Agriculture and Res Ipsa Loquitur 农业和Res Ipsa Loquitur
Pub Date : 2017-04-17 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2954231
Chad G. Marzen
This Article is intended to contribute to the literature concerning the relationship between agricultural law and tort liability by examining cases involving the application of the res ipsa loquitur doctrine to cases involving agriculture. Courts throughout the country vary on whether to apply res ipsa loquitur to cases involving agricultural interests. This Article finds that the following three general rules can be gleaned depending upon the fact pattern: 1. A majority of courts have held that the res ipsa loquitur doctrine does not apply in cases involving crop or barn fires. 2. A majority of courts hold that the res ipsa loquitur doctrine applies in cases involving pesticide drift, the application of pesticides by crop dusting and spraying companies, as well as application of pesticides from contaminated barrels of insecticide. 3. There is a split in authority on whether res ipsa loquitur applies in cases involving escaped livestock.
本文旨在通过审查涉及在涉及农业的案件中适用事实免责原则的案例,对有关农业法与侵权责任关系的文献作出贡献。全国各地的法院在是否对涉及农业利益的案件适用沉默规则方面各不相同。本文发现,根据事实模式可以收集到以下三个一般规则:大多数法院认为沉默不言原则不适用于涉及农作物或谷仓火灾的案件。2. 大多数法院认为,不追究责任原则适用于涉及农药漂移、作物喷粉和喷洒公司使用农药以及从受污染的杀虫剂桶中使用农药的案件。3.对于是否在涉及走失牲畜的案件中适用“失语保护法”,当局存在分歧。

Kiobel and Extraterritoriality: Here, (Not) There, (Not Even) Everywhere 基奥贝尔与治外法权:这里,(不是)那里,(甚至不是)无处不在
Pub Date : 2017-01-01 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2958277
E. Swaine
The Supreme Court’s decision in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. was relentlessly, and unexpectedly, local in character. Notwithstanding the global outlook suggested by the Alien Tort Statute (ATS), which governs civil actions by “an alien” for torts contrary to “the law of nations or a treaty of the United States,” the Court invoked the presumption against extraterritoriality to limit the statute’s reach. This Article, based on remarks delivered at the University of Oklahoma Law School, puts a heavy emphasis on territoriality — not, it should be stressed, as a matter of normative preference, but purely as a reflection of the Court’s recent cases. It is accordingly inconsistent with some of the more expansive readings of the ATS, though it stops short of Justice Alito’s prescription. If future cases are to depart substantially from territoriality, the better path is not to explore what Kiobel left unresolved, but to revisit what it purported to settle.
最高法院在Kiobel诉荷兰皇家石油公司一案中的判决是无情的,而且出乎意料地具有地方性。尽管《外国人侵权法》(ATS)规定了“外国人”针对违反“各国法律或美国条约”的侵权行为提起的民事诉讼具有全球视野,但法院援引了反对治外法权的推定来限制该规约的适用范围。这篇文章以俄克拉何马大学法学院的发言为基础,着重强调了领土问题- -应该强调的是,这不是一种规范偏好问题,而纯粹是法院最近案件的反映。因此,它与对ATS的一些更广泛的解读是不一致的,尽管它没有达到阿利托大法官的处方。如果未来的案件在很大程度上偏离了领土问题,那么更好的途径不是探究Kiobel没有解决的问题,而是重新审视它声称要解决的问题。

Belief States in Criminal Law 刑法的信仰状态
Pub Date : 2016-04-26 DOI: 10.31235/osf.io/d9zg2
James Macleod
Belief-state ascription—determining what someone “knew,” “believed,” was “aware of,” etc.—is central to many areas of law. In criminal law, the distinction between knowledge and recklessness, and the use of broad jury instructions concerning other belief states, presupposes a common and stable understanding of what those belief-state terms mean. But a wealth of empirical work at the intersection of philosophy and psychology—falling under the banner of “Experimental Epistemology”—reveals how laypeople’s understandings of mens rea concepts differ systematically from what scholars, courts, and perhaps legislators, have assumed.As implemented, mens rea concepts are much more context-dependent and normatively evaluative than the conventional wisdom suggests, even assuming that jurors are following jury instructions to the letter. As a result, there is less difference between knowledge and recklessness than is typically assumed; jurors consistently “over”-ascribe knowledge to criminal defendants; and concepts like “belief,” “awareness,” and “conscious disregard” mean different things in different contexts, resulting in mens rea findings systematically responsive to aspects of the case traditionally considered irrelevant to the meaning of those terms.This Article provides the first systematic account of the factors driving jurors’ ascriptions of the specific belief states criminal law invokes. After surveying mens rea jury instructions, introducing the Experimental Epistemology literature to the legal literature on mens rea, and examining the implications of that literature for criminal law, this Article considers ways to begin bridging the surprisingly large gap between mens rea theory and practice.
信念-状态归属——确定某人“知道”、“相信”、“知道”等等——是法律许多领域的核心。在刑法中,知识和鲁莽之间的区别,以及广泛陪审团对其他信念状态的指示的使用,都是以对这些信念状态术语的含义有一个共同和稳定的理解为前提的。但是,在哲学和心理学交叉领域的大量实证研究——打着“实验认识论”的旗号——揭示了外行人对行为和概念的理解与学者、法院、也许还有立法者的假设是如何系统性地不同的。在实施过程中,即使假设陪审员严格遵循陪审团的指示,犯罪概念也比传统智慧所认为的更依赖于上下文和规范性评估。因此,知识和鲁莽之间的差别比通常认为的要小;陪审员一贯将知识“过度”归于刑事被告;像“信念”、“意识”和“有意识的无视”这样的概念在不同的语境中有不同的含义,导致犯罪行为调查结果系统地回应了传统上被认为与这些术语的含义无关的案件方面。本文首次系统地阐述了陪审员对刑法所援引的特定信念状态的归属的影响因素。在调查了犯罪行为的陪审团指示,将实验认识论文献介绍给关于犯罪行为的法律文献,并研究了这些文献对刑法的影响之后,本文考虑了如何开始弥合犯罪行为理论与实践之间惊人的巨大差距。

The Posterity Project: Developing a Method for Long-Term Political Reform 后人工程:发展一种长期政治改革的方法
Pub Date : 2013-09-16 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2326423
E. Foley
Akhil Amar, at the end of AMERICA'S UNWRITTEN CONSTITUTION (2012), mentions the idea of postponing for a long while the date on which newly adopted constitutional reforms become effective. The rationale for this idea, as Amar explains, is to impose a Rawlsian "veil of ignorance" on the adopters of the constitutional reforms, so that they have less ability to act strategically on behalf of their own descendants. This essay develops how Amar's idea might best be operationalized. In doing so, it proposes the creation of a nonpartisan Posterity College, with each state sending the same number of members as the state has in the Electoral College. The nation's two immediate past presidents from different political parties (now Clinton and Bush) would serve as the bipartisan co-chairs of this Posterity College. The essay discusses the procedures that this Posterity College would use for its deliberations, how its members would be appointed, some of the potential reforms it might consider, and how its proposals would become part of the Constitution but taking effect only long afterwards.
阿希尔·阿马尔在《美国不成文宪法》(2012)的末尾提到,要将新通过的宪法改革生效的日期推迟很长一段时间。正如阿马尔解释的那样,这种想法的基本原理是在宪法改革的采纳者身上强加罗尔斯式的“无知之幕”,这样他们就没有能力代表自己的后代采取战略行动。这篇文章阐述了如何最好地实现阿玛尔的想法。为此,它建议建立一个无党派的后代学院,每个州派出的成员数量与该州在选举团中的人数相同。来自不同政党的两位刚刚卸任的美国总统(现在的克林顿和布什)将担任这个后代学院的两党联合主席。这篇文章讨论了这个后人学院将用于其审议的程序,如何任命其成员,它可能考虑的一些潜在改革,以及它的建议如何成为宪法的一部分,但在很久之后才生效。

Five Answers and Three Questions after United States v. Jones (2012), the Fourth Amendment 'GPS Case' 美国诉琼斯案(2012)后的五个答案和三个问题,第四修正案“GPS案例”
Pub Date : 2012-03-28 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.2030390
B. Priester
One of the United States Supreme Court’s “high profile” cases this Term was “the GPS case,” United States v. Jones, which gained attention beyond legal circles to a wide variety of mainstream and popular media sources, both in print and online. When the decision was announced in January 2012, though, nearly everyone was left underwhelmed by the Court’s resolution of the case, at least compared to the anticipation beforehand. In one respect, at least, the Court was unanimous and clear: the defendant’s argument prevailed, and the Court ruled that the Fourth Amendment applied to what the police had done on the facts of the case. Other than that, however, the Court did not provide very much guidance about the Fourth Amendment implications of GPS surveillance of criminal suspects – or, more broadly, the authority of the government in general to maintain surveillance of the public movements of people in everyday life. The lack of clarity was made particularly acute because the underlying reasoning beneath the three opinions reveals a Court seemingly intent on avoiding the complex and difficult issues of Fourth Amendment rights in a digital, internet-interconnected age and putting off the tough judgment calls for another case another day. As is often true of the Court’s decisions, though, the reality is more nuanced than initial appearances might seem to indicate. While the opinions in Jones leave open several significant questions for resolution in future cases, they actually do provide answers to a number of subsidiary questions. Until those cases come before the Court, it is important not to lose sight of the answers the Court did provide in Jones, both for resolving cases in the lower courts in the meantime and for considering how the justices might approach those later cases when the day arrives. Consequently, it is worth taking the time to carefully consider not only the questions the Jones decision leaves open, but also the ones it answers. The narrowness of Jones may seem to make it an insignificant way station on the road to more definitive rulings – but it turns out there may be more to Jones after all.
美国最高法院本学期“引人注目”的案件之一是“GPS案”,即美国诉琼斯案,该案件引起了法律界以外的广泛关注,包括印刷和在线的主流和大众媒体。然而,当2012年1月宣布裁决时,几乎所有人都对最高法院的裁决感到失望,至少与之前的预期相比是这样。至少在一个方面,法院是一致和明确的:被告的论点占了上风,法院裁定第四修正案适用于警察对案件事实所做的事情。然而,除此之外,法院并没有就第四修正案对犯罪嫌疑人的GPS监视的影响提供太多指导,或者更广泛地说,对政府在日常生活中维持对公众活动的监视的一般权力提供太多指导。这种缺乏明确性的情况变得尤为严重,因为三项意见背后的基本推理表明,最高法院似乎有意在数字互联网互联时代回避第四修正案权利的复杂和困难问题,并将艰难的判决要求推迟到另一个案件的另一天。然而,正如法院的判决常常如此,实际情况比最初的表象所显示的要微妙得多。虽然琼斯案的意见为未来案件的解决留下了几个重要的问题,但它们实际上确实为一些附属问题提供了答案。在最高法院审理这些案件之前,重要的是不要忽视最高法院在琼斯案中提供的答案,这不仅是为了在此期间解决下级法院的案件,也是为了考虑法官们在那一天到来时可能如何处理那些后来的案件。因此,值得花时间仔细考虑的不仅是琼斯案的判决留下的问题,还有它所回答的问题。琼斯案的狭隘之处似乎使其成为通往更明确裁决的道路上的一个微不足道的中转站——但事实证明,琼斯案可能还有更多的意义。

Making Plaintiffs Whole: A Tax Problem of Interest 赔偿原告:利益的税收问题
Pub Date : 2011-09-27 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1934282
W. Foster
This article illustrates the dramatic tax impact of interest awards in otherwise non-taxable litigation recoveries and proposes two alternative legislative solutions for the over-taxing of plaintiffs in these cases. While plaintiffs who recover personal injury awards typically receive favorable tax treatment, those who receive interest on such awards are taxed on the interest and often are not able to utilize deductions for attorney’s fees and other costs paid to obtain the award. Further, the attorney’s portion of the recovery in a contingency fee arrangement will also be included in the plaintiff’s gross income. The result is that the plaintiff recovers less of the interest than the Treasury or her attorney, preventing the plaintiff from truly being made whole. After reviewing the historical and theoretical framework that produces these results, I suggest previously-proposed judicial solutions to the problem are impracticable and a legislative solution is necessary. I conclude with a proposal for two alternative legislative solutions - an expanded deduction and an exclusion - to provide relief for plaintiffs recovering partially taxable awards and to achieve the policy of fully compensating injured plaintiffs.
本文说明了利息奖励在其他非应税诉讼追回的戏剧性税收影响,并提出了两种替代的立法解决方案,在这些情况下对原告的过度征税。虽然获得人身伤害赔偿的原告通常会得到优惠的税收待遇,但那些获得此类赔偿利息的人要按利息纳税,而且往往不能利用为获得赔偿而支付的律师费和其他费用的扣除。此外,律师在应急费用安排中获得的赔偿部分也将包括在原告的总收入中。结果是原告获得的利息比财政部或她的律师要少,使原告无法真正得到补偿。在回顾了产生这些结果的历史和理论框架之后,我认为之前提出的司法解决方案是不切实际的,立法解决方案是必要的。最后,我提出了两种替代的立法解决方案——扩大扣除和排除——为原告提供救济,以收回部分应纳税的赔偿,并实现对受害原告进行全额赔偿的政策。

Oklahoma's Save Our State Amendment and the Conflict of Laws 俄克拉何马州的《拯救我们的州修正案》和法律冲突
Pub Date : 2011-07-23 DOI: 10.2139/SSRN.1893707
J. Parry
In November 2010, Oklahoma voters adopted the “Save Our State Amendment,” which provides a catalog of legal sources that Oklahoma courts may use when deciding cases, as well as a catalog of forbidden sources, which include “the legal precepts of other nations or cultures,” international law, and “Sharia Law.” A federal district court has enjoined the entire amendment in response to establishment and free exercise concerns (and without considering whether the “Sharia Law” portions could be severed from the rest of the amendment). Much of the reaction to the amendment has focused on these same constitutional issues and related political concerns. This essay, by contrast, approaches the Save Our State Amendment from a conflict of laws perspective, and I treat it primarily as a choice of law statute. Seen in this way, the Save Our State Amendment is a wretched piece of work, at least under the rather formal issue spotting analysis that I present here. If the amendment goes into effect – whether in whole or in part – it will raise a host of questions, some of them difficult, that could take years to work their way through the Oklahoma judicial system. The first section of this essay addresses the scope of the amendment – the entities to and the situations in which it applies. The second section considers the amendment’s impact on Oklahoma choice of law doctrine through its list of approved and forbidden legal sources for Oklahoma courts (and, by extension, federal district courts in Oklahoma when hearing diversity cases). The final section is a brief conclusion that assesses the larger impact of the issues I identify in this essay.I do not claim to have identified or fully addressed every issue that the amendment raises or every problem that it creates, and I have largely left discussion of the religion clauses issues to other writers, but I trust that this essay says enough to convince even those who support the amendment’s political goals that this is an irresponsible way to make law.
2010年11月,俄克拉荷马州选民通过了“拯救我们的州修正案”,该修正案提供了俄克拉荷马州法院在裁决案件时可以使用的法律来源目录,以及禁止来源目录,其中包括“其他国家或文化的法律规范”,国际法和“伊斯兰教法”。一家联邦地区法院禁止了整个修正案,以回应建立和自由行使的担忧(没有考虑“伊斯兰教法”部分是否可以从修正案的其余部分中分离出来)。对修正案的大部分反应都集中在同样的宪法问题和相关的政治问题上。相比之下,本文从法律冲突的角度来研究《拯救我们的州修正案》,我主要将其视为法律法规的选择。从这个角度来看,《拯救我们的州修正案》是一项糟糕的工作,至少从我在这里提出的相当正式的问题发现分析来看是这样。如果修正案生效——无论是全部生效还是部分生效——都会引发一系列问题,其中一些问题很难解决,可能需要数年时间才能通过俄克拉荷马州的司法系统。本文的第一部分论述了修订的范围-其适用的实体和情况。第二部分通过俄克拉何马州法院(以及俄克拉何马州联邦地区法院在审理多样性案件时)批准和禁止的法律来源清单,考虑修正案对俄克拉何马州法律选择原则的影响。最后一部分是一个简短的结论,评估了我在这篇文章中确定的问题的更大影响。我并没有声称已经确定或完全解决了修正案提出的每一个问题或它产生的每一个问题,我基本上把宗教条款问题的讨论留给了其他作者,但我相信这篇文章足以说服那些支持修正案政治目标的人,这是一种不负责任的立法方式。
{"title":"Oklahoma's Save Our State Amendment and the Conflict of Laws","authors":"J. Parry","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.1893707","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.1893707","url":null,"abstract":"In November 2010, Oklahoma voters adopted the “Save Our State Amendment,” which provides a catalog of legal sources that Oklahoma courts may use when deciding cases, as well as a catalog of forbidden sources, which include “the legal precepts of other nations or cultures,” international law, and “Sharia Law.” A federal district court has enjoined the entire amendment in response to establishment and free exercise concerns (and without considering whether the “Sharia Law” portions could be severed from the rest of the amendment). Much of the reaction to the amendment has focused on these same constitutional issues and related political concerns. This essay, by contrast, approaches the Save Our State Amendment from a conflict of laws perspective, and I treat it primarily as a choice of law statute. Seen in this way, the Save Our State Amendment is a wretched piece of work, at least under the rather formal issue spotting analysis that I present here. If the amendment goes into effect – whether in whole or in part – it will raise a host of questions, some of them difficult, that could take years to work their way through the Oklahoma judicial system. The first section of this essay addresses the scope of the amendment – the entities to and the situations in which it applies. The second section considers the amendment’s impact on Oklahoma choice of law doctrine through its list of approved and forbidden legal sources for Oklahoma courts (and, by extension, federal district courts in Oklahoma when hearing diversity cases).
