Download or read book The Death of the Irreparable Injury Rule written by Douglas Laycock and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1991 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The irreparable injury rule says that courts will not grant an equitable remedy to prevent harm if it would be adequate to let the harm happen and grant the legal remedy of money damages. After surveying more than 1400 cases, Laycock concludes that this ancient rule is dead--that it almost never affects the results of cases. When a court denies equitable relief, its real reasons are derived from the interests of defendants or the legal system, and not from the adequacy of the plaintiff's legal remedy. Laycock seeks to complete the assimilation of equity, showing that the law-equity distinction survives only as a proxy for other, more functional distinctions. Analyzing the real rules for choosing remedies in terms of these functional distinctions, he clarifies the entire law of remedies, from grand theory down to the practical details of specific cases. He shows that there is no positive law support for the most important applications of the legal-economic theory of efficient breach of contract. Included are extensive notes and a detailed table of cases arranged by jurisdiction.

Download or read book Brennan and Democracy written by Frank I. Michelman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005-01-17 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Brennan and Democracy, a leading thinker in U.S. constitutional law offers some powerful reflections on the idea of "constitutional democracy," a concept in which many have seen the makings of paradox. Here Frank Michelman explores the apparently conflicting commitments of a democratic governmental system where key aspects of such important social issues as affirmative action, campaign finance reform, and abortion rights are settled not by a legislative vote but by the decisions of unelected judges. Can we--or should we--embrace the values of democracy together with constitutionalism, judicial supervision, and the rule of law? To answer this question, Michelman calls into service the judicial career of Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, the country's model "activist" judge for the past forty years. Michelman draws on Brennan's record and writings to suggest how the Justice himself might have understood the judiciary's role in the simultaneous promotion of both democratic and constitutional government. The first chapter prompts us to reflect on how tough and delicate an act it is for the members of a society to attempt living together as a people devoted to self-government. The second chapter seeks to renew our appreciation for democratic liberal political ideals, and includes an extensive treatment of Brennan's judicial opinions, which places them in relation to opposing communitarian and libertarian positions. Michelman also draws on the views of two other prominent constitutional theorists, Robert Post and Ronald Dworkin, to build a provocative discussion of whether democracy is best conceived as a "procedural" or a "substantive" ideal.

Download or read book Freedom Fighters of the United States Supreme Court written by James E. Leahy and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1996 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the exception of the first justice profiled here, John M. Harlan, Supreme Court justices generally voted for the government and against freedom prior to the 1920s. With the appointment of Justice Louis D. Brandeis, votes for and opinions about freedom became more prevalent. However it was not until the appointments of Chief Justice Earl Warren, and such associate justices as William J. Brennan, Jr., and Thurgood Marshall that the court consistently voted against government infringement on individual rights. These five justices and four others (Charles Evans Hughes, Hugo L. Black, William O. Douglas and Frank Murphy) steadfastly supported First Amendment and other Bill of Rights freedoms and protections. The votes and opinions of the nine justices are the central focus, and a brief biography is provided for each.
