Introduction To The Jury At A Crossroad: The American Experience, Nancy S. Marder

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The jury is integral to the American experience of democracy and yet it appears to be under attack. With negative press attention focused on the jury in recent years and calls for imposing limits on the jury gaining support in state and national legislatures, the jury is at a crossroad. Will reforms be made that weaken the jury's roles and power simply to provide a quick fix for an institution that is mischaracterized as broken? This symposium provides a multi-faceted and sustained examination of the roles of the jury past, present, and future. It explores not only the broad roles …

How Much Do We Really Know About Race And Juries? A Review Of Social Science Theory And Research, Samuel R. Sommers, Phoebe C. Ellsworth

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Social science findings are often overlooked or oversimplified by legal scholars who write about race and juries. This body of empirical research offers important theoretical and methodological contributions to the study of race and jury decision making, yet it is also marked by inconsistencies and common design limitations. In the present Article, we evaluate the state of this literature more critically and attempt to integrate its often disparate findings using psychological theories of racial bias and social judgment. Our review includes studies that measure the influence of a defendant's race on the judgments of individual jurors; studies comparing the decision …

When All Of Us Are Victims: Juror Prejudice And "Terrorist" Trials, Neil Vidmar

Chicago-Kent Law Review

On September 11, 2001 all Americans became victims. The threat of terrorism at home and abroad, now and for the indefinite future, is not only to their physical safety and economic well-being, but also to their deeply held social and political values. The terrorists have been identified as members of the Muslim faith and most are of Middle Eastern ethnic descent. This Article discusses the problem of persons accused of being terrorists, or aiding terrorists, obtaining a fair trial in the light of this national victimization. Research conducted for the "American Taliban" case of John Walker Lindh, reported in the …

A Conservative Perspective On The Future Of The American Jury Trial, Robert P. Burns

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The American jury trial has evolved in a way that is deeply respectful of the dense complexity of competing values that pervade our common life. The consciously structured hybrid of languages and practices of which the trial is composed reflects those values fairly. The trial is thus the crucible of democracy. Simplistic understandings of the trial rooted in a form of legal positivism and an affection for bureaucracy threaten it. We must be very careful of distorting the architecture of what we have achieved in one of greatest achievements of our public culture. This is not to say that reform …

Isomorphic Correspondence: Hybrid Different Media: Music And Architecture, Ki Ho Choi

Architecture Thesis Prep

School of Crafting Instruments: Hudson Yard in Manhattan, New York, NY

"In my thesis approach to the music and architecture, I am not evoking the classical Pythagoras and Palladio. I am more dealing with architecture and music as new ground of present architecture and new hybrid medium between them...

Architecture, just linked music with simple arithmetic ratios, should confront and try to parallel to contemporary music theory...

To hybrid these different media, I have chosen the instruments and Bella Bartok's musical Theory. Instrument has architectonic form with musical character while Bartok's musical theory has visual character. These two media can …

Race, Diversity, And Jury Composition: Battering And Bolstering Legitimacy, Leslie Ellis, Shari Siedman Diamond

Chicago-Kent Law Review

Impartiality is both elusive and important for the legitimacy of the jury and its decisions. After presenting a realistic version of impartiality that recognizes how jurors reach judgments, we present empirical evidence demonstrating the costs incurred when the promise of impartiality appears to be violated. We then evaluate various approaches aimed primarily at increasing the racial heterogeneity of juries. Finally, we describe a simplified, multimethod approach that combines improvements in source lists and a simple non-race-based geographic adjustment to improve the appearance and reality of jury impartiality by increasing jury heterogeneity.

A Voir Dire Of Voir Dire: Listening To Jurors' Views Regarding The Peremptory Challenge, Mary R. Rose

Chicago-Kent Law Review

The use of the peremptory challenge during jury selection continues to be a source of controversy, in part because critics are concerned about the attitudes and reactions of those allegedly excused on the basis of stereotypes, i.e., "for no reason." In the present research, a sample of people excused from criminal juries via the peremptory were followed-up and asked to speculate on why they were excused, as well as to rate their experience with jury selection on a number of dimensions. I hypothesized that even if all rationales involved some amount of "stereotyping," people's views about being excused should vary …

Ancient Egyptian Religion On The Silver Screen: Modern Anxieties About Race, Ethnicity, And Religion, Caroline T. Schroeder

College of the Pacific Faculty Articles

This essay examines the depiction of religion, race, and ethnicity in four films: The Mummy, Stargate, The Ten Commandments, and Prince of Egypt. Each film - explicitly or implicitly, deliberately or not - uses ancient Egyptian religion as a foil to dramatize American concerns about race and ethnicity. The foil is the mysterious, and often false, religiosity of an often Orientalized religious and ethnic "other."

Accountability And Ethics: Reconsidering The Relationships, Melvin J. Dubnick

Political Science

ABSTRACT

While a relationship between accountability and ethics has long been assumed and debated in Public Administration, the nature of that relationship has not been examined or clearly articulated. This article makes such an effort by positing four major forms of accountability (answerability, blameworthiness, liability and attributability) and focusing on the ethical strategies developed in response to each of these forms.

The Need For Revisions To The Law Of Wiretapping And Interception Of Email, Robert A. Pikowsky

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

I argue that a person's privacy interest in his email is the same as his privacy interest in a telephone conversation. Moreover, the privacy interest in email remains unchanged regardless of whether it is intercepted in transmission or covertly accessed from the recipient's mailbox. If one accepts this assumption, it follows that the level of protection against surveillance by law enforcement officers should be the same[...] As technology continues to blur the distinction between wire and electronic communication, it becomes apparent that a new methodology must be developed in order to provide logical and consistent protection to private communications. The …

Verdugo In Cyberspace: Boundaries Of Fourth Amendment Rights For Foreign Nationals In Cybercrime Cases, Stewart M. Young

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

This Comment examines the current legal framework governing Fourth Amendment rights for foreign nationals accused of committing crimes within the United States. Over the past three years, federal courts have tried several cases charging foreign nationals with committing crimes through the use of the Internet; these cases demonstrate a lack of clarity in the standard for warrant requirements regarding these searches. Utilizing these cases, this Comment creates a hypothetical case that presents the issues of Fourth Amendment rights for foreign nationals and seeks to determine how such a question should be answered. It advocates the clear application of United States …
