Postconviction Remedies, And Federal Jurisdiction: Tensions In The Allocation Of Judicial Power, Robert Popper, William B. De Meza
Postconviction Remedies, And Federal Jurisdiction: Tensions In The Allocation Of Judicial Power, Robert Popper, William B. De Meza
University of Richmond Law Review
Postconviction Remedies deals with a subject of great importance to the practitioner of criminal law. It is concerned with the procedures available to persons who seek relief from their convictions after trial and after direct review in the appellate courts. Though not usually a part of the law school curriculum and therefore not part of the attorney's formal training, the intricacies of postconviction remedies must be mastered by the lawyer who wishes to render skillful service to the convicted client. The trial and appeal are important battles, but others remain to be fought which can decide crucial issues seriously affecting …
Techniques Of Legal Drafting: A Survival Manual, Peter Nash Swisher
Techniques Of Legal Drafting: A Survival Manual, Peter Nash Swisher
University of Richmond Law Review
The charge that we lawyers cannot write plain English is often supported by the quality of our legal documents. Legal drafting has aspects of complexity and precision not found in the great bulk of writing with which pre-law students are familar. Yet the traditional apprentice method for training competent legal draftsmen has failed "either because the typical young lawyer has been apprenticed to the wrong master or because the law schools have been unable to provide enough competent ones." This lack of a proper emphasis on legal drafting skills in America is demonstrated by the fact that of the four …

Sydnor proclaimed that in eighteenth-century Virginia planters, not lawyers, dominated the political scene and thus dispensed with the legal profession. Sydnor's domain was politics; his discussion centered on the "county oligarchies." In recent years scholars have recognized the pressing need for a deeper understanding of the operations …
Knowledge And Politics, And Law In Modern Society- By Roberto Mangabeira Unger, James M. O'Fallon
Knowledge And Politics, And Law In Modern Society- By Roberto Mangabeira Unger, James M. O'Fallon
University of Richmond Law Review
Professor Unger has given us two striking books, which present an ununusual problem for the reviewer. The great run of books, as the great run of thought, falls into established conventions. They are concerned with elucidating aspects of the convention of which they partake, or challenging competing conventions. Reviewer and reader will usually be aware of the general outlines of the convention, leaving the reviewer with the relatively simple tasks of placing the work within the appropriate convention, and making such critical remarks as appear warranted.
