The Feminist Jurisprudence of Judge Jack B. Weinstein
No full textAs this Symposium demonstrates, Jack B. Weinstein continues to write decisional law that has edified and stimulated expert readers for many decades. The Weinstein trove also contains feminist jurisprudence. Starting no later than 1974 and into the current millennium, Judge Weinstein has been ameliorating the burdens of gender-oppression. This Article groups decisions published by the Judge into six gender-related themes: women of low income, sentencing female offenders, women’s civil rights, “the woman’s Constitution,” women’s redress for personal injury, and feminism beyond women. It also identifies what is feminist about this extraordinary compendium
Jack Weinstein: Judicial Strategist
No full textThis Article has been stimulated by the work of Professor Walter Murphy (Elements of Judicial Strategy) who employed the papers of United States Supreme Court justices to examine the ways a justice might go about increasing his influence on the shaping of public policy. Murphy suggested the strategies and tactics—conscious and unconscious—by which a justice might reach that end.
This Article applies Murphy’s model to federal district judges, examining how one of the most distinguished, Judge Jack B. Weinstein, has employed the tools open to a federal trial judge. Judge Weinstein, of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York for forty-eight years, was not chosen because he is a typical district judge. On the contrary, he is a policy-oriented judge with striking abilities and immense energy who has been extraordinarily creative in his use of judicial power and remarkably innovative in his approach to both law and procedure.
Among the earmarks of Judge Weinstein’s work has been taking the initiative from the attorneys, sometimes narrowing the scope of the issues before him, sometimes widening them, while in major cases trying to keep a broad array of parties and experts in the case and expecting that the attorneys before him will employ innovative substantive norms. In long, deeply thought-through and elegant opinions, Judge Weinstein has dug deeply into problems in order to provide illumination for judges and magistrate judges facing the same or similar difficult issues. He also has had the knack of getting visibility for his ideas.
Judge Weinstein’s persuasiveness has also been manifest by his authoring treatises, casebooks, and many hundreds of law review articles and speeches dealing with jurisprudential problems and/or the administration of justice.
Beyond his persuasive abilities, Judge Weinstein’s efficacy has also been the result of the affect of an unusually attractive personality on his colleagues, the academic community, and many others

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

Jack Weinstein: Reimagining the Role of the District Court Judge
No full textThis essay, for a symposium issue of the Federal Sentencing Reporter dedicated to the impact of Judge Jack Weinstein on the occasion of his retirement from the federal bench, highlights how Judge Weinstein has re-imagined the role of the district court judge. Through his judicial opinions, extrajudicial writings and speeches, and his innovative use of the court’s supervisory authority, Judge Weinstein has challenged, and in some cases altered, the status quo in the realm of criminal sentencing. In doing so, he has established a forceful example of how district court judges can use their position to advocate for and effect reform more broadly in the system they are called upon to administer – an example that some other judges already have embraced. In his scholarship, Judge Weinstein also has turned his critical lens inward and examined whether this work is consistent with the judicial role. He concludes that it is, but offers valuable guidance for other judges considering following in his footsteps for how to do so in a way that minimizes concerns about partiality. In the end, Judge Weinstein concludes that such work is not only permissible but required when judges perceive injustice. Few will be as creative, prolific, or persuasive as Judge Weinstein has been. But he leaves behind a fully articulated vision of an active district court judge and invites other judges to consider the kind of judge they want to be given the limits and possibilities that accompany their position
