This paper articulates and examines one ideal for the institution of marriage - marriage as an egalitarian liberal community. Under this vision, the communal values of marriage, where spouses share with each other without reference to individual desert, are combined with a concern for non-subordination and a protection of individual autonomy, notably free exit. We argue that, contrary to the common assumption that these goals are incompatible, they can be accommodated to a remarkable degree. We then trace the implications for this vision of marriage for marital property law. We use it to defend the equal division rule of existing marital assets, as well as a broad scope for marital property, including notably both the spouses' increased (and decreased) earning capacity during the pendency of their marriage. We also discuss alimony, endorsing generally the current practice of rehabilitative alimony, and property governance, arguing for community property rules for spouses during marriage.

The Supreme Court's decision in Grutter v. Bollinger,1 upholding race-conscious affirmative action in admissions to the University of Michigan Law School, is widely seen as a landmark decision for its reaffirmation ofJustice Lewis Powell's position in the Bakke case2 a quarter century ago. The Powell opinion had justified the consideration of race as one factor in a public university's admissions process designed to produce diversity in its student body for educational purposes.3 In Grutter, the Court spelled out in some detail the potential educational advantages of student diversity, including the preparation of graduates for a society and a work force that are growing more and more diverse. The opinion thus provides a grounding in social science for the advantages Justice Powell had asserted on the basis of less evidence.
最高法院在格鲁特诉博林格案(Grutter v. Bollinger)中做出的裁决,在密歇根大学法学院(University of Michigan Law School)的录取中支持种族歧视的平权法案,被广泛视为一个里程碑式的决定,因为它重申了25年前刘易斯·鲍威尔大法官(Lewis Powell)在巴克案中的立场。鲍威尔的意见证明,公立大学在招生过程中考虑种族因素是合理的,目的是为了教育目的而使学生群体多样化在格鲁特案中,最高法院详细阐述了学生多样性在教育方面的潜在优势,包括为毕业生为日益多样化的社会和劳动力做好准备。因此,该意见为鲍威尔大法官在较少证据的基础上断言的优势提供了社会科学基础。
