Washington: The Past and Present Populist State
Hugh D. Spitzer
Describes the impact of the late-nineteenth century populist movement on the structure and content of Washington’s constitution and the consequential impact on the state’s political and legal life. Suggests that the anti-business attitudes and skepticism about government prevalent among Washington State residents in the 1880s and 1890s, continues to influence that state's constitution, laws and politics today.

Keiken, tayōsei, soshite hō [Experience, Diversity, and the Law]
Daniel H. Foote
This essay was published in 2003, in Japanese, as my contribution to a tribute volume honoring Nozaki Ayako, a Ph.D. candidate at The University of Tokyo who passed away suddenly earlier that year. In an article she published in 1999, Nozaki had offered a thoughtful, perceptive critique of an article I had published four years before, dealing with the resolution of traffic accident disputes in Japan. Her article led me to reflect on the reasons for the difference in our views; and that in turn led to this essay. As indicated in the title, two key themes of this essay are experience and diversity. The underlying impetus for both Nozaki’s work and mine was first and foremost our respective life experiences, and those experiences deeply affected the perspectives from which we approached the same basic topic. In turn, the contrasting perspectives presented in our two works reflect the vital importance of diversity – in this case, diversity in life experiences, in backgrounds, and in gender – to legal education and to development of the law. The traffic accident example serves as a testament to the indispensable nature of experience and diversity for the law. Differing perspectives – shaped by many factors, including gender, race and status, as well as work and other life experiences – lead to differing views and new insights into the workings of the legal system, and these insights in turn inform the process of legal development and legal change.
As raised directly in the final section, this essay also constituted an effort to influence teaching methods at Japan’s new law schools, which began operations in 2004, the year after this essay appeared. In its final set of Recommendations of June 2001, the Justice System Reform Council had listed diversity, along with openness and fairness, as the three central tenets for the new system of legal training. I viewed the heightened attention to diversity as one of the most important aspects of the Japanese reforms; and this essay represented one of my efforts to highlight the value of diversity to legal education and the legal profession. Looking back over fifteen years later, I’m sorry to report that, so far as I can tell, those efforts had virtually no impact.
