The Justice In Unjust Enrichment, Dan Priel 2014 Osgoode Hall Law School of York University

The Justice In Unjust Enrichment, Dan Priel

Osgoode Hall Law Journal

The question of what justice has to do with the law of unjust enrichment (if it has anything to do with it at all) has in recent years come to occupy scholars who have sought to explain the theoretical foundations of this area of law and its relationship with other branches of private law. A popular answer has been that the law of unjust enrichment, like the rest of private law, instantiates the politically neutral norms of corrective justice. In this article, I argue that this is not the case in two distinct senses. First, even on its own, corrective …


Towards Universal Fiduciary Principles, Tamar Frankel 2014 Boston University School of Law

Towards Universal Fiduciary Principles, Tamar Frankel

Faculty Scholarship

Fiduciary relationships play an important role in civil law and common law jurisdictions. While both legal systems offer similar outcomes in upholding fiduciary law principles, the way they achieve these ends is fundamentally different. In common law jurisdictions, fiduciary law is rooted in the law of property. By contrast, in civil law jurisdictions, fiduciary principles find their source in contract law. This article seeks to reconcile these differences, by identifying universal principles that apply to both systems. The author describes the sources of fiduciary law in the common law and the civil law, then highlights underlying differences between the two …


Introduction: Angles Of The Right To Counsel In Civil Cases Debate: Formalism, Immigration, Reviewability, And Empiricism, John Pollock 2014 University of the District of Columbia School of Law

Introduction: Angles Of The Right To Counsel In Civil Cases Debate: Formalism, Immigration, Reviewability, And Empiricism, John Pollock

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

Given the recent celebrations of Gideon v. Wainwright's 5 0 th anniversary,' it is most appropriate that this Symposium issue focuses on the civil right to counsel. While Gideon was only about the right to counsel in criminal cases, many of the events and articles marking the anniversary discussed the interplay between criminal and civil cases,2 even reaching the front page of the New York Times 3 and various radio shows. 4 Yet historically, criminal and civil cases have rarely been discussed simultaneously.


The Trumpet Player's Lament: Rethinking The Civil Gideon Movement, Chad Flanders, Alexander Muntges 2014 University of the District of Columbia School of Law

The Trumpet Player's Lament: Rethinking The Civil Gideon Movement, Chad Flanders, Alexander Muntges

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

In Gideon 's Trumpet,' Anthony Lewis recounts the story of Clarence Gideon, an indigent man whose appeal to the United States Supreme Court improbably culminated with the Court holding that the right to counsel in a criminal trial was a fundamental right, one which requires the states to provide counsel to indigent criminal defendants. 2 Almost fifty years later in Turner v. Rogers,3 the Court rejected the analogous argument that the right to counsel in a civil contempt proceeding was a fundamental right where an indigent, noncustodial parent faces incarceration. This argument was at the core of the civil Gideon …


Expanding The Civil Privilege Of Being Represented By Counsel Through The Presumed Prejudice Doctrine, Maurice Hew Jr. 2014 University of the District of Columbia School of Law

Expanding The Civil Privilege Of Being Represented By Counsel Through The Presumed Prejudice Doctrine, Maurice Hew Jr.

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

On the fiftieth anniversary of Gideon v Wainwright,' many scholars are examining 2 the promise to not ration justice 3 by requiring counsel to be appointed for the indigent for State crimes. 4 Yet, other scholars are trying to expand Gideon's promise to all civil law matters,5 including immigration. Providing free appointed immigration counsel for representation in secretive 7 civil immigration removal proceedings would be ideal. However, for respondents who are subjected to the mandatory deportation consequences of their *9. convictions, immigration representation is impractical and serves little purpose.' 0 A better approach is to have criminal counsel simultaneously provide …
