Standards For Accepting Guilty Pleas To Misdemeanor Charges, Richard A. Kopek

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The guilty plea-not the trial-is the most common manner of disposing of criminal cases in America. It has been estimated that 90 percent of all convictions and 95 percent of misdemeanor convictions are the result of guilty pleas. Various reasons have been advanced to explain this heavy reliance on the guilty plea. For example, it avoids the drain on judicial resources that would occur if all cases had to be tried. In addition, it eliminates the risks and uncertainties of trials and permits flexibility in sentencing. Because of the prevalence of guilty pleas, there must be procedural safeguards to insure …

Compensation Of The Federal Judiciary: A Reexamination, Elliot A. Spoon

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The compensation of the federal judiciary has been a persistent issue since the enactment of the Judiciary Act of 1789. The problem has been traditionally perceived in the context of particular proposals for salary increases, but the underlying issues are much more fundamental than the concerns of the day. The institutional arrangements by which judicial compensation is determined and the factors which shape that determination have a profound impact on the fiscal and human resources of the judiciary, on the power relationships among the three branches of the national government, and, thereby, on the independence and quality of the judicial …

Special Project, Harold V. Morgan, Jr.

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Of the institutions common to the European Communities, probably none has had greater impact on European integration than the Court of Justice. Throughout its case law, the Court has consistently emphasized the federal character of Community law and the secondary importance of national law of the Member States in areas covered by the establishing treaties. Especially in recent years as economic expansion has slowed and Member States have reverted to national rather than federal solutions to fiscal and political dilemmas, the Court remains the most forceful exponent and practitioner of the Common Market and European policy.

In response to the …

Information On The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, J. A. Stoll

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Hearings of the Court comprise a calendar of public hearings, drawn up on a weekly basis. It is, however, sometimes necessary subsequently to change dates. The Hearings of the Court in French may be ordered from the Registry of the Court free of charge. (This calendar, which is only a guide, is hardly of any use to anyone residing in the United States.)

Jurisdiction And Procedure Of The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities, Robert A. Buchanan

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

The Court of Justice of the European Communities is the final adjudicatory body for questions arising under the three Community treaties--the European Economic Community Treaty (EEC), the European Coal and Steel Community Treaty (ECSC), and the European Atomic Energy Community Treaty (EUR-ATOM). Since none of the treaties confers upon the Court the power to adjudicate questions involving the domestic laws of Member States, the Court's jurisdiction extends only to interpretation of Community law. Basically, the jurisdiction of the Court can be divided into the following subject areas: actions against Member States, actions against Community institutions, claims for damages against the …

Abstention: The Supreme Court And Allocation Of Judicial Power, Randall P. Bezanson

Vanderbilt Law Review

In an era of continually expanding federal judicial power, the Supreme Court has fashioned and employed several devices designed to delegate certain classes of federal question litigation to the state court systems. Among these devices are the doctrines of abstention, comity, and exhaustion of state remedies. Implementation of these doctrines has enabled the Supreme Court to maintain state judicial presence in federal question litigation and retain at least the appearance of a manageable federalized judicial structure. This article will attempt to analyze the function of the abstention doctrines as judicially-created tempering devices. Following a brief discussion of the factors that …
