This article urges humanistic legal studies to take the technical dimensions of law as a central focus of inquiry. Using archival and ethnographic investigations into developments in American Conflict of Laws doctrines as an example, and building on insights in the anthropology of knowledge and in science and technology studies that focus on technical practices in scientific and engineering domains, it aims to show that the technologies of law - an ideology that law is a tool and an accompanying technical aesthetic of legal knowledge - are far more central and far more interesting dimensions of legal practice than humanists have often conceded. The article's concrete focus is the nature of relations of means and ends in the Realist Revolution, as exemplified by the field of Conflicts, and the quiet but fundamental transformation of the character of those relations in mid and late-twentieth century legal knowledge.
本文敦促人本主义法学研究将法律的技术维度作为研究的中心焦点。以对美国法律冲突学说发展的档案和民族志调查为例,并以知识人类学和关注科学和工程领域技术实践的科学技术研究的见解为基础,它旨在表明,法律的技术——一种认为法律是一种工具的意识形态,以及伴随而来的法律知识的技术美学——在法律实践中远比人文主义者经常承认的更重要、更有趣。本文的具体重点是现实主义革命中手段和目的关系的性质,如《冲突》领域的例证,以及这些关系在20世纪中后期法律知识中悄然发生的基础性转变。

Robert Houghwout Jackson (1892-1954) was Solicitor General and Attorney General in the administration of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court and chief American prosecutor at Nuremberg, but Jackson's values and outlook were anchored in western New York, where he grew up and then practiced law for twenty years before joining the New Deal. Jackson also had, throughout his adult life, particularly close ties to the city of Buffalo, the University of Buffalo and its School of Law. Today, Jackson's enduring significance is becoming increasingly visible due to notable efforts based in his home region and adult hometown of Jamestown, New York. In early 2001, the Robert H. Jackson Center was established in Jamestown - and on the web - to advance Jackson's legacy through educational programming, exhibitry and special events that connect his life and ideas to today's issues and challenges. This essay, based on remarks that were delivered at the July 2002 Jackson Center dedication of Justice Jackson's portrait, discusses his own participation in tribute and dedication events, his various portraits that are displayed in locations throughout the country, and the magnetic power of great people and their depictions. An image of the portrait of Jackson by painter Lurabel Long Colburn will be published alongside this essay.
罗伯特·霍沃特·杰克逊(Robert Houghwout Jackson, 1892-1954)是富兰克林·d·罗斯福总统政府的副检察长和总检察长,也是最高法院的大法官和纽伦堡的首席检察官,但杰克逊的价值观和观点扎根于纽约西部,他在那里长大,在加入新政之前从事了20年的法律工作。杰克逊在他的整个成年生活中,与布法罗市、布法罗大学及其法学院有着特别密切的联系。今天,由于在他的家乡和成年后的家乡纽约詹姆斯敦所做的显著努力,杰克逊的持久意义正变得越来越明显。2001年初,罗伯特·h·杰克逊中心(Robert H. Jackson Center)在詹姆斯敦成立,通过教育节目、展览和特别活动,将杰克逊的生活和思想与当今的问题和挑战联系起来,推进杰克逊的遗产。本文以2002年7月杰克逊中心为杰克逊法官画像举行的献礼仪式为基础,讨论了杰克逊本人参与的致敬和奉献活动,他在全国各地展出的各种画像,以及伟人及其肖像的吸引力。画家卢贝尔·朗·科尔伯恩(Lurabel Long Colburn)为杰克逊画的肖像将与本文一起发表。

'The Most Glorious Story of Failure in the Business:' the Studebaker-Packard Corporation and the Origins of Erisa 《商业中最辉煌的失败故事:斯图德贝克-帕卡德公司和Erisa的起源

The Studebaker-Packard Corporation occupies a distinctive place in the lore of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. No single event is more closely associated with ERISA than the shutdown of the Studebaker plant in South Bend, Indiana. Soon after the plant closed in December 1963, Studebaker terminated the retirement plan for hourly workers, and the plan defaulted on its obligations. The plight of Studebaker employees quickly emerged as a symbol of the need for pension reform. This article examines the history of the Studebaker-Packard Corporation to understand why and how the shutdown came to play a role in the political history of ERISA. Briefly, the shutdown played an important role in pension reform because the United Auto Workers union was prepared to take advantage of the political opportunity the shutdown created. By the time the plant closed, the UAW was well aware that "default risk" - the risk that a pension plan will terminate without enough funds to meet its obligations - threatened union members. Studebaker-Packard had terminated the retirement plan for employees of the former Packard Motor Car Company in 1958. Packard workers got even less than their counterparts at Studebaker would receive in 1964. The Packard termination convinced UAW president Walter Reuther that the union needed to protect its members from default risk. In the early 1960s, the UAW devised a remedy - a proposal for "pension reinsurance" - that is a precursor of the termination-insurance program created by Title IV of ERISA. The Studebaker shutdown gave the union an opportunity to move default risk and termination insurance onto the legislative agenda. The success of this effort in agenda-setting indelibly linked Studebaker to the cause of pension reform.
在1974年的《雇员退休收入保障法》中,斯德贝克-帕卡德公司占据了一个独特的位置。与ERISA联系最密切的事件莫过于印第安纳州南本德市Studebaker工厂的关闭。1963年12月工厂关闭后不久,斯图德贝克终止了小时工的退休计划,该计划违约。斯图德贝克员工的困境迅速成为养老金改革必要性的象征。本文考察了斯图德贝克-帕卡德公司的历史,以了解为什么以及如何关闭在ERISA的政治史上发挥作用。简而言之,政府关门在养老金改革中发挥了重要作用,因为美国汽车工人联合会准备利用政府关门带来的政治机会。到工厂关闭的时候,UAW已经充分意识到“违约风险”——养老金计划在没有足够资金履行其义务的情况下终止的风险——威胁着工会成员。1958年,斯图德贝克-帕卡德终止了前帕卡德汽车公司员工的退休计划。帕卡德公司员工的工资甚至低于1964年斯图德贝克公司员工的工资。解雇帕卡德一事使UAW主席沃尔特•鲁瑟相信,工会需要保护其成员免受违约风险。在20世纪60年代早期,UAW制定了一项补救措施——“养老金再保险”提案——这是ERISA第四章所创建的终止保险计划的前身。Studebaker关门给了工会将违约风险和终止保险提上立法议程的机会。这一议程设置的成功将斯图德贝克与养老金改革的事业不可磨灭地联系在一起。

Braking the Merger Momentum: Reforming Corporate Law Governing Mega-Mergers 遏制并购势头:改革管理大型并购的公司法
IF 0.5 4区 社会学 Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2000-05-22 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.223149

This paper articulates a legal reform that is designed to rein in the number of value-decreasing stock-for-stock mega-mergers--the signature transaction of the 1990s and the beginning years of the new millenium--by causing board members to question more critically a mega-merger proposal when they are asked to approve it and even to continue to reevaluate their approval of a merger until its closing. The Article first describes the current merger wave and highlights reports of emerging problems in mega-mergers and the relevant economic data indicating that a majority of the transactions are value-decreasing for shareholders both in the short and long term. It next examines why these transactions are occurring and why they have been little criticized, focusing on their economic and business justifications, the recognizable psychological tendencies (exacerbated in today's merger climate) affecting chief executives, board members and investors and motivating them to propose and approve the transactions, and the journalistic celebration of (and a general political silence on) the mega-mergers. The paper then analyzes the legal foundations of the mega-mergers and observes that merger jurisprudence developing from cases involving hostile takeovers encouraged (i) management to engage in (and boards to approve with little court review) stock-for-stock mega-mergers and (ii) the corporate law bar to reinforce contractual provisions in merger agreements intended to "tie the hands" of boards that enter into the mergers. Finally, the paper proposes a new intermediate standard of court review of board decisions approving stock-for-stock mega-mergers, which should produce a new standard of board conduct in these transactions, addresses several possible criticisms of the standard, and advocates additional nonlegal and legal reforms that would make the standard more effective.
本文阐述了一项法律改革,旨在通过促使董事会成员在被要求批准一项大型合并提案时更加批判性地质疑它,甚至在合并完成之前继续重新评估他们对合并的批准,从而控制价值下降的股票换股票大型合并的数量——这是20世纪90年代和新千年开始的标志性交易。本文首先描述了当前的并购浪潮,重点介绍了大型并购中出现的问题,以及相关的经济数据,这些数据表明,大多数交易在短期和长期内对股东都是价值递减的。接下来,本文探讨了这些交易发生的原因,以及为什么它们很少受到批评,重点是它们的经济和商业理由,影响首席执行官、董事会成员和投资者的可识别的心理倾向(在当今的合并环境中加剧了这种倾向),并促使他们提出和批准这些交易,以及媒体对大型合并的庆祝(以及政治上的普遍沉默)。然后,本文分析了大型并购的法律基础,并观察到,从涉及敌意收购的案例中发展而来的并购法理学鼓励(i)管理层参与(以及董事会在几乎没有法院审查的情况下批准)以股换股的大型并购,以及(ii)公司法律师加强合并协议中的合同条款,旨在“束缚”参与合并的董事会的手。最后,本文提出了一个新的法院审查董事会批准股票换股票大型合并决定的中间标准,这应该产生一个新的董事会在这些交易中的行为标准,解决了对该标准的几个可能的批评,并主张进行额外的非法律和法律改革,使该标准更有效。

What Makes 'Model' Sexual Offenses - A Canadian Perspective 什么是“模范”性犯罪——加拿大人的观点
IF 0.5 4区 社会学 Q2 LAW Pub Date : 2000-04-01 DOI: 10.1525/nclr.2000.4.1.487
C. Boyle
This paper, originally presented at a conference on the US Model Penal Code, discusses how Canadian reform of the law of sexual assault could contribute to a new Model Code. While criteria for "modelness" are elusive, model offenses must at least be consistent with constitutional norms and concerns about legality, such as fair notice. Equality rights should not be neglected. The author discusses both Canadian efforts to make sexual assault law egalitarian and criticism of such efforts. More generally, in the context of a body of law generating significant controversy, a model law should contain a clear articulation of what its framers appeal to for legitimacy. Concern is expressed that one way of seeking legitimacy while not addressing the problem of crimes against distinctively victimized and marginalized groups is to satisfy dominant concerns while adopting a posture of embattled and principled constraint. Claims to restraint or balance should not mask a political perspective antagonistic to the equality interests of vulnerable groups. Specific issues are addressed: should model sexual assault offenses be gender neutral; should there be any relationship immunity; what is the appropriate scope of criminal behavior; and what are the appropriate controls on fact determination?
这篇论文最初是在美国示范刑法典会议上发表的,讨论了加拿大对性侵犯法律的改革如何有助于制定新的示范刑法典。虽然“模范性”的标准难以捉摸,但模范性犯罪必须至少符合宪法规范和对合法性的关切,例如公平通知。平等权利不应被忽视。作者讨论了加拿大为使性侵犯法平等化所做的努力以及对这些努力的批评。更一般地说,在产生重大争议的法律体系的背景下,示范法应明确阐明其制定者为合法性所呼吁的内容。委员会表示关切的是,在不解决针对特别受害和边缘化群体的犯罪问题的同时寻求合法性的一种方式是,在采取一种严阵阵战和原则性约束的姿态的同时满足占主导地位的关切。克制或平衡的主张不应掩盖与弱势群体平等利益对立的政治观点。具体问题是:模范性侵犯犯罪是否应该是性别中立的;如果存在任何关系豁免;犯罪行为的适当范围是什么;对事实确定的适当控制是什么?

Localism and Regionalism 地方主义和地区主义
IF 0.5 4区 社会学 Q2 LAW Pub Date : 1999-08-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.198822
Richard Briffault
Localism and regionalism are normally seen as conflicting, conceptions of metropolitan area governance. Localism is the belief that the existing system of a large number of relatively small governments wielding power over such critical matters as land use regulation, local taxation, and the financing of local public services ought to be preserved. Regionalism would move some power to institutions, organizations or procedures with a larger territorial scope and more population than existing local governments. Regionalism appears to be a step towards centralization, and the antithesis of the decentralization represented by localism. Yet, in the metropolitan areas that dominate America at the end of the twentieth century, regionalism is not just the enemy of localism: It is also localism's logical extension. Localism is based on a set of arguments concerning the role of local governments in promoting governmental efficiency, democracy, and community. But in contemporary metropolitan areas, the economically, socially, and ecologically relevant local area is often the region. In these areas, concerns about efficiency, democracy, and community ought to lead to a shift in power from existing localities to new processes, structures, or organizations that can promote decision-making on behalf of the region. Regionalism is, thus, localism for metropolitan areas. Localists, however, do not become regionalists when they live in metropolitan areas. Indeed, resistance to regionalism is intense in many metropolitan areas. Localism is not simply a theory intended to advance certain normative goals. It is also a means of protecting the interests of those who receive advantages from the existing governance structure. Local self-interest, rather than the political values localism is said to advance, plays a central role in the opposition to regionalism. This essay explores the relationship between localism and regionalism. It considers the meaning of regionalism in contemporary urban policy debates and the reasons why regionalism currently enjoys so much attention from academics, urbanists and policy analysts. It reviews the arguments for localism, and explains how, despite the asserted conflict between localism and regionalism, the theories underlying localism actually make a case for regionalism in contemporary metropolitan areas. Finally, it examines the role of local self-interest in the resistance to regionalism, and the efforts of regionalists to respond by making the case for regionalism in terms of local self-interest as well.
地方主义和地区主义通常被视为相互冲突的都市治理概念。地方主义是一种信念,认为现有的由许多相对较小的政府在土地使用监管、地方税收和地方公共服务融资等关键问题上行使权力的制度应该得到保留。地方主义将把一些权力移交给比现有地方政府拥有更大领土范围和更多人口的机构、组织或程序。区域主义似乎是走向中央集权的一步,与以地方主义为代表的权力下放相对立。然而,在20世纪末主导美国的大都市地区,地区主义不仅是地方主义的敌人,也是地方主义的逻辑延伸。地方主义基于一系列关于地方政府在促进政府效率、民主和社区方面的作用的论点。但在当代都市圈中,经济、社会和生态相关的地方往往是区域。在这些领域,对效率、民主和社区的关注应该导致权力从现有的地方转移到新的程序、结构或组织,以促进代表该地区的决策。因此,地区主义是大都市地区的地方主义。但是,地方主义者如果住在首都地区,就不会变成地方主义者。事实上,在许多大都市地区,对地方主义的抵制非常强烈。地方主义不仅仅是一种旨在推进某些规范目标的理论。它也是保护那些从现有治理结构中获益的人的利益的一种手段。在反对地方主义的过程中,地方自身利益,而不是地方主义所提倡的政治价值,发挥着核心作用。本文探讨了地方主义与地域主义的关系。它考虑了地域主义在当代城市政策辩论中的意义,以及地域主义目前受到学者、城市学家和政策分析师如此关注的原因。它回顾了地方主义的争论,并解释了尽管地方主义和地区主义之间断言存在冲突,但地方主义的理论实际上为当代大都市地区主义提供了理由。最后,它考察了地方自身利益在抵制地方主义中的作用,以及地方主义者通过从地方自身利益的角度出发,为地方主义做出回应的努力。
