Removing The Roadblocks To Successful Domestic Violence Prosecutions: Prosecutorial Use Of Expert Testimony On The Battered Woman Syndrome In Ohio, Matthew P. Hawes
Cleveland State Law Review
This note contends that Ohio should join the modern trend and allow expert testimony on the battered woman syndrome in a limited form in domestic violence prosecutions. Part II of this note explores the syndrome and its origins. Part III provides background on the evidentiary uses of the syndrome in Ohio. It discusses the emergence of the battered woman syndrome in Ohio courts, and then examines the unsuccessful initial attempts by prosecutors in Ohio to use expert testimony on the syndrome.Part IV looks at how several jurisdictions outside of Ohio have addressed this issue. Part V presents the argument that …

“Testimonial” And The Formalistic Definition: The Case For An “Accusatorial” Fix, Robert P. Mosteller
“Testimonial” And The Formalistic Definition: The Case For An “Accusatorial” Fix, Robert P. Mosteller
Faculty Scholarship
The definition that the Supreme Court ultimately gives to the concept of testimonial statements will obviously be of critical importance in determining whether the new Confrontation Clause analysis adopted by Crawford affects only a few core statements or applies to a broader group of accusatorial statements knowingly made to government officials and perhaps private individuals at arm's length from the speaker. I contend that the broader definition is more consistent with the anti-inquisitorial roots of the Confrontation Clause when that provision is applied in the modern world. If my sense of the proper scope of the clause is roughly correct, …

Effective Use Of War Stories In Teaching Evidence, Michael L. Seigel
Effective Use Of War Stories In Teaching Evidence, Michael L. Seigel
UF Law Faculty Publications
There are many ways to teach any law course successfully, including Evidence. It can be approached from a very theoretical perspective or a very practical one. Some professors still use the tried and true case method, while others have moved more toward a problem-oriented approach. Others use movie clips to illustrate important points. A minority of professors have even adopted a NITA approach, essentially teaching Evidence through Trial Practice. This Essay does not advocate any particular method for teaching Evidence. It does take the position, however, that if an Evidence professor has some practical experience, he or she would be …

Outdated Form Of Evidentiary Law: A Survey Of Dead Man's Statutes And A Proposal For Change, Ed Wallis
Cleveland State Law Review
In order to understand why Dead Man's statutes should be amended by state legislatures, it is important to look at the historical context of Dead Man's statutes and how they have been handled, interpreted and applied in different states. Consequently, Part II of this paper presents an historical outline of Dead Man's statutes; Part III surveys nine states that currently have a common law Dead Man's statute; Part IV analyzes the weaknesses behind the Dead Man's statute; Part V presents three separate alternatives that states should consider adopting in lieu of their current Dead Man's statutes. Finally, part VI concludes …

The Allure And Danger Of Practicing Law As Taxonomy, Marcia L. Mccormick
The Allure And Danger Of Practicing Law As Taxonomy, Marcia L. Mccormick
All Faculty Scholarship
In this article, I hope to contribute to the ongoing debate on how our society treats the problem of discrimination. Many scholars have criticized the types of antidiscrimination statutes we have enacted as well as the ways in which the courts have interpreted those laws. While I agree with many of these critiques, rather than tackle those very large issues at the outset, I focus on the test the courts currently use to evaluate the evidence to determine whether an inference can be made that discrimination has occurred. I argue that lawyers and courts have become so caught up in …
The Rule In Hodge's Case: Rumours Of Its Death Are Greatly Exaggerated, Benjamin Berger
The Rule In Hodge's Case: Rumours Of Its Death Are Greatly Exaggerated, Benjamin Berger
Articles & Book Chapters
Certain academic commentators and Canadian courts have announced the death of the rule in Hodge's Case. The author challenges this proclamation of death, observing that Hodge's rule is a particular manifestation of the epistemology that informs our law of evidence. He argues not only that the rule is doctrinally intact, but that the principles and spirit that animate Hodge's rule have broad influence in our law of evidence and have utility in the appellate review of unreasonable verdicts. Hodge's rule, Hodge-like reasoning, and the associated epistemology, are alive and well in Canada.
The Chorus Of Liars: Opsahl V. State Of Minnesota, David T. Schultz
The Chorus Of Liars: Opsahl V. State Of Minnesota, David T. Schultz
William Mitchell Law Review
A recanting witness is a liar. Either he lied at trial or he is lying now. When the recanting witness’s new story is joined by others, so that his solo is now a chorus, the judicial system must find the delicate balance between fairness to society and protection of the individual defendant’s rights. When the case is old and the recanting witnesses many, the difficulty of finding that balance is even greater. Such were the circumstances facing the Minnesota Supreme Court when, in 2004, it heard the case of Darby Opsahl, a man convicted in 1992 of a murder that …

Juror Bias Is A Special Problem In High-Profile Trials, Valerie P. Hans
Juror Bias Is A Special Problem In High-Profile Trials, Valerie P. Hans
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Scott Peterson's jury convicted him and sentenced him to death. Whether he had a fair jury is a question that the appellate courts will confront as they review Peterson's appeal of his conviction and sentence. Would the jury have reached the same decisions if the case had not been so extensively covered in the media? Or was Scott Peterson condemned by media publicity? Whatever your verdict, the Peterson trial provides yet another example of the hurdles to fair trials in high-profile cases.

Is Alternative Dispute Resolution Really An Alternative For Federal Employees?: Possible Suggestions For Encouraging Federal Employees To Participate In Adr Programs, Lisa Pell
Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
This Note will examine the various dispute resolution programs employed by the federal government. Part One of this Note will look at the different federal programs and determine their usefulness. Part Two will establish that ADR is not being used to its potential. Part Three will discuss the reasons for the low ADR usage. Part Four will suggest options for increasing ADR usage in federally implemented programs. Finally, Part Five will conclude that if the federal agencies took advantage of their own programs, the possibilities for change are great.

A Brave New World Of Criminal Justice: Neil Gerlach's Genetic Imaginary, Stephen Coughlan
A Brave New World Of Criminal Justice: Neil Gerlach's Genetic Imaginary, Stephen Coughlan
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
In this well written and intriguing book, Neil Gerlach asks why the criminal justice system has accepted DNA evidence in much the same way that our Anglo-Saxon predecessors accepted trial by ordeal. Why have we not instead shown the same caution we show polygraph evidence? To be sure, he does not present the issue in those terms, and might shudder at the analogy. Still, the central issue he pursues in the book is the question of how DNA evidence has managed to assume its current aura of infallibility, as evidence which is somehow uniquely objective and "true": how it has …

Recently, the Texas Supreme Court has embraced an important recapitulation of the scope of evidentiary review in cases governed by the preponderance of the evidence standard of review. A similar approach has been applied by the court to cases controlled by the clear and convincing evidence standard of review. This article explores and explains these important developments.
Confrontation After Crawford, Richard D. Friedman
Confrontation After Crawford, Richard D. Friedman
Articles
The following edit excerpt, drawn from "The Confrontation Clause Re-Rooted and Transformed," 2003-04 Cato Supreme Court Review 439 (2004), by Law School Professor Richard D. Friedman, discusses the impact, effects, and questions generated by the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Crawford v. Washington last year that a defendant is entitled to confront and cross-examine any testimonial statement presented against him. In Crawford, the defendant, charged with attacking another man with a knife, contested the trial court's admission of a tape-recorded statement his wife made to police without giving him the opportunity to cross-examine. The tiral court admitted the statement, and …
The Hillmon Case, The Macguffin, And The Supreme Court, Marianne Wesson
The Hillmon Case, The Macguffin, And The Supreme Court, Marianne Wesson
Publications
The case of Mutual Life Insurance Company v. Hillmon is one of the most influential decisions in the law of evidence. Decided by the Supreme Court in 1892, it invented an exception to the hearsay rule for statements encompassing the intentions of the declarant. But this exception seems not to rest on any plausible theory of the categorical reliability of such statements. This article suggests that the case turned instead on the Court's understanding of the facts of the underlying dispute about the identity of a corpse. The author's investigations into newspaper archives and the original case documents point to …
