Killing Kindness: How Law School Honor Codes Miss The Mark On Moral Character, Jordan Stevenson

Legal Writing Competition Winners

Do law schools foster a culture of kindness? This essay argues that law schools’ policies do not adequately address non-academic misconduct, resulting in university policies that fail to promote good moral character. This argument is supported by analyzing a sample of law school student conduct and honor codes, examining anecdotal evidence of law school experiences, and looking at American Bar Association (ABA) regulations. This essay concludes that current honor codes are inconsistent and insufficient and provides suggestions to improve the Model Rules of Professional Conduct, add a Standard for ABA law school regulation, and institute honor codes regarding non-academic misconduct.

Maine Law Review

Alan Bakke, an unsuccessful medical school applicant, filed suit challenging the constitutionality of the minority admissions program administered by the Medical School of the University of California at Davis. The practice of reserving sixteen special places for minority students out of a total of 100 positions in the entering class, Bakke contended, constituted a denial of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. Bakke's suit afforded the justices of both the California Supreme Court and the United States Supreme Court a unique opportunity to examine the substantive nature of the "equality" …

Justice, Human Rights, And The New Charisma Of Anti-Democratic Ideologies, Cardozo Law Institute In Holocaust And Human Rights (Clihhr), Floersheimer Center For Constitutional Democracy, Matthias Mahlmann

2025 Event Invitations

Democracies are under pressure worldwide – externally by authoritarian states and internally by political forces that spread anti-democratic ideologies even if masked by avowed concern for the people. While reasons are intensely debated, this talk critically revisits explanations for the charisma of post-democratic ideologies by (1) investigating normative foundations of the exacting and fragile project of democracy and its relation to human rights and (2) discussing human rights theory in times of widespread human rights skepticism and its meaning for crises of democracy. How can we defend the project of democracy in theory and practice?
