  • Rights As Signals
    RIGHTS AS SIGNALS DANIEL A. FARBER* ABSTRACT Because rights operate as trumps over normal governmental interests, they have an inherent cost. Consequently, by entrenching protection for human rights, govern- ments can signal a willingness to give up power in the short term to obtain long- term benefits. Investors can infer from this that the government has a low discount rate and is less likely to pose a threat of expropriation. Similarly, when courts vig- orously enforce human rights, they dramatize their judicial independence, which is valuable to investors, who themselves may have no interest in human rights. Thus, human rights enforcement may help encourage investment and thereby indirectly foster economic growth. I. INTRODUCTION CAN developing countries afford human rights and the rule of law? Perhaps not, according to Richard Posner. Posner advises poorer countries against "creating a first-class judiciary or an extensive system of civil liberties."' Although he is by no means opposed to judicial independence and human rights, he argues that they should largely await economic growth.2 From this point of view, the dramatic recent expansion of constitutionalism is a bit perplexing, if not a mistake. Posner's argument can be challenged on several grounds. Although he minimizes the importance of an independent judiciary to development,' the current consensus among economists is apparently to the contrary.'

  • Valuing Modern Contract Scholarship
    Responses Valuing Modern Contract Scholarship Ian Ayrest I. INTRODUCTION Eric Posner has written a thoughtful and provocative indictment of the modem economic analysis of contracts. His essay makes two central claims1 about the failings of scholars "to produce an 'economic theory.' Specifically, Posner claims that the economic approach "does not explain the current system of contract law" and that it does not "provide a solid basis for criticizing and reforming contract law."2 In other words, Posner claims that modem scholarship fails as either a descriptive or a normative theory, in that it fails to give an account of what current law is or what efficient law should be. The descriptive criticism deserves only brief comment. Although he claims that modem scholarship has failed to achieve "what its proponents set out as the measure of success, ' 3 Posner sadly distorts reality by claiming that the leading scholars have been engaged in an attempt to use economic theory to predict the content of current legal rules. This is a straw man. Of course, decades ago this was the project of Richard Posner. 4 But the thought that efficiency analysis would provide a mechanism to predict the details of current doctrine is a serious misreading of the aims of modem scholarship. t William K.

J.D. or LL.B. as the Basic Law Degree? Marcus Schoenfeld* L EGAL EDUCATION IN THE United States is still evolving. In the past few decades the law schools have all but eliminated other means than law school study as preparation for the prac- tice of law. But, problems remain, especially in the area of content of the already crowded three-year day or four-year evening curricula, and in the area of graduate study. Compared to these major issues, the question of whether the first degree in law should be called an "LL.B." or a "J.D." seems trifling. Yet this is a very current question; the Special Committee on Graduate Study of the Association of American Law Schools is expected to report on this during the 1963 Annual Meeting. It is also ancient history, since "J.D.

THE INFLUENCE OF Two DECADES OF CONTRACT LAW SCHOLARSHIP ON JUDICIAL RULINGS: AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS Gregory Scott Crespi* I. INTRODUCTION VER the last two decades, a substantial and diverse body of con- tract law scholarship has been produced. Some of this work lim- its itself to applying traditional doctrinal categories and analytical approaches to new problems, while some also engages in eco- nomic analysis of various legal regimes, and some is empirical as well as analytical in nature. Much of this work is of a rather theoretical and ab- stract character. Consequently, one wonders whether this literature has had any discernable impact upon judicial practice, particularly in light of the declarations made by both prominent jurists and leading practitioners that most current legal scholarship has very limited relevance for attor- neys and judges,' and given recent studies that suggest declining rates of 2 citation of law review articles in judicial opinions.

INTRODUCrION International legal scholarship has long suffered from too much normative theorizing and too little positive analysis about how the international legal system actually works. This inattention to the empirical and descriptive has alienated international legal scholars from their colleagues in political science departments and lent much of international law scholarship an utopian air. Whatever the historical source of this state of affairs, however, it is rapidly fading. A new generation of scholars, steeped in a variety of social scientific methodologies, has turned its sights on international law and is actively employing positive theories of state behavior to enhance legal analyses. These scholars have also begun to undertake empirical studies in an effort to provide support for their theoretical claims.

Eric A. Posner1 Abstract: Law and economics has failed to produce plausible descriptive theories of contract doctrines. This paper documents these failures and suggests that they are due to a methodological problem involving the concept of transaction costs. If transaction costs refer to writing or information costs, then rational individuals would agree to complex contracts that are not in fact observed, and contract law would, for the most part, have no other function than that of specifically enforcing contracts.

  • The Origin of Ll.M. Programs: a Case Study of the University of Pennsylvania Law School
    THE ORIGIN OF LL.M. PROGRAMS: A CASE STUDY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA LAW SCHOOL MATTHEW S. PARKER* ABSTRACT Graduate legal education programs, the most common of which is the Legum Magister or LL.M., have come under increasing criticism in recent years in the United States. Many observers have accused law schools of offering these degrees as a means of raising revenue, and maintain that they provide no real value to graduates obtaining the degree as they are not respected in the market for legal services. Despite these negative appraisals, the number, size and types of these programs have continued to grow rapidly at American law schools across institutions of widely varying sizes and reputation. While much has been written on the recent development and current state of graduate law programs, almost nothing has been written on how and why these programs came into existence, de- spite the fact that a number of U.S. law schools claim that their pro- grams were founded well over a century ago. As LL.M. programs continue to blossom and law schools attempt to address the rising tide of criticism aimed at them, law faculty and administrators would be well advised to examine the origin and history of these degrees. Is it possible that law schools have been hoodwinking in- nocent lawyers into getting a useless degree for decades? Who were these degrees originally intended for and who ultimately chose to * Matthew Parker was Associate Dean for Graduate Programs and Executive Director of Legal Education Programs at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

  • Book Review Rationalism and Revisionism in International Law
    BOOK REVIEW RATIONALISM AND REVISIONISM IN INTERNATIONAL LAW THE LIMITS OF INTERNATIONAL LAW. By Jack L. Goldsmith and Eric A. Posner. New York: Oxford University Press. 2005. Pp. 262. $29.95. Reviewed by Oona A. Hathaway*and Ariel N. Lavinbuk** INTRODUCTION International law has moved from the periphery to the center of public debate in the course of only a few short years. The ever- quickening globalization of politics, culture, and economics has prompted new efforts to find global solutions to global problems. In- ternational law now touches an astonishing array of activities. It gov- erns everything from the goods and services that cross state borders and the greenhouse gases that industries and consumers produce, to the circumstances that justify intervention in humanitarian disasters and the treatment afforded suspected terrorists. Of increasingly urgent concern, then, is whether all of this law actually makes much of a difference. Legal scholars have traditionally argued that it does. They have, for the most part, portrayed international law as a powerful and much-needed external limit on states' pursuit of their own short-term interests. Over the last half decade, however, Professors Jack Gold- smith and Eric Posner have aspired to revolutionize policymaking and scholarship by arguing precisely the opposite - an argument now pre- sented fully in The Limits of InternationalLaw. In their view, interna- tional law does not check self-interest but instead "emerges from states acting rationally to maximize their interests, given their perceptions of the interests of other states and the distribution of state power" (p. 3). * Associate Professor of Law, Yale Law School; Carnegie Scholar 2004.
