Political Battles For Judicial Independence, William H. Rehnquist Aug 1975

Political Battles For Judicial Independence, William H. Rehnquist

Washington Law Review

There is a tendency among present and former law students to think that the development of the nature and extent of the authority of the federal judiciary, and of the Supreme Court of the United States in particular, may be found in the celebrated cases decided by that Court. To an extent this is undoubtedly true. However, at least two major political struggles in this nation have had as much to do with defining the nature of the judicial power in the federal system as anybut a handful of the major decisions of the Supreme Court. No reported judicial decision …

Law, Morality And The Judge: Robert M. Cover's Justice Accused, Raymond L. Faust Apr 1975

Law, Morality And The Judge: Robert M. Cover's Justice Accused, Raymond L. Faust

IUSTITIA

The intellectual world of the nineteenth century judge was one in which the two main concerns relevant to our topic here were what the judge's role ought to be in the evolution of law in a democratic society, and whether a recognition and application of 'natural law' was ever appropriate to a legal system. Professor Cover reviews exhaustively the eighteenth and nineteenth century sources from which American judges drew their ideas on these subjects, and studies practically all of the antebellum slavery litigation to discover how judges actually applied these doctrines in the context of slavery cases. What he comes …


Compensation Of The Federal Judiciary: A Reexamination, Elliot A. Spoon Jan 1975

Compensation Of The Federal Judiciary: A Reexamination, Elliot A. Spoon

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The compensation of the federal judiciary has been a persistent issue since the enactment of the Judiciary Act of 1789. The problem has been traditionally perceived in the context of particular proposals for salary increases, but the underlying issues are much more fundamental than the concerns of the day. The institutional arrangements by which judicial compensation is determined and the factors which shape that determination have a profound impact on the fiscal and human resources of the judiciary, on the power relationships among the three branches of the national government, and, thereby, on the independence and quality of the judicial …


Judicial Selection In New York: A Need For Change, James Edward Lozier Jan 1975

Judicial Selection In New York: A Need For Change, James Edward Lozier

Fordham Urban Law Journal

On February 27, 1974 Chief Judge Charles D. Breitel of the New York State Court of Appeals addressed the New York Legislature regarding the "State of the Judiciary and Judicial System" and presented dramatic proposals for the reform of the New York state court system. In resurrecting the problem of court reform, the Chief Judge focused in part on one particularly controversial area-the selection of the judiciary. New Yorkers, as well as many other Americans, have become increasingly cognizant of the problem of inefficient administration of the judicial system by some of our nation's state and federal judges. A full …


Federal Magistrates And The Implications Of Consensual References, Eileen J. Mccabe Jan 1975

Federal Magistrates And The Implications Of Consensual References, Eileen J. Mccabe

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The significance of the magistrate in the efficient operation of the federal court system makes it important to analyze the extent of the magistrate's powers as well as the limitations placed thereon. This note will examine the matters which may properly be referred to a magistrate and the standard of review which is used when the magistrate's decision goes before the district court. A major consideration in this discussion will be whether parties, by their consent, can expand the scope of magistrate's powers.
