Constitutional Law
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This open source casebook is a companion to my book, Fidelity & Constraint (Oxford 2019). It covers the course material of federalism, separation of powers, and the Civil War Amendments, organized into a framework for understanding how the Supreme Court has developed these doctrines. That framework is suggestive for domains beyond the scope of this casebook. The casebook can obviously be used independently of the book. Ideally, it would be used against the argument of the book, by adding material that contradicts or weakens the arguments that I have offered there. But the intent was to offer both readers of the book a way to see the source material more easily, and for users of the casebook to have a source to read more deeply. Obviously, there is a great deal of constitutional law not included within the scope of this casebook. Our hope is that others will remix this version, and add sections to cover the missing parts. If that use develops, we will find a way to display the competing versions. Our ultimate hope is to encourage a kind of casebook-authoring-competition, so that the extraordinary talent of law professors across the country could find an easier way to express itself, free of the economic constraints (and opportunities) of traditional publishing.  AcknowledgmentsI am grateful to my friend Jonathan Zittrain for making the extraordinary talent of the Harvard Law Library available to me to complete this work.

This course examines national separation of powers and federalism as core values and structural elements of the United States Constitution. It analyzes the nature and scope of the powers the U.S. Constitution vests in the three branches of the national government, the interrelationships among those branches, the distribution of powers among local, state, territorial, and federal governments, and the ways in which these structures and relationships impact democratic processes, individual rights and the advancement (or weakening) of core constitutional values, including democratic governance, equal citizenship, individual liberty and the rule of law.

Contract Doctrine, Theory & Practice - Volume 1

CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

This is Volume 1 in a three volume series written for Contracts Law. The first semester of law school is mostly about learning to speak a new legal language (but emphatically not ŇlegaleseÓ), to formulate and evaluate legal arguments, to become comfortable with the distinctive style of legal analysis. We could teach these skills using almost any legal topic. But we begin the first-year curriculum with subjects that pervade the entire field of law. Contract principles have a long history and they form a significant part of the way that lawyers think about many legal problems. As you will discover when you study insurance law, employment law, family law, and dozens of other practice areas, your knowledge of contract doctrine and theory will be invaluable.

Contracts
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Contracts are an important type of "private" law.  Many contracts arise due to gains from trade owing to differences in (i) resources, (ii) valuation, (iii) expectations, (iv) risk-bearing abilities, and (v) production abilities (from economies of scale, special skills, and specialization and division of labor), and complementarities among those abilities. Other contracts respond to issues, restrictions, obligations or entitlements arising from other laws, such as licenses, disclaimers, settlements, formal requirements, and non-disclosure agreements. Lawyers play crucial roles in crafting contracts and structuring complex projects, linking "suites" of contracts to coordinate multiple parties over time, against background regulation and contract law. Courts and legislatures interact to produce and redirect common law of contract and specialized rules and standards for subtypes of contracts, which evolve over time and vary across jurisdictions and contract settings.  To do so, they pursue three general goals simultaneously:  (1) enhancing welfare of contract parties (or classes of parties), (2) respecting morality (particularly aspects of individual autonomy, but also limits of autonomy), and (3) minimizing costs of administration.  Remedies are central, as well as limits on remedies, with courts inevitably developing and applying public policies due to the common need to find, construct and remedy breaches of contracts.

Contracts: Happiness and Heartbreak
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC-SA
Rating
0.0 stars

Contracting often facilitates happiness. It enables us to do things we would otherwise be unable to do and thus to live more fully, richly, enjoyably. We enter into contracts constantly, often with little consciousness about legal consequences. Typically we become self-conscious only when a problem arises. Our course will mainly be about problems arising from contracting. It is largely an exploration of contract pathology. Before we turn to problems, however, I want to emphasize ways in which contracting is satisfying.
