The View from the Bench and Chambers by Jennifer Barnes Bowie,Donald R. Songer,John Szmer Pdf

For most of their history, the U.S. courts of appeals have toiled in obscurity, well out of the limelight of political controversy. But as the number of appeals has increased dramatically, while the number of cases heard by the Supreme Court has remained the same, the courts of appeals have become the court of last resort for the vast majority of litigants. This enhanced status has been recognized by important political actors, and as a result, appointments to the courts of appeals have become more and more contentious since the 1990s. This combination of increasing political salience and increasing political controversy has led to the rise of serious empirical studies of the role of the courts of appeals in our legal and political system. At once building on and contributing to this wave of scholarship, The View from the Bench and Chambers melds a series of quantitative analyses of judicial decisions with the perspectives gained from in-depth interviews with the judges and their law clerks. This multifaceted approach yields a level of insight beyond that provided by any previous work on appellate courts in the United States, making The View from the Bench and Chambers the most comprehensive and rich account of the operation of these courts to date.

Case Handling by Nick Chambers Pdf

'Experience of all sorts at the Bar and on the Bench has led to the thought that a few timely words could avoid a lot of grief as well as perhaps bringing a smile or two from the pictures.' At the Bar Nick Chambers did a great variety of cases ranging from the miners' respiratory claims to the Kuwait Airways litigation. On the Bench his job was to manage and try cases as the Mercantile Judge for Wales and Chester and then for Wales as well as sitting in London in the Commercial Court and other jurisdictions. He was a member of the Civil Procedure Rule Committee at the time of the introduction of the Woolf reforms. He now practices as an arbitrator and mediator from Brick Court Chambers. The Chambers family's involvement with watercolours goes back to 1779 with an ancestor's sketches during the Siege of Gibraltar. Since then each generation has made its own contribution including scenes from Mumbai in the V&A and the first illustrations of the rules of rugby football done at the school in 1845. Illustrations and texts from Nick's book Missed Moments in Legal History hang in the Rolls Building. The pictures in Case Handling pay a further happy tribute to his past. This book, with its pithy advice and attractive illustrations, makes taking the serious medicine of case handling a pleasure both for the recently qualified and anyone else with an interest in making dispute resolution work.

Governing from the Bench by Emmett Macfarlane Pdf

In Governing from the Bench, Emmett Macfarlane draws on interviews with current and former justices, law clerks, and other staff members of the court to shed light on the institution’s internal environment and decision-making processes. He explores the complex role of the Supreme Court as an institution; exposes the rules, conventions, and norms that shape and constrain its justices’ behavior; and situates the court in its broader governmental and societal context, as it relates to the elected branches of government, the media, and the public.

Memoirs of a Crow by James Edwards Pdf

I stood inside the doorway leading from my chambers to the courtroom. I was just out of sight of the attorneys milling around the clerk's desk. The jurors were in the jury box anxious to deliver their verdict. The defendant was seated at counsel table dressed in a suit at least one size too big because of the weight he lost during the year he spent in jail awaiting trial. Representatives of the press were busily scribbling the story that was about to unfold. I had even allowed television cameras in the courtroom to record the taking of the verdict. This was one of the biggest news events in San Bernardino County in the past year. The story had aired on local and even national television. The defendant had brutally ended the lives of three small children and was now about to learn his fate. As I stood there adjusting my robe, I thought back to the day I first entered a courtroom as a judge. It was in my hometown of Yucaipa, California, on my thirtieth birthday, and I believe I was even more nervous then. That was nearly thirty years ago. As I was now nearing retirement, I could not help but think of all the people that brought their disputes to me; all the juries I had empaneled; all the objections and motions I had ruled on; and all the decisions I had to make in those thirty years. Now my time on the bench was winding down. I thought someday I should write about all this. Well, here it is.
