Case Study 4: Judges and Recusal

A judge has recently taken a seat on the bench. Two years before taking his seat, his/her parents hired an attorney to represent their privately owned corporation about a legal matter that ultimately was settled. The judge’s parents’ attorney never appeared in the judge’s court while the case was being settled. Other members of the attorney’s law firm appear in the judge’s court representing other clients but not representing the judge’s parents. The judge is considering two policies to address this matter. First, he could inform the parties and their attorneys that a member of their firm formerly represented his parents and recuse himself if requested. Second, he could adopt a policy of recusing himself across the board, whenever an attorney from the law firm is scheduled to appear in his court.

Analyze which policy is better at helping the judge to fulfill his judicial duties, using the common morality system, the NYS Rules of Judicial Conduct, class notes, and readings.

In criticizing the power of the “social collectivity” in modern society, what kinds of institutions or aspects of social existence is Weil mainly referring to? What aspects about Weil’s life and thought portrayed in the film “An Encounter with Weil” reflects how seriously she took being morally obligated to others?

Question 1:

Adam Smith and Karl Marx proceed from a shared premise, but arrive at radically different conclusions about capitalism. What is this premise, and how and why do they draw different conclusions from it? How does Marx specifically spell them out? In what way does Marx’s critique of various forms of alienation in his essay “Estranged Labor” speak to issues facing us today—especially those which we have experienced during the pandemic? In answering these questions, make sure to directly engage Smith and Marx’s actual texts.

Question 2:

How does Fanon explain the origin and persistence of anti-Black racism, and how does he propose combatting to it? Why does he adopt a psycho-social approach to race and racism, and what it does it have to do with the effort to overcome barriers to achieving mutual recognition? According to Fanon, what is needed to oppose and overcome racism? Does it require changes on an individual or social level, or both?  What did you learn from Fanon’s discussion of race and racism that you may not have known before taking this class?

Question 3:

Simone Weil wrote, “automatic machines seem to offer the model for the intelligent, docile, and conscientious worker” to the point that “we have almost lost the notion of what real thought is.” What does she mean by this, and what evidence does she present for this? How might her concern with the possibility of losing “the notion of what real thought is” relate to Plato, Aristotle, Smith, Fanon, or Marx (pick only one of any of these thinkers).

  • Weil claims that never before have individuals been so subjected to a “social machine” over which they have no control. What is evidence does she supply for this claim?
  • In criticizing the power of the “social collectivity” in modern society, what kinds of institutions or aspects of social existence is Weil mainly referring to?
  • What aspects about Weil’s life and thought portrayed in the film “An Encounter with Weil” reflects how seriously she took being morally obligated to others?

 

You must NOT look at, consult, or borrow from any outside source, whether a book, encyclopedia, or material on the web, nor obtain help from or borrow material from anyone else. The paper has to be by yourself alone and in your own words. If you quote from any of these thinkers, use the style for how to insert footnotes (with page references), found in “Paper Assignments” under “Content” in D2L. Any paper that contains material taken from any source other than the readings assigned for class earns an automatic failure.

Learning about another country

This week’s discussion activity involves learning about another country’s support for its senior citizens and how it compares to the services available here in the United States. This issue is relevant for this chapter because a large element of retirement involves some kind of government-provided financial support for older adults.

What Would You Do?

Read the following thought experiment from Philippa Foot and then write an essay that answers the questions that follow:

“Let us consider […] a pair of cases which I shall call Rescue I and Rescue II. In the first Rescue story we are hurrying in our jeep to save some people – let there be five of them – who are imminently threatened by the ocean tide. We have not a moment to spare, so when we hear of a single person who also needs rescuing from some other disaster we say regretfully that we cannot rescue him, but must leave him to die. To most of us this seems clear […]. This is Rescue I and with it I contrast Rescue II. In this second story we are again hurrying to the place where the tide is coming in in order to rescue the party of people, but this time it is relevant that the road is narrow and rocky. In this version the lone individual is trapped (do not ask me how) on the path. If we are to rescue the five we would have to drive over him. But can we do so? If we stop he will be all right eventually: he is in no danger unless from us. But of course all five of the others will be drowned. As in the first story our choice is between a course of action which will leave one man dead and five alive at the end of the day and a course of action which will have the opposite result. (Philippa Foot, “Killing and Letting Die,” from Abortion and Legal Perspectives, eds. Garfield and Hennessey, 2004, University of Massachusetts Press)

1. What would Mill tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his theory of utilitarianism? Be clear in explaining Mill’s recommendation, and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
– The Principle of Utility and how it would specifically apply in this situation—who gets “counted” and how?

2. What would Kant tell the rescuer to do, in Rescue I and Rescue II, according to his deontological theory? Be clear in explaining Kant’s recommendation and how he would justify it. In doing so, you must include a discussion of the following:
– The first version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in these two situations (hint, you have to say what the maxim would be and what duty would be generated according to it).
– The second version of the Categorical Imperative and how it would specifically apply in this situation.

3. Explain one criticism of both Mill and Kant. Afterward, argue for which ethical approach, on your view is superior. Be specific and provide reasons for your claim.
