Nebraska College of Law: Faculty Publications
Justice Antonin Scalia's sudden death in February, 2016, was a great loss for his family, a great loss for his friends, and a great loss for the "Written Constitution" of the United States of America. We will have no more of his brilliant, witty, and pugnacious judicial opinions. Instead, we will have to settle for the body of work he left behind as his legacy. But, as one commentator has said, his opinions are "so consistent, so powerful, and so penetrating in their devotion to the rule of law"—the real rule of law, not the political decrees of judges creating …

The Privatization Of Law & The Weakening Of Private Right, Jeffrey Kleeger
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
Law promises much but does not always deliver. It promises due process, equal protection, equity, and personal autonomy—but many individuals leave litigation uncured. The trend in recent years has been increasing privatization of law coupled with diminution of private right. This paper explores ways to secure private rights despite privatization of law by enhancing the rigor of judicial review of state action. Law is one of several social systems operating in an environment of limited resources. Access to oil and gas is, today, more controversial, difficult, and expensive than ever before because of increased environmental regulations created under the Obama …

Distributive Justice And Contract Law: A Hohfeldian Analysis, Marco Jimenez
Florida State University Law Review
According to Aristotle, justice consists of giving each person his due: equal members of society should be treated equally, and unequal members, unequally. This justice, in turn, comes in two flavors: distributive and corrective. Distributive justice—which has as its purview society at large—is concerned with distributing society's shares to individuals according to merit. Whereas, the purview of corrective justice concerns voluntary (e.g., contracts) and involuntary (e.g., torts) transactions, and it seeks to rectify unjust alterations in the distributive scheme by returning the parties to the position they occupied before the distributive scheme was altered, which is to say, before a …
