Defining Miracles: Violations of the Laws of Nature
Philosophy Compass, 2011Co-Authors: Morgan LuckAbstract:Philosophers have made numerous and varied attempts to analyse the concept of a miracle. To the end, an assortment of necessary and sufficient conditions for the truth an instantiation of a miracle have been offered. In this paper we discuss one of the most common of these conditions – the violation restriction. This restriction holds that all miracles involve a violation of a Law of Nature.

Leibniz on the Laws of Nature and the best deductive system
Studies in History and Philosophy of Science Part A, 2012Co-Authors: Joshua L. WatsonAbstract:Abstract Many philosophers who do not analyze Laws of Nature as the axioms and theorems of the best deductive systems nevertheless believe that membership in those systems is evidence for being a Law. This raises the question, “If the best systems analysis fails, what explains the fact that being a member of the best systems is evidence for being a Law?” In this essay I answer this question on behalf of Leibniz. I argue that although Leibniz’s philosophy of Laws is inconsistent with the best systems analysis, his philosophy of Nature’s perfection enables him to explain why membership in the best systems is evidence for being a Law of Nature.

Agile: Adapting to need of the hour: Understanding Agile methodology and Agile techniques
2016 2nd International Conference on Applied and Theoretical Computing and Communication Technology (iCATccT), 2016Co-Authors: Daminderjit SunnerAbstract:Change is Law of Nature. As far as software industry is concerned, a software development method once popular may prove to be the worst in the near future. Agile development has emerged as a very popular means of software development lifecycle model in recent times with more and more companies starting to adopt this methodology in their organizations. However, there are varieties of Agile methods and practices which can be adopted according to their relevance to the current environment of an organization. In this paper Agile development concept and different Agile methods have been introduced for beginners highlighting major differences and similarities among them. This paper gives insights into the Agile methodologies like Scrum, Agile Unified Process, Extreme programming, Feature-driven Development, Dynamic Systems Development Method, Crystal, Adaptive Software Development, Kanban, Lean Software Development and Agile Modeling.

Bonham's Case, Judicial Review, and the Law of Nature
2009Co-Authors: Richard H. HelmholzAbstract:Bonham's Case (1610) as reported by Sir Edward Coke has often been regarded as an early instance of judicial review of legislation. Lawyers, particularly in the United States, have taken it as a common Law precedent for permitting judges to strike down unconstitutional statutes. Using contemporary evidence from English and Continental legal works, this article contends that Bonham's Case actually rested upon then commonly accepted principles of the Law of Nature, and that those principles stopped short of embracing judicial review in the modern sense. The argument depends on establishing four points: first, that Coke accepted the existence of natural Law and used it in his own writings; second, that the facts of Bonham's Case lent themselves naturally to application of the Law of Nature to a parliamentary act; third, that as understood at the time, natural Law did not permit judicial invalidation of statutes; and fourth, that other contemporary evidence supports this more restrained understanding of Coke's statements in Bonham's Case. In its contemporary setting, the case was therefore compatible with Parliamentary supremacy. It well illustrates, however, one way in which the Law of Nature was applied in actual litigation.

Bonham's Case, Judicial Review, and the Law of Nature
Journal of Legal Analysis, 2009Co-Authors: Richard H. HelmholzAbstract:Bonham’s Case (1610) as reported by Sir Edward Coke has often been regarded as an early instance of judicial review of legislation. Lawyers, particularly in the United States, have taken it as a common Law precedent for permitting judges to strike down unconstitutional statutes. Using contemporary evidence from English and Continental legal works, this article contends that Bonham’s Case actually rested upon then commonly accepted principles of the Law of Nature, and that those principles stopped short of embracing judicial review in the modern sense. The argument depends on establishing four points: first, that Coke accepted the existence of natural Law and used it in his own writings; second, that the facts of Bonham’s Case lent themselves naturally to application of the Law of Nature to a parliamentary act; third, that as understood at the time, natural Law did not permit judicial invalidation of statutes; and fourth, that other contemporary evidence supports this more restrained understanding of Coke’s statements in Bonham’s Case. In its contemporary setting, the case was therefore compatible with Parliamentary supremacy. It well illustrates, however, one way in which the Law of Nature was applied in actual litigation. The student who picks Bonham’s Case as a topic had better take a deep breath first. S.E. Thorne described the academic literature devoted to the case as “voluminous and repetitious”(1938, 543 n.1). And that was in 1938! Since then, it has only become more so—more voluminous and more repetitious. Few seem to have been deterred by his warning, which (to be fair) he did not heed himself. Writing about the case and controversy about what place it occupies in the development of judicial review of legislation have 1 Ruth Wyatt Rosenson Distinguished Service Professor of Law, University of Chicago Law school. The author would like to thank Bernard Harcourt and William Treanor for perceptive readings of earlier versions of this article and also for their help in improving it. 2 8 Co. Rep. 107a, 113b, 77 Eng. Rep. 638, 646 (1610). Winter 2009: Volume 1, Number 1 ~ Journal of Legal Analysis ~ 325 1 326 ~ Helmholz: Bonham’s Case, Judicial Review, and the Law of Nature continued unabated. It is hard to suppose anything remains to be said. I believe something does remain to be said about the case nonetheless, and I have therefore taken it as a subject for research and discussion. My reason is that Bonham’s Case illustrates the part played by the Law of Nature in the working jurisprudence of past centuries. That part has not always been fully understood, and on that account the case repays a further look.
