The Practice Of Extradition From Antiquity To Modern France And The United States: A Brief History, Christopher L. Blakesley
The Practice Of Extradition From Antiquity To Modern France And The United States: A Brief History, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
In order to understand the perceptions of extradition’s function and purpose in modern France and the United States, it is important to consider the evolution of thought regarding extradition. This article will focus on the history of extradition law as it has influenced contemporary law in the United States and France. The purpose of the article is to provide insight into the development of the “modern” extradition. Although the process has not always been executed by use of a treaty agreement, treaty authorized extraditions have existed since antiquity. Moreover, a treaty authorized extradition for common crimes, as opposed to political …
An Assessment Of Alternative Strategies For Increasing Access To Legal Services, Jeffrey W. Stempel
An Assessment Of Alternative Strategies For Increasing Access To Legal Services, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Since the late 1930s, lawyers have argued that their services are not used to the fullest advantage by a large segment of the population. More recently, other concerned groups such as trade unions and consumer organizations also have become convinced that there is an underutilization of lawyers' services, and that it is important to increase access to such services. As a result, attempts have been made to develop alternatives to the traditional methods of providing legal services that to date have proved inadequate in meeting the legal needs of the public. Legal clinics have proliferated, prepaid legal services plans have …
Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley
Extradition Between France And The United States: An Exercise In Comparative And International Law, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
In 1878 Cardaillac defined extradition as “the right for a State on the territory of which an accused or convicted person has take refuge, to deliver him up to another State wich has requisitioned his return and is competent to judge and punish him.” The term “extradition” was imported to the United States from France, where the decret-loi of Febraury 19, 1791, appears to be the first official document to have used the term. The term is not found in treaties or conventions until 1828. The Latin equivalent to extradition, “tradere”, is not found in early Latin works, but the …
Conditional Liberation (Parole) In France, Christopher L. Blakesley
Conditional Liberation (Parole) In France, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
Anglo-American parole owes its theoretical development and its early systematization, indeed its very existence, to France. It has been said that France has the genius of invention, but that too often the great ideas born in France are neglected there to find their baptism of success in other countries. This remark characterizes the history of the parole concept in France. Yet, the latest innovations being developed in France portend new possibilities for success in the rehabilitation of convicts. This section will trace briefly the history of conditional liberation the French counterpart of Anglo-American parole, and describe the development of the …
The Rescripts Of The Emperor Probus (276-282 A.D.), Alan Watson
The Rescripts Of The Emperor Probus (276-282 A.D.), Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
In an earlier study, I examined the private law in the rescripts of Carus and his two sons, the Emperors who ruled from 282 to 284, immediately before the accession of Diocletian, and found as the main conclusion that, despite everything, the quality of legal decision had remained reasonably high. This paper considers the four rescripts that survive from the troubled reign of the preceding Emperor, Probus. None contains a great legal innovation; none shows a drastic lowering of legal standards. Their importance lies in what they reveal about general matters. Despite the enormous military and economic problems of the …
Morality, Slavery And The Jurists In The Later Roman Republic, Alan Watson
Morality, Slavery And The Jurists In The Later Roman Republic, Alan Watson
Scholarly Works
The problem I wish to discuss is the moral attitude of the later Republican jurists to slavery. The prominent jurists of the time belong to the upper classes and, although it would be wrong to generalize from the jurists to other members of the aristocracy, we shall have a certain glimpse into the social attitudes of the period if we can gain a reasonably clear picture from the jurists. I will deal only with juristic discussion, and not with the statutes and edicts which concern slavery. No doubt the jurists would play a part in shaping these, but public political …
