Substituting Secure Detention For Shelter Care: An Illegal Deprivation Of Liberty, Susan M. Johlie Sep 1995

Substituting Secure Detention For Shelter Care: An Illegal Deprivation Of Liberty, Susan M. Johlie

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

Judges sitting on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia routinely order children into secure detention who require no more restrictive confinement than that provided by shelter care. Despite a statutory presumption against detention, and a superior court rule that prohibits substituting secure detention for shelter care,' the District inappropriately places children into secure detention simply because there is a lack of bed space in youth shelter houses. The deprivation of liberty that occurs when a juvenile is placed in secure detention rather than shelter care is required neither for the protection of the community nor for the welfare …

Exorcising The Evil Of Forum-Shopping, Kevin M. Clermont, Theodore Eisenberg Sep 1995

Exorcising The Evil Of Forum-Shopping, Kevin M. Clermont, Theodore Eisenberg

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Most of the business of litigation comprises pretrial disputes. A common and important dispute is over where adjudication should take place. Civil litigators deal with nearly as many change-of-venue motions as trials. The battle over venue often constitutes the critical issue in a case.

The American way is to provide plaintiffs with a wide choice of venues for suit. But the American way has its drawbacks. To counter these drawbacks, an integral part of our court systems, and in particular the federal court system, is the scheme of transfer of venue "in the interest of justice." However, the leading evaluative …

Politics And The Judiciary: The Influence Of Judicial Background On Case Outcomes, Orley Ashenfelter, Theodore Eisenberg, Stewart J. Schwab Jun 1995

Politics And The Judiciary: The Influence Of Judicial Background On Case Outcomes, Orley Ashenfelter, Theodore Eisenberg, Stewart J. Schwab

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

It is widely believed that the background and worldview of judges influence their decisions. This article uses the fact that judges are assigned their cases randomly to assess the effect of judicial background on the outcome of cases from the day-to-day docket in three federal trial courts. Unlike the political science findings of ideological influence in published opinions, we find little evidence that judges differ in their decisions with respect to the mass of case outcomes. Characteristics of the judges or the political party of the judge's appointing president are not significant predictors of judicial decisions.


The Federal Rules Of Evidence--Past, Present, And Future: A Twenty-Year Perspective, Faust Rossi Jun 1995

The Federal Rules Of Evidence--Past, Present, And Future: A Twenty-Year Perspective, Faust Rossi

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

This Essay surveys three major transformations in state and federal rules of evidence since the introduction of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The Rules have not only inspired a movement toward codification in the states, they have also liberalized the admission of expert testimony and hearsay. This partially explains thirteen states' reluctance to codify. Judges have furthered this trend by admitting far more discretionary hearsay evidence than Congress intended. Professor Rossi doubts this expansion of the hearsay exceptions would have occurred without the adoption of the FRE and suggests that the newly formed Advisory Committee will produce greater substantive changes …

Fifth Amendment First Principles: The Self-Incrimination Clause, Akhil Reed Amar, Renée B. Lettow

Michigan Law Review

In Part I of this article, we examine the global puzzle of the Self-Incrimination Clause and the local confusion or perversion lurking behind virtually every key word and phrase in the clause as now construed. In Part II we elaborate our reading of the clause and show how it clears up the local problems and solves the overall puzzle.

Independence Of The Judiciary For The Third Century, Deanell Reece Tacha Mar 1995

Independence Of The Judiciary For The Third Century, Deanell Reece Tacha

Mercer Law Review

For I agree, that "there is no liberty, if the power of judging be not separated from the legislative and executive powers... the complete independence of the courts of justice is peculiarly essential in a limited constitution."
The Federalist No. 78, at 402 (Alexander Hamilton)

Alexander Hamilton's impassioned advocacy of an independent judiciary rings as true now as it did when Hamilton was attempting to convince the people of the State of New York to ratify the new Constitution. For over 200 years, the independent federal judiciary has been a powerful tool in guarding the Constitution and the rights of …


"Separateness But Interdependence, Autonomy But Reciprocity": A First Look At Federal Judges' Appearances Before Legislative Committees, Harvey Rishikof, Barbara A. Perry Mar 1995

"Separateness But Interdependence, Autonomy But Reciprocity": A First Look At Federal Judges' Appearances Before Legislative Committees, Harvey Rishikof, Barbara A. Perry

Mercer Law Review

The Founding Fathers established judicial independence as a central tenet of the Constitution of the United States in order to insulate federal judges from the President, the Congress, and the electorate. Yet because of the complicated nature of the Constitution and overlapping powers, the judiciary has not remained totally isolated from the legislative process. Our research has discovered hundreds of instances of federal jurists testifying before congressional committees on subjects such as court administration, federal jurisdiction, budgetary policy, and pending legislation in a variety of fields. Indeed, our findings buttress a key argument of Justice Robert H. Jackson's concurring opinion …
