In Search Of The Virtuous Prosecutor: A Conceptual Framework, Stanley Z. Fisher
In Search Of The Virtuous Prosecutor: A Conceptual Framework, Stanley Z. Fisher
Faculty Scholarship
Questions about the scope and content of the duty to "seek justice" pervade prosecutorial work. Prosecutors are required to serve in a dual role: they are both advocates seeking conviction and "ministers of justice." Observers have complained about a tendency on the part of prosecutors to prefer the former of these "schizophrenic" obligations to the latter. This is commonly described as a tendency to behave overzealously or according to a "conviction psychology. ' "

Bright Line Seizures: The Need For Clarity In Determining When Fourth Amendment Activity Begins, Edwin J. Butterfoss

Professor Goldsmith's arguments are not persuasive.
Mistake In The Model Penal Code: A False False Problem, George P. Fletcher
Mistake In The Model Penal Code: A False False Problem, George P. Fletcher
Faculty Scholarship
No solution seems more gratifying to the modern theorist than to claim that an apparently serious problem is not really a problem at all. By branding nonfalsifiable propositions as nonsense, the Vienna circle of logical positivists discovered that the metaphysical concerns of others were really false problems. By ridding philosophy of false problems, Wittgenstein thought that he could let the fly escape from the bottle; he could release the philosophical spirit from its confounding constraints.
