Wrongful Convictions: It Is Time To Take Prosecution Discipline Seriously, Ellen Yaroshefsky
Wrongful Convictions: It Is Time To Take Prosecution Discipline Seriously, Ellen Yaroshefsky
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Ron Williamson, who came within five days of execution, and Dennis Fritz, who served twelve years of a life sentence, were released from prison in 1999. They were innocent men, wrongfully convicted of the rape and murder of Debra Carter. Arrested five years after her murder and tried separately, the cases against them rested on testimony of a jailhouse informant, a jail trainee, and unreliable hair evidence. Fortunately, there was DNA evidence in the case, and scientific testing exonerated Fritz and Williamson. The evidence instead implicated Glen Gore, the person who should have been the prime suspect. Many of these …
How Racial Profiling And Other Unnecessary Post-9/11 Anti-Immigrant Measures Have Exacerbated Long-Standing Discrimination Against Latino Citizens And Immigrants, Katherine Culliton
How Racial Profiling And Other Unnecessary Post-9/11 Anti-Immigrant Measures Have Exacerbated Long-Standing Discrimination Against Latino Citizens And Immigrants, Katherine Culliton
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Latinos are uniting with other immigrant communities and people of color in being extremely concerned about unnecessary post-9/11 actions that have led to civil liberties and civil rights violations.1 Although the Latino voting power has presumably increased, infringements of Latinos' and Latinas' civil rights appear to be on the rise. This is because many of the measures taken in the name of fighting terrorism have not been effective at finding terrorists, but have resulted in civil liberties and civil rights violations. Lessening of civil liberties and due process protections disproportionately affects Latino communities, who are less likely to have access …

Balancing Security And Access In The Nation's Capital: Managing Federal Security-Related Street Closures And Traffic Restrictions In The District Of Columbia, D.C. Appleseed Center For Law And Justice
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
This report was prepared in December 2003 in order to stimulate a dialogue on the role the District of Columbia government should play with the federal government in attempting to achieve an appropriate balance between physical security and open access to public space when deciding on traffic restrictions around or near federal buildings or federal sites in the District of Columbia. A summary of this report was presented at the UDC/DCSL Law Review November 2003 symposium "In the Aftermath of September 11: Defending Civil liberties in the Nation's Capital." Since this report was prepared there has been an ebb and …
Broken Trust And Divided Loyalties: The Paradox Of Confidentiality In Corporate Representation, Laurie A. Morin
Broken Trust And Divided Loyalties: The Paradox Of Confidentiality In Corporate Representation, Laurie A. Morin
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Should a lawyer protect her client's confidences when she knows that client is about to perpetrate a fraud that will cause substantial financial harm to third parties? For decades, the response of the organized bar has been a resounding "yes." 1 Until August 2003, the American Bar Association's (ABA's) Model Rules of Professional Conduct (Model Rules) provided that a lawyer owes her client a duty of loyalty to preserve the client's confidences, even if that client is about to commit a criminal fraud.2 The recent wave of corporate scandals that led to record-breaking bankruptcies and investor losses prompted the ABA …
Job Security And Bargaining Rights Of Federal Government Employees, Mark D. Roth, Gony Frieder, Anne Wagner
Job Security And Bargaining Rights Of Federal Government Employees, Mark D. Roth, Gony Frieder, Anne Wagner
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
From the beginning of his administration, President George Walker Bush undertook to curtail employment rights, particularly those previously enjoyed by federal government workers. In the wake of the September 11th attacks, however, the Bush Administration was able to launch a full-scale attack on federal employment rights under the guise of national security. While the expansion of government power in the name of national security has come under substantial media and political scrutiny, much of this attention has focused on the threat posed to individual rights. Increased federal power under the USA PATRIOT Act' and other measures2 ostensibly intended to enhance …

Understanding Lawyers' Ethics: Zealous Advocacy In A Time Of Uncertainty, Katherine S. Broderick
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
Can or should a lawyer representing an alleged terrorist ethically allow the government to tape her conversations with her client as a prerequisite to the representation? Can a public defender live up to the promise of Gideon v. Wainright1 when he is carrying 100 serious felony cases? Should a lawyer who divulges a client confidence to bring down a corrupt judge be sanctioned? What ethical obligations obtain for the lawyer representing the CEO of a thriving start-up when the CEO admits that by over-reporting profits he believes that he has turned the company around? These questions, some of the toughest …

The Chimera And The Cop: Local Enforcement Of Federal Immigration Law, Michael M. Hethmon
The Chimera And The Cop: Local Enforcement Of Federal Immigration Law, Michael M. Hethmon
University of the District of Columbia Law Review
The questions of if, when, and how local police can enforce federal immigration laws go to the heart of the legal hunt for the chimera that is contemporary American immigration law.1 In the opening years of this century, the estimated illegal alien population in the United States has reached historic levels. The national response to the attacks of September 11, 2001 transformed what had been largely a municipal conflict between ethnic organizations, the immigration bar, and local governments in high-immigration jurisdictions into a much larger national debate about national security, civil liberties, and federalism.z After the devastating attacks on the …
