>		Cohen, p843 last paragraph:
The law is not "what judges will do" [Holmes], but "the consequences of judges' decisions," i.e. the "new realities" [economic, social, moral, subjective] that are the CONTEXT determining the NEXT decision. But one cannot predict (1) the next judge's subjective response to (2) a future that reacts chaotically to forces like court decisions [e.g. Donaldson].

Frank: Gods and Juries

I must confess; thus far I have understood very little of the reading. Nevertheless, I will share with you my understanding of this passage with the hope that you all will challenge my thinking, and broaden my understanding. Thanks in advance.
