S. Supreme Court 1980, Jan. 19 Died, Washington, D.C. Scope and Content Note The papers of William Orville Douglas (1898-1980) span the years 1801 to 1980, with the heaviest concentration of material dated between 1923 and 1975. Although the collection is divided into three parts, some topics and time periods are common to all parts. Part I, dating from 1920 to 1953, focuses primarily on Douglas's professional life. Part II forms the bulk of the collection, and although it covers the years 180l to 1980, the earliest Douglas manuscript is dated 19l6. Part III is confined primarily to Douglas's diary and his personal correspondence with other justices of the United States Supreme Court. The collection consists of a small group of family papers, several correspondence series, subject files, speeches and writings, Supreme Court files, financial papers, photographs, miscellany, and printed matter. Douglas's papers are as varied as his many interests and encompass the full scope of his life and career from his college days through his years of retirement from the Supreme Court. Following graduation from Whitman College, Douglas taught for a brief period at the high school in Yakima, Washington. After receiving a degree in law from Columbia University, he served on the faculties of Columbia and Yale law schools. At both law schools he was among a small group of professors who advocated an interdisciplinary rather than the traditional compartmentalized approach to the study of law. This innovative approach is reflected in his papers by two major projects. The first is the comprehensive study of the bankruptcy system and its effect on the social and economic structure of society begun in 1928 as part of a cooperative program between the Yale Law School and the Yale Institute of Human Relations. The study examined business failures in several cities and looked at court rules governing bankruptcy. In 1929 under the combined auspices of the Yale Law School, the Institute

    . A Short History of Hearsay Reform, with Particular Reference to Hoffman v. Palmer, Eddie Morgan and Jerry Frank Michael Ariens* "Few historians, however, hold themselves out as fictionists." Jerome Frank, The Place ofthe Expert in a Democratic Society 1 True, no man can be wholly apart from his fellows. But, if each of us is a promontory, yet the promontory reaches out beyond the social mainland to a point where others cannot intrude. ... It is a no-other-man's land, for others can't penetrate it, can't communicate with it. Jerome Frank, Judge Learned Hand1 Introduction On my summer vacation, I chanced upon the novel Foe by the South African writer 3 J.M. Coetzee. Foe is a modern reworking of Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. In this modern retelling, Coetzee presents the story of the relation of author and subject, not the story of the adventures of a shipwrecked Englishman. In Foe, the authorial voice is that of Susan Barton, a castaway who ended up on the same island as Cruso and Friday. She, Cruso and Friday are "rescued" and taken by ship to England. En route, Cruso dies. Once in London, Susan Barton takes her story of Cruso and Friday to Daniel Foe, and finds that his interest is more in the story of her life and less in the story of Cruso 's adventures. Foe, chased by creditors, flees his house, into which Barton and Friday move. Barton later leaves, searching for Foe, whom she finally tracks down. Confronting Foe, 4 she says, "I am not a story, Mr.

  • Why Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(B) Is Unconstitutional
    SYMPOSIUM ARTICLE TWOMBLY IN CONTEXT: WHY FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE 4(B) IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL E. Donald Elliott Abstract Rule 4(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure delegates to private parties state authority to compel a person to appear and answer civil charges in court without any preliminary state review or screening for reasonableness. This is argued to be unconstitutional as a unreasonable seizure of the person, a deprivation of private property without due process, and a standardless delegation of state power to a private party with a financial interest. The history of the writ of summons is reviewed. From the Founding until 1938, federal courts reviewed the grounds proposed for suit prior to service of a summons ordering someone to come to court to answer charges. It is argued that unless courts routinely award full economic costs after the fact to make someone whole who has been sued wrongfully, they must satisfy themselves in advance that there is a reasonable basis for suit before ordering the persons sued to appear and answer. Rule 4(b) is argued to be unconstitutional as (1) a seizure of the person and property of the defendant without any attempt by the state to verify that it is reasonable to do so; (2) an unconstitutional deprivation of property without due process of law; (3) an unconstitutional delegation of state power to issue a court order to a private party with a financial interest, and (4) an unconstitutional repeal of a statute providing for judicial control over process without following constitutionally required procedures.

  • Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform
    Revisiting and Confronting the Federal Judiciary Capacity “Crisis”: Charting a Path for Federal Judiciary Reform Peter S. Menell* and Ryan Vacca** The modern federal judiciary was established well over a century ago by the Judiciary Act of 1891. Over the next seventy years, the structure and core functioning of the judiciary largely remained unchanged apart from gradual increases in judicial slots. By the mid- 1960s, jurists, scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers had voiced grave concerns about the capacity of the federal system to function effectively in the face of ever-increasing caseloads. Heeding calls for reform, in 1972 Congress charged a commission chaired by Senator Roman Hruska to study the functioning of the federal courts and recommend reforms. After extensive study, the Hruska Commission concluded that “[n]o part of the federal judicial system has borne the brunt of . increased demands [to protect individual rights and basic liberties and resolve difficult issues affecting the financial structure and commercial life of the nation] more than the courts of appeals.”1 The Commission called attention to the Supreme Court’s capacity constraints and the risks to the body of national law posed by the growing number of circuit conflicts.

  • Did Learned Hand Get It Wrong?: the Questionable Patent Forfeiture Rule Of
    Dmitry Karshtedt – Metallizing paper Did Learned Hand Get It Wrong?: The Questionable Patent Forfeiture Rule of Metallizing Engineering Co. v. Kenyon Bearing & Auto Parts Co. Dmitry Karshtedt Abstract This article critiques the rule of Metallizing Engineering, a 1946 Second Circuit opinion penned by Judge Learned Hand, holding that one who competitively exploits a secret invention at a time that precedes the filing of a patent application on that invention by a year or longer forfeits the right to the patent. The article demonstrates that this patent forfeiture rule is based on a serious misreading of precedent and is not supported by the Patent Act. In addition, the outcome of Metallizing is inequitable given the facts of the case, which are gleaned from the district court opinion and analyzed in detail in the article. The article shows that, in spite of these problems, other appellate courts, including the Federal Circuit, have adopted the rule in seeming deference to Judge Hand and without serious analysis. More importantly, Judge Hand‟s stated policy rationales for the rule, encouragement of prompt disclosure of patentable inventions and prevention of a de facto extension of a patent monopoly term, are highly questionable in view of modern patent law scholarship. The article argues that the former rationale is weak due to failures in the disclosure function of patents, and that maintaining the Metallizing rule for reasons of encouraging disclosure may contribute to undesirable overpatenting. As for the “extension of monopoly” rationale, it is clear that trade secret protection that precedes patenting does not provide a patent owner with any kind of a legal monopoly.
