J. Am. Leg. Studies 8(2) (2019), DOI: 10.2478/bjals-2019-0016 Law and Religion in Plymouth Colony Scott Douglas Gerber* ABSTRACT 2020 marks the 400th anniversary of the planting of Plymouth Colony. Although the literature about Plymouth is voluminous, the discussion about law and religion has been inappropriately superficial to date. This article addresses the Pilgrims’ conception of law on matters of religion and the new insights into the Pilgrims’ story that can be ascertained by focusing on law. “Law” has been defined in many different ways by many different people throughout history. Aristotle, Cicero, Thomas Aquinas, and other proponents of natural law argued that law is the exercise of reason to deduce binding rules of moral behavior from nature’s or God’s creation. The renowned English positivist John Austin, in contrast, maintained that law is the command of the sovereign. To Karl von Savigny and other proponents of the so-called historical school, law is the unconscious embodiment of the common will of the people. To the philosophical school, law is the expression of idealized ethical custom. The dominant contemporary view seems to be that law is the reflection of social, political, and economic interests. For the Pilgrims of Plymouth Colony, law was both the memorialization of their commitment to the Word of God and an instrument for exercising social control so as to effectuate that commitment. The Pilgrims, of course, used law to regulate the more mundane aspects of life as well. Indeed, quantitatively speaking, more laws were enacted by the Pilgrims that addressed the day-to-day activities of life in Plymouth Colony than memorialized the Pilgrims’ commitment to eternal glory in the afterlife, but the latter was unquestionably more important, qualitatively speaking, than the former. In the oft-quoted words of a young William Bradford, “to keep a good conscience, and walk in such a way as God has prescribed in his Word, is a thing which I must prefer before you all, and above life itself.” KEYWORDS Plymouth Colony, law, religion, colonial America

  • Remarks on Henry Friendly
    REMARKS ON HENRY FRIENDLY ON THE AWARD OF THE HENRY FRIENDLY MEDAL TO JUSTICE SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR Pierre N. Leval † RESIDENT RAMO CALLED ME a couple of days ago with a problem. Young people today (and this includes young- sters up to the age of 50) apparently do not know who Henry Friendly was or why the American Law Institute Pawards a medal in his name. Would I address those questions to- night? At first I was astonished by Roberta’s proposition. Friendly was revered as a god in the federal courts from 1958 to his death in 1986. In every area of the law on which he wrote, during a quarter century on the Second Circuit, his were the seminal and clarifying opinions to which everyone looked as providing and explaining the standards. Most of us who earn our keep by judging can expect to be de- servedly forgotten within weeks after we kick the bucket or hang up the robe and move to Florida. But for one whose judgments played † Pierre Leval is a Judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. He delivered these remarks on October 20, 2011, at a dinner of the Council of the American Law Insti- tute. Copyright © 2012 Pierre N. Leval. 15 GREEN BAG 2D 257 Pierre N. Leval such a huge role, it is quite surprising – and depressing – that the memory of him has so rapidly faded. Later, a brief exploration why this might be so. I begin by recounting, for any who don’t know, what some pur- ple-robed eminences of the law have said about Friendly.

ARTICLE BILLS OF ATTAINDER Matthew Steilen* ABSTRACT What are bills of attainder? The traditional view is that bills of attainder are legislation that punishes an individual without judicial process. The Bill of Attainder Clause in Article I, Section 9 prohibits the Congress from passing such bills. But what about the President? The traditional view would seem to rule out application of the Clause to the President (acting without Congress) and to executive agencies, since neither passes bills. This Article aims to bring historical evidence to bear on the question of the scope of the Bill of Attainder Clause. The argument of the Article is that bills of attainder are best understood as a summary form of legal process, rather than a legislative act. This argument is based on a detailed historical reconstruction of English and early American practices, beginning with a study of the medieval Parliament rolls, year books, and other late medieval English texts, and early modern parliamentary diaries and journals covering the attainders of Elizabeth Barton under Henry VIII and Thomas Wentworth, earl of Strafford, under Charles I.

  • Temporary Officers
    2019] 753 TEMPORARY OFFICERS James A. Heilpern* INTRODUCTION In Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission,1 the Supreme Court held that an administrative law judge in the Securities and Exchange Com- mission (“SEC”) qualifies as an “Officer of the United States” under the Ap- pointments Clause of the Constitution.2 The Appointments Clause estab- lishes as a default rule that all “Officers of the United States” are to be nom- inated by the President “by and with the Advice and Consent of the Senate.”3 There are only two exceptions to this rule: (1) Officers “whose Appointments are . otherwise provided for” in the Constitution, such as the President, Vice President, and Congressional Officers;4 and (2) “inferior Officers” if— and only if—Congress has affirmatively “vest[ed]” their appointment “in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments.”5 Alt- hough Congress had specifically authorized the Commission—the head of the SEC—to appoint administrative law judges (“ALJs”),6 all parties to the case agreed that the ALJs in question were actually selected by “[o]ther staff members, rather than the Commission proper.”7 As such, the “sole question [for the Court to decide was] whether the [SEC]’s ALJs are ‘Officers of the United States’ or simply employees of the Federal Government.”8 * James A. Heilpern (J.D. 2015) is a Research Fellow at the J. Reuben Clark Law School at Brigham Young University. He would like to express gratitude to the C. Boyden Gray Center for the Study of the Administrative State at the Antonin Scalia Law School at George Mason University and the George Mason Law Review for the generous stipend and feedback.

Book Reviews AVIATION LAW by Andreas F. Lowenfeld. New York: Matthew Bender & Co., 1981 Edition. pp. 1411. In 1972, Andreas Lowenfeld published the first edition of AVIATION LAW.' In the introduction to that book, Professor Lowenfeld related the challenge presented by Judge Henry Friendly: Some years ago, Judge Henry Friendly, who made his career in large part as a brilliant and imaginative general counsel for Pan American World Airways, reviewed an earlier attempt to collect materials on aviation law by asking whether it made sense to treat this subject at all. "In order to make out a case for separate treatment," he wrote, "it must be shown that the heads of a given subject can be examined in a more illuminating fashion with reference to each other than with references to other branches of law." With respect to the book under review, Judge Friendly's answer was "a resounding no."' Professor Lowenfeld went on to accept the challenge and in the seven chapters of the first edition of AVIATION LAW presented the reader with an overview of the economic, regulatory, tort, and social considerations that have grown up in the law relating to the aviation industry.
