My Brethren’S (Gate) Keeper? Testimony By U.S. Judges At Others’ Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings: Its Implications For Judicial Independence And Judicial Ethics, Mary Clark

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article, prompted by the testimony of seven of Samuel Alito's then-current and former Third Circuit colleagues at his hearing to be Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, examines the merits of federal judges testifying at others' Supreme Court confirmation hearings.

The Legal Profession's Failure To Discipline Unethical Prosecutors, Angela J. Davis Jan 2007

The Legal Profession's Failure To Discipline Unethical Prosecutors, Angela J. Davis

Scholarly Articles in Law Reviews & Journals

This article explores the legal profession's failure to hold prosecutors accountable for misconduct and other ethical violations.

Theorizing Agency, Susan Carle Dec 2005

Theorizing Agency, Susan Carle

American University Law Review
