The Lawyer-Judge Bias in the American Legal System

The Lawyer-Judge Bias in the American Legal System

Benjamin H. Barton

Cambridge University Press
2014
pokkari
Virtually all American judges are former lawyers. This book argues that these lawyer-judges instinctively favor the legal profession in their decisions and that this bias has far-reaching and deleterious effects on American law. There are many reasons for this bias, some obvious and some subtle. Fundamentally, it occurs because - regardless of political affiliation, race, or gender - every American judge shares a single characteristic: a career as a lawyer. This shared background results in the lawyer-judge bias. The book begins with a theoretical explanation of why judges naturally favor the interests of the legal profession and follows with case law examples from diverse areas, including legal ethics, criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, evidence, and the business of law. The book closes with a case study of the Enron fiasco, an argument that the lawyer-judge bias has contributed to the overweening complexity of American law, and suggests some possible solutions.

The author discusses Lehman's judicial philosophy, his approach to interpreting the law, and his impact on the legal profession. The book is divided into six chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of Lehman's life and work. The first chapter provides an overview of Lehman's early life and education. The second chapter focuses on his career as a lawyer and his appointment to the New York Court of Appeals. The third chapter discusses Lehman's role in the development of civil rights law in New York.

The fifth chapter examines Lehman's role in criminal law, including his efforts to reform the criminal justice system and his support for the rights of defendants. The final chapter of the book provides a summary of Lehman's legacy and his impact on the legal profession.

Cardozo Lectures"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the legal profession and the development of the law in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The Judge and the President

The Judge and the President

This is volume three in the series The Judge and the Creative Positivist. "The U.S. democracy will survive only if there is a peaceful transfer of power after the members of the Electoral College meet and cast their votes for the winner of the election. The election is a contest. Like all contests, it must result in a winner (unless there is a tie). If the winner of the election does not become the president, there will be no democracy and the election will become irrelevant." This book looks at the aftermath of the 2020 election and the indictment of former President Donald Trump for four criminal offences following an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power after he lost the election. If this effort had been successful, Joe Biden would not have become the President and Donald Trump would have remained in office. Moskowitz explains with his typical clarity and precision the complexities of the POTUS election system and how it still has its roots in the decisions made by the Founding Fathers. The book is rich in academic research, but has the added advantage of being written by a law professional who witnessed the 2020 process and subsequent events close-up: This book will be useful for students, tutors and researchers. It will also provide accurate, considered context for journalists, historians and anyone interested in the legal proceedings that are only just beginning... It includes analysis of and research into events as recent as August 2023, such as the Georgia indictment.
