Advice And Consent: Ensuring Judicial Freedom, Patrick J. Leahy Jan 1992

Advice And Consent: Ensuring Judicial Freedom, Patrick J. Leahy

University of Richmond Law Review

Throughout this nation's history, Americans have turned to the Supreme Court to protect their rights against excesses of the legislative and executive branches. To protect this crucial role of the Court, the Framers realized that neither the executive nor the legislature should have the power to cast the Court in its own image. To prevent this usurpation of one branch by another, the Framers wisely required the President to obtain the advice and consent of the Senate in making appointments to the Supreme Court.

Judiciary: Know Thy Place, Thomas L. Jipping Jan 1992

Judiciary: Know Thy Place, Thomas L. Jipping

University of Richmond Law Review

Alexander Hamilton wrote in The Federalist No.78 that the judiciary "has no influence over ... the purse."' Yet in Missouri v. Jenkins, the Supreme Court approved indirect judicial taxation. Hamilton wrote that the judiciary "will always be the least dangerous" and "beyond comparison the weakest" branch of government. Yet in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court created out of nothing a right to choose abortion, invalidated the abortion laws of all fifty states developed over more than a century, and shut millions of Americans out of the process of developing public policy on this important political issue. Hamilton wrote that …

Up In Smoke: Fourth Amendment Rights And The Burger Court, Gerald S. Reamey Jan 1992

Up In Smoke: Fourth Amendment Rights And The Burger Court, Gerald S. Reamey

Faculty Articles

When Warren Burger was appointed Chief Justice in 1969, he was expected to lead the Supreme Court away from its liberal, value-laden approach to constitutional adjudication. Indeed, a retrospective of the court’s work during the seventeen years Warren Burger served as Chief Justice reveals the expected conservative trend of the Chief Justice himself, as well as the Supreme Court generally. It does not, however, reflect wholesale rejection of the most controversial civil liberties decisions rendered by the Warren Court. It is also unclear that Chief Justice Burger was responsible for the Court’s retrenchment on civil liberties where it did occur. …


An Emerging Conception Of Fundamental Rights In Contemporary Russia, Mary Holland Jan 1992

An Emerging Conception Of Fundamental Rights In Contemporary Russia, Mary Holland

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article explores the emergence of a new conception of fundamental rights in post-Soviet Russia, marking a significant shift from a totalitarian regime to a more democratic, rule-of-law-based system. This transformation is evident through the adoption of key legal documents: the Declaration of Rights and Freedoms, the Conception of Judicial Reform, and the Law on the Constitutional Court. These reforms reflect a rejection of the Soviet legal tradition, alignment with international human rights standards, and a re-emergence of pre-revolutionary Russian legal ideals. The article argues that these developments signify a fundamental change in the Russian legal framework, emphasizing individual rights …


Some Preliminary Thoughts On Long-Range Planning For The Federal Judiciary, Thomas E. Baker Jan 1992

Some Preliminary Thoughts On Long-Range Planning For The Federal Judiciary, Thomas E. Baker

Faculty Publications

Professor Baker gives his prescription for the Long-Range Planning Committee of the Judicial Conference. First, he considers the "mission" of the federal courts, explaining that there should be no single, objectively correct conception of the role of the federal courts. Second, he discusses his conception of long-range planning, in terms of a relatively short event horizon and the absolutely wide-open scope of the range of proposals that are relevant to the work of the Committee. Third, he describes his preliminary thoughts on the role of the Committee to be a kind of permanent Federal Courts Study Committee modeled after comparable …


The New East European Constitutional Courts, Herman Schwartz Jan 1992

The New East European Constitutional Courts, Herman Schwartz

Michigan Journal of International Law

This article will describe some aspects of the different tribunals in Russia, Hungary, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Bulgaria, and Romania, and will compare them with each other and with the U.S. Supreme Court. The first part will begin by explaining a few basic differences between the American and Continental systems of judicial review, and will then describe the functions of the new East European constitutional courts. The second part will use the decisions of the new Russian Constitutional Court to illustrate the new courts' exercise of authority, and will summarize the recent activities of a few other new constitutional courts.


Cameras In Virginia Courtroom, Teresa D. Keller Jan 1992

Cameras In Virginia Courtroom, Teresa D. Keller

University of Richmond Law Review

On July 1, 1992, Virginia joined forty other states by allowing cameras into state courtrooms on a permanent basis. A pilot program had been underway since 1987, allowing news coverage by television cameras, audio recorders, and still cameras in a handful of state courtrooms. Lawmakers had extended the experiment twice, delaying a permanent decision in the face of varying opinions about the success of the program. The Supreme Court of Virginia issued two reports over the five year span indicating the pilot program had produced a negative effect on the judicial process. Broadcasters, on the other hand, consistently claimed the …


Conservative Supreme Court: Its Impact On Traditional Values, Donald E. Wildman, Benjamin W. Bull Jan 1992

Conservative Supreme Court: Its Impact On Traditional Values, Donald E. Wildman, Benjamin W. Bull

University of Richmond Law Review

Most court watchers agree that the changing composition of the Supreme Court will ineluctably favor the interests of traditional values organizations like the American Family Association. The next decade will surely see the Court return to a more balanced approach in line with the preservation of family values. Certainly some will characterize the new Court as more conservative. To the extent that it will emphasize core principles in the Constitution as the bedrock from which it must proceed, it will be conservative. Yet this is simply a return of the Court to its intended function: interpretation and application of law …
