In 1945, the High Court of Australia heard the case of Gratwick v Johnson and ultimately decided to dismiss the appeal in a unanimous decision by the Judges. While different reasoning was employed, all five judges drew the conclusion that the appeal should be dismissed as the statute the defendant was charged under was inconsistent with s.92 of the Australian Constitution. To provide some context for this case in 1944, Dulcie Johnson was charged with an offence against the National Security Act 1939-1943 in that she did contravene par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order by travelling from South Australia to Western Australia by rail. In brief terms par.3 of the Restriction of Interstate Passenger Transport Order provided that no person shall, without a valid permit, travel from state to state or territory.

David Feige’s Indefensible: One Lawyer’s Journey nto the Inferno of American Justice invites people from all walks of life to a second hand experience of the criminal justice system hard at work. What is most interesting about Feige’s work is its distinct presentation of the life of a public defender in the South Bronx. Instead of simply detailing out his experiences as a public defender, Feige takes it a step further and includes the experiences of his clients. Without the personal relationships that he carefully constructs with each of his defendants, Feige would not be able to argue that the criminal justice system is flimsy at best, decisions always riding on either the judge’s personal attitudes or the clients propensity towards plea bargaining.

Dr. H. W. Perry conducted the course as he would an authentic law school class: cold calling abounded, inquisitions about the facts of the case and their holdings made my spine straighten instantaneously, and I began to encounter an entirely new way to think and learn. I ended the semester with an unrelenting interest and respect for the Commerce Clause and a registration confirmation for a spring course in Civil Liberties. When the year ended and cases still flew rapidly through my mind, I knew I had fallen in love with the law. Three years later, as I began to apply to law school, I attribute much of my journey in recognizing my calling toward a career in public interest law to the impact Texas Law has left on me as an undergraduate. My experiences taking courses with Dr. Perry, in the fall and spring semesters of my sophomore year, were truly the impetus for my passion for the law.

Introduction Having called the tune, Cintolo cannot be excused from paying the piper on the basis of his vocation… [We] emphatically reject the notion that a law degree, like some sorcerer’s amulet, can ward off the rigours of the criminal law. Legal ethics and how they are applied by international lawyers have become the subject of much contention since the infamous Bybee/Yoo memorandum drafted in 2002 by Jay Bybee and John Yoo otherwise known as the ‘torture memo’. This essay seeks to examine the issue of legal ethics through the lens of the experience of John Yoo and what this means for the provision of international legal advice in the United States (US) system. This examination will look at, first, the ethics of lawyers in the US system.

The Texas judicial system is bifurcated, where there are two supreme courts to serve justice. While one of the “highest courts” serves justice to civil cases, the other serves justice to criminal cases. Tom Phillips, former chief justice on the Texas Supreme Court, stated “Of the ways you can elect judges, Texas has one of the worst systems” (Chammah). Judicial elections in Texas have been impacted greatly by campaign contributions from interests’ groups, PAC’s, and law firms. In addition, partisan elections and low voter knowledge has made it more facile for these interest group to lobby their way into the legislative branch, thus, spreading into the judicial branch where elections count the most.
