Unjust Order: Malaysia's Internal Security Act, Nicole Fritz, Martin Flaherty

Fordham International Law Journal

This Report represents the culmination of a year-long project undertaken by the Crowley Program to update the study of the use and impact of the Internal Security Act (ISA) in Malaysia in light of international law obligations. We reference first those international commitments that Malaysia has expressly adopted. However, these are very few--reflecting the antipathy felt by the Malaysian government for international obligations of this sort. Additionally, we have made reference to the generally-accepted international law provisions applicable in this context--intended both to demonstrate the extent to which the ISA deviates from widely-upheld international norms, even if those norms are …

Extradition And The Conflict In Northern Ireland: The Past, Present And Future Of An Intractable Problem, Margaret I. Branick

UC Law SF International Law Review

British government efforts to extradite members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) from the United States have posed challenges to U.S. extradition policy since the 1970s. Under extradition law, "political offenses" traditionally are treated as non-extraditable offenses. Use of the political offense exception to deny extradition of IRA fugitives from the United States prompted the United Kingdom and the United States to sign a Supplementary Treaty in 1985, which eliminated the political offense exception for broad categories of violent acts.

This Note briefly reviews the background of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and discusses extradition law and the political …

Juvenile Justice Reform: A Tale Of Two Systems, Erika Gebo

Doctoral Dissertations

This study examines two juvenile justice reform efforts in one state. The first initiative, a detention risk assessment tool, is embedded within the second initiative, a family court pilot project. Detention screening tools have been developed primarily to alleviate detention center overcrowding and to reduce disproportionate minority confinement in those centers. The instrument under analysis limits discretion by judges in the detention decision making process. The second reform effort, family court, is premised on the rehabilitative ideal. In these courts, judges are presumably given wide latitude in deciding cases in order to meet the individual needs of each offender. These …

Article 36 Of The Vienna Convention On Consular Relations: Private Enforcement In American Courts After Lagrand, Cara H. Drinan

Scholarly Articles

In this Note, I explore the potential impact of LaGrand upon domestic American criminal jurisprudence with an eye toward what the case demonstrates for America as a member of international institutions more generally. In Part I, I describe the central holdings of the ICJ in LaGrand, noting how dramatically LaGrand departs from what American courts have previously interpreted the VCCR to require. Having demonstrated the enormity of LaGrand's procedural implications, I examine early cases after LaGrand and what they suggest about the American judicial response to the ICJ decision in Part II. I argue that American courts err to the …

Applying The Strengths Perspective To Increase Safety And Weil-Being: Views From Families And Providers, Diane Depanfilis, Joshua Okundaye, Esta Glazer-Semmel, Lisa Kelly, Joy Swanson Ernst

Journal of Family Strengths

Consensus about the value of the strengths perspective is developing among child welfare and family service practitioners. Yet, few first-hand reports are available from the perspectives of family members and interdisciplinary service providers about the principles most important for engaging and supporting family members to achieve needed outcomes. This paper briefly highlights principles most often cited as key to application of the strengths perspective and compares first-hand accounts from family members and service providers. These views were elicited through focus groups facilitated by a community-based family support program.Implications for strengths-based practice with families are discussed.

A State Supreme Court In Transition, James E. Bond, Kelly Kunsch

Seattle University Law Review

This article presents a statistical snapshot of voting patterns within the Washington Supreme Court at the turn of the century and then explores how the changing makeup of the court may affect substantive areas of the law. The Washington Supreme Court is in a state of transition; following the November 2000 elections, only Justice Smith has served more than ten years on the high court. Four of the nine justices are serving their first terms. By looking at the opinions and voting records of both the remaining and departing members of the court, we can make some generalizations about the …

Court Review: Volume 38, Issue 4 - Saving The State Justice Institute, Jose Dimas

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

Last fall, Congress seriously undermined efforts to strengthen and improve state court systems. The appropriations bill for FY 2002 funded the State Justice Institute (SJI) at $3 million and called for its demise by September 30, 2003.
SJI is the only federal institution dedicated to improving the state court systems. It does this primarily by funding national-scope court projects and the awarding of educational scholarships to court personnel. A national effort led by the Conference of Chief Justices (CCJ) and the Conference of State Court Administrators (COSCA) is under way in the court community to reverse this decision and gain …

Court Review: Volume 38, Issue 4 - Editor's Note

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

In the lead article in this issue, court consultant Roger Hanson examines the implications of the changing role of the judge. He rightly notes that judging today is not exactly what it was 30 years ago and asks how changes in the perceptions of the proper judicial role have affected the behavior of judges. For most of us, we tend to do our jobs on a daily basis without conscious thought about the various roles we play (e.g., law applier, mediator, policy maker), let alone the expectations of others about our performance of each of those roles. Although Hanson draws …

Court Review: Volume 38, Issue 4 - Drug Treatment Programs: Policy Implications For The Judiciary, Arthur H. Garrison

Court Review: Journal of the American Judges Association

Drug use in the United States has been cited for the growth in American prisons over the past decade. Heroin, once considered a drug to be avoided and scorned, has had resurgence in use by middle-class youth and white-collar professionals due to the increased purity of the drug and the lack of need to use needles for ingestion. Naltrexone has been used as a method of helping heroin addicts to end their drug dependency, but such programs have limitations in their use and effectiveness. This paper is drawn from an evaluation of a drug treatment program in Wilmington, Delaware. The …
