Judicial Efficiency And Improvement, Assembly Committee On Judiciary
Judicial Efficiency And Improvement, Assembly Committee On Judiciary
California Assembly
The subject of today's hearing is judicial efficiency and improvement. The problem of court congestion and delay continues to concern all of us interested in our State's courts. Over the past several years, numerous studies and proposals aimed at improving our judicial system have been suggested, yet there continues to be a strongly held belief by some people that our courts need to be more efficient and that the judicial system moves too slowly. As part of the Assembly Judiciary Committee's effort to get an overview of the nature of court congestion and delay, the Committee has invited parties and …

Modern Unilateral Contracts, Mark Pettit
Modern Unilateral Contracts, Mark Pettit
Faculty Scholarship
Why would anyone write about unilateral contracts today? After all, Karl Llewellyn argued convincingly more than forty years ago' that unilateral contracts are rare and unimportant and should be relegated to the "freak tent. ' 2 Academics, he said, created the "Great Dichotomy" between unilateral and bilateral contracts; lack of support for the unilateral contract idea in the cases required those academics to illustrate the concept with ridiculous hypotheticals about climbing greased flagpoles and crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. The drafters of the Second Restatement of Contracts thus considered it a step forward when they not only minimized the importance of …

The Legal/Extra-Legal Controversy: Judicial Decisions In Pretrial Release, Ilene H. Nagel
The Legal/Extra-Legal Controversy: Judicial Decisions In Pretrial Release, Ilene H. Nagel
Articles by Maurer Faculty
This study analyzes data for state criminal defendants prosecuted in New York to determine the bases upon which judges make pretrial release decisions for these defendants. Treating statutory law as defining the category of legal variables, it finds legal factors substantially affect decisions about whether to release a defendant on recognizance, the amount of bail required, and whether to offer a defendant a cash alternative to a surety bond. The impact of these factors varies, however, depending upon the particular decision being made. Factors not prescribed in the statute-extra-legal factors—are also found to affect these pretrial release decisions. Their impact, …

Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch
Recent Developments In West German Civil Procedure, William B. Fisch
Faculty Publications
The most comprehensive description of the West German civil litigation system to appear in United States law journals, a much-admired, practice-oriented work by two United States law professors and a Hamburg judge, was published twenty-five years ago. At that moment, a commission of experts, appointed in 1955 by the Federal Ministry of Justice and called the Commission to Prepare a Reform of Civil Justice, was already deep into a thorough reexamination of the entire West German system. The stimuli for this reexamination were the eternal devils of judicial procedure everywhere: technicality, inaccessibility, and above all, delay and cost. In 1961, …

Error Correction, Lawmaking, And The Supreme Court’S Exercise Of Discretionary Review, Arthur D. Hellman
Error Correction, Lawmaking, And The Supreme Court’S Exercise Of Discretionary Review, Arthur D. Hellman
Articles
Controversies involving the United States Supreme Court generally center on the content of Court’s decisions, but in recent years, much attention has focused on the Court’s processes – in particular, two very different aspects of the Court’s modes of doing business. At one end of the spectrum, the number of cases receiving plenary consideration – full briefing, oral argument, and (almost invariably) a signed opinion – has shrunk to levels lower than any since the Civil War. At the other end, the Court has effectively resolved many high-profile disputes through unexplained orders granting or denying emergency relief in cases in …
