The Impact Of New Justices: The U.S. Supreme Court And Criminal Justice Policy, Christopher E. Smith
Akron Law Review
The Supreme Court is an important policy-making institution. In criminal justice, for example, the high court issues decisions affecting institutions, actors, and processes throughout the justice system, from police investigations through corrections and parole. The Court's policy decisions affecting criminal justice are produced by the votes of the nine justices who select, hear, decide, and issue opinions in cases. It is widely recognized, and probably axiomatic, that the Supreme Court's decision-making patterns are determined by the Court's membership at any given moment in history. When five or more justices support a specific outcome in a case, they can form a …

Sanders V. Sears-Page, 131 Nev. Adv. Op. 50, Scott Lundy
Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Court held that the district court erred in deciding not to strike an empaneled juror whose background implied bias, but who promised he could remain impartial. Moreover, the Court held the district court erred in allowing challenges for cause while the juror was present, and by allowing newly discovered evidence to be entered into evidence on the final day of trial.

Is Justice For Sale In Ohio? An Examination Of Ohio Judicial Elections And Suggestions For Reform Focusing On The 2000 Race For The Ohio Supreme Court, Kara Baker
Akron Law Review
“Is justice for sale in Ohio?” asked a television advertisement in October 2000. Another advertisement informed voters that “today in Ohio, instructors teach and students learn, in spite of Justice Alice Resnick.” These advertisements are examples of the derogatory judicial campaigning that is becoming prevalent in the United States.
Part II of this comment will focus on the 2000 Ohio Supreme Court campaign between Alice Robie Resnick and Terrence O’Donnell as an example of current problems in judicial campaigning. The effect of this campaign and of similar other campaigns on the judicial system and public perceptions of justice will be …

In The Wake Of White: How States Are Responding To Republican Party Of Minnesota V. White And How Judicial Elections Are Changing, Rachel Paine Caufield
Akron Law Review
The selection of state court judges in the United States has been the subject of vigorous debate. The controversy continues to build as some scholars contend that only the appointment of judges ensures the independence of the judiciary by insulating the judge from retaliation for unpopular decisions. Yet volumes of evidence unfold each day to reveal a judiciary under attack for making legal albeit unpopular decisions. While the cloak of a lifetime appointment with no effective method of removal does little to instill confidence in the impartiality of the judiciary, an election riddled with partisan rhetoric or one-sided attacks is …

Antipodal Invective: A Field Gude To Kangaroos In American Courtrooms, Parker B. Potter Jr.
Akron Law Review
This article discusses three other groups of opinions that use the phrase “kangaroo court.” The first section describes the various decision-making behaviors that qualify a tribunal to wear the Scarlet K. It does so by discussing opinions in which a judge or a litigant has given a definition of the term “kangaroo court” when that term is used metaphorically, as invective, to disparage the fairness of another tribunal. The second section describes the habitat of adjudicatory kangaroos by examining opinions like Silver v. Castle Memorial Hospital, in which a judge has called another tribunal a kangaroo court. The third section …

A Triumphant Day In Pace Law School’S History: Justice Sonia Sotomayor’S November 12, 2012 Visit To Our Campus, Emily Gold Waldman

“Read through and then we can discuss. Don’t forward to anyone,” stated a March 2012 e-mail from Dean Emeritus Michelle Simon to me. The e-mail’s subject line was unremarkable – “FW: Your Pace Visit” – but its actual subject was anything but: Associate Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor had officially agreed to visit Pace Law School. It was time for intensive planning to begin. The fruition of that planning – Justice Sotomayor’s full-day visit to our campus on November 12, 2012, the first-ever visit of a Supreme Court Justice to Pace Law School – was a wonderful highlight of Michelle’s …

Calculating Credibility: State V. Sharma And The Future Of Polygraph Admissibility In Ohio And Beyond, Vincent V. Vigluicci
Akron Law Review
Almost a century after its inception, the polygraph test remains one of the most fascinating forms of evidence. Firmly entrenched in popular mythology, the polygraph offers the promise of calculating truth and credibility with scientific certainty, a proposition that continues to capture the public’s imagination. At the same time, the polygraph has also been viewed with great trepidation as a flawed and dangerous instrument of oppression. Commonly called a “lie detector,” the polygraph does not actually detect lying; it measures subtle changes in blood pressure, pulse, respiration, and the skin’s resistance to electricity that are thought to result from the …

A Tribute To The Honorable Sam H. Bell ('52), Richard L. Aynes, Margaret Andreeff Matejkovic
Akron Law Review
The late Judge Sam H. Bell (’52) saw the powerful effect of, and beauty in, words. He wrote and spoke them with precision, with thoughtfulness, and with compassion. And he listened intently to the words of others—to the words of all people from all walks of life. His fundamental humanity, great kindness, and assiduous pursuit of knowledge through perusing of the philosophies, the histories, and the literature of the law permeated his choice of words in his speeches and writings. It is because of these and other qualities of Judge Bell’s character as a man and as a judge that …
