Judicial Ethics: A New Paradigm For A New Era, Charles G. Geyh
Judicial Ethics: A New Paradigm For A New Era, Charles G. Geyh
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
As the preamble to the Model Code of Judicial Conduct indicates, traditional notions of judicial ethics operate within a rule of law paradigm, which posits that the “three I’s” of judicial ethics—independence, impartiality, and integrity—enable judges to uphold the law. In recent decades, however, social science, public opinion, and political commentary suggest that appointed judges abuse their independence by disregarding the law and issuing rulings in accord with their biases and other extralegal impulses, while elected judges disregard the law and issue rulings popular with voters, all of which calls the future of the three I’s and judicial ethics itself …

Fictional Pleas, Thea Johnson
Fictional Pleas, Thea Johnson
Indiana Law Journal
A fictional plea is one in which a defendant pleads guilty to a crime he has not committed, with the knowledge of the defense attorney, prosecutor, and judge. With fictional pleas, the plea of conviction is detached from the original factual allegations against the defendant. As criminal justice actors become increasingly troubled by the impact of collateral consequences on defendants, the fictional plea serves as an appealing response to this concern. It allows the parties to achieve parallel aims: the prosecutor holds the defendant accountable in the criminal system, while the defendant avoids devastating noncriminal consequences. In this context, the …

Improving Lawyers’ Health By Addressing The Impact Of Adverse Childhood Experiences, Karen Oehme, Nat Stern
Improving Lawyers’ Health By Addressing The Impact Of Adverse Childhood Experiences, Karen Oehme, Nat Stern
University of Richmond Law Review
Although the legal profession has recognized the importance of improving attorneys’ mental health, it has largely ignored recent social and scientific research on how adverse childhood experiences (“ACEs”) can harm attorneys’ long-term well-being. This article reviews the science of ACEs and argues that law schools and the legal profession should educate law students and attorneys about the impact of prior trauma on behavioral health. Without such education, law schools and the legal system are missing a crucial opportunity to help lawyers prevent and alleviate the maladaptive coping mechanisms that are associated with ACEs. Until such knowledge is widespread, many lawyers …
Prosecuting In The Shadow Of The Jury, Anna Offit
Prosecuting In The Shadow Of The Jury, Anna Offit
Northwestern University Law Review
This Article offers an unprecedented empirical window into prosecutorial discretion, drawing on research between 2013 and 2017. The central finding is that jurors play a vital role in federal prosecutors’ decision-making, professional identities, and formulations of justice. This is because even the remote possibility of lay scrutiny creates an opening for prosecutors to make commonsense assessments of (1) the evidence in their cases, (2) the character of witnesses, defendants, and victims, and (3) their own moral and professional character as public servants. By facilitating explicit consideration of the fairness of their cases from a public vantage point, I argue that …

#Metoo, Meet Inclusivity: Criminal Procedure In Sexual Assault Cases Should Include People With Intellectual Disabilities, Mercy Adoga
Fordham Undergraduate Law Review
This Note explores the legal history of criminal law involving sexual assault cases of persons with intellectual disabilities from 1989 to the present day. The nuances of this legal history will be analyzed through the lens of State v. Scherzer, otherwise known as the Glen Ridge case of 1989. This Note will analyze the effect the Glen Ridge case had on later cases, and how the criminal justice system continues to treat intellectually disabled survivors of sexual assault. Statistics show that people who have intellectual disabilities are more likely to be sexually assaulted, and that the conviction rate for these …
