Proposed Guidelines For Measuring The Propriety Of Armed State Responses To Terrorist Attacks, Sage R. Knauft Jan 1996

Proposed Guidelines For Measuring The Propriety Of Armed State Responses To Terrorist Attacks, Sage R. Knauft

UC Law SF International Law Review

Transnational terrorism, politically motivated violence that crosses national boundaries, is a tangible threat to world peace and stability. Terrorists, often acting with the support of other states, have managed to organize themselves into transnational networks capable of striking almost any target in the world. Against this backdrop, Israel and the United States, two high profile targets of terrorist activity, have forwarded a justification for forcible state responses to these attacks. This argument, largely condemned by the international community, equates state-supported terrorist attacks with "armed attacks" which trigger a state's right to forcible self-defense under Article 51 of the United Nations …

Factors Related To Attrition From Residential Chemical Dependency Treatment, Jon Evans Hapner Jan 1996

Factors Related To Attrition From Residential Chemical Dependency Treatment, Jon Evans Hapner

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

Previous research has shown that many factors are related to premature termination of chemical dependency treatment. Given the amount of money, time and energy that is devoted to the early stages of treatment, an accurate way of identifying those likely to terminate prematurely is needed. The present study had four purposes. First, the hypothesis was investigated that as abuse becomes more severe, subjective distress and codependency will become more pronounced. Second, multiple factors were investigated in relation to attrition from residential chemical dependency treatment. These factors included severity of alcohol and drug abuse, subjective distress, feelings of worthlessness, mistrust of …

“The Image We See Is Our Own”: Defending The Jury’S Territory At The Heart Of The Democratic Process, Lisa Kern Griffin Jan 1996

“The Image We See Is Our Own”: Defending The Jury’S Territory At The Heart Of The Democratic Process, Lisa Kern Griffin

Nebraska Law Review

The jury system lies at the heart of our democratic criminal justice system, but it has lost much of its moral authority in the popular legal culture. In this essay, I will consider two recent books on the jury that discuss why practitioners and the public both celebrate and condemn it. I will also examine how the jury functions as a policymaking body within the criminal justice system, and preview reforms that might respond to criticisms about the jury’s conformity to the rule of law. Despite condemnations of the system, polls show that past criminal jurors, lawyers, and judges report …


Doubting Thomas: Confirmation Veracity Meets Performance Reality, Joyce A. Baugh, Christopher E. Smith Jan 1996

Doubting Thomas: Confirmation Veracity Meets Performance Reality, Joyce A. Baugh, Christopher E. Smith

Seattle University Law Review

At the close of the United States Supreme Court's 1994 term, Justice Clarence Thomas became the center of news media attention for his important role as a prominent member of the Court's resurgent conservative bloc. More frequently than in past terms, Thomas's opinions articulated the conservative position for his fellow Justices. According to one report, "The newly energized Thomas has shown little hesitancy this term in leading the conservative charge. Another article referred to Thomas's "full-throated emergence as a distinctive and articulate judicial voice." Thomas's new prominence, assertiveness, and visibility have been attributed to his emergence from the shadows of …


When The Constable Blunders: A Comparison Of The Law Of Police Interrogation In Canada And The United States, Robert Harvie, Hamar Foster Jan 1996

When The Constable Blunders: A Comparison Of The Law Of Police Interrogation In Canada And The United States, Robert Harvie, Hamar Foster

Seattle University Law Review

This Article explores the Supreme Court of Canada's use of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in limiting police interrogations and compares its case decisions with cases from the Supreme Court of the United States. Part II of this Article examines the purposes and policies underlying sections 10(b), 7, and 24(2) of the Charter. Part III then examines the application of sections 10(b) and 7 in situations where (1) suspects are interrogated by uniformed police officers or other persons known to be in authority, and (2) suspects are interrogated surreptitiously by persons not known to be in authority. In both …


The Denial Of A State Constitutional Right To Bail In Juvenile Proceedings: The Need For Reassessment In Washington State, Kathleen A. Baldi Jan 1996

The Denial Of A State Constitutional Right To Bail In Juvenile Proceedings: The Need For Reassessment In Washington State, Kathleen A. Baldi

Seattle University Law Review

Article I, section 20 of the Washington Constitution states that "[a]ll persons charged with crimes shall be bailable by sufficient sureties, except for capital offenses when the proof is evident, or the presumption great." Despite seemingly unequivocal language that this constitutional provision is applicable to "all persons," the Washington Supreme Court, in Estes v. Hopp, declared that juveniles do not have a constitutional right to bail. The Estes court engaged in little constitutional analysis, but instead, reasoned that juvenile proceedings are civil in nature and that article 1, section 20 applies only in criminal proceedings. Central to the Estes …


Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski Jan 1996

Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski

Seattle University Law Review

Certainly, it is only by disregarding the "victim's rights" that one can begin to fathom the Washington Supreme Court's decision in State v. Jackson. This decision reversed the conviction of a man who raped his four-year-old niece on Christmas Eve in 1979, causing her to contract gonorrhea. Following his arraignment, Jackson fled and failed to appear at his trial. After attempts to locate Jackson failed, a trial was held in absentia' and he was found guilty of rape, with sentencing suspended pending his return to custody. Jackson evaded the law for nearly thirteen years.'0 Shortly after his eventual capture …

Part III of this Comment gives a brief history of Washington's statutes dealing with status offenders.

Washington's Sexually Violent Predator Statute: Constitutionally Sound And The Best Alternative For The Problem Of Violent Predators, Carla B. Keegan Jan 1996

Washington's Sexually Violent Predator Statute: Constitutionally Sound And The Best Alternative For The Problem Of Violent Predators, Carla B. Keegan

Seattle University Law Review

This Comment argues that the SVP statute is not only constitutionally sound, but is also the best alternative for the problem of sexually violent predators. Part II describes the SVP statute and how it came to be enacted. Next, in examining the constitutionality of the statute, Part III briefly describes the decision rendered by the Washington Supreme Court in 1993 which upheld the SVP statute, as well as the federal district court's 1995 ruling, which held the statute to be unconstitutional. In arguing that the statute is constitutional, Part IV addresses and refutes the arguments made by the federal district …
