A Functional Analysis Of The Effective Assistance Of Counsel, A Note, Bruce A. Green Jan 1980

A Functional Analysis Of The Effective Assistance Of Counsel, A Note, Bruce A. Green

Faculty Scholarship

The sixth amendment provides that in all criminal prosecutions the accused shall enjoy the right "to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence." The Supreme Court has construed this clause to guarantee to criminal defendants the "effective" assistance of counsel performing within a minimum standard of competency. Prevalent lower court interpretations of the right. to effective assistance require a showing that counsel's inadequate performance caused actual prejudice to the defendant's interest in obtaining an acquittal. Because most defendants are unable to demonstrate the actual impact upon the outcome of their trial of an attorney's departure from normal competency, courts …

Administrative Agencies And The Rites Of Due Process: Alternatives To Excessive Litigation, Daniel Lee Feldman Jan 1979

Administrative Agencies And The Rites Of Due Process: Alternatives To Excessive Litigation, Daniel Lee Feldman

Fordham Urban Law Journal

With the growth of courtroom litigation, it has become necessary for congress to look to administrative agencies to act in an adjudicative nature. In expanding the role of administrative agencies for efficiency and economic concerns, it is particularly important to still consider the due process rights of citizens. This article addresses the need to balance the procedural due process rights of individuals with the use of administrative agencies to eliminate or at the very least reduce excessive litigation.


Discretionarily Enhanced Sentences Based Upon Suspected Perjury At Trial , Robert M. Wetterer Jan 1979

Discretionarily Enhanced Sentences Based Upon Suspected Perjury At Trial , Robert M. Wetterer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

A judge's discretion is a vital aspect of our judicial system. However, a judge must be cognizant of the impact that his decisions and his beliefs have upon a defendant's constitutional rights. This note addresses the concern of judges enhancing sentencing of defendants convicted of a crime because the judges feel that at trial, the defendant may have committed perjury. Ultimately, it is important that the defendant not be penalized without a proper trial or proceeding to determine whether or not perjury actually occurred. In doing so, rights are protected and justice is served.

Entrapment Versus Due Process: A Solution To The Problem Of The Criminal Conviction Obtained By Law Enforcement Misconduct , Peter O'Connor Jan 1979

Entrapment Versus Due Process: A Solution To The Problem Of The Criminal Conviction Obtained By Law Enforcement Misconduct , Peter O'Connor

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article contrasts the different approaches to dealing with entrapment: the due process rubric of the New York Court of Appeals and the predisposition framework set forth by the United States Supreme Court. The New York Court of Appeals reliance on government lawlessness rather than the Supreme Court's plurality focus on fourth and fifth amendment violations may cause less uncertainty and provide a better guidepost moving forward.


Closure Orders: Safeguard Of Fair Trial Or Prior Restraint, John G. Luboja Jan 1979

Closure Orders: Safeguard Of Fair Trial Or Prior Restraint, John G. Luboja

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This note addresses the competing constitutional guarantees of freedom of the press and the right to a fair trial by one's peers. Examining New York's ruling in Gannett, the note traces the history of each right and explores the need for each to be protected. Ultimately, the note cautions a liberal interpretation of the Gannett decision and rather asks the Supreme Court to find a balance between the rights of the accused and the rights of the press.

Charles D. Breitel - Judging In The Grand Style, Thomas Mayo Jan 1978

Charles D. Breitel - Judging In The Grand Style, Thomas Mayo

Fordham Law Review

When Chief Judge Charles D. Breitel retires from the New York Court of Appeals in December 1978, he will leave a legacy of judicial work that spans two and one-half decades, the last eleven years of which will have been a product of his years on New York's highest court. The process of sifting through not only the Chief Judge's many opinions but also his extrajudicial comments has no doubt begun in earnest in a number of quarters. This Article represents an initial attempt to evaluate Chief Judge Breitel's craftmanship as an appellate decisionmaker.

Arson Fraud: Criminal Prosecution And Insurance Law, Anne Winslow Murphy, Andrew Maneval Jan 1978

Arson Fraud: Criminal Prosecution And Insurance Law, Anne Winslow Murphy, Andrew Maneval

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This comment discusses prosecutions for arson, and more specifically the lack of successful prosecutions of "arson-for-profit," arson that is motivated by an intent to defraud an insurance company. The comment discusses the difficulties in proving arson under both common law and statutory schemes, and various ways to strengthen prosecution of arson fraud. Ultimately the comment concludes that cost may be the most significant obstacle to effective prosecution of the crime of arson, and the power of reform lies with the budget officers of the agencies and elected public officials.

Challenging New York Grand Jury Composition: The Barrier Of The "Systematic And Intentional Exclusion" Requirement, Pearl Zuchlewski

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Note examines the statutory law which provides for a grand jury in New York, the background of federal constitutional requirements, and New York court decisions which have interpreted the statutes when defendants or witnesses have challenged a grand jury for failing to conform to "the very idea of a jury," which is a body "composed of the peers or equals of the persons whose rights it is selected or summoned to determine his neighbors, fellows and associates.
