Who Is Andrea Yates? A Short Story About Insanity, Deborah W. Denno
Who Is Andrea Yates? A Short Story About Insanity, Deborah W. Denno
Faculty Scholarship
On June 20, 2001, Andrea Yates drowned her four children in a bathtub. At Andrea’s trial, in Harris County, Texas, the prosecution’s star expert, Patrick Dietz, appeared particularly adept at persuading the jury to accept the prosecution’s assertion that Andrea was sane and acting intentionally when she killed her children. This Article analyzes the problematic aspects of Dietz's testimony in an effort to contribute some balance to the Andrea Yates story. Despite the long history of expert witnesses in criminal trials, the justice system should question the fairness and efficacy of such an unregulated storytelling process. Part I of this …
Criminal Neglect: Indigent Defense From A Legal Ethics Perspective Ethics Symposium What Do Clients Want: Practice Contexts, Bruce A. Green
Criminal Neglect: Indigent Defense From A Legal Ethics Perspective Ethics Symposium What Do Clients Want: Practice Contexts, Bruce A. Green
Faculty Scholarship
Most criminal defendants in the United States cannot afford to pay for a lawyer's services, and as a result their lawyers are government funded. Unfortunately, some state and local governments drastically under-fund indigent defense services. Criminal defense lawyers serving in these jurisdictions typically carry grossly excessive caseloads and are therefore severely restricted in how much time they can devote to individual clients. Commentators have targeted the under-funding of indigent defense systems as a problem of criminal justice, constitutional law, and civil rights. That is certainly true, but the under-funding of indigent defense also raises a serious and inadequately recognized problem …

Maryland's Next Smart Growth Initiative: The Next Steps, Parris N. Glendening
Maryland's Next Smart Growth Initiative: The Next Steps, Parris N. Glendening
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article discusses Maryland's Smart Growth and Neighborhood Conservation Initiative, the nation's first statewide, incentive-based program to reduce the impact of urban sprawl. It has been used as a model by other states and espouses the notions that no growth is bad and the economy and environment are intertwined. Maryland attempts to change the bottom line of development decisions by making it more attractive and less costly to build in designated growth areas. The article identifies the next steps in Maryland's Smart Growth initiative and concludes that Maryland and the United States must be successful in these and similar efforts …

Sentencing Guidelines For Copyright Pirates In The United States And The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region: A Comparative Perspective, Jonathan J. Rusch
Sentencing Guidelines For Copyright Pirates In The United States And The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region: A Comparative Perspective, Jonathan J. Rusch
Fordham International Law Journal
As more and more nations prosecute copyright piracy cases, it is far from clear whether these nations, in seeking to protect legitimate copyright interests, will also recognize the need to achieve three goals in the sentencing of such cases. The first is honesty in sentencing: that is, avoiding situations in which the nominal sentence that a court initially imposes at sentencing may later be substantially reduced through the parole process. The second is reasonable uniformity in sentencing, so that courts do not have wide disparities in the sentences they impose on similar offenders who commit similar criminal offenses. The third …
Pretrial Detention, Human Rights, And Judicial Reform In Latin America, Jonathan L. Hafetz
Pretrial Detention, Human Rights, And Judicial Reform In Latin America, Jonathan L. Hafetz
Fordham International Law Journal
This Article seeks to address important questions raised by pretrial detention and judicial reform in Latin America. It analyzes the potential impact of criminal procedure reforms on pretrial detention rates. It also discusses whether more general ‘rule of law‘ reforms promoted by international donor organizations like the World Bank can affect the abuses associated with prolonged pretrial detention--whether, in other words, the circle may be squared between economic development and human rights. In addition, this Article describes the adoption of central elements of an American-style adversarial system in Latin America and its prospects for influencing judicial reform. It argues that …

Unjust Order: Malaysia's Internal Security Act, Nicole Fritz, Martin Flaherty
Unjust Order: Malaysia's Internal Security Act, Nicole Fritz, Martin Flaherty
Fordham International Law Journal
This Report represents the culmination of a year-long project undertaken by the Crowley Program to update the study of the use and impact of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Malaysia in light of international law obligations. We reference first those international commitments that Malaysia has expressly adopted. However, these are very few--reflecting the antipathy felt by the Malaysian government for international obligations of this sort. Additionally, we have made reference to the generally-accepted international law provisions applicable in this context--intended both to demonstrate the extent to which the ISA deviates from widely-upheld international norms, even if those norms are …

Judging Judges: Securing Judicial Independence By Use Of Judicial Performance Evaluations, Penny J. White
Fordham Urban Law Journal

It covers numerous performance evaluation options for measuring accountability, such as bar and media polls, state judicial evaluation programs, and the ABA Guidelines for judicial performance.

It concludes that the information provided by state judicial performance evaluations offers valuable insight into judicial criticisms and can give voters appropriate criteria to consider in judicial elections.
Mainstreaming Community Development: Business Strategies As Radical Approaches To Community Representation, Daniel S. Shah
Mainstreaming Community Development: Business Strategies As Radical Approaches To Community Representation, Daniel S. Shah
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article argues that law school clinics are a means of providing positive change in representation in community development. Through a detailed case analysis of the Philadelphia Community Development Credit Union, the article illustrates how most technical assistance providers perpetuate an economic development structure which is contrary to consumer demand. These technical assistance providers carry out the goals and plans of the project funders (a top down approach) rather than focusing on the demands of the consumers. Community development clinics can step outside of the current market structure because they receive funding from independent sources and are thus able to …
