THE DISCRIMINATION INHERENT IN AMERICA'S DRUG WAR: HIDDEN RACISM REVEALED BY EXAMINING THE HYSTERIA OVER CRACK |
54 Alabama Law Review 665 (Winter 2003) |
A significant, but decreasing, percentage of Americans believe the War on Drugs is justified, believing that the benefits outweigh the costs.

THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF CRITIQUE |
57 University of Miami Law Review 475 (April, 2003) |
A decade and a half ago, I experienced my proverbial fifteen minutes of fame when Some Realism About Critical Legal Studies appeared in these pages. That certainly wasn't the plan. In much the same sense that all politics is local, all legal scholarship is surely local as well, and in its conception Some Realism was as local as could be. Written... |

THE FÜHRER PRINCIPLE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT |
21 Penn State International Law Review 509 (Spring 2003) |
I offer here an extended Nietzschean joke: the necessity of error in the constitution of individual authority and communal power. Communities--the nation-state, religious communities, terrorist organizations--are arranged through a cultivation of error: mistaking causes for effects, assuming a false causality, creating an imagined causality, and... |

THE OMEN IN NOMEN: AN EXEMPLARY DICTIONARY OF LEGAL NAMES |
24 Cardozo Law Review 1309 (March 1, 2003) |
The realization of the significance of legal names dawns slowly and somewhat incidentally. When first studying common law, it seemed a curiosity that the fifteenth century author and judge who wrote the foundational three volume treatise on the intricacies of property law, Tenures, was named Littleton, and that the name meant small enclosure or... |

The decisions in Bush v. Palm Beach County Canvassing Board (Bush I) and Bush v.

While the doctrinal value of the Bush decisions is certainly important, the Bush decisions are far more valuable for their... |

As a child, I learned in school about the Alamo and of the courageous men who fought to their death against the overwhelming forces of the Mexican Army.
