  • 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.

  • FOSTERING the Rule of Law President’S Message
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT FOSTERING THE Rule OF Law President’s Message The year 2018 was one of transition for the New York Bar Foundation as the three-year tenure of John Gross, immediate past president, came to successful conclusion with a dramatic increase in the resources and visibility of the foundation; a new president of the board of directors, Lesley Rosenthal, was welcomed; and an exciting new strategic plan was adopted, with a theme of fostering the rule of law. The New York Bar Foundation improves access to justice and enhances public understand- ing of the law all around the state. In 2018 we provided more than $700,000 in seed grants to innovative legal projects helping those in need. Recently, our grants have: • Helped a disabled veteran in Syracuse launch a new small business, • Resettled a Syrian refugee family in the Buffalo area, • Assisted a teenager from Geneva, NY, with school attendance problems related to mental illness, get the EAP she needed to continue her education, • Aided a Brooklyn grandmother in restructuring her mortgage to avoid foreclosure and homelessness for herself and the grandchildren she’s raising. In partnership with the sections of the New York State Bar Association and the Chief Judge of the State of New York, we also fund scholar- ships for worthy up-and-coming law students, including those from underprivileged or diverse backgrounds, and those who are committed to public interest work. Beyond our regular activities, we also respond with urgency to crises in the moment, raising and distributing money to assist with legal needs such as restoring housing and benefits to those hit by a hurricane or providing representation to migrant children separated from their parents.
