Vice Presidential Secrecy: A Study In Comparative Constitutional Privilege And Historical Development, Roy E. Brownell Ii

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

Ultimately, this Article concludes that, while Vice Presidents have become embroiled in ever more frequent contests over information, VPP has not been officially invoked. Nonetheless, episodes involving Vice Presidents Humphrey, Agnew, Rockefeller, and Cheney all to varying degrees seem to have implicitly recognized that such a privilege exists; in this vein, they would appear to have “reserved the right” for future Vice Presidents to make such an assertion. At a broader level, the growing frequency of these clashes over the past several decades demonstrates the growing significance of the vice presidency over time and the position’s greater involvement in …

Putting Melendez-Diaz On Ice: How Autopsy Reports Can Survive The Supreme Court's Confrontation Clause Jurisprudence, George M. Tsiatis

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

This Note examines how the Supreme Court’s holding in the Melendez-Diaz case has impacted autopsy reports as evidentiary tools in criminal cases. Part I offers some background on autopsy reports and forensic pathology, discusses key evidentiary rules, and the history of the Sixth Amendment’s Confrontation Clause leading up to Melendez-Diaz. Part II explores the breadth and consequences of Melendez-Diaz, particularly as they impact autopsy reports. Part III analyzes how autopsy reports differ fundamentally from many other types of forensic reports, notably because of policy issues they implicate. Finally, Part IV defines and presents the “lean rule” as …

What's In A Name? Transnational Corporations As Bystanders Under International Law, Jena Martin Amerson

St. John's Law Review

(Excerpt)

By giving TNCs the “bystander” name, this Article attempts to take the rhetoric out of its sound-bite environment and examine it for what it is: a strategy with implications for corporate accountability. This Article attempts to distinguish the “bystander” label that TNCs employ, which conveys the idea of the innocent bystander, and the name of the bystander that this Article would like to adopt, which contemplates a party that is complicit to the underlying action even when it is inactive. The term “rhetoric” employed throughout this Article is used as a more generic term for discussions of TNCs within …

St. John's Law Review

Part I of this Note details the background of the New York antiterrorism statute. It explains the relevant legislative history, as well as the structure and wording of the statute.

Juvenile Penalties For “Lawyering Up”: The Role Of Counsel And Extralegal Case Characteristics, Gaylene Armstrong, Bitna Kim

Criminology and Criminal Justice Faculty Publications

The presence of counsel for juveniles in the courtroom seems advantageous from a due process perspective, yet some studies suggest that juveniles receive harsher dispositions when represented by an attorney. This study tested whether a “counsel penalty” existed regardless of attorney type and, guided by prior sentencing literature, used a more comprehensive model to determine the influence of extralegal and contextual factors that may amplify the counsel penalty. Utilizing official data from a Northeastern state in a multilevel modeling strategy, this study found that regardless of the type of counsel retained, harsher sentences were received as compared with cases in …
