Judging And Diversity: Justice Or Just Us?, Richard F. Devlin Frsc
Judging And Diversity: Justice Or Just Us?, Richard F. Devlin Frsc
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
It is clear that the inevitable is upon us: as a society Canada is undergoing significant social change and law, as a social institution and mode of social interaction and regulation, cannot be immune to such changes. I want to suggest to you that these transitions are more than statistical - they are cultural and in that sense they will generate significant changes, indeed challenges, to our conventional ways of doing things. Change is of course somewhat unnerving, even disturbing or threatening, but I want to ask what sort of responses are available to us as we attempt to continue …

In the remarks that follow, I do four things. First, for those unfamiliar with the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, I begin by explaining briefly how the Guidelines work. Second, I endeavor to show why Judge Cabranes is wrong, absolutely wrong in declaring the Guidelines a failure, and mostly wrong in the specific criticisms he and others level against the Guidelines. Third, after jousting with Judge Cabranes a bit, I discuss some problems with the current federal sentencing system, most notably the sheer length of narcotics sentences. Finally, I comment briefly on some of the implications of the Guidelines, and the principles …
An Unsuccessful Attempt To Restore Justice George Sutherland's Tarnished Reputation: A Review Essay, Gary C. Leedes
An Unsuccessful Attempt To Restore Justice George Sutherland's Tarnished Reputation: A Review Essay, Gary C. Leedes
University of Richmond Law Review
Justice George Sutherland (1862-1942) is the subject and hero of Professor Hadley Arkes's laudatory new biography. Arkes portrays Sutherland as a judge "who had found the ground of [his] jurisprudence in 'natural rights." Although history has not treated the Justice kindly, Arkes attempts to reverse history's verdict.

New Certiorari And A National Study Of The Appeals Courts, Carl W. Tobias
New Certiorari And A National Study Of The Appeals Courts, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Elitism, Expediency, and the New Certiorari: Requiem for the Learned Hand Tradition is a thought-provoking critique of the United States Courts of Appeals. Professors William Richman and William Reynolds maintain that dramatic increases in appellate filings have transformed the appeals courts during the last quarter-century, prompting systemic constriction of procedural opportunities, particularly for parties with few resources or little power. The authors find these changes profoundly troubling and propose that Congress radically expand the number of appellate judges.
Individuals and institutions, such as expert study committees, which have analyzed the federal courts, agree with much of the authors' descriptive assessment. …

Doubting Thomas: Confirmation Veracity Meets Performance Reality, Joyce A. Baugh, Christopher E. Smith
Seattle University Law Review
At the close of the United States Supreme Court's 1994 term, Justice Clarence Thomas became the center of news media attention for his important role as a prominent member of the Court's resurgent conservative bloc. More frequently than in past terms, Thomas's opinions articulated the conservative position for his fellow Justices. According to one report, "The newly energized Thomas has shown little hesitancy this term in leading the conservative charge. Another article referred to Thomas's "full-throated emergence as a distinctive and articulate judicial voice." Thomas's new prominence, assertiveness, and visibility have been attributed to his emergence from the shadows of …

Introduction: The Voices And Groups That Will Preserve (What We Can Preserve Of) Judicial Independence, John Q. Barrett

As the 1996 election year commenced, the leading issues of the day included welfare reform, late-term abortions, Bosnia, immigration, drugs, taxes, the budget deficit, and the budget impasse that had shut parts of the federal government. The "hot" national issues did not include judicial philosophy, federal judicial appointments, individual judges or particular judicial decisions. Within weeks, however, that changed, thanks to a single judicial opinion. On January 22, 1996, United States District Judge Harold Baer, Jr., decided a pretrial motion to suppress evidence in the then (and now) obscure New York federal drug prosecution of a woman from Detroit named …
