Judicial review is a procedure in English [[administrative law]] by which English courts supervise the exercise of public power. A person who feels that an exercise of such power by, say, a government minister, the local council or a statutory tribunal, is unlawful, perhaps because it has violated his or her rights, may apply to the [[Administrative Court]] (a division of the [[High Court of Justice|High Court]]) for judicial review of the decision. If the application for judicial review is successful, the Court may set aside (quash) the u

Paul House was convicted of rape and murder in 1986. Fifteen years after the conviction, DNA evidence DNA determined the semen in his the victim was actually that of victim's husband, House. As a result, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the DNA and other evidence were strong enough that a jury would not have convicted House -a determination also reached by lower courts in the appellate process. This article observes "many people thought the state would issue some type of clemency to [House], or even pardon him. But no, the state kept fighting to keep him in prison." Why? The article suggests Gov. Phil Bredesen (D) is demonstrating that it is not "easy for some people to admit that they're wrong."

The Arab News reports that Saudi women will be allowed to staff reception centers to provide legal assistance in the Kingdom's judicial system. This strikes me as a Band-Aid approach to solving the severe discrimination women face in Saudi courts. Female lawyers still will not be permitted to represent their clients in the courtroom and women in civil and criminal cases continue to be denied the right to equal representation. But like all things when it comes to making significant changes in Saudi Arabia, perhaps this is the first step to relaxing the rigid segregation of men and women in the judicial system.

Privy Council Sitting In Bahamas For Second Time -
By TOSHEENA ROBINSON-BLAIR:
Nassau, Bahamas:
With much pomp and pageantry, the country on Monday welcomed the U.K.-based Privy Council to The Bahamas before the law lords got down to the business of hearing the first case - a murder appeal - on their agenda while here.
On Monday, the Judicial Committee dealt with murder convict Quincy Todd's appeal of his conviction. The delay in appeal was a result of Todd's difficulty to obtain legal representation.
Todd was found guilty of the 1994 murder of Venette Bellizaire.
He was convicted on February 23, 1998 of the murder of the young Haitian woman and sentenced to death. It is reported that he picked up Bellizaire from a bus stop in downtown Freeport on August 25, 1994 in a grey Nissan Sunny.
The victim was never seen alive again.
The court heard that on September 21, 1994, police interviewed him and he eventually directed them to an area where skeletal remains, clothing, a
Episode II -R v GMC Ex Parte Rita Pal My lawyer is currently sporting a designer blue light saber against the Black Knight at the GMC.The above video is dedicated to the infights between my lawyer and the GMC. All I can say is this, when the case is over, the entire lot is going to be published on line for sheer entertainment value. The judicial review relates to the the two failed complaints by Penny Mellor and her side kick Fiona Woolard to the GMC. The two subjected me to a 5 month investigation at the GMC that got me fired from my job. I look at the media arguments over whether they are harassers - and I say this - of course they are harassers. I know they are. So the GMC cleared me in the end in a pointless escapade that leaves the GMC's lawyers spending thousands defending the two harassers.

Our friend, distributorcap, over at the Daily Kos recently posted a "diary" entry about Giuliani. He rips him pretty good. Due to time restraints, I will address one point he tries to make. Distributorcap says:"Rudy has flip flopped his positions SO many times on SO many issues that it is tough to keep track. If he hasn't flip flopped he has promised to appoint judges that are non-activist ---- which is just wingnut code for changing positions." Much of the weight of distributorcap's argument rests on the premise that appointing non-activist judges means the same as Rudy changing positions. I beg to differ. 1. Without dwelling on it (because the bigger issue puts this one to rest), Giuliani's belief in appointing "strict constructionists" and non-activist judges does NOT mean he is flip-flopping on issues such as abortion, gay rights, etc. The issues are very different.2. The issue of judicial activism is much bigger and much broader. It goes along the lines of how to view an

Extradition Appeal Dismissed:
By Quincy Parker -
Nassau, Bahamas:
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has laid out the reasons underpinning the high court’s decision to dismiss the appeal against extradition for seven Bahamian men facing drug charges in the United States.
The dismissal of the appeal on July 24, 2007 cleared the way for committal proceedings of the men to proceed without further delay.
Trevor Thomas Roberts, Devroy Moss, Sheldon Athelston Moore, Lionel and Linden Deal, Shanto Curry and Gordon Newbold were arrested in 2004 following an extradition request by the United States. The men were suspected of having committed drug trafficking offences.
After laying out the arguments presented by Maurice Glinton, the law lords dismissed them quite bluntly.
"Their lordships are of the opinion that there is no merit in any of Mr. Glinton’s arguments," the ruling said. "There has already been an inordinate delay in these cases, due to the time that disposing of th
Get a judgment somewhere in China. Then try to collect. There is little value in a judgment when the authorities flout its enforcement. Read this Washington Post article. The local government, against whom the judgment was entered, won’t pay and can’t be forced to.
Yuci township, the subject of the story, is not a rogue element (although it may be run by rogues); in fact, it displays typical administrative behavior. It might possibly disgorge its illegal gain if a superior authority compels it to — a strategy used by a number of American bankers collecting on bad loans in China (”The governor of the province is a personal friend of mine, and if you don’t give me my $23.6 million today I will be having lunch with him tomorrow). But then, the judiciary is once again circumvented by the power structure which would — or would pretend? — to espouse judicial independence in the first place

If you were not a dumb Malaysian, you would have guessed that something was very wrong with our Malaysian judiciary way back in 1988. Did you?The current sensational Lingam Tape saga has brought back disturbing memories of that 1988 crisis. Yesterday for an example, MalaysiaKini published a sensational story about our former Lord President Tun Hamid Omar. Tun Hamid Omar was reported to have said that he would be sacked from his post if he did not chair the tribunal that later cost Tun Salleh Abas his job in 1988. The expose was revealed by a former President of the Malaysian Bar Council recently.I don’t know about you folks out there but I no longer find stories about our 1988 judicial crisis as juicy as it was couple of years back. Nowadays, I find them deplorable. It only shows that we are a big bunch of stupid citizens of Malaysia! We had suspected that something was wrong with our judiciary back in 1988 but have we done something to save it then? Even after 19 long years, Malaysi
First let me say I do not care if OJ Simpson is locked up for the rest of his life. Since he got away with murder, I will not loose a wink of sleep if he is convicted in the Vegas heist.But, even better than the possibility of seeing a monster finally get his just dues, is that some light is being shed on the dirty secret of the American Justice System.And that is rats and snitches--along with the life and death power which has been placed in the hands of mealy mouthed, power-hungry prosecutors.I learned back in second grade not to be a tattletale, when my best friend Melanie caved in my face.Like every elementary classroom in America, mine is not a bastion of due process. Nonetheless, I have no use for tattletales: “Teacher, Teacher Johnny is picking his nose.”Even worse, is the deal where one is caught on the playground slugging one of his his little pals, and it is “he hit me first.”But that is what we have going on in the OJ case. A bunch of nefarious characters, all as e
Author: Linda Gayle MillsPaperback: 216 pagesPublisher: University of Michigan Press (November 1999)Language: EnglishISBN: 0472109502(R)A Penchant for Prejudice combines a detailed empirical study of the decision-making practices of judges with a sophisticated theoretical argument which exposes contemporary myths about judging and suggests methods of incorporating the inevitable bias that is detected in this and other studies. Based on a unique study of the decisions of Social Security judges, the book challenges the meaning of judicial impartiality. Linda G. Mills finds that, in practice, bias is a consistent dimension of what is considered "impartial" decision-making. The results reveal that impartiality as the legal system now defines it, is itself a form of bias, and that a historically and contextually sensitive definition of bias, one which takes account of the communities and cultures that come to be judged in the legal system, must overcome the modern dual
Después de más de tres años en procesos judiciales,una madre soltera le ganó a la asociación de la industria de la música en los EEUU conocida como la RIAA. Una corte en el estado de Oklahoma resolvió que dicha asociación le pague 70 mil dólares en compensación a Debra Foster después de haber sido acusada de bajar música ilegalmente a través de una red P2P, según una declaración de la Electronic Frontier Foundation.
Después de que la RIAA la acusara en el año 2004, y se presentara evidencia de que estaban demandando a la persona equivocada, la RIAA continuó sus procedimrentos legales, hasta que después de dos años, decidieron abandonar los cargos. Foster en aquel momento decidió demandar compensación por las acciones de la RIAA. El juez Lee West de Oklahoma declaró la teoría legal de la RIAA como “sin razón y frívolo”, y le dió la razón a Foster.
La RIAA todavía tiene que negociar con otras dos personas acusadas erróneamente que están en el
via the conservative judicial blog ConfirmThem and Fox News.GOP frontrunner Rudy Giuliani will unveil his "Justice Advisory Committee" this week on a two-day swing through heavily Republican western districts of Iowa, home of the first presidential caucuses in 2008. ... Former U.S. solicitor general under President Bush, Ted Olson, will chair the panel. Former Bush administration Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and filibustered judicial nominee Miguel A. Estrada will be among the "who's who" of conservative legal and judicial advisers to Giuliani.Estrada, of course, is the jurist for whom social conservatives fought a protracted, two-year confirmation battle when his nomination to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was filibustered by senate Democrats from 2001-2003.Olson is very well-liked and highly respected among judicial conservatives, as is Larry Thompson (though the latter is lesser-known). Thompson was John Ashcroft's #2 man at the Department of Justice dur
So it seems that Giuliani wants to put on a good impression by announcing a power house Judicial Advisory Panel. I just don't see Conservatives getting behind Giuliani on this move alone, he leans a little more to the right than I think most people would like.Last week, he was smeared by Firefighters for a myriad of thier own reasons. What I find hilarious about all of this is if the issue centered around 9/11 then why are just now hearing about it? Say it with me, election year is coming.I think we can easily conclude that this is certainly another checkmark in the long line of smear campaigns leading up to the primary. The question is how will the general voting populace receive it?Of course, this is all probably unimportant information. The second Fred Thompson or Newt Gingrich announce, we can stick a fork in Rudy as well.
