Converging Queer And Feminist Legal Theories: Family Feuds And Family Ties, Elaine Craig
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The notion that queer theory and feminism are inevitably in tension with one another has been well developed both by queer and feminist theorists. Queer theorists have critiqued feminist theories for being anti-sex, overly moralistic, essentialist, and statist. Feminist theorists have rejected queer theory as being un-critically pro-sex and dangerously protective of the private sphere. Unfortunately these reductionist accounts of what constitutes a plethora of diverse, eclectic and overlapping theoretical approaches to issues of sex, gender, and sexuality, often fail to account for the circumstances where these methodological approaches converge on legal projects aimed at advancing the complex justice interests …

The Pragmatic Incrementalism Of Common Law Intellectual Property, Shyamkrishna Balganesh
Faculty Scholarship
Intellectual property is today thought to be principally of statutory origin. Discussions of the subject invariably revolve around a close scrutiny of the federal statutes involved. Indeed, the frequency with which Congress amends the patent and copyright statutes seems to leave little doubt that it alone determines intellectual property's precise content and coverage. Nevertheless, there exists a rather robust body of state law that is almost entirely the creation of state courts and is directed at creating entitlements in information, ideas, expression, goodwill, one's image, and other related intangibles. These rights regimes are in turn collectively referred to as “common …

Minimalism And Deliberative Democracy: A Closer Look At The Virtues Of "Shallowness", Matthew J. Steilen
Journal Articles
Cass Sunstein has long argued that judicial minimalism promotes democracy. According to Sunstein’s view, a court can encourage the political branches of government to address an issue by using doctrines such as vagueness, nondelegation, and desuetude. Although much has been written about minimalism, very little has been said about the democracy-promotion thesis in particular. Yet it is one of the central claims of contemporary minimalism. This article attempts to remedy the deficiency. It argues that minimalism does not promote democracy because minimalist decisions lack the depth necessary to trigger democratic deliberation. The argument occurs in three steps. First, the article …

Proportionality, Rationality And Review, Paul Craig
Articles by Maurer Faculty
There is a debate in certain common law jurisdictions as to whether proportionality should be accepted as a general criterion for judicial review in administrative law. This article responds to Mike Taggart’s bifurcation thesis and his argument that proportionality should be reserved for rights-based cases, with low intensity rationality review being used for other types of case. I argue to the contrary that proportionality should be a general principle of judicial review that can be used both in cases concerned with rights and in non-rights based cases, albeit with varying intensity of review. The article begins by addressing the advantages …

Reason And Reasonableness In Review Of Agency Decisions, Jeffrey Pojanowski
Journal Articles
A company markets computer software that provides day traders with real-time data and recommendations for buying and selling futures on commodities markets. In a late night infomercial, the firm touts the spectacular "certified" profits that purchasers would have earned had they been using this one-of-a-kind system over the past seven years. What the suntanned host does not tell viewers at home is that these "certified" results are not based on actual trades, but simulations of what the system would have produced based on historical data. A regulator initiates administrative proceedings against the firm, charging that this omission "defrauded" customers under …
