Electronic Media Access To Federal Courtrooms: A Judicial Response, Laralyn M. Sasaki
Electronic Media Access To Federal Courtrooms: A Judicial Response, Laralyn M. Sasaki
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note examines the ongoing electronic media access dispute and suggests methods to establish access. Because reform of current law would be implemented largely at the judicial "front lines"-the 700-plus U.S. district judges' courtrooms ---the concerns and desires of district judges are of primary importance to any proposed change. The survey documented an institutional resistance to an expanded media presence in federal courtrooms; this institutional inertia may be the strongest single reason that change has not occurred. Part I of this Note presents the federal rules, canons, and resolutions comprising the current prohibition against video and audio-equipment access, as well …

The Supreme Court In Politics., Terrance Sandalow
Reviews
Despite all that has been written about the bitter struggle initiated by President Reagan's nomination of Robert Bork to a seat on the Supreme Court, its most remarkable feature, that it was waged over a judicial appointment, has drawn relatively little comment. Two hundred years after the Philadelphia Convention, Hamilton's "least dangerous" branch - least dangerous because it would have "no influence over either the sword or the purse, no direction either of the strength or the wealth of the society, and can take no active resolution whatever"'-had come to occupy so important a place in the nation's political life …

Mandates, Legal Foundations, Powers And Conduct Of Commissions Of Inquiry, A Wayne Mackay
Dalhousie Law Journal
Indeed, it may be just as difficult to disentangle law and politics as it is to separate religious and sexual passions. While law has traditionally been presented as more value-neutral than politics, in either its academic or applied form, the inaccuracy of this view of law is becoming widely recognized. Value choices have always been a vital aspect of legal adjudication and the arrival of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 has forced judges to be more overt about this aspect of their job.' The separation of law and politics is more a matter of mythology than …

How Should Lawyers And Legal Profession Adapt?, S Gm Grange
Dalhousie Law Journal
Of all the love affairs with which the people of this world have been blessed or afflicted, that between public inquiries and the media is certainly one of the strangest. I have been in and about the law for over 40 years and in that time I say immodestly I have pleaded, what to me were, some very interesting cases and I have in the last 14 years had occasion to sit in judgment on some, not only interesting but, perhaps important cases. But I know perfectly well that when the time comes to take my departure, if I am …

The Commission And Its Report: Public Education, Advocacy And Lobbying, A Cairns, S Grange J, E C. Harris
Dalhousie Law Journal
Mr. Harris: The question concerning the justification of commissions of inquiry has been raised in the preceding discussions. If their sole justification is having the bulk of their recommendations implemented, the institution probably would have died out long ago. Nevertheless, it must be of considerable concern to commissioners that the record has not been good in terms of implementation and one of the questions that perhaps will determine how successful commissions are in this respect has to do with what happens when the report is delivered and thereafter. These questions will be largely the subject of the panel that we …
