Execution Of Angel Breard: The United States Federalist System As Scapegoat For The Violation Of An Icj Order, Jane Amory Allen

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

To quote the famous case, The Paquete Habana, "International law is a part of our law." When the Commonwealth of Virginia executed Angel Breard, the United States violated international law. Not only did the Commonwealth of Virginia violate the treaty obligations of its federal government, but the United States failed to comply with the Order of Provisional Measures set forth by the International Court of Justice (ICJ). The outpouring of official dualism through all stages of the case as well as the failure to afford the decision of the ICJ its due respect were affronts to the international community. Mr. …

State Regulation Of Federal Prosecutors: The Impact On Contact With Represented Persons In Virginia, Robert H. Burger

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

The first section of this paper analyzes the ethics rule promulgated by the Department of Justice. The DOJ rule governs those circumstances in which federal prosecutors may communicate with individuals known to be represented by counsel, without the consent of such counsel. The second and third sections of this paper discuss the judicial and statutory rejection of the DOJ rule respectively. First, in O'Keefe v. McDonnell Douglas," the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit reasoned that the DOJ lacked authority to promulgate their ethics rule. As a result of this conclusion, the Eighth Circuit held the DOJ rule …

Effective Intervention In Domestic Violence Cases: Rethinking The Roles Of Prosecutors, Judges, And The Court System, Deborah Epstein

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Despite over two decades of reform, fundamental failures persist in the justice system's response to domestic violence. Society now widely accepts elimination of intrafamily abuse as a crucial goal, and it has been illegal in most states since the late nineteenth century. But the problem remains one of epidemic proportions. As documented in Part I of this Article, battering by husbands, ex-husbands, or lovers is the single largest cause of injury to women in the United States, and accounts for approximately thirty percent of all murders of women. Physical aggression occurs in at least one out of four marriages, and …

The Russian Approach: The Fight Against Genocide, War Crimes, And Crimes Against Humanity, Sergey Lavrov

Fordham International Law Journal

Despite some ambiguous periods in Russia’s history, its record in affirming the foundations

of humanism in international relations is unquestionable. The new democratic Russia, which is

faithful to traditions of humanism and mercy, is making strong efforts to defend victims of genocide,

war crimes, and crimes against humanity. The experience of the international community

in combating genocide, war crimes, and crimes against humanity indicates that the fight against

these evils is bound with efforts to support international peace and security. Post-World War II

history indicates that it is the United Nations that is the central figure in the struggle for …

Atrocities, Deterrence, And The Limits Of International Justice, David Wippman

Fordham International Law Journal

Unfortunately, the connection between international prosecutions and the actual deterrence of future atrocities is at best a plausible but largely untested assumption. Actual experience with efforts at deterrence is not encouraging. Before placing too much reliance on deterrence as a basis for supporting international criminal prosecutions, especially over possible alternatives such as truth and reconciliation commissions, we ought at least to consider carefully the obstacles to achieving effective deterrence.

Defense Requests For International Judical Assistance: The U.K. Perspective, Christopher Murray

Fordham International Law Journal

The purpose of this Essay is to examine the machinery for providing evidence to defendants in foreign proceedings and the extent to which there is equality of arms and opportunity between the prosecutor and defendant when obtaining evidence from abroad in U.K. proceedings.

The Courage Of Our Convictions, Sherman J. Clark

Michigan Law Review

This article argues that criminal trial juries perform an important but inadequately appreciated social function. I suggest that jury trials serve as a means through which we as a community take responsibility for - own up to - inherently problematic judgments regarding the blameworthiness or culpability of our fellow citizens. This is distinct from saying that jury trials are a method of making judgments about culpability. They are that; but they are also a means through which we confront our own agency in those judgments. The jury is an institution through which we as individuals take a turn acknowledging and …

Collision Course: Public Inquiries And Criminal Prosecutions, David T.S. Fraser

Dalhousie Journal of Legal Studies

Public inquiries have become entrenched as an important part of the Canadian administrative state. Public inquiries are given numerous powers to execute their fact-finding missions-powers that sometimes collide with the rights of individuals. In ordinary criminal investigations, those suspected of having committed offences have the right to remain silent and to refuse to participate in their own conviction. Recent inquiries, most notably the Westray Inquiry, have been charged with investigating tragedies where criminal charges may be appropriate. This has raised important questions regarding the power of inquiries to compel all relevant testimony and "name names" where this may collide with …

When Justice Fails: Indemnification For Unjust Conviction, Adele Bernhard

Articles & Chapters

The first section of this article reviews the evidence, both historical and contemporary, documenting the existence and frequency of wrongful convictions. The next dissects an actual case to illustrate how an innocent person can be convicted and why, once the error has been corrected and the conviction is vacated, that person generally has no legal action for damages in the absence of indemnification legislation. The third section argues that society has a moral obligation to assist the wrongfully convicted; that indemnification legislation is a better approach than reliance on ''moral obligation" bills; and that enacting legislation is possible - just …
