Discretionary Decisionmaking In The Regulatory Agencies: A Conceptual Framework, Daniel J. Gifford Jan 1983

Discretionary Decisionmaking In The Regulatory Agencies: A Conceptual Framework, Daniel J. Gifford

Articles

For years, Professor Kenneth Culp Davis has directed the professional public's attention to the prevalence of what he believes to be insufficiently confined administrative discretion. 1 Davis has found powers of unduly wide latitude in agencies and administrators, such as tax collectors, 2 police officers, 3 welfare administrators, 4 and independent agencies supervising business behavior. 5 In general, Davis recommends confining the discretionary powers of agencies and officials more narrowly than they have been done in the past. He suggests that where discretion cannot practically be so confined, it should be "checked" or "structured." 6 Thus, Davis urges that "one …


The Impact Of Executions On Homicides: A New Look In An Old Light, Richard Lempert Jan 1983

The Impact Of Executions On Homicides: A New Look In An Old Light, Richard Lempert

Articles

Ehrlich's first point is that if one is searching for deterrence it is the law in action (i.e., the actual incidence of executions) rather than the law on the books (i.e., the presence or absence of the death penalty) which is crucial. His second point is that in order to spot deterrent effects other factors which might affect homicide rates, such as conviction rates and unemployment rates, must be held constant. Many of those who believe that Ehrlich's work is fundamentally flawed nevertheless accept these criticisms. This article follows Sellin's approach but takes account of Ehrlich's criticisms. Instead of comparing …

The Invisible Discourse Of The Law: Reflections On Legal Literacy And General Education, James Boyd White Jan 1983

The Invisible Discourse Of The Law: Reflections On Legal Literacy And General Education, James Boyd White

Articles

My subject today is "legal literacy," but to put it that way requires immediate clarification, for that phrase has a wide range of possible meanings with many of which we shall have nothing to do. At one end of its spectrum of significance, for example, "legal literacy" means full competence in legal discourse, both as reader and as writer. This kind of literacy is the object of a professional education, and it requires not only a period of formal schooling but years of practice as well. Indeed, as is also the case with other real languages, the ideal of perfect …

The Coming Curtailment Of Compulsory Child Support, David L. Chambers Aug 1982

The Coming Curtailment Of Compulsory Child Support, David L. Chambers

Articles

Absent parents ought to contribute to the support of their minor children and states can appropriately invoke the force of law to compel them to do so. Stated so generally, even absent parents behind in their payments would probably agree. Since so many others agree as well, and since the numbers of single-parent children have mushroomed, systems of governmentally compelled support in this country have grown enormously. By the early part of the next century, if current laws remain in force and current population trends continue, most of America's children on any given day will be entitled to support from …

The Verdict Of Five Out Of Six Civil Jurors: Constitutional Problems, Hans Zeisel Jan 1982

The Verdict Of Five Out Of Six Civil Jurors: Constitutional Problems, Hans Zeisel

Articles

A criminal jury of fewer than 6 members and a jury in which 5 out of 6 can find a verdict were held unconstitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court for failing to meet the requirements of due process as mandated by the Fourteenth Amendment. In four states-Michigan is one of them-the 5 out of 6jury is the standard civil jury. Two questions are raised: first, whether such a jury violates the Michigan state constitution; second, whether such a 5 out of 6 civil jury violates the federal Constitution even though the civil jury is not protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Disposition Of Felony Arrests, Hans Zeisel Jan 1981

The Disposition Of Felony Arrests, Hans Zeisel

Articles

While we know a great deal about the disposition of felony arrests that reach the trial stage, we know little about the details of the dispositions reached without trial. And yet, this latter category forms as a rule over 90 percent, in New York City 98 percent, of all dispositions. Basing his analysis on a study done in the early 1970s, the author describes and presents data on the various stages in the process from arrest to final disposition through plea bargaining, trial, or dismissal of the case. For the first time, this usually opaque disposition pattern prior to trial …
