SUMMARY: This class action challenges the validity under federal law of California's "transfer-of-assets" rule governing eligibility for Medi-Cal benefits. It is straight-lined with Barbara Blum v Ethel Caldwell, 79-2034, which involves the New York "transfer-of-assests" rule.

Criminal Liability For Complicity In Abortions Committed Outside Ireland, Mark Findlay

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The legislative provisions which make it an offence to procure a miscarriage unlawfully or assist in the unlawful procurement are to be found in sections 58 and 59 or the Offences Against the Person Act 1861. In recent years the most common way for an Irish woman to obtain an abortion has been to leave the Republic and obtain such an operation in Britain, where the restrictions imposed on the medical profession with regard to performing operations are far less onerous. How then would the Irish courts view secondary parties to such extra-territorial activities?

Student Representation Of Indigent Defendants And The Sixth Amendment: On A Collision Course, Robert M. Hardaway

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

This article will review the parallel patterns of development of clinical education and the sixth amendment, highlighting areas in which the practices of the former either conflict, or contain the potential for conflict with the latter. An analysis will be made of the present legal status of law student representation of indigent criminal defendants, with reference primarily to constitutional and sixth amendment considerations, but also to such related matters as the confidentiality of student-client communications, law student professional responsibility, and the applicability to students of state bar disciplinary rules. Finally, guidelines will be proposed regarding the proper scope of student …

The Differential Sentencing Of White-Collar Offenders In Ten Federal District Courts, Ilene Nagel Bernstein, John Hagan, Celesta Albonetti

Articles by Maurer Faculty

While sociologist have long debated the relationship between the status characteristics of criminal offenders and the sentences they receive, they have done so with data sets drawn from state courts whose prosecutorial resources are focused almost entirely on low status defendants. Qualitative and quantitative data analyzed in this paper are drawn from ten federal district courts whose statutes and resources provide greater potential for the prosecution of the white-collar crimes of higher status offenders. Three questions are addressed: (1) Are there substantial jurisdictional differences in the prosecution of white-collar cases? if so, (2) Are there corresponding jurisdictional differences in the …

Harmless Error: Constitutional Sneak Thief, Steven H. Goldberg

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

"Harmless constitutional error" is among the most insidious of legal doctrines. Since its promulgation by the United States Supreme Court in Chapman v. California, it has determined as many criminal appeals as have some of the more well-known and hotly debated decisions of the 1960s. Despite the frequency of its use in determining criminal appeals-possibly as high as ten percent of all criminal appeals during the last thirteen years it has received comparatively little critical attention. The reason for the inattention? It's a sneak thief. Its appearance does not raise apprehension, and its application does not leave concentrated areas of …

Due Process Versus Data Processing: An Analysis Of Computerized Criminal History Information Systems, Donald L. Doernberg

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

Based on their empirical study of New York's computerized criminal history information system and on their national surveys of similar systems, Professors Doernberg and Zeigler conclude that current regulations governing the dispersion of criminal history information are grossly inadequate. Although information drawn from computerized criminal history files is often inaccurate, incomplete, or inappropriate, that information is routinely used by criminal justice officials and judges to make decisions affecting defendants'liberty. The authors argue that this practice is unconstitutional and suggest ways to regulate criminal history information suystems that would protect a defendant's right not to be deprived of liberty without due …

Solipsism And Criminal Liability, Ira Robbins

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

A viable legal system and a free society can endure and progress only by continuing to debate fundamental principles. Thus, often it is useful to return to underlying precepts in order to refine and comprehend more fully the contemporary state of knowledge. This article posits the case of the solipsist-one who denies the existence of all physical reality and maintains that his own ego alone exists-as a criminal defendant. Others, most notably Professor Lon L. Fuller, have expounded upon the manifold ways in which certain harsh necessities, externally impose upon common people, can test the rules of the criminal law. …
