“Under The Present Mode Of Trial, Improper Verdicts Are Very Often Given”: Criminal Procedure In The Trials Of Slaves In Antebellum Louisiana, Judith Kelleher Schafer

Cardozo Law Review

When Louisiana became an American possession in 1803, a primary concern of the new territorial government and its inhabitants was what kind of law would be most appropriate to provide stability and maintain order in a heterogeneous population composed of free persons of French, Spanish, and American ancestry, those of African origin, free and slave, American Indians, and various combinations of these cultures and races.

Comment On Judith Schafer’S “Under The Present Mode Of Trial, Improper Verdicts Are Very Often Give”: Criminal Procedure In The Trials Of Slaves In Antebellum Louisiana, Thomas D. Morris

Cardozo Law Review

Professor Schafer's study of the procedures and trials of slavery in antebellum Louisiana provides a superb foundation for an understanding of the criminal law of slavery. It is an understanding that we have long missed. This is particularly true in terms of the trials in the special slave courts (especially the trials of serious crimes in the First Judicial District Court in New Orleans) that were not appealed to the state supreme court after 1846, when appeals were allowed in criminal cases. Professor Schafer, our leading student of nineteenth-century Louisiana slave law, has covered the criminal cases that were appealed …

“Doubly Condemned”: Adjustments To The Crime And Punishment Regime In The Late Slavery Period In The British Caribbean Colonies, Anthony De V. Phillips

Cardozo Law Review

Several good reasons must have led Michael Craton to choose the title for his very useful work, Searching for the Invisible Man: Slaves and Plantation Life in Jamaica. In the area of slavery and criminal sanctions, however, there is great difficulty with the idea of the "invisibility" of black people. Blacks were, in fact, "evervisible." Indeed, in view of their numbers and ubiquity, the slaves were at the forefront of the minds and concerns of all white people. This was especially true for the dominant political elite who made the laws and controlled the system of the administration of …

Judging And Diversity: Justice Or Just Us?, Richard F. Devlin Frsc

Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press

It is clear that the inevitable is upon us: as a society Canada is undergoing significant social change and law, as a social institution and mode of social interaction and regulation, cannot be immune to such changes. I want to suggest to you that these transitions are more than statistical - they are cultural and in that sense they will generate significant changes, indeed challenges, to our conventional ways of doing things. Change is of course somewhat unnerving, even disturbing or threatening, but I want to ask what sort of responses are available to us as we attempt to continue …
