Prisoners Of Isolation - Solitary Confinement In Canada, A. Wayne Mackay Jun 1985

Prisoners Of Isolation - Solitary Confinement In Canada, A. Wayne Mackay

Dalhousie Law Journal

This book is a first-rate contribution to Canadian legal scholarship and is a compelling but not sensationalized account of life behind bars in Canada. Jackson combines a sense of history with thorough legal scholarship and deep concern for humanity in this unique and insightful book. He makes masterful use of his personal interviews with prisoners who have been subjected to solitary confinement to infuse the book with a subdued sorrow about man's inhumanity to man. He successfully walks the fine line between identifying with the plight of the victims of solitary confinement and presenting an objective and scholarly account of …

The Criminal Justice System's Response To Battering: Understanding The Problem, Forging The Solutions, Kathleen Waits Apr 1985

The Criminal Justice System's Response To Battering: Understanding The Problem, Forging The Solutions, Kathleen Waits

Washington Law Review

This article will focus on the appropriate criminal justice response to battering. Part II describes the nature of the problem of wife beating. It first discusses the extent of abuse in America to demonstrate the seriousness of the problem and the urgent need for solutions. The remainder of Part II looks at the issue on a more individual basis. It examines the battered woman, the batterer, the battering relationship, and the effects of abuse on the couple's children. An understanding of the participants and their relationship, unencumbered by the many myths that surround battering, is essential to creating effective legal …

On The Threshold Of Wainwright V Sykes: Federal Habeas Court Scrutiny Of State Procedural Rules And Rulings, Michigan Law Review Apr 1985

On The Threshold Of Wainwright V Sykes: Federal Habeas Court Scrutiny Of State Procedural Rules And Rulings, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note examines specific problems which stand on the threshold of Wainwright v. Sykes. Resolution of these problems is necessary to determine whether a state ruling is based upon an adequate state procedural ground, requiring application of the cause-and-prejudice test before habeas review will be permitted. Part I analyzes the rationale for the rule of Wainwright v. Sykes as well as its historical underpinnings. Part II examines the treatment of state court decisions that are based both on a defaulted claim and, in the alternative, on the merits of that claim. This Part concludes that decisions containing such alternative …


Judge Over Jury: Florida's Practice Of Imposing Death Over Life In Capital Cases, Michael Mello, Ruthann Robson Apr 1985

Judge Over Jury: Florida's Practice Of Imposing Death Over Life In Capital Cases, Michael Mello, Ruthann Robson

Florida State University Law Review

Where a jury and a trial judge reach contrary conclusions because the facts derive from conflicting evidence, or where they have struck a different balance between aggravating and mitigating circumstances which both have been given an opportunity to evaluate, the jury recommendation should be followed because that body has been assigned by history and statute the responsibility to discern truth and mete out justice. Given that the imposition of a death penalty “is not a mere counting process of X number of aggravating circumstances and Y number of mitigating circumstances, but rather a reasoned judgment . . . ,” both …


Civil Rico And The Prior Criminal Conviction Requirement: Has The Second Circuit Drawn The Net Too Tightly?—Sedima, S.P.R.L. V. Imrex Co., 741 F.2d 482 (2d Cir. 1984), Cert. Granted, 53 U.S.L.W. 3506 (U.S. Jan. 14, 1985) (No. 84-648), Diana K. Carey Apr 1985

Civil Rico And The Prior Criminal Conviction Requirement: Has The Second Circuit Drawn The Net Too Tightly?—Sedima, S.P.R.L. V. Imrex Co., 741 F.2d 482 (2d Cir. 1984), Cert. Granted, 53 U.S.L.W. 3506 (U.S. Jan. 14, 1985) (No. 84-648), Diana K. Carey

Washington Law Review

This Note analyzes the Second Circuit's decision in Sedima against the background of the explosion of civil RICO suits and judicial attempts to contain that explosion. It concludes that courts should reject the prior criminal conviction requirement. The requirement is unsupported by either the language or the legislative history of the act, and in practice the requirement would frustrate legislative purposes and deny recovery to those victims whom Congress intended the act should compensate. Moreover, the requirement nullifies the purpose of the private attorney general concept. Until Congress acts to redefine the statute, other limitations would create more desirable results …
