Opening The Door To The Grand Jury: Abandoning Secrecy For Secrecy's Sake, George Edward Dazzo Mar 1995

Opening The Door To The Grand Jury: Abandoning Secrecy For Secrecy's Sake, George Edward Dazzo

University of the District of Columbia Law Review

The grand jury in the United States is hailed by its proponents as an indispensable buffer of protection from malicious and unfounded prosecution by the State. Critics, however, liken the investigatory body to a rubber stamp of the prosecutor, analogous to early English grand jurors who were subject to the influences of the Monarch. Criticism of the grand jury often focuses on the grand jury's potential for oppression rather than protection of the individual.' In particular, it is the secrecy of the grand jury that sparks the most debate.'

Should Courts Impose Rico's Pretrial Restraint Measures On Substitute Assets?, James M. Rosenthal Mar 1995

Should Courts Impose Rico's Pretrial Restraint Measures On Substitute Assets?, James M. Rosenthal

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that courts should not apply RICO's pretrial restraint measures to substitute assets. Part I examines the text of RICO's forfeiture provisions in light of recent rulings by the Supreme Court providing guidance in interpreting the statute. Part I concludes that the statute's plain meaning limits pretrial restraint measures to tainted assets. Part II examines language in the legislative history of an earlier attempt to add a substitute asset provision to RICO and in the 1984 change from broad to specific language in the pretrial restraint provision. From this language, Part II concludes that Congress did not intend …


Critiquing The Legal Order In The Name Of “Critical Morality”, Julius Cohen Mar 1995

Critiquing The Legal Order In The Name Of “Critical Morality”, Julius Cohen

Cardozo Law Review

The moral criticism of the legal order has been a longtime sport (serious), if not an industry, for law teachers, theorists, judges, and other legal functionaries. In the process, they often reach for criteria beyond those utilized in conventional morality. Sometimes the reach "beyond" is ad hoc; sometimes it is accompanied by an awareness that it is toward a pattern of a higher-level, critical morality. The reach beyond is often triggered by a need to resolve conflicts within conventional morality. Or it is a function of the distrust of some of the sources of conventional morality, such as prejudice, unrefined …


People V. Hicks: Sentencing Laws And Sex Offenses - A Disingenuous Approach By The California Supreme Court, Michael A. Barmettler Feb 1995

People V. Hicks: Sentencing Laws And Sex Offenses - A Disingenuous Approach By The California Supreme Court, Michael A. Barmettler

San Diego Law Review

This Casenote questions the holding in People v. Hicks, a California Supreme Court decision in December 1993, which held that sex offenders are subject to multiple full-term consecutive sentences for both non-sex and sex offenses. The author argues that this decision exceeds the interpretive limits of the sex offender sentencing statutes in California. Based on a potentially applicable statutory prohibition regarding multiple punishments, this holding is criticized for abusing the court's interpretive authority. In addition, this decision is argued to open the door to a potential dramatic increase in sentences that the legislature never intended.

Policing Federal Prosecutors: Do Too Many Regulators Produce Too Little Enforcement, Bruce A. Green Jan 1995

Policing Federal Prosecutors: Do Too Many Regulators Produce Too Little Enforcement, Bruce A. Green

St. Thomas Law Review

This Article focuses on how standards of prosecutorial conduct are enforced. As will be discussed, the process for sanctioning wrongful conduct of federal prosecutors is structurally inadequate. Federal prosecutors are subject to discipline by as many as four different authorities. Yet, each of the available disciplinary mechanisms is itself deficient. Furthermore, the diffusion of responsibility among different mechanisms compounds the problem.
