On the Expressive Function of Law
Abstract
If I had known that not a single lunch counter would open as a result of my action I could not have done differently than I did. If I had known violence would result, I could not have done differently than I did. I am thankful for the sit-ins iffor no other reason than that they provided me with an opportunity for making a slogan into a reality, by turning a decision into an action. It seems to me that this is what life is all about.

“As Coti (cid:1) c (1996, pp. 10 – 12) noted, “ the regional bias as well as the early framing of the Tribunal in the international media in terms of ‘ Serb crimes ’ undoubtedly rallied Serbian public opinion against the proposed court.”

“Whereas material incentives are the same in the damages and fines treatments, it is possible that the regime itself communicates something to the subjects, according to the literature on the expressive function of law (for example, Sunstein 1996).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
