  • Tribute to Patricia Wald
    International Criminal Law Review International Criminal Law Review 11 (2011) 375–381 brill.nl/icla Tribute to Patricia Wald Kelly Askin Senior Legal Offi cer, Open Society Justice Initiative, Open Society Foundations, USA We are gathered here today to honour a true legend in the law, a woman who has made an immeasurable contribution to both domestic and international law and practice. It is an honour to be asked to provide a tribute to Judge Patricia Wald, a woman I consider a mentor, a role model, and a very dear friend. Here, I will merely highlight a few of the contributions she has made over her lifetime to the law and to humanity, and briefl y explore the unique path that took a young girl from a poor, working class family to ultimately sit on two of the highest courts in the world. Patricia McGowan grew up in a manufacturing town in north-western Con- nect icut. She never knew her father, and was an only child raised by a single mother in the 1930s. She grew up in an extended family made up largely of fac- tory workers. No one in her family had ever been college, but her relatives must have recognised Pat’s genius early on. Th ey supported her ambitions to forge a better life for herself and for others. Th e only lawyer she had met as a child was a classmate’s father, a local judge. She’d heard rumours that there was actually a female lawyer over in Bridgeport, Connecticut, but she never met her.

  • The Problematic Legacy of Cardozo
    Oregon Law Review Winter 2000 - Volume 79, Number 4 (Cite as: 79 Or. L. Rev. 1033) DAN SIMON* The Double-Consciousness of Judging: The Problematic Legacy of Cardozo Copyright © 2000, University of Oregon; Dan Simon INTRODUCTION There is a growing awareness in legal scholarship that a crisis of sorts pervades the legal field. In the now famous The Lost Lawyer, Dean Anthony Kronman has identified an adverse transformation of the character of the legal profession. n1 Professor Mary Anne Glendon has put forth a critique of the rights-based rhetoric that predominates legal discourse. n2 Professor Steven Smith has both broadened and deepened these discouraging observations by suggesting that the legal community is suffering from a crisis of faith. As Smith astutely points out, there is a fundamental problem with the integrity of legal discourse in that legal actors operate in a state of discordance between their beliefs and practices. Participants in this discourse have come to take for granted that the reasons they present in support of their positions are quite distinct from the "real reasons" that underlie [*1034] them. n3 Smith coined this duplicity a "schizophrenic condition," suggesting that it is a "sign of something deeply wrong in modern legal thought." n4 This paper explores the possibility that judicial reasoning might be one of the causes of this state of duplicity. This proposition is explored through an analysis of the work of Benjamin Nathan Cardozo, an exemplary and distinguished inhabitant of the American judicial pantheon. I will briefly review recent scholarship that champions his legacy as the product of renaissance-like qualities: encompassing brilliant judicial performance and insightful writing about judging.

Bogus* This Article argues for a paradigm shift in modern antitrust policy. Rather than being concerned exclusively with consumer welfare, antitrust law should also be concerned with consolidated corporate power. Regulators and courts should con- sider the social and political, as well as the economic, consequences of corporate mergers. The vision that antitrust must be a key tool for limiting consolidated cor- porate power has a venerable legacy, extending back to the origins of antitrust law in early seventeenth century England, running throughout American history, and influencing the enactment of U.S.

  • The Catalyst That Opened Courthouse Doors for Women on the Federal Bench
    THE NINETEENTH AMENDMENT: THE CATALYST THAT OPENED COURTHOUSE DOORS FOR WOMEN ON THE FEDERAL BENCH JUDGE ANN CLAIRE WILLIAMS (RET.)† I was incredibly honored and blessed to serve as a federal judge for nearly thirty-three years, first on the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois and next on the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. The 100th anniversary of the Nineteenth Amendment is especially meaningful to me because it not only opened the voting booth to women, it opened the courthouse doors for women to become federal judges. No woman had served as a federal judge prior to the Nineteenth Amendment. Indeed, few women judges sat on any court before it was ratified. No woman had been elected judge before the Nineteenth Amendment passed, and there were certainly no Article III lifetime, presidentially appointed women federal judges. The Nineteenth Amendment changed that. As Judge Florence E. Allen later reflected, “With the winning of the vote women gained the right . to assume their part in public and professional life.”1 Allen embraced that right in full. In 1906, thirteen years before the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Allen was the music critic for the Cleveland Plain Dealer and a teacher at a school for girls.2 Never one to be idle, she also took graduate courses and obtained a Master of Arts degree in Political Science.3 A professor asked her, “Why don’t you study law?”, which she said “came like Copyright © 2020 Judge Ann Claire Williams.
