In Defense of Tribal Sovereign Immunity |
95 Harvard Law Review 1058 (March, 1982) |

Generalizing the Trial Model of Procedural Due Process: a New Basis for the Right to Treatment |
17 Harvard Civil Rights-Civil Liberties Law Review 61 (Spring, 1982) |
During the two decades of its existence, the right to treatment has been, to a large extent, a right in search of a rationale. The concept that an individual who has been involuntarily committed to a mental hospital has a right to receive treatment appeals to the judiciary's underlying sense of fairness. Certainly, the fact situations from which... |

Applying the International Law of Sovereign Immunity to the States of the Union |
