Adjudication as Facilitation
Adjudication as Facilitation
This chapter defends the cultural model of adjudication displayed in the formation of First Amendment law. This facilitative model, in which regularized judicial participation offers an alternative to the intermittent enforcement model, reorients a jurist's attention toward a different order of responsibilities: the mediation of cultural conflict, the development and management of political grammar, the cultivation of civic ideals, and the rhetorical empowerment of others. This model of constitutional interaction is compatible with the Framers' own writings on the task of judging. It also better integrates their ideas on adjudicative power with their expectations for a democratic ethos that ensures respect for fundamental rights.
