Rediscovering Williston Mark L. Movsesian* Abstract This Article is an intellectualhistory of classicalcontracts scholar Samuel Williston. Professor Movsesian argues that the conventional account of Williston's jurisprudencepresents an incomplete and distortedpicture. While much of Williston 's work can strike a contemporary readeras arid and conceptual, there are strong elements ofpragmatismas well. Williston insists that doctrine be justified in terms of real-world consequences, maintains that rules can have only presumptive force, and offers institutionalexplanations forjudicial restraint. As a result, his scholarship shares more in common with today's new formalism than commonly supposed. Even the undertheorizedquality of Williston 's scholarship-to contemporary readers, the least appealing aspect of his work-makes a certain amount of sense, given his goals and intended audience. -

Others, such as pronoun choice, are morally charged. My dissertation offers an analysis of a category of morally charged social norms that I call political etiquette. I propose that we understand political etiquette as a system of conventions whereby we assure members of vulnerable groups that they can expect treatment in accordance with their rightful status. My account partially vindicates political etiquette’s claim to moral force, but also sheds light on its limitations. I argue that some of these limitations can be ameliorated through widespread acceptance of my interpretation of political etiquette.

The Massachusetts Constitution—The Last Thirty Years
WILKINS_LEAD_MACRO 6/6/2011 9:16 PM The Massachusetts Constitution—The Last Thirty Years Herbert P. Wilkins1 The Constitution of the Commonwealth has never been more significant for the rights of individuals than in the past thirty years. Although the greater impact has been on the rights of criminal defendants, the Constitution’s influence on civil relationships has been substantial, as indicated most particularly by Goodridge v. Department of Public Health2 on the right to same-sex marriage. In 1980, this law review published my article comparing the treatment of similar provisions of the Federal Constitution and the State Constitution.3 My current effort is, in a sense, an updating of the 1980 article. Before 1980, there were only a handful of cases that foretold the impending impact of the Supreme Judicial Court’s independent treatment of provisions in the State Constitution that had parallels in the Federal Constitution. For example, Commonwealth v. Soares4 barred racial discrimination in the use of peremptory challenges to prospective jurors well before the Supreme Court did so in Batson v. Kentucky.5 As will be seen, many Massachusetts cases rejected positions then taken by the Supreme Court, and others reached results unlikely to be acceptable to it. Thus, this article, unlike the 1980 article, identifies many instances in which the Constitution of the Commonwealth, particularly its Declaration of Rights, dictated positions not established under the Federal Constitution. The most that I could say in the 1980 article was that In recent years, the Supreme Judicial Court has exercised the option to impose higher state constitutional standards in some instances and, in many other 1. -

AN INFORMAL HISTORY OF HOW LAW SCHOOLS EVALUATE STUDENTS, WITH A PREDICTABLE EMPHASIS ON LAW SCHOOL FINAL EXAMS Steve Sheppard* Finalexams play on a law student 's world like some weirdly orbitingmoon. They are always in sight; but while they're at a distance, they serve merely to create the tensions which swell daily like tides - to read to keep pace, to understand As exams draw close, however,... theirgravitational force startsto shake the whole place to pieces.' American law schools currently employ one essential, formal method of student evaluation - course-end examinations.2 While informal evaluation, particularly observation of student oral class performances, does occur, the exams are usually the exclusive method by which a record of student performance is created. -

PERILLO* In 1964 the Yale Law Journal published a bibliography of Professor Arthur Corbin's publications.' The bibliography quotes a letter from Arthur Corbin to a Yale Law Journal editor2 in which Corbin states that he had written a "'one man revision' of the first Restatement of Contracts, which he sent in hand-written form to Judge Herbert Goodrich, then Director of the American Law Institute. Corbin said that Judge Goodrich "had each such installment typewritten and multigraphed for the use by the revision reporter and his committee and perhaps by others." 3 Diligent search by law librarians has failed to locate a copy of this revision of the Restatement by Corbin in any law library. -
