"Delaware Is Not A State": Are We Witnessing Jurisdictional Competition In Bankruptcy?, Marcus Cole

Vanderbilt Law Review

Over the last twelve years, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware has experienced exponential growth in the number of bankruptcy filings for large corporate debtors. This relatively recent rise in Delaware bankruptcy venue cannot, on its face, be explained by Delaware's eighty-five-year preeminence in the race for corporate charters, since the advantages most often postulated for Delaware's dominance in corporate law do not carry over to corporate bankruptcy. The state has limited influence over federal bankruptcy law and virtually no control over the selection of federal bankruptcy judges. This rise of Delaware bankruptcy venue, or Delawarization …

An Historical Perspective On Judicial Selection Methods In Virginia And West Virginia, Alex B. Long

Scholarly Works

This Article explores the history of judicial selection methods in Virginia and West Virginia - two states, once joined, with distinct cultures and very different judicial selection methods. In an attempt to explain how the two states ended up with such different systems, the Article focuses on the constitutional conventions in those states between 1829 and 1902 and the debates that took place on the subject of popular election of judges versus an appointive system.

Note On The Neutral Assignment Of Federal Appellate Judges, Carl Tobias

San Diego Law Review

Neutral Assignment of Judges at the Court of Appeals (Neutral Assignment) substantially increases comprehension of the federal intermediate appellate courts. The most striking aspect of the recent article by Professor J. Robert Brown, Jr. and Ms. Allison Herren Lee is the revelation of new information which strongly suggests that the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit did not randomly assign members of the federal bench to three-judge panels which heard cases involving desegregation and that this practice facilitated substantive results which favored integration. The material's release may well provoke controversy; however, Neutral Assignment is much more than …

The Inside Scoop: What Federal Judges Really Think About The Way Lawyers Write, Kristen Konrad Robbins-Tiscione

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

A recent survey indicates that what troubles federal judges most is not what lawyers say but what they fail to say when writing briefs. Although lawyers do a good job articulating legal issues and citing controlling, relevant legal authority, they are not doing enough with the law itself. Only fifty-six percent of the judges surveyed said that lawyers “always” or “usually” make their client’s best arguments. Fifty-eight percent of the judges rated the quality of the legal analysis as just “good,” as opposed to “excellent” or “very good.” The problem seems to be that briefs lack rigorous analysis, and the …

Proceedings of a criminal trial in Dallas, Texas, demonstrate the vulnerability of LGBT individuals to judicial bias. Although the jury convicted the defendant of murdering two gay males, the judge explained his light sentence: "I put prostitutes and gays at about the same level, and I'd be hard put to give somebody life for killing a prostitute . . . had [the victims] not been out there trying to spread AIDS, they'd still be alive today . . . These two guys that got killed wouldn't have been killed if they hadn't been cruising the streets picking up teen-age boys …
