Advocacy Of The Establishment Of Mental Health Specialty Courts In The Provision Of Therapeutic Justice For Mentally Ill Offenders, Leroy L. Kondo
Advocacy Of The Establishment Of Mental Health Specialty Courts In The Provision Of Therapeutic Justice For Mentally Ill Offenders, Leroy L. Kondo
Seattle University Law Review
This Article explores the establishment of mental health courts as a partial solution to the perplexing societal problem that relegates mentally ill offenders to a "revolving door" existence in and out of prisons and jails.This inescapable situation results from a paucity ofeffective humanitarian policies, laws, and procedures for treating such medically disordered defendants. The establishment of mental health specialty courts is investigated as a potential means of addressing the complex legal issues and psycho-sociological problems faced by the judicial system in dealing with mentally ill offenders.
Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena: Judicial Notice And The Potential Of The Legislative Fact Remand, A.J. Stephani
Therapeutic Jurisprudence In The Appellate Arena: Judicial Notice And The Potential Of The Legislative Fact Remand, A.J. Stephani
Seattle University Law Review
This Article begins with a modest objective and ends with an ambitious one. First, it asserts that appellate courts are an appropriate forum for considering the therapeutic impact of the law strand of therapeutic jurisprudence (TJ) scholarship. TJ's character as a "field of social inquiry" is especially suited to the appellate courts' task of formulating new rules of law and choosing among competing policy objectives when resolving opposing normative principles.
A Sea Change In The Appellate Process?, Gerald W. Vandewalle
A Sea Change In The Appellate Process?, Gerald W. Vandewalle
Seattle University Law Review
Professor David Wexler's essay is certain to engender a sense of fear in appellate judges by its very suggestion that we should undertake such a sweeping reform of the appellate process. But the suggestions should-and will-beget the gnawing feeling that Professor Wexler's analysis of the articles by Professors Nathalie Des Rosiers and Amy Ronner, as well as the questions he poses, require us to explore these ideas further. For those of us who follow the "no advisory opinions" we might stop there. For thotshee acpapneolnl aotef courts who use a screening process to divert cases to an alternative dispute resolution …
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 …
Direct Democracy: The Right Of The People To Make Fools Of Themselves; The Use And Abuse Of Initiative And Referendum, A Local Government Perspective, Daniel M. Warner
Direct Democracy: The Right Of The People To Make Fools Of Themselves; The Use And Abuse Of Initiative And Referendum, A Local Government Perspective, Daniel M. Warner
Seattle University Law Review
The Framers of the United States Constitution did not embrace direct, populist democracy. They rejected the Swiss model of direct legislation' and chose a system of representative-republican, not democratic-government that would, as James Madison wrote, "enlarge the public views by passing them through the medium of a chosen body of citizens, whose wisdom may best discern the true interest of their country and whose patriotism and love of justice will be least likely to sacrifice it to temporary or partial [partisan] considerations." Representative democracy presumes that an informed electorate will choose wise legislators. Direct democracy, by extension, demands that citizens …
The Proposed Environmental Justice Act: "I Have A (Green) Dream", Claire L. Hasler
The Proposed Environmental Justice Act: "I Have A (Green) Dream", Claire L. Hasler
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment addresses the concept of environmental racism, the tools that have been used to fight it, and the proposed Environmental Justice Act of 1993. Part II begins with an examination of the evidence minority communities have relied on as proof that environmental racism exists. The evidence contained in numerous articles clearly shows inequalities in the amounts of environmental and health hazards minority communities bear, and this evidence validates the existence of pervasive environmental injustice in our society. Part III addresses the limited case law involving attempts by minority communities to challenge perceived environmental racism and assesses the effectiveness of …
Law And Morals: The Perennial And Necessary Tandem, Peter J. Riga
Law And Morals: The Perennial And Necessary Tandem, Peter J. Riga
Seattle University Law Review
The relationship between law and morality has never been terribly clear in the American mind. On one hand, there has been the attempt simply to identify the two. On the other hand, there has existed a deep suspicion of all attempts to relate the two. Traditional Western jurisprudence, at least before Austin, tried to follow a middle course between these two extremes. It is particularly important today, when law occupies such an important dimension in American life, that lawyers once again reexamine this relationship. Law is infinitely more than procedural technique; but it is something less than a religion or …
The Implicit Teaching Of Utopian Speculations: Rousseau's Contribution To The Natural Law Tradition, Thomas E. Carbonneau
The Implicit Teaching Of Utopian Speculations: Rousseau's Contribution To The Natural Law Tradition, Thomas E. Carbonneau
Seattle University Law Review
Legal philosophers, especially of the positivist variety, traditionally have assumed that the proponents of natural law theory present too facile an answer to the vexed question of whether an unjust law can be said to exist when it is duly sanctioned by legal and political authority. If not disappointed by the answer itself, they have been most unhappy with the explanation that accompanies it and, indeed, are prepared to challenge the very foundations of a theory of law which pays so little heed—either empirically or in terms of pure logic—to the actual operations of existing legal systems. Kant initiated the …
