Download or read book Buying Justice written by Terri Day and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the nation's fourth largest coal company, A.T. Massey, drove its competitor, Harmon Mining Co., into bankruptcy, a jury found that the company committed fraud in its business dealings and awarded its bankrupt competitor $50 million. Political issues surrounding judicial campaign funding that arose soon after raised concerns about the politicalization of the judiciary and the effects of campaign dollars on "blind justice."This paper addresses the issue of drawing a "constitutional" line for judicial recusal when required due to the "appearance" or "probability" of bias based on a party's financial contribution to a judge's election campaign. The paper also reviews the history of judicial elections, discusses the scant pre-Caperton cases in which the Supreme Court has found a violation of due process based on the objective probability of judicial bias, and discusses the Caperton decision and the legal minefields that will arise from recognizing a new category of judicial disqualification cases that create substantive due process rights based on a party's financial support to a judicial campaign election. The author concludes by suggesting that state laws and judicial canons can and have remedied the appearance of "buying justice" fostered by judicial campaign financing, without expanding substantive due process and creating a "constitutional" recusal rule.

The company appeals to the Mississippi Supreme Court, whose nine justices will one day either approve the verdict—or reverse it. The chemical company is owned by a Wall Street predator named Carl Trudeau, and Mr. Trudeau is convinced the Court is not friendly enough to his interests. With judicial elections looming, he decides to try to purchase himself a seat on the Court. The cost is a few million dollars, a drop in the bucket for a billionaire like Mr. Trudeau. Through an intricate web of conspiracy and deceit, his political operatives recruit a young, unsuspecting candidate. They finance him, manipulate him, market him, and mold him into a potential Supreme Court justice. Their Supreme Court justice. Don’t miss John Grisham’s new book, THE EXCHANGE: AFTER THE FIRM!

Book Synopsis Judicial Recusal by : R Grant Hammond
Download or read book Judicial Recusal written by R Grant Hammond and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2009-07-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of judicial recusal enables - and may require - a judge who is lawfully appointed to hear and determine a case to stand down from that case, leaving its disposition to another colleague or colleagues. The subject is one of considerable import and moment, not only to 'insiders' in the judiciary, but also to litigants and their lawyers. Understanding the principles which guide recusal is also to understand the fundamentals of judging in the common law tradition. The subject is therefore of considerable interest both at practical and theoretical levels, for it tells us most of what we need to know about what it means "to be a judge" and what the discharge of that constitutional duty entails. Unsurprisingly therefore, the subject has attracted controversy, and some of the most savage criticisms ever directed at particular judges. The book commences with an introduction which is followed by an analysis of the essential features of the law, the legal principles (common-law origins, the law today in the USA, UK and Commonwealth) and the difficulties which currently arise in the cases and by operation of statute. The third part looks at process, including waiver, necessity, appellate review, and final appeals. Three specific problem areas (judicial misconduct in court, prior viewpoints, and unconcious bias) are then discussed. The book ends with the author's reflections on future developments and possible reforms of recusal law.

Book Synopsis The Litigation State by : Sean Farhang
Download or read book The Litigation State written by Sean Farhang and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2010-08-02 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of the 1.65 million lawsuits enforcing federal laws over the past decade, 3 percent were prosecuted by the federal government, while 97 percent were litigated by private parties. When and why did private plaintiff-driven litigation become a dominant model for enforcing federal regulation? The Litigation State shows how government legislation created the nation's reliance upon private litigation, and investigates why Congress would choose to mobilize, through statutory design, private lawsuits to implement federal statutes. Sean Farhang argues that Congress deliberately cultivates such private lawsuits partly as a means of enforcing its will over the resistance of opposing presidents. Farhang reveals that private lawsuits, functioning as an enforcement resource, are a profoundly important component of American state capacity. He demonstrates how the distinctive institutional structure of the American state--particularly conflict between Congress and the president over control of the bureaucracy--encourages Congress to incentivize private lawsuits. Congress thereby achieves regulatory aims through a decentralized army of private lawyers, rather than by well-staffed bureaucracies under the president's influence. The historical development of ideological polarization between Congress and the president since the late 1960s has been a powerful cause of the explosion of private lawsuits enforcing federal law over the same period. Using data from many policy areas spanning the twentieth century, and historical analysis focused on civil rights, The Litigation State investigates how American political institutions shape the strategic design of legislation to mobilize private lawsuits for policy implementation.

Book Synopsis Judging Credentials by : Doris Marie Provine
Download or read book Judging Credentials written by Doris Marie Provine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1986 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Must judges be trained as lawyers in order to be effective in office, or can nonlawyers serve equally well? This question has long provoked controversy among lawyers, judges, legislators, and the public. In her empirical study of the place of the nonlawyer judge in the American legal system, Doris Marie Provine concludes that, despite the opposition of the legal profession to nonlawyer judges, they are as competent as lawyers in carrying out judicial duties in courts of limited jurisdiction. Provine presents a persuasive argument that the case against nonlawyer judges has been weighted in favor of the professional interests of lawyers, not public concerns. Her examination reveals as much about the presuppositions of legal professionals as it does about the competency of nonlawyer judges to old judicial office. To substantiate her claims, Provine has conducted the most comprehensive survey of nonlawyer and lawyer judges yet undertaken, augmenting this material with court observations and extensive interviews of judges. She integrates the results of this survey into the historical context of the lay versus lawyer judge debate, showing how the legally trained judge came to predominate in the American judicial system and analyzing in detail the campaign both in and out of the courts to make legal training a prerequisite for being a judge. Ultimately, Provine suggests, Americans are too committed to the significance of credentials and to the legal profession's vision of the judicial process to respond very favorably to nonlawyer judges, however well they might perform. Judging Credentials will force lawyers, judges, scholars, and the public to reconsider the role nonlawyer judges play in the American judicial system. Provine's provocative views and exhaustive research adds new dimensions to our understanding of the ethics of professionalism and its consequences.
