Claiming Illegal Electronic Surveillance: An Examination Of 18 U.S.C. 3504(A)(1), Margaret V. Sachs

Scholarly Works

This Comment will first discuss the making of claims under section 3504(a)(1), and will show that the statute should not be read to require that claims be accompanied by evidentiary support. It will then suggest that the statute should be read to encompass claims of attorney-third party conversations. Finally, the scope of the government's response to section 3504(a)(I) claims will be examined.

04-13-1976 Memorandum To The Conference, Byron R. White

Carey v. Sugar, 425 U.S. 73 (1976)

This is an appeal from a three-judge court decision sustaining the constitutionality of a Tennessee pre-judgement wage-garnishment statute against a claim that it failed to provide for notice and a hearing prior to the garnishment. The statute permits wage garnishments, as a means of obtaining in rem jurisdiction where efforts to obtain in personam jurisdiction over a defendant fail.

My dear Mr. Justice:

Having just read the Per Curiam opinion in Carey v. Sugar, 44 LW 4416, I must ssay to you that it is, in my view, one of the grandest cop-outs that has occured since Pilate washed his hands.

Carey v. Sugar, 425 U.S. 73 (1976)

Dear Byron,

I am glad to join your proposed Per Curiam and see no reason why it should not be a signed opinion.

Section 12 Of The Canada Evidence Act And The Deliberations Of Simulated Juries, Valerie P. Hans, Anthony N. Doob

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In the past, there have been three major approaches to the experimental investigation of the jury. First, juror selection research involves the study of the relation between verdicts or leniency toward certain classes of defendants and the characteristics of potential jurors. The second class of research is group study, in which the amount and style of individual participation is observed within the context of simulated jury deliberations (e.g., Strodtbeck, James and Hawkins, 1957). Finally, experimental psychology has made another contribution to the study of the jury; numerous researchers have conducted experimental studies employing legal stimulus materials.

Buckley v. Valeo, 424 U.S. 1 (1976)

Dear Chief:

I have read over your proposed oral announcement in this case, and it is entirely agreeable to me. I would suggest that, of you agree, it be used only as the format for an oral announcement, and not be duplicated or released to the public in any written form. If it were, I fear that its six pages would soon come to supersede in the minds of lawyers and laymen alike the 130 page opinion that the Court has produced.
