Financial Screening In Criminal Cases—Impractical And Irrelevant, William H. Fortune
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
In 1970 Chief Justice Burger, commenting on the work of the ABA Advisory Committee, compared the criminal justice system to a three-legged stool, one leg the judge, the second leg the prosecution, and the third leg the defense lawyer: "We concluded very quickly that that third leg in this context was as essential as the third leg of a stool. We have not quite said it ought to be jurisdictional that you have three parts to this enterprise but we have come very, very close to it." It is time to admit the overriding social need for attorney representation and …

Kentucky Penal Code: The Culpable Mental States And Related Matters, Robert G. Lawson
Kentucky Penal Code: The Culpable Mental States And Related Matters, Robert G. Lawson
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
All efforts to improve the criminal law of this commonwealth prior to 1972 were directed toward relatively narrow problems. Legislative changes in the law had been made from time to time, almost always without conscious regard for the manner in which related principles were affected.

Unjust and inequitable treatment of offenders was more prominent than its opposite. In some instances sanctions were clearly inadequate for the type of behavior sought to be controlled. In others they were grossly disproportionate to the social harms used to …
