Crime, Community Penalty And Integration With Legal Formalism In The South Pacific, Mark Findlay
Crime, Community Penalty And Integration With Legal Formalism In The South Pacific, Mark Findlay
Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law
The influence of introduced legality on prevailing culture, and vice versa, are common concerns for analysis when considering the existence and development of customary law. Much of the limited writing on law and custom prefers to speculate on the impact of introduced law on already present modes of regulation. While recognising these structuralist contexts of influence, often oversimplified as they are represented, this paper prefers to explore the adaptation of legal formalism in contexts of resilient and resonant custom.Further, the paper examines instances where despite the fact that custom has modified institutional legality, the latter claims predominance over culture or …

Outlawing Outcasts: Comparative Perspectives On The Differing Functions Of The Criminal Law Of Slavery In The Americas, Robert J. Cottrol
Outlawing Outcasts: Comparative Perspectives On The Differing Functions Of The Criminal Law Of Slavery In The Americas, Robert J. Cottrol
Cardozo Law Review
This is a commentary on some issues raised by Anthony De V. Phillips's "Doubly Condemned": Adjustments to the Crime and Punishment Regime in the Late Slavery Period in the British Caribbean Colonies and Judith K. Schafer's "Under the Present Mode of Trial, Improper Verdicts are Very Often Given": Criminal Procedure Trials of Slaves in Antebellum Louisiana, both of which appear in this volume. Both discussions highlight the role of criminal law, procedure, and punishment in helping to sustain systems of African and Afro-American chattel slavery in New World societies. They provide interesting contrasts between civil and common law approaches to …
Juror Delinquency In Criminal Trials In America, 1796-1996, Nancy J. King
Juror Delinquency In Criminal Trials In America, 1796-1996, Nancy J. King
Michigan Law Review
This article examines two aspects of the jury system that have attracted far less attention from scholars than from the popular press: avoidance of jury duty by some citizens, and misconduct while serving by others. Contemporary reports of juror shortages and jury dodging portray a system in crisis. Coverage of recent high-profile cases suggests that misconduct by jurors who do serve is common. In the trial of Damian Williams and Henry Watson for the beating of Reginald Denny, a juror was kicked off for failing to deliberate; Exxon, Charles Keating, and the man accused of murdering Michael Jordan's father all …
The Good Polity Today Constituting Law And Society After The Cold War, Graham Walker
The Good Polity Today Constituting Law And Society After The Cold War, Graham Walker
Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
The article explores the challenges of constructing a just and livable political society in the post-Cold War era, focusing on the tension between the global aspiration for liberal democracy and the resurgence of ethnic, religious, and moral claims. It examines how these competing forces shape political reconstruction and the search for a "good polity," emphasizing the need to learn from contemporary experiences and theoretical reflections.

Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski
Washington Defendants' New Right Of Pre-Trial Flight, Christopher T. Igielski
Seattle University Law Review
Certainly, it is only by disregarding the "victim's rights" that one can begin to fathom the Washington Supreme Court's decision in State v. Jackson. This decision reversed the conviction of a man who raped his four-year-old niece on Christmas Eve in 1979, causing her to contract gonorrhea. Following his arraignment, Jackson fled and failed to appear at his trial. After attempts to locate Jackson failed, a trial was held in absentia' and he was found guilty of rape, with sentencing suspended pending his return to custody. Jackson evaded the law for nearly thirteen years.'0 Shortly after his eventual capture …
Novel Theories Of Criminal Defense Based Upon The Toxicity Of The Social Environment: Urban Psychosis, Television Intoxication, And Black Rage, Patricia J. Falk
Novel Theories Of Criminal Defense Based Upon The Toxicity Of The Social Environment: Urban Psychosis, Television Intoxication, And Black Rage, Patricia J. Falk
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
In recent years, defendants have proffered a multitude of novel theories of criminal defense in seeking to explain their criminal behavior in terms of internal and external influences beyond their control, including biological processes, chemical reactions, intra-psychic dynamics, social conditions, and cross cultural stresses. This Article focuses on one subset of this burgeoning class of defenses: those based upon the central premise that the defendant's criminal conduct was caused, or significantly influenced, by his exposure to social environmental factors or, if you will, toxins affecting his mental functioning. While a wide panoply of toxins exist within the fabric of our …
An Economic Analysis Of The Death Penalty, Martin Kasten
An Economic Analysis Of The Death Penalty, Martin Kasten
University Avenue Undergraduate Journal of Economics
From an economic perspective, society should only use capital punishment if the marginal benefits outweigh the marginal costs. In the course of analyzing the economic efficiency of capital punishment, and before providing any recommendations, both the benefits and costs of the death penalty must be evaluated. Since the death penalty has been implemented for centuries, many people believe its benefits outweigh its costs. The evaluation of benefits in Part II will be compared to the costs assessed in Part III to determine if this long held assertion is correct.
The Social Construction Of Identity In Criminal Cases: Cinema Verité And The Pedagogy Of Vincent Chin, Paula C. Johnson
The Social Construction Of Identity In Criminal Cases: Cinema Verité And The Pedagogy Of Vincent Chin, Paula C. Johnson
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
This article will discuss the use of the film, Who Killed Vincent Chin?, as a method: (1) to analyze the relationship of social constructions of identity, particularly race, on the rules and discretionary application of criminal jurisprudence; (2) to provide an interactive pedagogical tool for law teachers, especially criminal law teachers, to examine the social contexts of criminal jurisprudence from multiple perspectives; and (3) to examine the ability of criminal law doctrine to address issues of race.

She’S Gotta Have It Now: A Qualified Rape Crisis Counselor-Victim Privilege, Euphemia B. Warren
Cardozo Law Review
This Note analyzes the justifications for a testimonial privilege for communications between a rape victim and her counselor. More importantly, it contends that a qualified privilege sufficiently protects the counselor-victim relationship and the rape victim's need for confidentiality, while at the same time securing the defendant's Sixth Amendment rights. This Note endorses a qualified privilege that requires a specific showing by the defendant that the information he seeks might be helpful to his case before the trial judge will conduct an in camera inspection of the confidential rape counseling records. In the in camera review, the judge will determine whether …

The Next Step After Daubert: Developing A Similarly Epistemological Approach To Ensuring The Reliability Of Nonscientific Expert Testimony, Edward J. Imwinkelried
The Next Step After Daubert: Developing A Similarly Epistemological Approach To Ensuring The Reliability Of Nonscientific Expert Testimony, Edward J. Imwinkelried
Cardozo Law Review
On June 28, 1993, after much fanfare, the United States Supreme Court rendered its decision in Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The decision was not only preceded by intense media attention; the decision was also immediately followed by a massive-and growing-volume of commentary. As is usually true with landmark decisions, it is imperative to identify what the Court decided and what the Court left unresolved.

Separating The Victim From The Abuser: Chapter 94-135 And The Florida Legislature's Most Recent Attempts To Control Domestic Violence, Diane F. Medley
St. Thomas Law Review
This comment will look at Chapter 94-135 of the laws of Florida and the statutes it altered as compared to the recommendations from The First Report of the Governor's Task Force on Domestic Violence5 as well as methods effectively being used by other states. It will show that Florida's new Act is a curious mixture of strength and weakness within the statutes, taking some new actions, yet not moving forward and sometimes even regressing in areas where decisive steps could have been taken, notably in such aspects as police intervention and reporting, pro-prosecution policies, and injunctions.
Deciding To Kill: Revealing The Gender In The Task Handed To Capital Jurors, Joan W. Howarth
Deciding To Kill: Revealing The Gender In The Task Handed To Capital Jurors, Joan W. Howarth
Scholarly Works
Day after day, across this country, ordinary people are summoned to court for a selection process that ultimately leaves them in a room deciding, with other jurors, whether a criminal defendant should be killed. The task handed to these jurors is an awesome, personal, moral decision, encased within the complex legal standards and procedures that constitute modern capital jurisprudence. The doctrine that created and sustains this moment of conscience reflects an ongoing struggle of rule against uncertainty, reason against emotion, justice against mercy, and thus, at one level, male against female. Capital jurisprudence -- the law for deciding whether to …

The Writing On Our Walls: Finding Solutions Through Distinguishing Graffiti Art From Graffiti Vandalism, Marisa A. Gómez
The Writing On Our Walls: Finding Solutions Through Distinguishing Graffiti Art From Graffiti Vandalism, Marisa A. Gómez
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that outlawing graffiti completely is not an effective solution. The only effective means of controlling graffiti is to develop laws and policies which accommodate graffiti art while discouraging graffiti vandalism and which attack the root causes of graffiti. Part I briefly outlines the origins of graffiti. Part II describes the different types of graffiti and the motivations of their respective creators. Part III analyzes the arguments for and against the legalization of certain types of graffiti and concludes that, because of the multitude of different types of graffiti, both graffiti proponents and opponents have meritorious arguments that …

Prostitution And Male Supremacy, Andrea Dworkin
Michigan Journal of Gender & Law
The assumptions of academia can barely begin to imagine the reality of life for women in prostitution. Academic life is premised on the notion that there is a tomorrow and a next day and a next day; or that someone can come inside from the cold for time to study; or that there is some kind of discourse of ideas and a year of freedom in which you can have disagreements that will not cost you your life. These are premises that those who are students here or who teach here act on every day. They are antithetical to the …
