Increasing Balance On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1995

Increasing Balance On The Federal Bench, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

In President Bill Clinton's first year of service, he nominated unprecedented numbers and percentages of highly qualified women and minorities to the federal judiciary. The Clinton Administration correspondingly employed an effective process for choosing potential jurists that generated relatively little controversy.

Some wondered whether President Clinton could improve his first year judicial selection record during his second year in office, especially given the number of international conflicts and pressing domestic matters that faced the Administration. These complications threatened to deflect the Administration's attention from naming judges.

Now that the 103d Congress has adjourned and President Clinton has reached mid-term, the …

Strong Criticism Of The American System Of Trial By Jury, Yale Kamisar Jan 1995

Strong Criticism Of The American System Of Trial By Jury, Yale Kamisar

Articles

I grieve for my country to say that the administration of the criminal law in all the states in the Union (there may be one or two exceptions) is a disgrace to our civilization.


What's An Opinion For? (Special Issue: Judicial Opinion Writing), James Boyd White Jan 1995

What's An Opinion For? (Special Issue: Judicial Opinion Writing), James Boyd White

Articles

The question the papers in this Special Issue address is whether it matters how judicial opinions are written, and if so why. My hope here is to suggest a way of elaborating the ques­tion that may provide the reader with a useful point of departure for reading the more extensive papers that follow.

Restrictions On Publication And Citation Of Judicial Opinions: A Reassessment, Robert J. Martineau Oct 1994

Restrictions On Publication And Citation Of Judicial Opinions: A Reassessment, Robert J. Martineau

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In response to the "crisis of volume," state and federal appellate courts have been restricting the opinions they write to those opinions which will: (1) establish a new. rule of law or expand, alter, or modify an existing rule; (2) involve a legal issue of continuing public interest; (3) criticize existing law; or (4) resolve a conflict of authority. All other opinions are limited to brief statements of the reasons for the decision, go unpublished, and generally carry a prohibition against their being cited as precedent. Recently, critics have alleged a number of faults with this practice, including the supposed …


After Daubert: Going Forward With Lessons From The Past, Marc S. Klein Apr 1994

After Daubert: Going Forward With Lessons From The Past, Marc S. Klein

Cardozo Law Review

Ground zero in the ongoing battle over scientific evidence in toxic tort cases has clearly shifted in light of Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. In that case, the Supreme Court settled at least two profound issues. One has immediate practical consequences, the other has important philosophical implications.


The Supreme Court’S View Of Science: Has Daubert Exorcised The Certainty Demon?, Bert Black Apr 1994

The Supreme Court’S View Of Science: Has Daubert Exorcised The Certainty Demon?, Bert Black

Cardozo Law Review

The Supreme Court's mandate in Daubert that experts who give testimony based on science must confine themselves to valid scientific knowledge seems tautologically obvious, and hardly an issue requiring the attention of the nation's nine highest judges. The debate that led to Daubert was generated, however, by opponents of judicial screening who argued that holding experts to scientific standards somehow imposes an undue burden of proof on plaintiffs, especially in toxic tort cases - and the Supreme Court's decision has not put the issue completely to rest. Science, according to this "relaxed standards" argument, demands certainty far beyond the law's …

Under The Influence: Responses Of The New Jersey Supreme Court To Drunk Driving Cases--A Study Of Management Influence On Judicial Decisions, Martin L. Haines Jan 1994

Under The Influence: Responses Of The New Jersey Supreme Court To Drunk Driving Cases--A Study Of Management Influence On Judicial Decisions, Martin L. Haines

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article is not written in defense of drunk drivers - they have no defense. It is written in defense of due process, which the courts, by constitutional mandate, must provide to al defendants including drunk drivers. It is a mandate the New Jersey Supreme Court has ignored, thereby encouraging the appearance of an over-eagerness to convict. Too often, the court has curtailed the liberties of DWI defendants, speeding convictions, and therefore dispositions, to further the demands of efficiency.

Supervisory Power Of The New York Courts, Bennett L. Gershman Jan 1994

Supervisory Power Of The New York Courts, Bennett L. Gershman

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article discusses the role of supervisory power in the judicial culture of New York. In order to place supervisory power in a context, Part II outlines the emergence and decline of supervisory power in the federal system. Part III then traces the origin of supervisory power in New York to Cardozo's dictum in Lemon. Part IV explains how supervisory power is an aspect of the much broader inherent judicial power, which finds expression in the familiar common law decision-making process. Part V discusses three principal areas in which supervisory power has been exercised by New York courts since Cardozo: …

A Typology Of Transjudicial Communication, Anne-Marie Slaughter Jan 1994

A Typology Of Transjudicial Communication, Anne-Marie Slaughter

University of Richmond Law Review

Courts are talking to one another all over the world. Mary Ann Glendon describes a "brisk international traffic in ideas about rights," conducted by judges. "In Europe generally," she adds, "and in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, national law is increasingly caught up in a process of cross-fertilization among legal systems."


Dear Judge Mikva, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1994

Dear Judge Mikva, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

I am writing to urge that you apply in the executive branch the considerable expertise which you attained and honed over a lifetime of service in the legislative and judicial branches of our tripartite system of government, to the critical task of federal judicial selection that uniquely partakes of those coordinate branches.
