YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.

Hallinanv, Committee of Bar Examiners (Calif. 1966). Terence Hallinan was refused certification for admission to practice law in California by the Committee of Bar Examiners upon a finding that he was not of "good moral character."' The Committee's de- termination was based on Hallinan's beliefs and activities in connec- tion with "civil disobedience" and, in particular, several misdemeanor convictions arising from these activities.2 In addition, Hallinan's past record included several fistfights and other conduct which the Com- mittee held indicated a disregard for the law and a propensity for vio- lence.3 The Committee's decision was made after lengthy hearings I "To be certified to the Supreme Court for admission and a license to practice law, a person ... shall: ...

Introduction In his essay, Asking Jurors To Do the Impossible,' Peter Tiersma identifies several ways in which jurors have difficult, if not impossible, roles to play and suggests several steps that courts could take to aid jurors in performing these roles. He offers a number of recommendations, such as having judges instruct jurors in plain and specific language, allowing jurors to ask questions about the instructions, and explaining to jurors the reasons for certain rules.2 His recommendations are sensible, and courts would do well to follow his advice. With the exception of his call for the creation of expert juries in technical cases,3 I agree with his recommendations, though I think there are good reasons to go even further than Tiersma does with several of the reforms he proposes.

Committee of Bar Examiners (Cal. 1966). Good moral character is a universally required professional qualification for an attorney.' There is however no agreement concerning what constitutes sufficient good moral character: 2 "Some there are who seem to think that [an attorney] should adhere to the standard prescribed for Caesar's wife. Others come close to insisting that the lawyer, as well as the Boy Scout, should be clean, reverent and brave." 3 In Hallinan v. Committee of Bar Examiners,4 the California Supreme Court found that an applicant for admission to the California bar possessed sufficient good moral character despite a number of arrests for acts of civil disobedience in civil rights demonstrations and a history of "alleged habitual and continuing resort to fisticuffs to settle personal differences." 5 This Note examines the Hallinan decision and the use of good moral character as a standard in determining fitness to practice law.
