Inmates' Rights: Lost In The Maze Of Prison Bureaucracy?, A Wayne Mackay

Dalhousie Law Journal

A prison inmate is supposed to have the same basic rights as any other citizen, except to the extent that such rights are circumscribed by physical confinement. This may be surprising to many prison authorities, and most of the general public. The point was made forcefully by Mr. Justice White of the United States Supreme Court in Wolffv. McDonnelI But though his rights may be diminished by the needs and exigencies of the institutional environment, a prisoner is not wholly stripped of constitutional protections when he is imprisoned for crime. There is no iron curtain between the Constitution and the …

The Juvenile Court Meets The Principle Of Offense: Punishment, Treatment, And The Difference It Makes, Barry C. Feld

Articles

The United States Supreme Court's decision In re Gault 1 transformed the juvenile court into a very different institution than that envisioned by its Progressive creators. 2 Judicial and legislative efforts to harmonize the juvenile court with Gault's constitutional mandate have modified the purpose, process, and operation of the juvenile justice system. The Progressives envisioned a procedurally informal court with individualized, offender-oriented dispositional practices. The Supreme Court's due process decisions impose procedural formality on the juvenile court's traditional, individualized-treatment sentencing schemes. As the juvenile court system deviates from the Progressive ideal, it increasingly resembles, both procedurally and substantively, the adult …

University of Richmond Law Review

Mediation is becoming a vital part of family legal problem solving and is creating new challenges for the lawyer practicing in the family law setting. The American Bar Association, the Association of Family and Conciliation Courts and others recently have proposed standards of behavior for mediators where none have existed before. States also have attempted to define the appropriate realm of ethical practice for family mediation.

Whose Right Is It Anyway--Individualism, Community, And The Right To Die: A Commentary On The New Jersey Experience, Joanna K. Weinberg

UC Law Journal

Advances in medical technology have precipitated the growing controversy over withdrawal of life-sustaining treatment from a terminally ill person. Courts have drawn on two doctrines when seeking to balance the interests of the parties involved: the doctrines of best interests and self-determination. This Commentary questions the way these competing doctrines have become intertwined in the jurisprudence of right-to-die issues for non-autonomous persons. Through analysis of the development of New Jersey case law on this subject, it examines New Jersey's ultimately unsuccessful attempt to reconcile the competing ideologies. The Commentary also critiques three alternative scholarly proposals, by Callahan, Emanual, and Handler, …

A California Juvenile's Right To Trial By Jury: An Issue Now Overripe For Consideration, Carol R. Berry

San Diego Law Review

This Comment addresses the issue of a juvenile's right to trial by jury. The author traces the origin and development of the juvenile justice system. The author argues that a quid pro quo system was established where a minor's due process rights were exchanged for the protection and rehabilitative efforts of the juvenile court, but that juvenile courts have failed to effect this purpose. The author analyzes United States Supreme Court case law that extends procedural due process rights to minors. The author then analyzes California case law and addresses the trend toward the "criminalization" of California juvenile delinquency proceedings. …
