Achieving Prompt Criminal Trials In New York, W. David Curtiss

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

During the past two years there have been several significant developments in New York related to achieving prompt trials in criminal prosecutions. These developments, which include judicial decisions, administrative rules and legislative enactments, come into special focus when delay in the trial of criminal cases is attributable to calendar congestion and the need for additional personnel and facilities. This article will examine these decisions, rules and statutes, with particular reference to their relationship to basic principles of judicial administration.

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Although administrative agencies have been created to provide expeditious determinations of matters that courts and legislatures could not handle, delay still continues.

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Hearing examiners are a vital element in the federal administrative process. The quality of administrative justice, as perceived by the citizens who are affected by Government, is greatly influenced by their actions.

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The Why, Where And How Of Broadened Public Participation In The Administrative Process, Roger C. Cramton

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Yet affected persons and groups are not always accorded the opportunity to participate in decision making procedures that affect them. Mr. Cramton argues that broadened public participation will improve administrative decisions and give them greater legitimacy and acceptance. After discussing the types of proceedings in which public participation is desirable and the limitations that should be placed upon it, Mr. Cramton evaluates various proposals for assuring the desired degree of public participation.
