Writing a novel is like the weather. Everybody talks about it, but hardly anybody does anything about it. Prior to 2001, that was true of Yale law professor Stephen L. Carter, author of seven very serious works of non-fiction with heavy-duty titles like "The Culture of Disbelief: How American Law and Politics Trivialize Religious Devotion" and "The Dissent of the Governed: A Meditation on Law, Religion, and Loyalty. To the extent Mr. Carter was known, it was chiefly in legal- academic circles. But then he did what so many non-fiction authors talk about but never get around to doing - he wrote a novel, "The Emperor of Ocean Park," which quickly achieved the Olympian heights of "#1 New York Times bestseller." After that, he could no longer say, along with James Baldwin, nobody knows my n...

Although accounts of how race (and class) punctuated the elimination of African American midwives are well documented,6 this article further explores how downplaying the racial privilege of white midwives, medical personnel, and other figures in African American midwives' narratives has problematic implications for a contemporary midwifery movement that prides itself on inclusivity and its benefit to all women. INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...

A copyright system is designed to produce an ecology that nurtures the creation, dissemination, and enjoyment of works of authorship. When it works well, it encourages creators to generate new works, assists intermediaries in disseminating them widely, and supports readers, listeners, and viewers in enjoying them. If the system poses difficult entry barriers to creators, imposes demanding impediments on intermediaries, or inflicts burdensome conditions and hurdles on readers, then the system fails to achieve at least some of its purposes. The current U.S. copyright statute is flawed in all three respects. In this Article, I explore how the current copyright system is failing its intended beneficiaries. The foundation of copyright law’s legitimacy, I argue, is built on its evident ...

The concept of a legal right to privacy existed long before 1890 when Samuel D. Warren and Louis D. Brandeis published their much-acclaimed Harvard Law Review article advocating tort liability for invasions of privacy by publication. A number of writers and public intellectuals had already dramatized a need for protecting people from the prying of the press. Their essays upheld Victorian social standards and typically assigned blame to commercial pressures on journalists to satisfy public appetites. Attempting to resolve a conflict between civility and civil liberties, they either endorsed as much self-regulation as possible or called for a legal remedy. Nineteenth-century privacy advocates raised issues of audience tastes and media ethics that remain contentious today.
