Book Synopsis Tried and Convicted by : Michael D. Cicchini
Download or read book Tried and Convicted written by Michael D. Cicchini and published by Rowman & Littlefield Publishers. This book was released on 2012-07-12 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When an individual is accused of a crime he is provided, at least in theory, with numerous constitutional rights throughout the legal process. These constitutional rights, however, are soft and flexible, and are subject to a tremendous amount of manipulation by police, prosecutors, and judges. The result is that these government agents are easily able to bypass, and in fact destroy, our constitutional protections. This abuse of our fundamental rights is extremely dangerous. Far from being mere technicalities, constitutional rights benefit all citizens, not just the factually guilty, in ways that go unappreciated by most of us. In today’s hyper-vigilant, tough-on-crime climate, many good people from all walks of life find themselves charged with serious crimes for behaving in ways that most of us would be shocked to learn are criminal. For these reasons, it is in all of our interests to ensure strong constitutional safeguards for everyone. Tried and Convicted explains several individual constitutional rights that are intended to protect us from the vagaries of the criminal justice system, and gives detailed examples of how government agents routinely circumvent those rights. It also exposes the underlying problems that enable government agents to circumvent the constitution, and concludes by offering potential solutions to these problems. Using real life examples throughout, Cicchini provides a wake-up call for all of us.

Book excerpt: DIVA successful former defense attorney exposes the raw truth about the courtroom “game” and a career spent defending the guilty/divDIV As an advocate for the accused in Newark, New Jersey, criminal lawyer Seymour Wishman defended a vast array of clients, from burglars and thieves to rapists and murderers. Many of them were poor and undereducated, and nearly all of them were guilty. But it was not Wishman’s duty to pass moral judgment on those he represented. His job was to convince a jury to set his clients free or, at the very least, to impose the most lenient punishment permissible by law. And he was very good at his job. Reveling in the adrenaline rush of “winning,” Wishman gave no thought to the ethical considerations of his daily dealings . . . until he was confronted on the street by a rape victim he had humiliated in the courtroom./divDIV /divDIVA fascinating, no-holds-barred memoir of his years spent as “attorney for the damned,” Wishman’s Confessions of a Criminal Lawyer is a startling and important work—an eye-opening, thought-provoking examination of how the justice system works and how it should work—by an attorney who both defended and prosecuted those accused of the most horrific crimes./div

Download or read book Career As a Criminal Defense Lawyer written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IN THE UNITED STATES CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, those charged with a crime are entitled to a defense. The people responsible for providing that defense, as well as protecting the rights of the accused, are skilled attorneys, known as criminal defense lawyers. Mounting a case for a criminal defendant can be an awesome task, fraught with numerous pitfalls and obstacles. In an effort to prove that a client is innocent, a defense attorney has to battle the full power of the state or federal government, which is often backed by a determined force of law enforcement agents. The role of criminal defense attorneys is extremely important in the criminal justice system because defense lawyers keep the system honest, making sure there truly is justice for all. When lawyers take on a case on behalf of the defense, it is their job to make sure that evidence was gathered properly and legally, confessions were not coerced, searches were conducted to the letter of the law, testimony was not fabricated, and the rights of the suspect were not violated in any way. The defense attorney may be the only one in an overburdened criminal justice system advocating for the accused. Defense attorneys see the accused not as a docket number, but rather as a person with rights and a voice to be heard. Wealthy or indigent, all clients must be treated equally by defense attorneys, who make sure that those bringing charges against any client meet the burden of proof. A great deal is at stake here. A wrongful conviction can ruin a client's life. There is little room for error. Defense attorneys handle cases from misdemeanors to felonies. A convicted client can receive a punishment ranging from a fine, to community service, probation, several years in prison, or even life imprisonment. In some cases, the death penalty is on the table. No matter what the severity of the crime, defense attorneys represent people in what is often their darkest hour. Criminal law is complex, with each state enacting its own criminal laws and setting its own punishments. Some crimes are covered by federal laws as well. Most criminal cases do not make sensational headlines in the daily newspapers or get spotlighted on network and cable news or online news sites. These cases are just as important to the people charged with that crime as the cases that captivate the public's attention. Regardless of the notoriety the case gets, little attention is paid to the hard work and long hours defense attorneys put in behind the scenes, working every angle to get their clients off or to minimize their sentences. Most people are only aware of the time defense counsel spends arguing a case in court. There will also be months or even years of work that go into a case, and that case is hardly ever the only one the attorney is working on. When you choose to become a criminal defense attorney, you are embarking on a fascinating and demanding career. In this profession, you will be seeking out the truth and representing your client to the best of your ability, while seeing to it that justice is served.
Download or read book Capital Defense written by Jon B. Gould and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2019-06-18 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The unsung heroes who defend the accused from the ultimate punishment What motivates someone to make a career out of defending some of the worst suspected killers of our time? In Capital Defense, Jon B. Gould and Maya Pagni Barak give us a glimpse into the lives of lawyers who choose to work in the darkest corner of our criminal justice system: death penalty cases. Based on in-depth personal interviews with a cross-section of the nation’s top capital defense teams, the book explores the unusual few who voluntarily represent society’s “worst of the worst.” With a compassionate and careful eye, Gould and Barak chronicle the experiences of American lawyers, who—like soldiers or surgeons—operate under the highest of stakes, where verdicts have the power to either “take death off the table” or put clients on “the conveyor belt towards death.” These lawyers are a rare breed in a field that is otherwise seen as dirty work and in a system that is overburdened, under-resourced, and overshadowed by social, cultural, and political pressures. Examining the ugliest side of our criminal justice system, Capital Defense offers an up-close perspective on the capital litigation process and its impact on the people who participate in it.

Download or read book Life After Law written by Liz Brown and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-10-14 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by Harvard-trained ex-law firm partner Liz Brown, Life After Law: Finding Work You Love with the J.D. You Have provides specific, realistic, and honest advice on alternative careers for lawyers. Unlike generic career guides, Life After Law shows lawyers how to reframe their legal experience to their competitive advantage, no matter how long they have been in or out of practice, to find work they truly love. Brown herself moved from a high-powered partnership into an alternative career and draws from this experience, as well as that of dozens of former practicing attorneys, in the book. She acknowledges that changing careers is hard much harder than it was for most lawyers to get their first legal job after law school but it can ultimately be more fulfilling for many than a life in law. Life After Law offers an alternative framework and valuable analytic tools for potential careers to help launch lawyers into new fields and make them attractive hires for non-legal employers.

Book Synopsis The Economics of Crime by : Zagros Madjd-Sadjadi
Download or read book The Economics of Crime written by Zagros Madjd-Sadjadi and published by Business Expert Press. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too often students in economics emerge with a clear grasp of theory, but precious little ability to apply that theory, especially in the area of microeconomics. They are left with a model that they believe is relevant solely to market mechanisms, when it is in fact suited for inquiry into all avenues of rational choice. At the same time, there is a uniform belief that criminals are plagued by psychological, physiological, or sociological deficiencies that can be remedied only through incarceration or institutionalization. Neither formulation is satisfactory as an exemplar to the general population about how they should be thinking about crime. Workers, employers and managers alike have a stake in effective public policy designed to reduce criminality. According to the Institute for People with Criminal Records, approximately 3% of the US population will be in jail or prison for at least one day during any given year, and nearly 30% of the population has a criminal record. Yet, having a criminal record often serves as a bar to employment and leads individuals who have paid their debts to society on a pathway to recidivism. Thus everyone, from managers in companies considering whether to bar felons from employment to individual voters considering felony disenfranchisement laws, needs to understand how rational criminals act and think. This book will attempt to guide readers to such an understanding. By understanding how incentive mechanisms affect criminal behavior, business managers may use this information either to reduce criminal activity in their own enterprises or to understand how unethical business decisions affect the wider society. As we always do in such circumstances, we must make sacrifices to balance the competing interests.

Book Synopsis Courts and Their Judgments by : Arun Shourie
Download or read book Courts and Their Judgments written by Arun Shourie and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2018-05-05 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'An outstanding effort' - Chief Justice Venkatachaliah 'An extraordinary book' - Fali S. Nariman 'Unputdownable' - Ashok Desai First published in 2001, Courts and Their Judgments soon became a pioneering work on the subject. It raised important questions on the functioning of our judiciary - questions that continue to be as relevant today. Do judges merely enforce and interpret the law? Or do they at times interpolate words into statutes, even into the Constitution? Where does interpretation end and rewriting commence? How is it that in one judgment a court declares that it is the right of ministers to determine how far and in what direction a criminal investigation shall be carried, and in another the same court, indeed the same judge, decides to as good as monitor an investigation? How is it that in some cases a court delves into detailed facts that do not just bear on the case, but on why a law was passed, and in another the same court lays it down as a principle that facts need not be considered once the legislature has passed a law? The failure of other institutions to discharge their duties has compelled the courts to step far outside their traditional role. In doing so, have they stretched the law and Constitution too far? Has the intervention been effective? Courts and Their Judgments looks at judicial activism through some brilliantly argued cases and at the need for and pitfalls of such overreach. With its searing answers, evidence, dissection of judgments on these and other issues, the book remains a must-read for strengthening the country.
