The Founders' Multi-Purpose Chief Justice: The English Origins Of The American Chief Justiceship, Justin W. Aimonetti, Jackson A. Myers Sep 2021

The Founders' Multi-Purpose Chief Justice: The English Origins Of The American Chief Justiceship, Justin W. Aimonetti, Jackson A. Myers

West Virginia Law Review

During the founding era, the American Chief Justice was nearly unrecognizable to modern eyes. Rather than a purely judicial officer, the Chief Justice was a multi-purpose minister, serving as a judge, an administrator, a diplomat, and an advisor. He was what we call the “multi-purpose Chief Justice.” The multi-purpose Chief Justice of the Early Republic originated with the ancient English office of the Lord Chief Justice. English judges historically served as multi-purpose ministers to the king, engaging in administrative and even political tasks. This was especially true for the Lord Chief Justice. Even as other English judges settled into more …

An Enhanced Conception Of The Bankruptcy Judge: From Case Administrator To Unbiased Adjudicator, Richard L. Levine Apr 1982

An Enhanced Conception Of The Bankruptcy Judge: From Case Administrator To Unbiased Adjudicator, Richard L. Levine

West Virginia Law Review

This article is intended to provide the practitioner with an understanding of some of the considerations and circumstances which have helped define the extent of power of Bankruptcy Judges. Many of these considerations are unarticulated. It is the thesis of this article that in the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, Congress established two principles, difficult at first glance to reconcile. On one hand, Congress has now increased the powers of Bankruptcy Judges in most respects. But on the other hand, Congress severely restricted the extent to which judges may properly become involved in those portions of bankruptcy cases which are …

The Judicialization Of Federal Administrative Law Judges: Implications For Policymaking, Gerald M. Pops Feb 1979

The Judicialization Of Federal Administrative Law Judges: Implications For Policymaking, Gerald M. Pops

West Virginia Law Review

Students of the American federal administrative legal process have long debated the question of whether those persons charged with the responsibility for developing and conducting the formal hearing process and for making "initial decisions" in agency adjudication should act more like judges or more like administrators. Advocates of the judicial model of behavior seek to inject into the administrative process certain values inherent and traditional in Anglo-American courts. These values particularly, although not exclusively, include the protection of the personal, property and procedural rights of private citizens which have been developed by judges acting in their traditional capacities as makers …
