Financial Screening In Criminal Cases—Impractical And Irrelevant, William H. Fortune
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In 1970 Chief Justice Burger, commenting on the work of the ABA Advisory Committee, compared the criminal justice system to a three-legged stool, one leg the judge, the second leg the prosecution, and the third leg the defense lawyer: "We concluded very quickly that that third leg in this context was as essential as the third leg of a stool. We have not quite said it ought to be jurisdictional that you have three parts to this enterprise but we have come very, very close to it." It is time to admit the overriding social need for attorney representation and …

The Supreme Court's decision abolishing the death penalty, at least as it existed in most jurisdictions, hardly represents the final resolution of the controversy over capital punishment. Given substantial public sentiment which apparently favors capital punishment in some form-voiced, for example, in the results of the recent referendum in California-various legislative bodies will face the question of whether capital punishment can and should be legislatively reinstated. In December 1972 the State of Florida became the first jurisdiction to pass judgment on this question. The legislature enacted a bill allowing imposition of the death penalty in certain circumstances. The two articles …

When I first began teaching six years ago at the Catholic University Law School, one of the two sections of Criminal Law and Procedure assigned to me was approximately 33 % larger than the other. I remember feeling a considerable difference in atmosphere in the two sections, due to the numbers involved. In the smaller section, discussion seemed more intimate, more coherent, more shared by all the students. I felt able to know students better and more quickly. It is stunning now to realize that the larger section in that 1966-67 school year numbered 32 students! When I left Catholic …

The Second Circuit Review: Ix. Evidence: Introduction, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The past year's developments in the law of evidence have been characterized by a hardening attitude toward criminal defendants. The United States Supreme Court's evidentiary rulings during the term covered by the Second Circuit Review (1971-72) manifested this trend (although not uniformly). For example, police stop-and-frisk authority was broadened (and with it the use of evidence obtained therefrom); the scope of the immunity from criminal prosecution required to be granted by a governmental body before self-incriminatory statements can be compelled from a witness was narrowed; the right to have counsel at line-ups was limited to postindictment or post-charge line-ups (with …
Kentucky Penal Code: The Culpable Mental States And Related Matters, Robert G. Lawson
Kentucky Penal Code: The Culpable Mental States And Related Matters, Robert G. Lawson
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
All efforts to improve the criminal law of this commonwealth prior to 1972 were directed toward relatively narrow problems. Legislative changes in the law had been made from time to time, almost always without conscious regard for the manner in which related principles were affected. Defects of considerable importance resulted. The criminal law became substantially disjointed and difficult of administration. Unjust and inequitable treatment of offenders was more prominent than its opposite. In some instances sanctions were clearly inadequate for the type of behavior sought to be controlled. In others they were grossly disproportionate to the social harms used to …
