Borden Italian Department Bachelor of Arts This thesis examines the constitutional guarantees of impartiality granted in both the United States and Italian constitutions. Aided by the presentation of these two constitutional legal systems, this paper will attempt to break apart the elements of each system and point out key differences. By pointing out the differences in these systems including variations in their founding documents, the structure of the courts, the role of the judges, the role of the advocates, and the role of other key players, this paper will show that while individual cases in both countries are exposed to multiple biases throughout the legal process, in the end justice is given impartially.

  • Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law?
    Turning the Camera on Court TV: Does Televising Trials Teach Us Anything About the Real Law? ANGELIQUE M. PAUL* I. INTRODUCTION What people think about the law is important because ours is a "public opinion" society, "which makes heavy use of referenda, and in which government does not lift a finger or move a muscle without reading the tea leaves of public desire."' The public's perception of justice influences the courts, the laws, the judges, and essentially the democratic process. So what influences the public's perception of justice? Television. For the majority of Americans, television is the most important source of information, and for many it is the only source of information. 2 This is particularly true when it comes to gathering information about the law. Because the majority of Americans have had no personal experience with the legal system,3 and because the majority of Americans get their information about the world solely from television, 4 the portrayal of justice on television is extremely important not only to the continued viability of the legal system, but also to the individual's understanding of that system. Studies indicate that the * The author would like to thank her parents, David and Lynda Paul, for their unconditional love and support. I David A.

  • E Media, the Jury, and the High-Profile Defendant: a Defense
    VOLUME 55 | 2010/11 JOHN C. MERINGOLO !e Media, the Jury, and the High-Pro"le Defendant: A Defense Perspective on the Media Circus ABOUT THE AUTHOR: John Meringolo received his J.D. from New York Law School in 1999 and is currently a criminal defense attorney in New York City. Early in his career, Mr. Meringolo gained experience while working under the esteemed James LaRossa, beginning with the trial of United States v. DeMartino, No. 03 CR 285 (RJD) (E.D.N.Y. May 7, 2004). Such experience provided Mr. Meringolo instant exposure to high-profile criminal defense. Over the last seven years of Mr. Meringolo’s private practice, he has tried numerous high-profile cases, including: United States v. DePalma, No. 05 CR 225 (AKH) (S.D.N.Y. June 6, 2006), United States v. Boyle, No. 03 CR 970 (SJ) (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 21, 2005), Indictment, People v. Lucente, No. 490-09 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 18, 2010), and, as discussed later in this article, United States v. Gotti, No. 08 CR 1220 (PKC) (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 1, 2009). Aside from practicing law, Mr. Meringolo also teaches Trial Advocacy as an Adjunct Professor at New York Law School. 981 THE MEDIA, THE JURY, AND THE HIGH-PROFILE DEFENDANT I. INTRODUCTION Throughout American history, there has been tension between the Sixth Amendment right of a criminal defendant to receive a fair trial and the First Amendment right for freedom of the press to publish news about criminal trials. Over the last seventy-five years in particular, media coverage of trials has steadily increased as a result of rapid advancements in technology.

LEE BAILEY THE WORST MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE DENISE BROWN AND DISBELIEVE ROSA LOPEZ Whites and A frican-Americans come to very different judgements about credibility of witnesses. By Humphrey Taylor The public generally gives Judge Lance Ito and Prosecutor Marcia Clark positive marks for their work in the O.J. Simpson trial. Majorities also give defense counsel Johnnie Cochran and Robert Shapiro positive marks -- but not as positive as Marcia Clark's. F. Lee Bailey, on the other hand, is rated 47% positive and 48% negative. These are some of the results of a nationwide Harris Poll of 1,005 adults surveyed between March 23 and 26. This Harris Poll also finds that majorities of the public tend to believe witnesses Denise Brown, Nicole Simpson's sister, and police officer Mark Fuhrman, and not to believe housekeeper Rosa Lopez. A modest plurality, but not a majority, tend to believe O.J. Simpson's house guest Kato Kaelin.

    TROUBLED WATERS: MID-TWENTIETH CENTURY AMERICAN SOCIETY ON "TRIAL" IN THE FILMS OF JOHN WATERS Taunya Lovell Banks* I. INTRODUCTION Iconoclast filmmaker John Waters grew up in racially segre- gated Baltimore, Maryland during the stifling conformity of the 1950s and early 1960s. 1 Waters, now an openly gay man, 2 came of age as a filmmaker in the late sixties. 3 As a young man, he lived in a closed society where racial mixing4 and homosexual sodomy were illegal. 5 Furthermore, the emerging American youth coun- tercultures-the hippies, anti-war and student movements in the 1960s 6 -greatly influenced his work.
