"Silent Revolution": The Rockefeller Foundation's Invisible Influence On The Model Penal Code, Daniel Butler Friedman

Articles & Chapters

For over a hundred years, rich families have been channeling their wealth through private foundations to remake American society, but their immense impact on the law is still poorly understood. This article begins to fill that gap by studying the almost completely unknown origins of one of the most important reforms in the history of American criminal law: the Model Penal Code ("MPC"). To show how the MPC was influenced by its primary funder this article presents unpublished documents from the archives of two of the most important private organizations in American law: the American Law Institute ("ALI") and the …

I Saw Guns And Sharp Swords In The Hands Of Young Children: Why Mental Health Courts For Juveniles With Autism Spectrum Disorder And Fetal Alcohol Spectrum/Disorder Are Needed, Michael L. Perlin, Heather Ellis Cucolo, Deborah Dorfman

Articles & Chapters

In this article, we offer – we believe for the first time in the scholarly literature -- a potentially (at least partially) ameliorative solution to the problems faced by persons with autism(ASD) and fetal alcohol syndrome/disorder (FAS/FASD) in the criminal justice system: the creation of (separate sets of) problem-solving juvenile mental health courts specifically to deal with cases of juveniles in the criminal justice system with ASD, and with FAS/FASD. There is currently at least one juvenile mental health court that explicitly accepts juveniles with autism, but there are, to the best of our knowledge, no courts set up specifically …

Wilf Impact Center Conversations: Prosecutorial Independence And The Future Of American Democracy, Rebecca Roiphe, Justin Murray

WILF Impact Center for Public Interest Law | Event Posters

February 16, 2024

Professors Rebecca Roiphe and Justin Murray will discuss the concept of prosecutorial independence and its central role in democracies. They will talk about current threats (both perceived and real) to this norm and how they might affect the presidential campaign and election. They will also detail the guardrails that our system employs to preserve prosecutorial independence and speculate about whether these would be sufficient should a president attempt to use the Department of Justice to pursue political adversaries or protect allies and friends.

Their Futures, So Full Of Dread: How Barefoot's Contamination Of The Death Penalty Trial Process Continues, Michael L. Perlin, Talia Roitberg Harmon, Maren Geiger, Moana Houde-Camirand

Articles & Chapters

Forty years ago, in its most roundly-criticized criminal procedure decision in modern history, the Supreme Court, in Barefoot v. Estelle (463 U.S. 880 (1983)), a decision premised on testimony by the responses to a hypothetical of a witness who had never directly evaluated the defendant, ruled that such testimony as to future dangerousness – testimony that had concluded there was a “100% chance” the defendant would commit more crimes if released into society -- was permissible. Over a stinging dissent by Justice Blackmun, the Supreme Court had ruled in Barefoot that it was not constitutional error for psychiatrists to testify …

I Hope The Final Judgment’S Fair: Alternative Jurisprudences, Legal Decision-Making, And Justice, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

At the core of any legal decision is an assumption that the decision will be “fair,” yet this is an elusive term. A close study of cases involving criminal defendants with mental disabilities shows that many (perhaps most) of the decisions involving this cohort are not “fair” in the contexts of due process and justice. If legal decisions reflect principles such as procedural justice, restorative justice, and therapeutic jurisprudence, the chances of such fairness will be significantly enhanced. This chapter explains why this goal of fairness, in the context of these cases, can never be met absent a consideration of …

A Fiduciary Theory Of Progressive Prosecution, Bruce Green, Rebecca Roiphe

Articles & Chapters

Progressive prosecutors differ from their more traditional counterparts primarily in the way in which they make decisions. They tend to bind their discretion by announcing categorical policies rather than making fact-based decisions case by case. This article catalogs the unusual degree of pushback progressive prosecutors have encountered from the public, legislatures, courts, police, and their own subordinate prosecutors. Drawing on fiduciary theory, it explains this reaction as a response to progressive prosecutors’ abdication of their fiduciary role. As a public fiduciary, prosecutors are entrusted with protecting the public’s abstract interest in justice, and an integral part of this role is …

Preface: New Directions In Prosecutorial Reform, Miriam Aroni Krinsky, Justin Murray, Maybell Romero

Articles & Chapters

This Preface, which introduces the American Criminal Law Review’s Symposium Issue on Reform-Minded Prosecution, begins by describing the power that prosecutors hold in the criminal legal system, which has historically gone unchecked and unquestioned. As mass incarceration, police violence, and wrong- ful convictions began to permeate the public consciousness, many communities focused their attention on the critical role of their local elected prosecutor and elected leaders who promised to do the job differently. Reform-minded prosecu- tors have enjoyed remarkable electoral successes over the past decade such that close to twenty percent of the U.S. population now resides in a jurisdiction …
