Book Synopsis Maintaining the Public Trust by : Federal Judicial Center
Download or read book Maintaining the Public Trust written by Federal Judicial Center and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New law clerks: welcome to the federal court system. Career clerks: thank you for your continued service. During your clerkship, you will provide valuable assistance as your judge resolves disputes that are of great importance to the parties, and often to the public. The parties and the public accept judges' rulings because they trust the system to be fair and impartial. Maintaining this trust is crucial to the continued success of our courts. That's why, although you have many responsibilities that demand your attention, you must never lose sight of your ethical obligations. You need to become familiar with the Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees, which has five canons. In brief, the canons provide that you should - uphold the independence and integrity of the judiciary and of your office - avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities - adhere to appropriate standards in performing your duties; - avoid conflict with official duties and the appearance of impropriety in all outside activities - refrain from inappropriate political activities Scrupulously follow these canons and the other rules that govern your conduct. Do not assume that good intentions are enough. It is not enough to simply learn and follow the Code of Conduct and other related ethics rules, however. You also need to familiarize yourself with and follow your judge's ethical guidelines. These guidelines may differ from chambers to chambers. Your judge may impose restrictions that go beyond the Code. Although many of your obligations are the same as those of other federal judicial employees, certain restrictions are more stringent because of your special position in relation to the judge.

Book Synopsis Law Clerks and the Judicial Process by : John B. Oakley
Download or read book Law Clerks and the Judicial Process written by John B. Oakley and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2018-09-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth empirical and historical study of the use of law clerks by American judges. Although possessing a hundred-year heritage, the institution has been ignored as an important component of the process of judicial decision-making. Law clerks are, in the authors' words, "subordinate, anonymous, but often quite powerful lawyers who function as the non-commissioned officers in the army of the judiciary." American courts are currently altering the traditional use of law clerks through the introduction of important innovations that enhance the ability of judges to dispose of cases rapidly but detract from personal judicial control over individual decisions. The authors investigate the clash of tradition and innovation through interviews with sixty-three judges of federal courts and appellate courts in California. They find distinctly different models of law clerk usage in the state and federal systems, which they analyze on the basis of the judges' own perceptions of the qualitative and quantitive impact on their decision of variations in the character, tenure, and duties of staff assistants. They offer suggestions on how modern courts can cope with the "crisis of volume" without unduly sacrificing traditional standards of judicial autonomy. Because of the confidential nature of judicial deliberations, judges are rarely willing to discuss publicly their use of law clerks. This study employs unconventional techniques for penetrating the secrecy of judicial chambers while respecting the confidentiality and the individuality of its sources. It presents important new information on the internal operating procedures of the courts studies, collating interview data with facts abstracted from pre-existing but often obscure sources, and providing a particularly close look at the inner workings of the Supreme Court of California and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Revealing the significance of public funding of judicial staff in determining patterns of law clerk usage, it should promote further investigation and debate regarding the proper structure and role of staff assistance in the judicial process. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1980.

Book excerpt: "Ward and Weiden have produced that rare book that is both a meticulous piece of scholarship and a good read. The authors have . . . sifted through a varied and voluminous amount of archival material, winnowing out the chaff and leaving the excellent wheat for our consumption. They marry this extensive archival research with original survey data, using both to great effect." --Law and Politics Book Review"Helps illuminate the inner workings of an institution that is still largely shrouded in mystery." --The Wall Street Journal Online"The main quibble . . . with contemporary law clerks is that they wield too much influence over their justices' opinion-writing. Artemus and Weiden broaden this concern to the clerks' influence on the thinking of the justices about how to decide cases." --Slate.comProvides excellent insight into the inner workings of the Supreme Court, how it selects cases for review, what pressures are brought to bear on the justices, and how the final opinions are produced. Recommended for all academic libraries. --Library JournalArtemus Ward and David L. Weiden argue that the clerks have more power than they used to have, and probably more power than they should. --Washington PostThe book contains a wealth of historical information. . . . A reader can learn a lot from this pioneering study. --Cleveland Plain DealerMeticulous in scholarship. . . . Sorcerers' Apprentices presents convincing statistical evidence that the aggregate time that law clerks spend on certiorari memos has fallen considerably because of the reduction in the number of memos written by each clerk. --Judge Richard A. Posner in The New RepublicBased on judicial working papers and extensive interviews, the authors have compiled the most complete picture to dat
Book Synopsis Law Clerk Handbook by : Federal Judicial Center
Download or read book Law Clerk Handbook written by Federal Judicial Center and published by . This book was released on 2020-09-24 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law clerks have no statutorily defined duties; they carry out their judges' instructions. Because each judge decides cases individually and has developed work habits over the course of a professional career, no two judges use their clerks in exactly the same way. You will need to become familiar with your judge's style and work cooperatively with the other members of the chambers staff, so that as a team you can effectively assist the judge in fulfilling the judge's judicial responsibilities. In most chambers, law clerks concentrate on legal research and writing. Typically, a law clerk's broad duties include conducting legal research, preparing bench memos, drafting orders and opinions, editing and proofreading the judge's orders and opinions, and verifying citations. Many judges discuss pending cases with their law clerks and confer with them about decisions. District court law clerks often attend conferences in chambers with attorneys. Often, law clerks also maintain the library, assemble documents, serve as courtroom crier, handle exhibits during trial, and perform other administrative tasks as required by the judge to ensure a smooth-running chambers. Law clerks for district, bankruptcy, and magistrate judges have much more contact with attorneys and witnesses than their appellate court counterparts do. The primary function of an appellate court law clerk is to research and write about the issues presented on appeal, while law clerks for district, bankruptcy, and magistrate judges may be involved in the many decisions made at every stage of each case. Chapter 4 describes the operations of district, bankruptcy, and appellate courts in some detail.
Book Synopsis Law Clerk Handbook by : MICHIGAN LEGAL PUBLISHING LTD.
Download or read book Law Clerk Handbook written by MICHIGAN LEGAL PUBLISHING LTD. and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an updated edition of the Law Clerk Handbook, co-authored by Judge Alvin B. Rubin and Anthony DiLeo and first published by the Federal Judicial Center in 1977. Section 2.2 of this edition was revised in December 2017 in response to recent developments. The handbook provides an overview of chambers operations and the work of the federal courts; it does not provide detailed procedures on every aspect of a law clerk's daily tasks, nor does it review the procedures of each individual court (largely because law clerks' duties vary from judge to judge). Law clerks should familiarize themselves with local court procedures and inquire about a local chambers manual.
