Balanced Justice: Mr. Justice Powell And The Constitution, Randolph C. Duvall, John E. Ely, Mark S. Gardner, William C. Goodwin, H. P. Williams

In many areas, Justice Powell's desire for judicial flexibility as well as judicial restraint has made him a leader in turning the Burger Court away from the bright-line tests enunciated by the Warren Court.

University of Richmond Law Review
Fundamental to our adversary system ofjustice is the right to impeach the testimony of an opposition witness. This right extends to a criminal defendant who chooses to take the stand, for his veracity and credibility are in issue. Admission of prior silence as a means of impeaching the testimony of a witness was favored by a broad rule of evidence at common law. However, the existence of an inconsistency between the silence and later testimony was a necessary condition for the admission of the defendant's prior silence. While the courts have not defined the degree of inconsistency required to allow …
