The Society publishes a Quarterly newsletter, distributed to its membership, which contains short works on the Court's history and articles detailing the Society's programs and operations. In addition, the Society began publishing an annual collection ofscholarly articles on the Court's history entitled the Yearbook in 1976 which was renamed the Journal ofSupreme Court History in 1990. The Society initiated the Documentary History ofthe Supreme Court ofthe United States, 1789-1800in 1977 with a matching grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). The Supreme Court became a co-sponsor in 1979. Since that time, the Project has completed four ofits expected eight volumes, with a fifth volume to be published in 1994. The Society also co-publishes Equal Justice Under Law, a 165-page illustrated history ofthe Court, in cooperation with the National Geographic Society. ltco-sponsored in 1986 the 300-page Illustrated History of the Supreme Court ofthe United States.

  • New York University Law Review
    NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW REVIEW VOLUME 86 JUNE 2011 NUMBER 3 MADISON LECTURE LIVING OUR TRADITIONS THE HONORABLE ROBERT H. HENRY* In the annual James Madison Lecture, Robert Henry, former Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, explores Justice John Marshall Harlan H's notable dissent in Poe v. Ullman. President Henry carefully examines Justice Harlan's method of constitutional interpretation. Refusing to adopt a "literalistic"reading of the Constitution and instead looking to the "history and purposes" of a particularconstitutional provision, Justice Harlan's approach serves as a source of both flexibility and restraint. Of particular importance is Justice Harlan's recognition of the role that "living" traditions play in supplying meaning to the concept of due process of law. What emerges from this probing review of Justice Harlan's Poe dissent is a moderate and thoughtful response to originalism. All new laws, though penned with the greatest technical skill, and passed on the fullest and most mature deliberation, are considered as more or less obscure and equivocal, until their meaning be liqui- dated and ascertained by a series of particular discussions and adjudications. -THE FEDERALIST No. 37 (James Madison)' * Copyright © 2011 by Robert H. Henry, President and CEO, Oklahoma City University. Formerly, Chief Judge, United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. An earlier version of this text was delivered as the James Madison Lecture at the New York University School of Law on October 12, 2010.

Gaffney: The Importance of Dissent and the Imperative of Judicial Civility THE IMPORTANCE OF DISSENT AND THE IMPERATIVE OF JUDICIAL CIVILITY EDWARD McGLYNN GAFFNEY, JR.* A dissent in a court of last resort is an appeal to the brooding spirit of the law, to the intelligence of a future day, when a later decision may possibly correct the errorinto which the dissentingjudge believes the court to have been betrayed... Independence does not mean cantankerousness and ajudge may be a strongjudge without being an impossibleperson. Nothing is more distressing on any bench than the exhibition of a captious, impatient, querulous spirit.' Charles Evans Hughes I.

Cobb and the Law of Negro Slavery Paul Finkelman* From the Revolution until the Civil War Southern intellectu- als, professionals, and politicians developed and articulated elabo- rate defenses of slavery. The most significant proslavery legal scholar was Thomas R.R. Cobb, a Georgia attorney, law professor and one-time reporter for the Georgia Supreme Court. His trea- tise, An Inquiry into the Law of Negro Slavery in the United States of America,' profoundly illustrates the way antebellum Southern lawyers and judges used their learning and talents to support slavery. Proslavery advocates, such as Cobb, emphatically insisted on the justice and morality-the essential rightness-of slavery. Cobb believed that racially based slavery was a prerequisite for a truly "republican equality"2 because only in such a system were all whites equal in status, regardless of their wealth, property, or sta- tion in life.

  • Tony Abbott's 'Private Dinner' with Barack Obama Actually a Lunch Attended by Dozens February 1, 2016
    Tony Abbott's 'private dinner' with Barack Obama actually a lunch attended by dozens February 1, 2016 David Wroe National security correspondent Former prime minister Tony Abbott crossed paths with US President Barack Obama at an event attended by dozens of other people rather than having a "private dinner" as reported. Mr Abbott, who has been in the US for several days, met Mr Obama at a lunch of the Alfalfa Club, an informal gathering of high-powered businesspeople and politicians, according to multiple sources. The impromptu meeting was reported in News Corp papers as the pair having "met privately", suggesting Mr Abbott was still being actively courted and received by the Obama administration in what would be a source of frustration for his successor Malcolm Turnbull. Instead the meeting took place at a larger gathering believed to have been attended by about 50 Washington powerbrokers. Mr Abbott's high-profile engagements in the US in the past week as well as those of former defence minister Kevin Andrews have underscored how the former prime minister and his supporters are determined to project influence as the spear- carriers of the Liberal Party's right wing. The Alfalfa Club, which has existed for more than a century, has about 200 members. Mr Abbott and Mr Obama are understood to have met at a club lunch on Saturday held at the mansion of the revered civil rights leader, lawyer and business executive Vernon Jordan. Mr Abbott is understood to have also attended the club's main social event of the year, a dinner held on Saturday night at Washington's Capital Hilton hotel, though Mr Obama did not attend the dinner.

  • Harvard Law School's Promotional Literature, 1829-1848
    HARVARD LAW SCHOOL’S PROMOTIONAL LITERATURE, 1829-1848 A REFLECTION OF THE IDEALS AND REALITIES OF THE STORY-ASHMUN-GREENLEAF ERA Michael von der Linn† OEL PARKER, CHARLES WARREN, and later scholars attribute Harvard Law School’s renaissance in the years spanning 1829 to 1848 to the endowment provided by Nathan Dane, the sup- J port of President Josiah Quincy, and the contributions of Jo- seph Story, John Hooker Ashmun, and Simon Greenleaf.1 These were indeed the primary reasons for the school’s remarkable growth. Another, which has received little attention, was an aggres- sive promotional campaign initiated by Story in the 1830s.2 This † Michael von der Linn is the manager of the Antiquarian Book Department of The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. 1 The law school’s faculty and staff consisted of two people during this period. Story was the superintendent; Ashmun handled most of the administrative duties. They divided the teaching load fairly evenly. This arrangement continued when Greenleaf joined the faculty after Ashmun’s death in 1833. Asahel Stearns, Story’s predecessor, directed the school from its establishment in 1817 to 1829. He was the sole administrator and primary instructor, but he shared his teaching duties with Isaac Parker, who held a joint appointment with Harvard College. 2 I have found two references. Warren, who provides the quote cited in Footnote 6, devotes a paragraph to this topic. Newmyer, perhaps based on his reading of Warren, mentions it as well. Charles Warren, History of the Harvard Law School 13 GREEN BAG 2D 427 Michael von der Linn was not the first time Harvard issued marketing materials, nor was it the first or only school to use them.3 But the size of Story’s cam- paign was unprecedented.
