Civil Justice Reform And The Balkanization Of Federal Civil Procedure, Carl W. Tobias
Civil Justice Reform And The Balkanization Of Federal Civil Procedure, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
The recent civil war ripping apart Yugoslavia is a trenchant reminder of the horrors of balkanization. Without trivializing the Yugoslavian experience, the term balkanization usefully applies to developments in American federal civil procedure that now threaten the continued viability of a uniform, simple system of procedure. Thirty-four federal courts' nascent implementation of the Civil Justice Reform Act (CJRA) of 1990 will exacerbate these developments; indeed, if the remaining sixty districts that must issue civil justice expense and delay reduction plans by December 1993 fail to halt this trend, the Act will further fragment procedure. This article cautions those responsible for …

Up In Smoke: Fourth Amendment Rights And The Burger Court, Gerald S. Reamey
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. …
International Judicial Assistance, Christopher L. Blakesley
International Judicial Assistance, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
The general or even specialized practitioner faces serious difficulties as the world shrinks and the practice of law frequently transcends international boundaries. In the civil and commercial arena, issues of discovery and service of documents abroad, others relating to judicial assistance from foreign courts, available to American courts or individual litigants, and assistance available from American courts for foreign governments and individual litigants, can be mindboggling. In an age where transnational litigation (that is, domestic litigation that touches upon one or more foreign jurisdictions) is rapidly increasing, counsel could be guilty of malpractice if counsel takes action abroad that proves …
The Need For An International Criminal Court In The New International World Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
The Need For An International Criminal Court In The New International World Order, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
Any inquiry into the merits of an international criminal court must start with resolving three basic issues:
1. Can the tribunal improve international cooperation in law enforcement, add to the capabilities of the various nations in matters of international criminal law, or contribute in any incremental way to the solution of international and transnational criminal law problems by improving the current practice and enhancing the effectiveness of all concerned?
2. Will the recommended system have a better or equal chance of operating as effectively as the best existing systems of national criminal justice?
3. Will the recommended system improve efficiency …
Civil Justice Planning In The Montana Federal District, Carl W. Tobias
Civil Justice Planning In The Montana Federal District, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
The Montana Federal District Court recently finalized its civil justice expense and delay reduction plan under the Civil Justice Reform Act (CJRA) of 1990. In April, 1992, the Montana District essentially adopted whole cloth, and made effective, the civil justice plan that it had issued in December, 1991 to qualify for designation as an Early Implementation District Court (EIDC). Relatively few members of the Montana Bar exhibited much interest in the planning effort that preceded promulgation of the civil justice plan. Because the new procedural regime that the Montana District instituted could significantly change the character of federal court practice, …
The New East European Constitutional Courts, Herman Schwartz
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.
Sanctions, Symmetry, And Safe Harbors: Limiting Misapplication Of Rule 11 By Harmonizing It With Pre-Verdict Dismissal Devices, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Sanctions, Symmetry, And Safe Harbors: Limiting Misapplication Of Rule 11 By Harmonizing It With Pre-Verdict Dismissal Devices, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
With only a small risk of overstatement, one could say that sanctions in civil litigation exploded during the 1980s, with the 1983 amendment to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 acting as the principal catalyst. From 1938 until the 1983 amendment, only two dozen or so cases on Rule 11 were reported, with courts rarely imposing sanctions. Although a few cases were notable by virtue of sanction size, prestige of the firm sanctioned, or publicity attending the underlying case, the legal profession largely regarded Rule 11 as a dead letter. In addition, other sanctions provisions, such as Federal Rule of …

Appeals On The Merits, Terence G. Ison
Appeals On The Merits, Terence G. Ison
Osgoode Hall Law Journal
This article deals with the limitations of judicial review and the possibilities of its augmentation or replacement by a regime of appeals on the merits. The author questions some assumptions that are commonly made about appellate structures. He criticizes the "broad-brush approach" and warns that there is no panacea. The article explains why any broad regime of appeals on the merits from tribunals to courts of general jurisdiction is not an available option, and it discusses alternative structures of appeals to tribunals. Finally, it explains why it would be irresponsible to propose any appellate structure covering any substantive subject except …
