 Davis law in action essay
“Law in Action” also means that in teaching and research, no matter how interesting we find a legal theory, we always need to ask, “How does this affect people’s lives in the real world?” It is an orientation that has led to our national reputation for innovative approaches to both teaching and scholarship.
As at law schools everywhere, the focus is on appellate opinions, and students are asked to analyze and evaluate the holding, apply it to other factual settings, and consider alternative approaches the court might have taken.
Consistent with our “Law in Action” philosophy, we see these clinical and skills courses as important settings for students to integrate their first-hand experiences with their classroom coursework to build a much richer appreciation of how the legal system works in practice.

 Sturm College of Law: Torts Conference
Among other things, I argue that tort law plays a role in both enforcing a set of norms about what it means to be male and female and reproducing those norms on the body itself.
Neither federal nor state law defines how a person's sex is to be determined and, as a result, the courts have been left to devise their own criteria for sexual categorization.
The first is that tort law itself is playing a role in not only enforcing but actually producing (or, at least, reproducing) norms of sexual identity.

 identity
The law of identity, derived particularly from Aristotle, states: "Whatever is, is." Derrida's goal has been to undermine this traditions dependence on the logic of identity through deconstruction.
Derrida deconstructs these laws of Aristotle and the Western tradition of thought --not by finding what's wrong with them, but by investigation and discovery of what's "missing." According to Derrida, "these 'laws' imply the exclusion of certain features such as complexity, mediation, and difference" (6).
Identity is progressive -- it evolves through ones life which is why Derrida says that " it is impossible for one to be 'one with oneself' "(3).

 Logical Proof of Antinomy: A Trinitarian Interpretation of the Law of Identity - Michael C. Rhodes - Theandros - An ...
The claim that 'from contradiction anything follows' does not hold in a Florenskian paraconsistent logic because of his trinitarian reinterpretation of the law of identity in space-time, a personal interpretation of which leads to an affirmation of the Holy Trinity as the ground of truth.
Florensky's position suggests a spatio-temporal interpretation of the law of identity in terms of the conditional aspect of antinomic rationality.
[3] Logically equivalent to the law of non-contradiction: 'not p and not-p' is equivalent to 'either p is true or p is false', which is equivalent to 'if p is true, then not p is false' (by the inversion rule known as 'material conditional').
