American courts adjudication concerning slavery – between formalism and subversion
Abstract
Article discusses a dilemma of judge facing a possibility (or
necessity) of applying judicial disobedience. From the philosophical
as well as theoretical point of view, the most intriguing would be an
instance of judicial disobedience when applied to a state of democracy
and the rule of law. In order to (re-)construct such an instance,
the article traces the reader back to the middle of the 19th Century,
when the moral conscience of (at least) some of American judges
drove them to searching for the sound justification of judicial disobedience
when faced with problem of slavery.
