The Availability of Jury Trials in Copyright Infringement Cases: Limiting the Scope of the Seventh Amendment

This Note argues that statutory copyright damages are properly regarded as equitable and hence that no right to a jury trial exists in cases brought to recover such damages. More generally, the Note maintains that the seventh amendment\u27s distinction between equitable and legal causes of action has produced irrational consequences, and proposes that legal issues be defined narrowly so as to limit the scope of the seventh amendment. Part I analyzes the debate over statutory copyright damages, concluding that historical and statutory construction arguments require these damages to be construed as legal. Part II examines some of the problems that have resulted from traditional interpretations of the seventh amendment, and argues that these problems would be ameliorated by classifying ambiguous causes of action, such as statutory copyright damages, as equitable relief

The \u27Authority\u27 of Law: Joseph Raz Reconsidered

The article presents a critical reassessment of the legal philosophical writings of Joseph Raz. The critique develops from the author’s previous argument that law is – contra recent near-consensus – best understood as “the command of the sovereign, backed by force.” Given that this is the distinctly defining feature of law, Raz’s extended preoccupation with “reasons for obeying law” is misplaced and even nonsensical

Law Is the Command of the Sovereign: H. L. A. Hart Reconsidered

This article presents a critical reevaluation of the thesis—closely associated with H. L. A. Hart, and central to the views of most recent legal philosophers—that the idea of state coercion is not logically essential to the definition of law. The author argues that even laws governing contracts must ultimately be understood as “commands of the sovereign, backed by force.” This follows in part from recognition that the “sovereign,” defined rigorously, at the highest level of abstraction, is that person or entity identified by reference to game theory and the philosophical idea of “convention” as the source of signals with which the subject population has become effectively locked, as a group, into conformity.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/133585/1/raju12133.pd

Chandra/HETGS Observations of the Capella System: the Primary as a Dominating X-ray Source

Using the Chandra/High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (hereafter HETGS) we have detected Doppler motion of Capella's X-ray emission lines in the 6 -- 25AA wave-band. The observed motion follows the expected orbital motion of Capella's primary. This finding implies that the primary G8 III star, not the secondary G1 III star in the Hertzsprung gap, has been the dominant source of hot 10^{6.8} -- 10^{7}K plasma at least in the last six years. In addition, the results demonstrate the long-term stability of the HETGS and demonstrate small uncertainties of 25 and 33 km/s in the velocity determination with the HEG and MEG, respectively.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, accepted by Astrophysical Journal Letter
