The 2007–2008 Board of Editors is pleased to present Issue 5 of the 2008 Volume.
Professor Gabriel J. Chin opens the issue by exploring why the classic equal protection case Yick Wo proved to be a dead end. The article proposes that the traditional view of Yick Wo is mistaken: Yick Wo was about neither
race discrimination nor prosecution. This article is followed by comments on the topic authored by Professors David E. Bernstein, Darryl K. Brown, Lenese C. Herbert, and Thomas W. Joo respectively. Professor Chin then returns, with a response to the comments.
Next, Professor Edward Lee explores the grey areas of copyright law surrounding user-generated content.
Following this, Professor Daniel S. Medwed provides a response to skeptics and antagonists of the emerging centrality of innocence-based arguments in criminal law.
Then Professor Ronen Perry endeavors
to unveil the political— redistributive— underpinning of the
perplexing legal distinction between consequential and relational economic loss in tort law.
Next, Professor Martha Nussbaum discusses the life
and writings of Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island.
The
Issue concludes with a note by Greg Rubio.
