Carbon Outlasts The Law: States Walk The Constitutional Line
State carbon policies to control climate warming and our energy future are under legal attack. A successful barrage of litigation now invokes the dormant Commerce Clause and the Federal Power Act as interpreted through the Filed Rate Doctrine, as well as the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution, to challenge the legal validity and sustainability of these state carbon-based laws. California…

WHY THE GOOGLE BOOKS SETTLEMENT IS PROCOMPETITIVE
ABSTRACT Although the Google Books Settlement has been criticized as anticompetitive, I conclude that this critique is mistaken. For out-of-copyright books, the settlement procompetitively expands output by clarifying which books are in the public domain and making them digitally available for free. For claimed in-copyright books, the settlement procompetitively expands output by clarifyin…

WHY (AND WHEN) JUDGES DISSENT: A THEORETICAL AND EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
ABSTRACT This paper develops and tests a model of self-interested judicial behavior to explore the phenomenon of judicial dissents, and in particular what we call ‘‘dissent aversion,’’ which sometimes causes a judge not to dissent even when he disagrees with the majority opinion.We examine dissent aversion using data fromboth the federal courts of appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court…

WHO HANGS WHOM FOR WHAT? THE DEATH PENALTY IN JAPAN
ABSTRACT Japanese judges are least likely to hang a defendant for murder if they graduated from a high-status university, passed the bar-exam-equivalent quickly, or enjoy a fast-track career within the courts. “Panel composition effects” and other measures of collegiality seem unrelated to sentencing patterns. To explore the effect of judicial panel composition beyond the more-often-st…

WHENCE COMES SECTION ONE? THE ABOLITIONIST ORIGINS OF THE FOURTEENTH AMENDMENT

As a result, more Americans know about ‘‘carpetbaggers’’…

TRIAL BY BATTLE
ABSTRACT For over a century England’s judicial system decided land disputes by ordering disputants’ legal representatives to bludgeon one another before an arena of spectating citizens. The victor won the property right for his principal. The vanquished lost his cause and, if he were unlucky, his life. People called these combats trials by battle.
