This essay has benefitted from the contributions of many people-too many to thank individually here. But two must be mentioned. The first is Judge Brett Kavanaugh whose tremendous course on National Security and Foreign Affairs is the foundation for so much of my understanding of the law of nature and nations, and for whom this Article was initially prepared as a final paper. The idea for this Article came from him; I merely filled in the citations. The second individual is Owen Fiss, a man deserving of praise beyond measure. His contributions, large and small, to me personally and to the law generally, are too numerous to recount. This Article is dedicated to him. Finally, I wish to thank the editors of the Yale Journal of InternationalLaw, among them Deborah Francois, Jee Young Kim, Alisa Shekhtman, Will Smiley, and most especially Allison Day and Charles Dameron, for their tireless efforts and infinite understanding. 284 THE YALE JOURNAL OF INTERNATIONAL LAW [Vol. 39: 283 [Al doubts . respecting the meaning of a treaty ... are to be heard and decided in the Courts of Justice having cognizance of the causes in which they arise, and whose duty it is to determine them according to the rules and maxims establishedby the laws of nationsfor the interpretationof treaties. John Jay, Draft Letter to the States to Accompany the Resolutions Passed by the Continental Congress on March 21, 1787. Agreed to Unanimously, April 13, 1787.1 Gov. Randolph observed the difficulty in establishing the powers of the judiciary--the object however at present is to establish this principle, to wit, the security of foreigners where treaties are in their favor . Agreed to unanimously. Edmund Randolph, Records of the Federal Convention, June 13, 1787.2 I. INTRODUCTION In Medellin v. Texas, a high profile case of the U.S. Supreme Court's 2008 Term, Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Breyer engaged in a sharp exchange over the proper approach to treaty interpretation. Medellin raised the question of whether decisions by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) are "non-self-executing"-that is, whether they only become federal law if Congress passes a statute "executing" them. 4 The Court was divided. Six Justices held that judgments by the ICJ do in fact require further action by Congress before they become law. Chief Justice Roberts, writing for the Court, argued that when it comes to treaties, the text governs, 5 and the text and structure of the ICJ treaty anticipated future legislative action because it required only that parties to the ICJ proceeding "undertake[] to comply" with the ICJ's decision. Justice Stevens, concurring in the judgment, agreed: "in my view, the words 'undertakes to comply'- while not the model of either a self-executing or a non-self-executing commitment-are most naturally read as a promise to take additional steps to enforce ICJ judgments."7 In his dissent, Justice Breyer argued that the majority 1. 4 SECRET JOURNALS OF THE ACTS AND PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS: FROM THE FIRST MEETING THEREOF TO THE DISSOLUTION OF THE CONFEDERATION, BY THE ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES 329, 331-32 (Thomas B.

Defending the majority's reliance on the text of the treaty, Chief Justice Roberts cited two opinions by Chief Justice Marshall, though only for the proposition that "[t]he interpretive approach employed by the Court today-resorting to the text-is hardly novel."' 0 Justice Breyer responded with his own account of the history. It is "difficult to reconcile the majority's holdings with the workable Constitution that the Founders envisaged," " he wrote. Had Chief Justice Marshall considered the question in Medellin, he would have asked "[d]oes . [the] treaty provision address the 'Judicial' Branch rather than the 'Political Branches' of Government,"' 2 not searched for an express statement about self- execution "the text cannot [possibly] contain." 3 Medellin drew a wave of criticism, much of it also grounded in history. Two distinct strands of criticism arose. First, many scholars argued that the majority's holding could not be "reconciled with any identifiable version of originalism" because it broke with the original understanding of self-execution in the Supremacy Clause, which these scholars contend mandates a strong interpretive presumption that all treaties are self-executing.14 A second strand criticized the Court's textualism as too wooden and inflexible to account for the unique needs of modem treaty-making.' 5 Some scholars called Medellin's textualist approach a "new paradigm"1 6 and a "normalization" of treaty 8.

  • Contracts Then and Now: an Appreciation of Friedrich Kessler
    Contracts Then and Now: An Appreciation of Friedrich Kessler George L. Prieste Succeeding generations of Contracts scholars too young to have attended Friedrich Kessler's Contracts course' can only imagine its content from Fritz's powerful writings and from his enduring casebook. 2 The modem Contracts course as taught today, however, is surely different. Today, Contracts is a course addressing the regulation of private transactions in which our courts, as self-conscious social engineers, are evaluated in terms of their ability to define rules that optimally assign risks and informational burdens in order to broadly enhance societal welfare. There is little question today that the role of courts in resolving contract disputes is to regulate underlying behavior and to protect parties in unequal bargaining positions. Courts must also define what are called "default" rules-rules to control where the parties' meaning or intent is unclear-with attention to problems of monopoly or economic power, differential informational advantages, and relative risk-bearing ability.' These are not unimportant issues to a modem society, and the concepts and principles of modem Contracts are necessary implements in every lawyer's tool chest. Nevertheless, as a course in applied regulation, Contracts today is not always a class favorite and, to many, lacks the drama and apparent relevance of more popular Yale Law School courses, such as those on discrimination, free speech, or constitutional interpretation. The Contracts course taught by Fritz Kessler, in contrast, was hardly lacking in drama or relevance. Kessler saw the various doctrines of contract law and the principle of freedom of contract as intimately tied to the great issues of the modem world: the apparent decline of modem capitalism; the threatened capture of democracy by industrial interests; and the exploitation t John M.

THE WAITE COURT AT THE BAR OF HISTORY DONALD GRIER STEPHENSON, JR.t INTRODUCTION "I have at last finished the opinion," Chief Justice Waite wrote to Bancroft Davis, the Court's Reporter of Decisions, on March 5, 1888. One suspects that Waite audibly exhaled as he penned that sentence.2 His reference was to the Telephone Cases,3 arguably the most significant patent litigation in the late nineteenth century, at least in terms of its ef- fects on the development of the telecommunications industry in the United States. Waite had been at work on his opinion for months, and understandably so. 4 Arguments in the cases had been heard over twelve days in January and February 1887. 5 The bench had split four to three over these eight challenges in circuit courts to Alexander Graham Bell's 1876 patent for the telephone. 6 A description of each of the patent dis- putes, Waite's opinion sustaining the patent, and Justice Bradley's much shorter dissent, all consumed more than five hundred pages-the entirety of volume 126 of the United States Reports.7 Waite's effort had been a burden, even for a Chief Justice accustomed to overwork.
