Victimless Crimes: A Proposal To Free The Courts, Robert C. Boruchowitz Jan 1973

Victimless Crimes: A Proposal To Free The Courts, Robert C. Boruchowitz

Faculty Articles

Victimless "crimes"—acts that are presently outside the law but which have no readily identifiable victim—account for almost half of the cases handled by United States courts. They include behavior which may reflect illness and which requires medical and therapeutic attention (such as drunkenness), as well as behavior condemned as varying from moral or social standards and leading to harmful behavior (such as vagrancy and curfew violations). If the burden of regulating this type of behavior were removed from the criminal justice system, perhaps one half of the courts' current case load could be eliminated. Furthermore, persons caught in deviant conduct …

Achieving Prompt Criminal Trials In New York, W. David Curtiss Dec 1972

Achieving Prompt Criminal Trials In New York, W. David Curtiss

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

During the past two years there have been several significant developments in New York related to achieving prompt trials in criminal prosecutions. These developments, which include judicial decisions, administrative rules and legislative enactments, come into special focus when delay in the trial of criminal cases is attributable to calendar congestion and the need for additional personnel and facilities. This article will examine these decisions, rules and statutes, with particular reference to their relationship to basic principles of judicial administration.

The Pauper--Short-Changed At The Jury Box, Jeffrey J. Yost Sep 1972

The Pauper--Short-Changed At The Jury Box, Jeffrey J. Yost

West Virginia Law Review

Fear of governmental domination prompted the founders of the United States to restrict governmental interference with individual liberties. Indeed, the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to prohibit tampering with preferred freedoms. One such prohibition is that no citizen can be deprived of his life, liberty or property solely upon governmental accusations. Such deprivation can follow only after determination of guilt by a jury of the individual's peers. However, West Virginia statutorily denies paupers this fundamental right to a trial by their peers. This denial constitutes an invidious discrimination violative of the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

Voter Registration Lists: Do They Yield A Jury Representative Of The Community, Fred A. Summer Jan 1972

Voter Registration Lists: Do They Yield A Jury Representative Of The Community, Fred A. Summer

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The passage of the Federal Act was primarily a response to the inability of the prevailing jury selection process to achieve the goal of a representative jury. The Act requires that voter registration lists be used as the primary source of names for jury selection in federal courts. A similar provision applicable to state courts is included in the Uniform Jury Selection and Service Act, adopted by the Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws in 1970.6 This article will examine the rationale and effectiveness of the use of voter registration lists as a means of achieving the goal of …

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1972

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.


Excessive Delay In The Courts: Toward A Continuance Policy Relating To Counsel And Parties, Thomas O. Gorman Jan 1972

Excessive Delay In The Courts: Toward A Continuance Policy Relating To Counsel And Parties, Thomas O. Gorman

Cleveland State Law Review

The maxim "Justice delayed is justice denied" is an expression which is becoming all too meaningful in our courts today. Many of the large metropolitan courts in this country are being strangled by the ever-increasing backlog of cases. ...In most court systems, continuance policies are either non-existent or couched in vague terms such as "good cause shown.' It is the aim of this study to formulate guidelines for a sound continuance policy which will serve to speed the administration of justice without interfering with the high standard of judicial fairness necessary to proper adjudication.

The Equity Side Of The Exchequer: Its Jurisdiction, Administration, Procedures, And Records, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

The equity side of the court of exchequer "is by far the most obscure of all the English jurisdiction," declared Plucknett. The purpose of this essay is to shed some light upon this court and to explore its jurisdiction, to introduce its staff, to discover its procedures, to explain its equity records, and perhaps to render Plucknett's statement obsolete.

Searching For The Intent Of The Framers Of Fourteenth Amendment , Robert J. Kaczorowski

Faculty Scholarship

IN 1946 JUSTICE HUGO BLACK DECLARED that one of the objects of the fourteenth amendment was to apply the Bill of Rights to the States. He was confident that an analysis of the intent of the framers of the amendment would support his assertion. A few years later the Supreme Court requested such an investigation, but when the analysis was made and the results presented to it, the Supreme Court concluded that the framers' intent could not be determined. The uncertainty surrounding the intent of the framers of the fourteenth amendment has had profound implications on the application of that …
