Court Review: Volume 43, Issue 2 – Appointive Selection Of Judges, Limited-Jurisdiction Courts With Non-Lawyer Judiciaries, And Judicial Independence, Norman L. Greene

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

The subject of the selection of state court judges has many aspects, including the choice of the selection system, the design of the selection system, the comparison of alternative modes of selection, and the effect of the system on judicial performance or decision making, including “judicial independence.” This article addresses many of these aspects and takes as its starting point a unique symposium of articles published in a special issue of the Fordham Urban Law Journal in the Spring of 2007, preceded in time by a daylong symposium with the authors held at Fordham Law School on April 7, 2006.1 …

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 4 – An American Judge At The European Court Of Human Rights, Donald Shaver

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

We followed President Barack Obama into Strasbourg, France, last April, but our group of 27 judges and justices did not generate quite as many headlines as he did. Not surprising, since it was only coincidence that our seminar on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), sponsored by the International Judicial Academy, happen to follow a NATO summit meeting also occurring in Strasbourg. No worries, we were all excited to be there anyway.

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 4 – President’S Column, Tam Schumann

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

As your president, I have attended meetings of the Conference of the Chief Justices and of the National Association for Court Management. The focus of both conferences was the fiscal crisis confronting us. From chief justices to nonjudicial employees, the dominating topic of conversation was how do we survive the harsh reality of our economic times? I thought it would be of interest to share with you information collected by NCSC’s Budget Resource Center as to what some states have done in response.

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 3 – Roadside Seizures Of Medical Marijuana: Public Safety And Public Policy As Limitations Upon Transporting And The Return Of Lawfully Seized Medical Marijuana, Cameron Mostaghim

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

In November 2007, a California Court of Appeal issued a decision in Garden Grove v. Superior Court that requires local police officers to return medical marijuana to a qualified patient, despite a lawful search and seizure subsequent to a moving motor vehicle violation. The effect of this ruling, in at least some instances, will be to place marijuana back into the hands of a person who is a risk to public safety while driving under the influence or is engaged in the “diversion” of medical marijuana through unlawful transporting.
