A Train The Trainers Program For Building Legal Infrastructure In China, Brian K. Landsberg
McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles
A critical part of any country’s development is its legal infrastructure. The proper functioning of civil and commercial society depends upon the existence of a reliable system of law administered by dependable courts. Foreign and domestic businesses want some assurance that commercial disputes will be settled in accord with the law and the facts, and neither can thrive without some protection of fundamental human rights. Tourists and expatriates are also reluctant to visit countries that do not provide reliable legal protections. All this we commonly refer to as the rule of law. In 2006, the Pacific McGeorge School of Law …

Defining The Reasonable Person In The Criminal Law: Fighting The Lernaean Hydra, Michael Vitiello
Defining The Reasonable Person In The Criminal Law: Fighting The Lernaean Hydra, Michael Vitiello
McGeorge School of Law Scholarly Articles
When courts invoke the reasonable person as a means to assess culpability, they attribute to the standard some but not all of the objective and subjective characteristics of the accused. The Model Penal Code provides little guidance because the drafters intentionally punted on the issue, leaving line-drawing to the courts. This Article examines four classic self-defense cases and concludes that the courts have not drawn consistent lines regarding exactly which characteristics should be imparted to the reasonable person. The Article examines the most prominent areas of deviation and observes that fundamental inconsistencies within our societal notions of fault and punishment …

Bush, Obama And Beyond: Observations On The Prospect For Fact Checking Executive Department Threat Claims Before The Use Of Force, Leslie Gielow Jacobs
