Exclusion and Property Rules in the Law of Nuisance
This Article offers a theory of nuisance law based on information costs. Like trespass, much of the law of nuisance relies on a strategy of exclusion in which rights are defined using low-cost signals like boundary crossings that are only indirectly tied to particular uses. Nuisance law also supplements and fine-tunes this Blackstonian package of entitlements by means of a governance strategy, which relies on signals more directly tailored to par…

Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc.,' the Supreme Court stated the obvious-trial judges have a "gatekeeping role" 2 when it comes to scientific evidence.The Court's conclusion-that the Federal Rules of Evidence dispense with the "general acceptance" standard that previously dominated the field-is less obvious Still, the "reliability" standard announced in Daubert was nothing new.Rather, this standard reiterates the law as it then stood i…

Rethinking the New Deal Court
The story of the "switch in time" is among the most enduring chapters of our constitutional history. It is repeated every year in countless courses in government, history, and constitutional law at the high school, college, and graduate level. One of the great morality plays of American civics, it is a tale both celebratory and cautionary. Its plot is simple, there are good guys and bad guys, and the good guys prevail in the end. Although no comp…

Consent, Coercion, and Hard Choices
Many, including the author of this article, have quoted approvingly Hume’s criticism of the Lockean notion of tacit consent as a foundation for political obligation. Many have quoted the passage without comment, as though it constituted a self-explanatory and self-evidently sound refutation of such doctrines. This should not be the case, however, for the argument demands analysis, criticism and perhaps even rejection in part. This article begins …
Must We Obey? Necessity as a Ground of Obligation
Need, Necessity, and Political Obligation
In Law and Obedience, Professor Woozley denies that there is an obligation to obey the law just because it is the law. Professor Honoré disagrees. He does so, however, not by offering small criticisms of what he calls "the skeptical philosophy," but by giving us a vigorous and original argument for the more conventional, conformist view.

The Social System of the Modern Factory, the Strike
This article, part of the Yankee City Series, examines the social dynamics of a strike in a modern factory. It analyzes the strike not as an isolated incident but as a product of the existing social system within the factory and the larger community. The authors, using data collected in Yankee City (Newburyport, Massachusetts), explore the roles of various social groups involved in the strike, including management, union leadership, and rank-and-…
