Losing Twice: Harms of Indifference in the Supreme Court
Calhoun, Emily M. (Professor of Law, Professor of Law, University of Colorado Law School, Boulder, CO)
In Losing Twice, Emily Calhoun draws upon conflict resolution theory, political theory, and Habermasian discourse theory to argue that in such cases, the Court must work harder to avoid inflicting unnecessary harm on Constitutional losers. But for this to happen, Calhoun contends, the role of judges needs to be reconceptualized. She contends that the Court should not perceive itself simply as an adversarial forum, but also as a 'transactional' one, wherelosers are not simply losers but participants in a process capable of addressing and ameliorating the effects that come with loss.
