Rule of Law

By
Over on his Legal Theory Blog Professor Lawrence Solum, of the University of Illinois, has a very good and interesting post on the meaning of the “Rule of Law”. Prof. Solum points out that most law students come across references to the Rule of Law at some point in their studies but that little time is actually spend on finding out what the meaning of the Rule of Law really is. Prof. Solum makes use of the theories and ideas in relation to the Rule of Law by A.V. Dicey and John Rawls while adding an extra layer to Rawls’ theory by including restrictions on Government actions. The post is worth reading as is the blog in general.

From the other perspective, some distorted opinions do arise nationalism within most Chinese people, who reflect totally different from the opinions as to 1989 Tian-an-men Affair. If these reports are prejudicial to China and distorting some truths, should the media freely be forum of helping certain...

Supreme Court Ruling on Punitive Damages

The Supreme Court issued two 5-4 decisions this Tuesday. They indicate that new Chief Justice John Roberts may not be as adept at compromise as many had thought. When Roberts was nominated for the court, many praised his diplomatic and well-reasoned answers at his Congressional confirmation hearing. The cigarette damages case is particularly interesting, and creates a difficult and contradictory due process analysis. The Ruling in Phillip Morris USA v. Williams will hardly be praised by subsequent scholars for its clarity. It sets up a confusing analysis for evaluating punitive damages. The original lawsuit was brought by a smoker's widow. Her husband, Jesse Williams smoked 2 packs a day for 45 years. He died of lung cancer 9 years ago. In Oregon State court, a jury awarded the widow a record $79.5 million in punitive damages. The Oregon State Supreme Court upheld the verdict. Williams argued the cigarette industry committed "massive market-directed fraud" which m...
