The Role Of Interest Groups In Policy Formulation, Warren R. Leiden
Washington Law Review
In the immigration field, as in most areas of national policy, advocacy groups play an important and sometimes essential role in the policymaking process.

This article will examine how advocacy groups determine policy positions and activities and the nature of their role in the making of public policy on immigration matters.

St. Mary's Law Journal
A majority of states permit victim allocution of some sort, with victim impact statements made during the pre-sentencing stage, but Texas is currently the only state which permits victim allocution after sentencing. Since 1991, no one has seriously challenged the Texas practice of allowing such victim statements. Yet, scenes of violence between families of the defendants and the victims following such statements has ignited a movement to reassess the utility of allowing victims to address defendants who have already received their sentences.
