The Indigent's Right To A Transcript Of Record, Larry Yackle Jan 1972

The Indigent's Right To A Transcript Of Record, Larry Yackle

Faculty Scholarship

There is no more fascinating subject in the field of federal constitutional law than the relationship between due process and equal protection, concepts brought together in the fourteenth amendment. Governmental action that is fundamentally unfair and a denial of due process may also involve discriminatory treatment and a denial of equal protection.' Accordingly, in a number of cases the distinction between the two concepts has been blurred. In Douglas v. California, the Supreme Court held that on first appeal counsel must be furnished to indigents at state expense because the failure to provide professional representation is both fundamentally unfair and …


A Study In The Treatment Of Crime And Law Enforcement In The United States As Compared To The European Countries., George E. Glos Dec 1971

A Study In The Treatment Of Crime And Law Enforcement In The United States As Compared To The European Countries., George E. Glos

St. Mary's Law Journal

The United States holds a comparably higher crime rate than European countries in the area of homicide, aggravated assault, robbery, burglary, and incitation of riots. This article explores the differences existing in the treatment of serious crimes in the leading systems of criminal law and law enforcement. This study examines how the United States, compared with European countries, define subcategories of major crimes and establish the penalties, defenses, and the access to relief attached to each crime. Contrasted with the provisions of the various states of the United States, the European provisions are simpler and carry stiffer penalties. The object …


Primary Requirements For The Application Of The Federal Writ Of Habeas Corpus And Its Problem Areas., L. Vance Stanton Dec 1971

Primary Requirements For The Application Of The Federal Writ Of Habeas Corpus And Its Problem Areas., L. Vance Stanton

St. Mary's Law Journal

Applications for issuance of writs of habeas corpus are among the most frequently filed petitions in federal courts. The substantial number of applications may be attributed to the fact that habeas corpus can be the fastest and most effective method which the law provides to insure an individual’s liberty. However, there are still areas within its framework that are unsettled. Specifically, there are two primary unsettled problems existing in federal habeas corpus proceedings, which include the certificate of probable cause and whether the federal rules apply to habeas corpus proceedings. The primary purpose of this article is to explain the …

Traditional Criminal Procedure In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher Oct 1971

Traditional Criminal Procedure In Ethiopia, Stanley Z. Fisher

Faculty Scholarship

In the decade 1955-1965 the Ethiopian government completely revolutionized its legal system by promulgating comprehensive legal codes and a new constitution. These laws have a predominantly Western flavor, and seem to bear little relation to the traditional patterns of life which still prevail in the Empire-one of the least "developed" areas of Africa. This state of affairs has led some to characterize the new codes as "fantasy law," which may serve to put a modern "face" on the country but, at least for some time to come, will not have any serious impact on the conduct of its affairs.

Right To Hearing Upon Extension Of Probation Jan 1971

Right To Hearing Upon Extension Of Probation

University of Richmond Law Review

Aside from the fact that its use was originally limited and random in nature, the historical origin of the probation process is uncertain. Revolutionary changes in the theories controlling the treatment of convicted criminals, however, has resulted in the development of probation into the most widely used form of correctional treatment.


Intrusion Into The Body, William G. Eckhardt Jan 1971

Intrusion Into The Body, William G. Eckhardt

Faculty Works

The thesis of this article is that the rights of servicemen should be protected with the search and seizure concepts of the fourth amendment rather than with the fifth amendment protection against self-incrimination when intrusive bodily searches are required. The Supreme Court enunciated standard for intrusion into the body found in Schmerber v. California, 384 U.S. 757 (1966). The subsequent application of this standard in the federal courts, and its adoption in the Manual for Courts-Martial, United States, 1969, (Rev.) are explored. Federal court decisions discussing the privilege against self-incrimination are contrasted with opinions of the Court of Military Appeals …

Codification, Reform, And Revision: The Challenge Of A Modern Federal Criminal Code, John L. Mcclellan Jan 1971

Codification, Reform, And Revision: The Challenge Of A Modern Federal Criminal Code, John L. Mcclellan

Journal Articles

The four chief factors influencing the quality of American justice were identified by Dean Roscoe Pound as personnel, administration, procedure, and the substantive law. It is certain that better judges, prosecutors, and enforcement officers, better organization of courts, better administrative methods, and more adequate administrative personnel must come first in any effective program for the improvement of our nation's system of criminal justice. At the same time, the men who staff that system will be guided by an authoritatively prescribed criminal procedure, and they will be giving effect to an authoritatively prescribed criminal law. An archaic code of procedure and …

Warrantless Searches And Seizures, Mack Allen Player Jan 1971

Warrantless Searches And Seizures, Mack Allen Player

Scholarly Works

The fourth amendment to the Constitution has two basic clauses. The first, the reasonableness clause, protects the people against unreasonable searches and seizures. The second, the warrant clause, sets forth conditions under which a warrant may issue. Searches and seizures made pursuant to a warrant are, quite obviously, governed by the commands of the warrant clause. However, the effect of the warrant clause upon searches and seizures made without warrants is not clear from the amendment itself, and the Supreme Court has failed to develop a consistent interpretation of the proper role of that clause.
