Media Coverage Of Law: Its Impact On Juries And The Public, Valerie P. Hans, Juliet Dee
Media Coverage Of Law: Its Impact On Juries And The Public, Valerie P. Hans, Juliet Dee
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Because most of the public has little direct experience with the justice system, public knowledge and views of law and the legal system are largely dependent on media representations. The media provide many lessons about law and justice. In the average American household, a TV set is on for over 7 hours each day, and individual members of the family watch television for about 3 hours. Television news and police and crime dramas account for a substantial amount of incidental learning about the nature of the legal system. Newspapers and films also contribute to the public's knowledge and attitudes about …
Criminal Law, Frank C. Mills Iii
Criminal Law, Frank C. Mills Iii
Mercer Law Review
In the hundreds of cases reviewed for this survey, there were few earthshaking decisions. DNA evidence has arrived in Georgia, and the year and- a-day rule has left. Nevertheless, there are more noteworthy cases than can be adequately addressed in this survey. There are plenty of pitfalls for the unwary. In fact the most notable trend is the ever-increasing number of challenges to former counsel. Prosecutors, defense counsel, and courts are well-advised to use the Checklist for Unified Appeals as a guide in any criminal case.
Due to the significance of the Checklist for Unified Appeal, the author uses a …
Implementing Corruption Prevention Strategies Through Codes Of Conduct, Mark Findlay, Andrew Stewart
Implementing Corruption Prevention Strategies Through Codes Of Conduct, Mark Findlay, Andrew Stewart
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The concept of a code of conduct, as it appears in corruption prevention strategies, could be viewed as rather misleading. While dealing with conduct in some preferred or preemptive sense, these frameworks for "guidelines" bear little resemblance to prescriptive legal codes.

Legal Images Of Battered Women: Redefining The Issue Of Separation, Martha R. Mahoney
Legal Images Of Battered Women: Redefining The Issue Of Separation, Martha R. Mahoney
Michigan Law Review
Part I of this article discusses violence in the ordinary lives of women, describing individual and societal denial that pretends domestic violence is rare when statistics show it is common, and describing the ways in which motherhood shapes women's experience of violence and choices in response to violence. Part II examines definitions of battering and evaluates their effectiveness at disguising or revealing the struggle for control at the heart of the battering process. I then describe in Part III the pressures that self-defense and custody cases place on legal and cultural images of battered women and contrast the development of …

Burnham V. Superior Court Of California The Transient Jurisdiction Rule's Much Prophesied Death Sentence Is Commuted To Life, Todd P. Davis
Burnham V. Superior Court Of California The Transient Jurisdiction Rule's Much Prophesied Death Sentence Is Commuted To Life, Todd P. Davis
Mercer Law Review
In Burnham v. Superior Court of California, the Supreme Court attempted to determine whether the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment denied a state court from exercising personal jurisdiction over a nonresident, who was personally served with process while temporarily in that state, in a suit unrelated to his activities in the state. The Court, however, could only concur in the judgment issued by the lower court because it failed to agree upon the method of analysis necessary to resolve the issue before it. Justice Scalia, joined by Chief Justice Rehnquist and Justice Kennedy announced the judgment of …
Minnick V. Mississippi: Additional Protection For The Criminal Defendant, Gabe Hotard Jr.
Minnick V. Mississippi: Additional Protection For The Criminal Defendant, Gabe Hotard Jr.
Mercer Law Review
In Minnick v. Mississippi, the United States Supreme Court held that when counsel is requested by an accused in custody, interrogation of the accused must cease, and officials may not re-initiate interrogation without counsel present, whether or not the accused has consulted with his attorney. The privilege against self-incrimination as guaranteed by the fifth amendment and as developed into its modern form nearly a quarter-century ago in Miranda v. Arizona provided the backbone of the Supreme Court's decision. The Court's holding clarifies the previously unclear issue of whether counsel's presence on behalf of an accused is required at any interrogation …
Should Michigan Rule Of Evidence 703 Be Revised?, Brian Benner, Ronald L. Carlson
Should Michigan Rule Of Evidence 703 Be Revised?, Brian Benner, Ronald L. Carlson
Popular Media
Technical witnesses regularly assist the fact-finding process in Michigan trials. Jury or bench trials in federal and state courts routinely feature the appearance of experts. Properly policed by our courts, few forms of testimony hold more promise for advancing the truth-seeking function of American litigation. The expanding presence of experts raises hard questions. Are the Michigan rules in turn with modern needs? Should the state rule controlling the basis for expert opinion be aligned with the federal pattern? If Michigan Rule of Evidence 703 could stand revision, does proper alteration require significant additions not presently contained in either state or …
Shame, Culture, And American Criminal Law, Toni M. Massaro
Shame, Culture, And American Criminal Law, Toni M. Massaro
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this Article is to analyze whether this link is one that American criminal court judges can, or should, exploit. I begin with a description of the new shaming sanctions and the possible justifications for this type of penalty. I then identify both psychological and anthropological aspects of the phenomenon of shame, or "losing face." I describe several cultures in which shaming practices are, or were, significant means of sanctioning behavior, and outline the shared features of these cultures.
These psychological and anthropological materials, taken together, suggest that shaming practices are most effective and meaningful when five conditions …
Bright Lines, Dark Deeds: Counting Convictions Under The Armed Career Criminal Act, James E. Hooper
Bright Lines, Dark Deeds: Counting Convictions Under The Armed Career Criminal Act, James E. Hooper
Michigan Law Review
The Armed Career Criminal Act of 1984 (ACCA) enables the federal government to help state authorities more effectively prosecute "career criminals.'' The ACCA imposes a mandatory sentence of at least fifteen years, and up to life imprisonment, for illegal possession of a firearm by anyone who has three prior convictions for violent felonies or serious drug offenses "committed on occasions different from one another."
To apply the ACCA, judges must determine first whether the defendant's prior convictions meet the definitions of "violent felony or serious drug offense," and secondly whether the offenses were committed on different occasions so that they …
Private Plaintiffs' Use Of Equitable Remedies Under The Rico Statute: A Means To Reform Corrupted Labor Unions, Randy M. Mastro, Steven C. Bennett, Mary P. Donlevy
Private Plaintiffs' Use Of Equitable Remedies Under The Rico Statute: A Means To Reform Corrupted Labor Unions, Randy M. Mastro, Steven C. Bennett, Mary P. Donlevy
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I of this Article outlines the government's approach to civil RICO actions involving labor unions, including an overview of the government's prior civil RICO actions and a summary of the types of issues that often arise in such actions. Part II examines the unique issues involved in a civil RICO action brought by a private plaintiff. The principal issue addressed in this Part is whether a private plaintiff can bring an action under the equitable remedies provisions of the RICO statute. This Part also addresses the issues of how a private plaintiff can gain access to information that may …
Criminal Discovery, Scientific Evidence, And Dna, Paul C. Giannelli
Criminal Discovery, Scientific Evidence, And Dna, Paul C. Giannelli
Vanderbilt Law Review
"At bottom the case against Claus von Bilow was a scientific case. It would have to be refuted by scientific evidence,"' wrote Alan Dershowitz. The von Bilow case is not alone. Many recent notorious criminal trials involved scientific proof. For example, the prosecution offered hypnotically refreshed testimony and bite mark evidence in the Ted Bundy case. Fiber evidence proved critical in the trial of Wayne Williams for the murder of two of the thirty young black males killed in Atlanta in the late 1970s.' Other illustrations include the pathology and serology testimony in the Jean Harris trial, the forensic analysis …

Liability For Provincial Offences: Fault, Penalty And The Principles Of Fundamental Justice In Canada (A Review Of Law Reform Proposals From Ontario, Saskatchewan And Alberta), Bruce P. Archibald
Dalhousie Law Journal
While the Canadian Criminal Code is presently in the process of thorough going reform by the federal government, one should not lose sight of the important reforms being proposed in several Canadian provinces to the legal regimes governing provincial offences. A need for reform to provincial offence regimes is evident in relation to both substance and procedure, although the approaches to solving problems in both spheres has traditionally differed from province to province. At the level of procedure, some provinces have been content to enforce their provincial offences through the expedient of adopting by reference the procedures found in Part …
