Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 3 – Editor’S Note, Steve Leben Jan 2007

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 3 – Editor’S Note, Steve Leben

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

This issue marks a transition of significance. For much longer than I’ve been editor, Professor Charlie Whitebread wrote an annual review of the past Term of the United States Supreme Court. He died in September, and we are left without his help in keeping up with the latest developments. We are also left without his great friendship, which is noted in a tribute on page 88. Because our readers and members have known Professor Whitebread for so long, we also note at page 128 a full obituary you can find online.

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 1/2 – Procedural Fairness In The California Courts, Douglas Denton Jan 2007

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 1/2 – Procedural Fairness In The California Courts, Douglas Denton

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

In 2005, California’s judicial branch embarked on a two-part assessment to determine current levels of trust-and-confidence in the state courts and to obtain information concerning expectations and performance of the state courts. The findings were revealing—they highlighted good news for the courts and identified considerable challenges. The trust-and-confidence study not only informed the subsequent strategic and operational planning processes, it also spurred a large-scale initiative focused on one particularly compelling aspect of the public-trust-and-confidence assessment: the significant and important role that perceptions of procedural fairness play in determining court users’ trust and confidence in the California courts.


Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 1/2 – Editor’S Note, Alan J. Tomkins Jan 2007

Court Review: Volume 44, Issue 1/2 – Editor’S Note, Alan J. Tomkins

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

This special issue of Court Review focuses on procedural justice. Tom Tyler has called procedural justice the most powerful explanatory concept for why people obey rules that restrict their behavior in ways they would otherwise find unacceptable. David Rottman has written “having a sense that court decisions are made through processes that are fair is the strongest predictor by far of whether members of the public approve of or have confidence” in courts. Procedural justice is worthy of a deep look, and this issue of Court Review does precisely that—it presents papers from some of the nation’s leading scholars who …

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: 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 …
