Can Fingerprints Lie?: Re-Weighing Fingerprint Evidence In Criminal Jury Trials, Tamara F. Lawson Jan 2003

Can Fingerprints Lie?: Re-Weighing Fingerprint Evidence In Criminal Jury Trials, Tamara F. Lawson

Articles

This article discusses fingerprint evidence and its use in criminal jury trials. It is commonly thought that fingerprints "never lie"; however, this article reveals the little known fact that the "science" of fingerprint identification has never been empirically tested or proven to be reliable. It further exposes the seldom-discussed issue of fingerprint misidentification and latent print examiner error. The article explains the importance of fingerprint evidence and its extensive use in all phases of the criminal justice system. Specifically, the article plays out the dramatic courtroom scenario of incriminating fingerprints being found at a crime scene and matching the accused …


Serving Pro Se Patrons: An Obligation And An Opportunity, Kerry Fitz-Gerald Jan 2003

Serving Pro Se Patrons: An Obligation And An Opportunity, Kerry Fitz-Gerald

Faculty Articles

Historically, non-lawyer patrons in law libraries have been viewed with discomfort, and library services, even in libraries open to the public, have been geared toward members of the legal community. However, changes in both the needs of the public and in the demographics of library patrons are challenging the traditional allocation of services in public law libraries. This article discusses the reasons for the traditional allocation of services, the cultural and economic forces that are bringing the public to law libraries in greater numbers, and new modes of service that can better meet the needs of public patrons.


The People's Court Examined: A Legal And Empirical Analysis Of The Small Claims Court System, Bruce Zucker, Monica Her Jan 2003

The People's Court Examined: A Legal And Empirical Analysis Of The Small Claims Court System, Bruce Zucker, Monica Her

University of San Francisco Law Review

ONE OF THE most fascinating aspects of the legal system involves the small claims court process. Often referred to as the "People's Court,"' it is a part of the court that comes most directly into contact with the citizenry of a jurisdiction. "Some cases are bizarre, most are interesting, and all are serious to the parties." 2 Provided that the dollar amount is less than or equal to the jurisdictional limit,3 almost any type of civil action can come to small claims court,4 irrespective of the complexity of the case

The Intricacies Of Commercial Arbitration In The United States And Brazil: A Comparison Of Two National Arbitration Statutes, Matthew Heaphy Jan 2003

The Intricacies Of Commercial Arbitration In The United States And Brazil: A Comparison Of Two National Arbitration Statutes, Matthew Heaphy

University of San Francisco Law Review

AS TRADE WITHIN the Western Hemisphere proliferates, transnational trade partners increasingly rely on arbitration as a means of dispute resolution in lieu of litigation. Brazil, the largest economy in Latin America, has historically been slow to adopt arbitration due to a lack of enforcement of arbitration agreements by the courts beyond the remedy of contractual damages and the requirement of judicial ratification of arbitral awards. The perception of Brazil's cautious approach to arbitration changed with the passage of Law No. 9.307 of 26 September 1996 ("Law No. 9.307"), bringing it closer in line with the pro-arbitration United States Federal Arbitration …


Be Prepared: Unsuspecting Employers Are Vulnerable For Title Vii Sexual Harassment Environment Claims, Jeffrey S. Lyons Jan 2003

Be Prepared: Unsuspecting Employers Are Vulnerable For Title Vii Sexual Harassment Environment Claims, Jeffrey S. Lyons

University of San Francisco Law Review

CONGRESS ENACTED TITLE VII of the Civil Rights Act of 19641 ("Tide VII") to protect employees from discrimination in the workplace. 2 Over the past three decades, however, Title VII hostile work environment actions have expanded potential liability for employers to the point that the employers must take preventive measures or be susceptible to unexpected Title VII suits. An unprepared employer could be caught off guard in situations where, over the course of an employee's tenure, the employee endures occasional pranks, or is exposed to occasional sexual epithets, or coarse or vulgar language. While each of these situations clearly exposes …


Musical Sound Recordings As Works Made For Hire: Money For Nothing And Tracks For Free, Scott T. Okamoto Jan 2003

Musical Sound Recordings As Works Made For Hire: Money For Nothing And Tracks For Free, Scott T. Okamoto

University of San Francisco Law Review

While the entire Copyright Clause has been the subject of extensive academic and judicial dissection, two phrases in particular are relevant to this discussion. "Author" means not only the narrow definition of a writer, "but rather [has] reach necessary to reflect the broad scope of constitutional principles." "[T]he term, in its constitutional sense, has been construed to mean an 'originator," 'he to whom anything owes its origin."' Thus, under this broad construction, an "Author" means anybody who creates an original work; that is, produces something "of one's own independent efforts".


The Rise And Spread Of Mandatory Arbitration As A Substitute For The Jury Trial, Jean R. Sternlight Jan 2003

The Rise And Spread Of Mandatory Arbitration As A Substitute For The Jury Trial, Jean R. Sternlight

University of San Francisco Law Review

THE CVILJURY trial is fast disappearing from our legal landscape, and one important reason for its disappearance is the rapid growth of mandatory arbitration. However, with few exceptions, lawyers, courts, and commentators have failed to adequately consider constitutional rights to a jury trial in determining the validity of arbitration clauses.


Contractual Arbitration, Mandatory Arbitration, And State Constitutional Jury-Trial Rights, Stephen J. Ware Jan 2003

Contractual Arbitration, Mandatory Arbitration, And State Constitutional Jury-Trial Rights, Stephen J. Ware

University of San Francisco Law Review

PROFESSOR JEAN STERNLIGHT believes that courts should be more reluctant to enforce arbitration agreements than they are to enforce contracts generally. In other words, she believes that contract law's standards of consent are not as high as the standards of consent that should be applied to arbitration agreements. This belief puts her at odds with the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), which requires courts to enforce arbitration agreements "save upon such grounds as exist at law or in equity for the revocation of any contract," and with the Supreme Court, which continues to recognize that the FAA places arbitration agreements "upon …

Should Attorneys Be Footsoldiers In The War On Corporate Fraud?, Douglas Michael Mcmanamon Jan 2003

Should Attorneys Be Footsoldiers In The War On Corporate Fraud?, Douglas Michael Mcmanamon

University of San Francisco Law Review

A SLOW BUT steady march out of recession in the early 1990s set the stage for what would become one of the greatest explosions in growth of the capital markets. It was an unprecedented combination of excess venture capital, coupled with the new and seemingly limitless potential of developing computer technologies, particularly the internet, which created the now infamous "dot-corn" boom that culminated in early 2000. From 1995 to the beginning of 2000, the DowJones Industrial Average' ("DJIA") went from a value under 4000 to nearly 12,000,2 representing an almost 300 percent increase.
