The Death of Law
This essay argues that a defining characteristic of modern law – the distinctive way in which it judges its addressees – will disappear. After sketching the distinctive nature of modern law's judgment, I show that it is part of a broader regulatory paradigm (rule or East Coast regulation) which is itself being superseded. Technological management is the alternative regulatory paradigm and I examine its rise and salience, showing how it might, in …
Law School 2061 Ψ
The comic books of my youth were remarkably bad at forecasting the future.While the nondystopian books envisaged that, by this point in history, the majority of us would be living on other planets, with the children who remained on earth piloting themselves to school in their own personal helicopters, the dystopian ones foresaw humanity enmired in various catastrophes, one of which culminated in the rise of earthly Mega-Cities policed by Street J…
Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's Suburbs
Cities ruled the first half of the 20th century; the second half belonged to the suburbs. Will cities become dominant again? Can the recent decline of many suburbs be slowed? This book predicts a surprising outcome in the decades-long tug-of-war between urban hubs and suburban outposts. The authors document signs of resurgence in cities and interpret omens of decline in many suburbs. They offer an extensive analysis of the 2000 census, with insig…

Foreclosing the Dream
That America entered a profound housing crisis in 2008 is well known. The wave of foreclosures that began to sweep the nation has had radical economic effects. But the force, ramifications, and implications for communities across America have never been spelled out as clearly and thoroughly as they are in this volume. As he did in Tomorrow's Cities, Tomorrow's Suburbs, the author has taken a clear-eyed and meticulous look at the latest data and f…

Equality Under and Before the Law
This article attempts to defend two claims – first, that there is at least one intelligible and coherent concept of juridical equality extant in the law. This concept, I argue, has three components and two aspects and is found in an interestingly diverse range of doctrinal contexts. The fact that it is well rooted in doctrine, and that it applies to law application rather than just law creation, sets it apart – in a virtuous way – from other avai…
The Possibility of Impartiality
This essay offers a general account of the idea of impartiality and examines the senses in which adjudication is and is not impartial. Against those who would derive an account of impartiality from more general moral or political theories, the essay shows that ordinary thought embodies a coherent and reasonably rich conception of impartiality, some of the principal features of which are also in play in adjudication. Against those who claim that i…

Equity and Planning For Local Services
How can the concept of equity be incorporated into local planning decisions? Five equity concepts are discussed here. Then a service analysis framework is described. Methods are explained for relating alternative equity concepts (especially equality, need, and demand, separately or in combinations) to the framework for analyzing the distribution of urban services. The approach recommended here is especially applicable to decisions about increment…
