We all personally know and/or have worked with Alejandro Mayorkas, President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee to serve as Secretary of Homeland Security, during his many years of public service – as a federal prosecutor, as United States Attorney in Los Angeles and as a leader in the Department of Homeland Security during the Obama Administration. We have had ample opportunity to assess Ali’s character as he has handled the myriad challenges of government service, and have seen in Ali the unimpeachable integrity, the sound judgment and the commitment to public service that make him an ideal choice to serve in this critical position. For that reason, we wholeheartedly and unequivocally support Ali’s nomination, and we urge your Committee and the United States Senate to quickly confirm him as Secretary of Homeland Security so that DHS can have confirmed leadership in place on the first day of the new administration. Ali has a wealth of experience that uniquely equips him to serve effectively as the DHS Secretary. First he draws on his experience in the Justice Department, and specifically on his role and duty as a federal prosecutor to defend the Constitution and protect individual liberties in the federal criminal justice system.

  • 2016 Annual Report
    THE DISTRICT OF OREGON 2016 ANNUAL REPORT THE DISTRICT OF OREGON THE DISTRICT OF OREGON ANNUAL REPORT Over the past year, the District of Oregon has continued its tradition of active engagement between the bench, the bar, and the community. The court has seen several changes this year: judges retiring, new judges being appointed, and two chief judge transitions. Our justice services agencies are dedicated to serving the public and continually strive to improve the work that they do while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism. And the Oregon Chapter of the Federal Bar Association remains the third largest chapter in the Ninth Circuit, working hard to engage attorneys and communities across the entire state. Below are some highlights from the past year. A. News from the Courthouses Judge Levy Receives Edward J. Devitt Distinguished Service Award Considered the federal judiciary’s highest honor, the Devitt Award is presented by the Dwight D. Opperman Foundation and honors an Article III judge who has had a distinguished career and made significant contributions to the administration of justice, the advancement of the rule of law, and the improvement of society as a whole. As Ninth Circuit Chief Judge Sidney R. Thomas remarked, “When you think of those criteria, Judge Leavy immediately comes to mind. He has devoted his life to the law and is well deserving of this honor.” Chief Judge Thomas nominated Judge Leavy for this award and was joined in the nomination by five previous chief judges of the circuit and many prominent members of the Oregon legal community. Judge Leavy received the award at a special ceremony held at the U.S Supreme Court on November 13, 2015.

  • Angry Judges
    Angry Judges Terry A. Maroney* Abstract Judges get angry. Law, however, is of two minds as to whether they should; more importantly, it is of two minds as to whether judges’ anger should influence their behavior and decision making. On the one hand, anger is the quintessentially judicial emotion. It involves appraisal of wrongdoing, attribution of blame, and assignment of punishment—precisely what we ask of judges. On the other, anger is associated with aggression, impulsivity, and irrationality. Aristotle, through his concept of virtue, proposed reconciling this conflict by asking whether a person is angry at the right people, for the right reasons, and in the right way. Modern affective psychology, for its part, offers empirical tools with which to determine whether and when anger conforms to Aristotelian virtue. This Article weaves these strands together to propose a new model of judicial anger: that of the righteously angry judge. The righteously angry judge is angry for good reasons; experiences and expresses that anger in a well-regulated manner; and uses her anger to motivate and carry out the tasks within her delegated authority. Offering not only the first comprehensive descriptive account of judicial anger but also first theoretical model for how such anger ought to be evaluated, the Article demonstrates how judicial behavior and decision making can benefit by harnessing anger—the most common and potent judicial emotion—in service of righteousness.

  • The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies 2009 Annual Report
    The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies 2009 Annual Report “The Courts must declare the sense of the law; and if they should be disposed to exercise will instead of JUDGMENT, the consequences would be the substitution of their pleasure for that of the legislative body.” The Federalist 78 THE FEDERALIST SOCIETY aw schools and the legal profession are currently strongly dominated by a L form of orthodox liberal ideology which advocates a centralized and uniform society. While some members of the academic community have dissented from these views, by and large they are taught simultaneously with (and indeed as if they were) the law. The Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians interested in the current state of the legal order. It is founded on the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom, that the separation of governmental powers is central to our Constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be. The Society seeks both to promote an awareness of these principles and to further their application through its activities. This entails reordering priorities within the legal system to place a premium on individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law. It also requires restoring the recognition of the importance of these norms among lawyers, judges, law students and professors. In working to achieve these goals, the Society has created a conservative intellectual network that extends to all levels of the legal community.
