Extractions: P. O. Box 24100, Jerusalem 91240, Israel How to order this publication The standard form of disposition for most English and American criminal cases is the guilty plea, by means of a plea bargain. Jury trials are the rare exception rather than the rule. Although plea bargaining is the subject of a huge scholarly literature analyzing its nature and functioning, there is a much smaller literature on its origins and development. Most of the literature is highly critical, and much of it rests upon a belief that bureaucratic justice has come to replace the vigorous adversarial jury trial. Some critics lament "our vanishing jury". Others decry the rise of "technocratic justice". And still others warn that we are witnessing the "twilight of the adversary process", or the decline of the adversary system.

http://www.bsos.umd.edu/gvpt/lpbr/subpages/reviews/felman-shoshana.htm

Extractions: Others who have written about celebrated trials have pointed in the direction that Felman has now fully articulated, but no one has pushed the analysis of the unconscious of the trial in the fruitful ways Felman has. Not everyone will be sympathetic to her arguments/analysis, but it is fair to say that no one working at the intersection of law and social science can afford to ignore them. Not only do they provide a theoretical lens that has been missing in the analysis of trials, they show Felman to know the details of the trials about which she writes. She has a firm handle on the legal meaning and nuance of those trials. She sacrifices nothing in the way of legal sophistication to achieve her theoretical objectives. THE JURIDICAL UNCONSCIOUS begins with a reading of Walter Benjamin. More and more legal scholars are turning to Benjamin, parsing his dense and difficult essay on the critique of violence for its insights about the various forms of laws intimate connection to violence. Felman turns to Benjamin for another purpose, to examine his thought about the connection of history and justice or, more precisely, about how the claims of justice speak in and through history. In her view, one of the urgencies of law in the late twentieth century was to put history on trial. (P. 11). Nuremberg was, she suggests, the turning point. It changed our conception of what law and trials could and should do.

Psychology and Consciousness Professor Whitlow This course examines the nature and characteristics of consciousness from the perspective of psychological science. Where does consciousness it into our theories of cognitive processing? Where does it fit into our understanding of how the brain works? We will try to answer these questions by looking at both conscious and unconscious processes in the normal state of consciousness and in altered states of consciousness produced by sleep and dreams, by drugs, by hypnosis, by meditation, and by disease. The course will also consider the question of whether consciousness is found in other systems beside adult humans (such as children, animals, or machines). The course will require completing and writing about 2 or 3 small projects, participation in class discussions, and writing a 10-15 page paper on a topic related to consciousness.

Extractions: @import "images/china-with-palette-35.css"; /* */ Home My Works My Essays The following is from Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com at the time of publication of the first edition of GREAT AMERICAN TRIALS in one big fat volume in 1993. The second edition, covering 378 historically and legally significant or notorious courtroom battles in two big fat volumes, was published in 2002. "True crime" stories interest many in our society, and this new book will prove popular for reference and for browsing. Beginning with Anne Hutchinson's trials in the 1630s for religious dissent and heresy and ending with the Los Angeles police officers' trials in 1992, the trials represent a variety of issuesrape, civil liberties, corruption, and impeachment, with murder the largest category. Cases were chosen by the editor for their historic significance. Of the 100 courtroom battles included here, many will be familiar to readers through the pages of history books, or because the trial has occurred so recently that it is still referenced in daily newspapers. From the Alcibiades trial in 415 B.C. to the 1996 trial of Yigal Amir and covering crimes such as murder, treason, fraud, and negligence, this work paints a vivid portrait of international jurisprudence through the ages. Each entry follows the same format. The defendants, charges, defense and prosecuting attorneys, judge(s), location, date, verdict, sentence, and historical or political significance are all listed in a fact box at the start of the entry. This is followed by a narrative describing events leading up to the trial, the trial itself, and the aftermath. A brief list of suggested readings completes the entry. All entries are signed. Black-and-white illustrations complement the text.

Extractions: The Senate's Impeachment Role Under the Constitution, the House of Representatives has the power to impeach a government official, in effect serving as prosecutor. The Senate then holds the impeachment trial, essentially serving as jury and judge, except in the impeachment of a president when the chief justice presides. The president, vice president, and all civil officers of the United States are subject to impeachment; conviction means automatic removal from office. The concept of impeachment originated in England and was adopted by many of the American colonial governments and state constitutions. At the Constitutional Convention, the framers considered several possible models before deciding that the Senate should try impeachments. Since 1789 only 17 federal officers have been impeached by the House, 14 of which were tried by the Senate. Three were dismissed before trial because the individual had left office, 7 ended in acquittal and 7 in conviction. All of those convicted were federal judges.

To acquaint students with the sources of knowledge in this area and problems with their use. Students will be encouraged to become acquainted with the nature of the legal records of the time (in facsimile!) and to work with primary sources (cases, statutes, treatises) in translation where necessary. "The past is a foreign country" is by now a cliche, but remember that travel broadens the mind. No previous knowledge of history or of language is required to study this course, merely interest, application and imagination. Then you may consider such cases as that of Richard Fitznigel and the scabby monk. The cast list is fabulous, the plots are amazing. To consider law from a historical perspective in order to investigate its role in responding to and initiating wider social change. In the light of such consideration a critical and inquiring approach to legal phenomena is developed.

Extractions: ISSN: 0144-0365 The Journal of Legal History, founded by Albert Kiralfy in 1980, is the only British publication exclusively devoted to legal history. Whilst its main aim is the publication of good quality research on the sources and development of the Common Law, in the British Isles, in the Commonwealth and in the United States of America, it also carries articles in English on Roman Law and the European tradition and maintains a wide-ranging section of reviews of recent literature. Three issues per year: April, August, December Court-Martial Jurisdiction and ex-Service Personnel: The 'Boydell Gap' (1948) Revisited by G.R. Rubin The 'Boydell gap' remedy in modern military law, which was prompted by a Divisional Court ruling in 1948, has been seen as authorizing the trial by court martial of those who, within the previous six months, had ceased to be subject to military law. The present article argues, however, that Captain Boydell's case exposed primarily a territorial rather than a time-limitation obstacle to proceedings against ex-service personnel. Moreover, the case is historically significant in illuminating how the authorities wrestled with the problem of instituting criminal proceedings against military offenders such as black marketeers overseas when rapid demobilization was taking place.

Thus the scope of the information here presented covers the continuum of the State's involvement with a criminal, from arraignment, through trial, conviction (or acquittal or dismissal), sentencing, appeal, and pardon (if any). (The leaflet does not discuss records or files of district attorneys or police agencies, which investigate crimes, apprehend suspects, and prepare cases for prosecution.) Records in the State Archives pertaining to criminal appeals and executive clemency are described in considerable detail. Records held by the trial courts or other repositories are discussed in general terms.
