For Windsor Law, this hub takes the form of the General Office (“the GO”). With the pace of life inside the office set at a daily high, it took the vision and care of a generous alumni duo to provide the GO with a new face; one that would not only please the eye, but also offer some substantial improvements to its functionality. Owing to the very generous donation of the Goodman Family, and in particular Jack ’76 and daughter Rebecca ’08, the GO is now designed to optimally meet the demands of both staff and students. “It’s the first place many people will be introduced to Windsor Law, whether they are students or visitors,” says Rebecca. “We wanted to make sure that it is Law Commons Farmer Conference room representative of the school.

  • RENDITION to TORTURE: a CRITICAL LEGAL HISTORY Alan W
    RUTGERS LAW REVIEW VOLUME 62 Fall 2009 NUMBER 1 ARTICLES RENDITION TO TORTURE: A CRITICAL LEGAL HISTORY Alan W. Clarke I. INTRODUCTION If any principle of international law seemed certain, it was that no nation could lawfully send people to places where they faced torture. Moreover, given President George W. Bush's long-standing rhetorical posture against torture,' and his attempts to outlaw torture worldwide,2 the United States might have seemed a most unlikely candidate to abduct people and send them to third countries for interrogations applying torture.3 1. For example, President George W. Bush told high school seniors designated "Presidential Scholars" (one from each state) that "the United States does not torture and that we value human rights." The U.S. Government is not Jack Bauer, BRATTLEBORO REFORMER, June 27, 2007, at Editorials; President Bush also said: "'I want to be absolutely clear . The United States does not torture. It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorized it - and I will not authorize it."' Issac A. Linnartz, The Siren Song of Interrogational Torture: Evaluating the U.S. Implementation of the U.N. Convention Against Torture, 57 DUKE L.J. 1485, 1493 (2008). 2. President George W. Bush said: The United States is committed to the world-wide elimination of torture and we are leading this fight by example. I call on all governments to join with the United States and the community of law-abiding nations in prohibiting, investigating, and prosecuting all acts of torture and in undertaking to prevent other cruel and unusual punishment.

  • Class Activities
    LEGAL RIGHTS IN CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS Class activities Class 1 Introduction Class 2 Criminal Justice Overview Discussion questions 1) Do you agree with the issues discussed in the following text? Why or why not? [Most Canadians think] that most people who come in contact with the criminal justice system are vulnerable or marginalized individuals. They are struggling with mental health and addiction issues, poverty, homelessness, and prior victimization. Most felt the criminal justice system is not equipped to address the issues that cause criminal behaviour in these groups, nor should it be. Participants felt these issues are worsened by an over-reliance on incarceration. They felt the system should promote public safety and respect for the law, and deal with crime in a just, fair, efficient, and compassionate manner. While Canada’s criminal justice system works well in some areas, it isn’t meeting its intended objectives for most people who come in contact with it. Many participants said that changes in legislation over the past decade have not contributed to these goals. In fact, they thought these changes had further stressed the system and worsened existing issues. 2) What can be done to avoid criminalizing individuals with mental health and addiction problems? What about those who are homeless, poor, and marginalized? 3) What do you think of prosecutors’ discretion? Do you agree? Why or why not? 4) If you could make changes to the criminal justice process, what changes would you make? Why? Classes 3 & 4 Criminal Justice Models: Crime Control 1. Dirty Harry Which Criminal Justice model predominates in the prosecutors (D.A.) and in the judge's arguments? Which Criminal Justice model predominates in the police officer's arguments and actions? What due process rights has the police officer violated? Do you agree with the use of the exclusion of evidence here? 2.
