    Inventing the Federal District Courts of the Twentieth Century for the District of Columbia and the Nation

    "Uncle Sam Modernizes His Justice": Inventing the Federal District Courts of the Twentieth Century for the District of Columbia and the Nation JUDITH RESNIK* The celebration of the 200th birthday of the courts of the District of Columbia offers an opportunity to focus on the diversification and proliferationof the federal institutions of judging. During the twentieth century, the federal courts and Con- gress worked together to create a host of statutory federal judges, including magis- trate and bankruptcy judges who serve through appointmentsfrom Article III judges, as well as administrative law judges and hearing officers working within agencies. In addition to inventing this array of judicial officers, the federal judiciary also redefined the work of judging to include efforts to settle cases and to influence congressionaldeployment and allocation ofjurisdiction. The innovations have many sources. One is doctrinal. The authority of statutory judges stems from a rereadingofArticle III to license a great deal offederal adjudication without Article Ill's structuralprotections. As litigantschallenged the devolution ofjudicial power their claims became an occasion to explore the import of judicial independence. In general, the life-tenured judiciary permitted (and sometimes welcomed) congressional generation of many adjudicativeforms, seen not to pose a threat to "Article III values." The doctrine in turn was crafted in the face of pressures f-om an expanding federal docket that requiredsome form of change. The particularprograms chosen were based in part on perceptions of the lessening utility of adjudicatory methods, in part on a sense of varying levels of import of cases within the federal docket, and in part on incentives created by legal rules andpractices.

FEDERAL BANKRUPTCY OR STATE COURT RECEIVERSHIP* JAMES E. MCCARTY** This subject requires consideration of the legal effect of chapter 128 of the Wisconsin Statutes of 1961, the legislative history thereof, the state court decisions construing and interpreting these various sections, and the history, legal effect, and scope of the federal bankruptcy act. History of the Federal Bankruptcy Act The United States Constitution' gives Congress the power "to establish . uniform laws on the subject of bankruptcies throughout the United States." This clause did not obligate Congress to pass a federal bankruptcy law nor did it deny the power of the states to pass 2 bankruptcy or insolvency laws. The first bankruptcy act was passed in 1800 and repealed less than four years later, and until 1841 there was no federal bankruptcy law in the United States. The second federal bankruptcy act was enacted in 1841 and was repealed within two or three years.
  • The DIY STEN Gun

    The DIY STEN Gun

    The DIY STEN Gun Practical Scrap Metal Small Arms Vol.3 By Professor Parabellum Plans on pages 11 to 18 Introduction The DIY STEN Gun is a simplified 1:1 copy of the British STEN MKIII submachine gun. The main differences however include the number of components having been greatly reduced and it's overall construction made even cruder. Using the simple techniques described, the need for a milling machine or lathe is eliminated making it ideal for production in the home environment with very limited tools. For obvious legal reasons, the demonstration example pictured was built as a non-firing display replica. It's dummy barrel consists of a hardened steel spike welded and pinned in place at the chamber end and a separate solid front portion protruding from the barrel shroud for display. It's bolt is also inert with no firing pin. This document is for academic study purposes only. (Disassembled: Back plug, recoil spring, bolt, magazine, sear and trigger displayed) (Non-functioning dummy barrel present on display model) Tools & construction techniques A few very basic and inexpensive power tools can be used to simulate machining actions usually reserved for a milling machine. Using a cheap angle grinder the average hobbyist has the ability to perform speedy removal of steel using a variety of cutting and grinding discs. Rather than tediously using a hacksaw to cut steel sheet, an angle grinder fitted with a 1mm slitting disc will accurately cut a straight line through steel of any thickness in mere seconds. Fitted with a 2mm disc it can be used to easily 'sculpt' thick steel into any shape in a fraction of the time it takes to manually use a hand file.

REVISION TO PROCEDURE 12.010, ROLL CALL AND PERSONNEL INSPECTION Procedure 12.010, Roll Call and Personnel Inspection has been revised. The Department began the transition to the Smith and Wesson M&P 2.0 pistol beginning in June, 2019. The M&P 2.0 is not equipped with a magazine safety disconnect, which will adversely affect the safety of Department members during the current iteration of roll call. A review of best practices, with the intent of keeping the safety of Department members and citizens the top priority, has resulted in the following changes to the conduction of roll calls: • Removed the command “Raise Pistols.” o Officers will continue to remove the magazine from the firearm, as well as the extra magazines from the magazine pouch, to be inspected.

    NZAR ID 350, ARM TYPE: SMG. Draft Date (V1) 4 July 2012, Compiled by John Osborne AA DTT Phd FSG, Pattern: M3 / M3A1 .45” ACP Caliber

    NZAR ID 350, ARM TYPE: SMG. Draft date (V1) 4 July 2012, Compiled by John Osborne AA DTT PhD FSG, Pattern: M3 / M3A1 .45” ACP caliber. Introduced: Late 1944. Withdrawn: after the Korean War Specifications: Caliber .45” ACP. Action: Blowback fires from open bolt. Cyclic rate: 450 rounds/min. Sights: Fixed 100m rear peep sight and blade foresight. Magazine: 30‐round detachable. Muzzle velocity: 280 m/s. Weight (magazine empty): 3.61 kg The M3 / M3A1 was considered a superior alternative to the Thompson submachine gun as it was cheaper to produce, lighter and more accurate. Commonly referred to as the "Grease Gun" the M3 / M3A1 began to replace the Thompson in front‐line service in late 1944 but saw relatively little combat use in World War II. During the Korean War, existing M3 guns in service were converted to the improved M3A1 configuration using new parts. Complaints of accidental discharge continued to occur even as late as the Korean War. These incidents were sometimes caused by dropping the gun on a hard surface with an impact sufficient to knock open the ejection port cover and propel the bolt backwards (but not enough to catch the sear). The return springs would then propel the bolt forward to pick up a cartridge from the magazine and carry it into the chamber, where the bolt's fixed firing pin struck the primer upon contact. During the Korean War the Ithaca Gun Co built 33,000 complete guns as well as manufacturing thousands of parts for the repair and rebuilding of existing M3 and M3A1s.

N Non-Government: Sources indicate that this type of weapon is held by non-Governmental armed groups. U Unspecified: Sources indicate that this type of weapon is found in the country, but do not specify whether it is held by Governmental agencies or non-Governmental armed groups. It is entirely possible to have a combination of tags beside each country. For example, if country X is tagged with a G and a U, it means that at least one source of data identifies Governmental agencies as holders of weapon type Y, and at least one other source confirms the presence of the weapon in country X without specifying who holds it. Note: This application is a living, non-comprehensive database, relying to a great extent on active contributions (provision and/or validation of data and information) by either SALW experts from the military and international renowned think tanks or by national and regional focal points of small arms control entities.
