The Problem Of The Drinking Driver, Roger C. Cramton
The Problem Of The Drinking Driver, Roger C. Cramton
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Everyone talks about the drinking driver, and everyone thinks he knows what to do about him. But, Professor Cramton says, the scientifically reliable knowledge we now are acquiring indicates that our legal approaches of deterrence and punishment fail to strike at the heart of the problem and are ineffective. He offers some suggestions for a new course.

The Law Of Presumptions: A Look At Confusion, Kentucky Style, Robert G. Lawson
The Law Of Presumptions: A Look At Confusion, Kentucky Style, Robert G. Lawson
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Over the years the term “presumption” has been used by virtually all courts to “designate what are more accurately termed inferences or substantive rules of law.” It has also been used as a “loose synonym for presumption of fact, presumption of law, rebuttable presumption, and irrebuttable presumption.” To this list the Kentucky Court of Appeals had added mandatory presumption, presumptive evidence, and prima facie case. Perhaps of more significance than the indiscriminate use of terminology is the extent to which courts have used “presumptions” to describe judicial reasoning of various kinds and to perform chores more appropriate to unrelated procedural …

Variations On The Theme Of Dombrowski V. Pfister: Federal Intervention In State Criminal Proceedings Affecting First Amendment Rights, Marc Stickgold
Variations On The Theme Of Dombrowski V. Pfister: Federal Intervention In State Criminal Proceedings Affecting First Amendment Rights, Marc Stickgold
Publications
One of the most rapidly changing and complex areas of the law revolves around the propriety and wisdom of federal court ((interference" with state court proceedings involving first amendment rights. Mr. Stickgold examines the doctrine being evolved in this area, centering the discussion around Dombrowski v. Pfister and cases that have followed it. The author reports that several courts have not followed the Dombrowski mandates, and consequently, fundamental first amendment freedoms are not adequately protected.

Introduction To The Symposium: Riots, Joseph O'Meara
Introduction To The Symposium: Riots, Joseph O'Meara
Journal Articles
This is the tenth in our series of annual symposia, each dealing with a highly controversial problem of urgent national concern. Of these ten symposia, this is the third having to do with crime. The extent of our concern with this cancerous problem is demonstrated by that fact. My own belief is that the rising incidence of crime is our country's number one domestic problem.
The Consent Problem In Wiretapping & Eavesdropping: Surreptitious Monitoring With The Consent Of A Participant In A Conversation, Kent Greenawalt
The Consent Problem In Wiretapping & Eavesdropping: Surreptitious Monitoring With The Consent Of A Participant In A Conversation, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
The extent to which American society should permit wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping has been considered by judges, legislators and scholars for many years, although this consideration has yet to result in legal rules that respond rationally and consistently to the conflicting demands of privacy and effective law enforcement. Constitutional analysis has, until very recently, relied on concepts like "physical invasion of a constitutionally protected area," producing distinctions with little relation to underlying social values; statutory restrictions on wiretapping have been much more severe than those imposed on eavesdropping, though the latter, particularly in light of the rapidly developing technology, poses …
On Interpreting The Ethiopian Penal Code, Peter L. Strauss
On Interpreting The Ethiopian Penal Code, Peter L. Strauss
Faculty Scholarship
The aim of this article is to set out and discuss some general principles of interpreting the Ethiopian Penal Code – that is to say, of using it. Even now, ten years after it came into effect, many people have difficulty in understanding and using the Penal Code in a straightforward way. It seems complex, and many of its fundamental conceptions are unfamiliar to Ethiopian lawyers. This article, discussing at length how the code is built, may help reduce its apparent complexity and thus facilitate its day-to-day application.
Theft, Law And Society -- 1968, Jerome Hall
Theft, Law And Society -- 1968, Jerome Hall
Articles by Maurer Faculty
The law of theft has long been the most complicated branch of the criminal law, writes Mr. Hall, and this is so in the face of the fact that crimes against property can he estimated safely as accounting for 90 per cent of all genuine crime in this country. The Model Penal Code has done much to simplify the law of theft and to eliminate outmoded distinctions, the author concedes, but he maintains that distinctions still must be recognized among the various types of theft, the persons involved in theft and the appropriate penalties for various crimes against property. Improvement, …

The Process Of Penal Law Reform—A Look At The Proposed Michigan Revised Criminal Code, Jerold H. Israel
Articles
T HE subject of this symposium, the proposed Michigan Revised Criminal Code (Proposed Code),' is the product of a three-year study by a Joint Committee of the State Bar. The study was undertaken pursuant to a 1964 resolution of the State Bar Commissioners calling for a "complete revision of the criminal code to redefine crimes and penalties."'2 The Joint Committee is an extraordinarily large group, being composed of members of both the standing Criminal Jurisprudence Committee and the Special Code Revision Committee.' Its membership reflects great diversity in viewpoint and professional interests, including not only prosecutors, defense attorneys and judges, …

The Presumption Of Innocence In The Soviet Union, George P. Fletcher
The Presumption Of Innocence In The Soviet Union, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
The presumption of innocence is a curious item in the baggage of Western legal rhetoric. Revered today here and abroad, it has become a standard clause in international testimonials to the rights of man. Yet, at first blush, it seems conceptually anomalous and irrelevant in practice. It is hardly a presumption of fact – a distillation of common experience; statistics betray the suggestion that men indicted on criminal charges are likely to be innocent. Nor is it a legal rule masquerading as an irrebuttable presumption; it is rebuttable by proof beyond a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt. Further, it …

Two Kinds Of Legal Rules: A Comparative Study Of Burden-Of-Persuasion Practices In Criminal Cases, George P. Fletcher
Two Kinds Of Legal Rules: A Comparative Study Of Burden-Of-Persuasion Practices In Criminal Cases, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
Good men everywhere praise the presumption of innocence. And be they Frenchmen, Germans, or Americans, they agree on the demand of the presumption in practice. Both here and abroad, the state's invocation of criminal sanctions demands a high degree of proof that the accused has committed the offense charged. To express the requisite standard of proof, common lawyers speak of the prosecutor's duty to prove his case beyond a reasonable doubt. And Continental lawyers invoke the maxim in dubio pro reo – a precept requiring triers of fact to acquit in cases of doubt.
The French speak of the presomption …
