Edgar Hoover of the Fb(P)I
1 DIRECTOR J. EDGAR HOOVER OF THE FB(P)I BLACKMAILER-IN-CHIEF 1905 The Department of Justice created a Bureau of Criminal Identification as a centralized reference collection for the fingerprints of American citizens.2 FBI The United States Military Academy had always been merely an engineering school. Late in this year, wrestling and boxing were added to its curriculum to satisfy President Theodore Roosevelt. The Point’s wrestling coach from 1906 until 1942 would be one-eyed Tom Jenkins, a former national champion from Cleveland whose motto was “There ain’t no hold that can’t be broke.” 1907 The Hoover vacuum cleaner and Maytag washer were introduced. 1. The Federal Bureau of Persecution through “Investigation.” 2. No standard would ever be developed as to precisely how many points of similarity a crime scene fingerprint needs to possess, in order to constitute “a positive match” with a fingerprint from this file. Some investigators would require 18 points of similarity, some as few as 8 — it appears that this has come to depend entirely upon how identified an individual investigator is, with the incarceration of the guilty as opposed to the freedom of the innocent, and with how apt that expert is at approximating an attitude of sincerity while on the witness stand. If, some fine day, someone accuses you of having been in a place where you have never been, and of having done something that you know you would never do, please do not take this personally — it’s just our system.

Introduction In the thirteenth century, Emperor Frederick II proclaimed instruments written on paper to be invalid.1 Despite resistance from the legal community, however, paper was eventually deemed to be dignified enough to replace parchment in legal use.2 Centuries later, typewriters made handwritten documents obsolete, although lawyers realized that they made forgery much simpler.3 Time and again, technologically new ways of conducting business encounter initial resistance, but ultimately are embraced by the common law. The law ultimately seeks fairness and ease of trade, preferring the substance of a transaction over its form. Attorneys sense, with good reason, that the law will track technological changes, and they gladly put new technology to use. Today, the choice of the medium through which a transaction is executed affects the negotiation process. Often, the methods successfully employed in one case might be ineffective in another.4 Rather than dismissing electronic transactions just because the controls are imperfect,5 lawyers must acquire new skills to negotiate effectively in the electronic world. -

The NAACP's Rape Docket and the Origins of Criminal Procedure
UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA JOURNAL OF LAW ANDSOCIAL CHANGE Volume 24, Number 3 2021 THE NAACP’S RAPE DOCKET AND THE ORIGINS OF CRIMINAL PROCEDURE BY SCOTT W. STERN* Abstract. This Article provides the definitive account of the surprisingly voluminous docket of rape cases argued by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). It argues, for the first time, that the NAACP’s rape docket was central to the development of modern criminal procedure—to the establishment of the right to counsel, the right to remain silent, the right to a trial free from mob violence or influence, the right against self-incrimination via a coerced confession, and the right to a jury of one’s peers selected without discrimination. Drawing on original archival research, this Article demonstrates that all of these rights have their origins in the hundreds of cases argued by the NAACP on behalf of Black men accused of sexual assault by white women. This Article also argues that these cases were central to the development of the NAACP’s legal department, the relationships between local branches and the national office, and the careers of the famous civil rights attorneys—from Charles Hamilton Houston to Jack Greenberg—who rose to national prominence with the NAACP. Thus, these cases were central to the development of civil rights litigation itself. Indeed, the first significant Supreme Court case argued for the NAACP by a Black attorney was an interracial rape case. The first Supreme Court case ever argued by a Black woman, Constance Baker Motley, was an interracial rape case. -

CITY OF LOS ANGELES Argued and Submitted February 11, 2013—Pasadena, California Filed May 31, 2013 Before: Alex Kozinski, Chief Judge, Andrew J. Kleinfeld and Barry G. Silverman, Circuit Judges. Opinion by Judge Silverman; Dissent by Judge Kleinfeld SUMMARY* Civil Rights The panel reversed the district court’s judgment in favor of defendants the City of Los Angeles and others and remanded for a new trial in these consolidated actions brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 after plaintiffs’ murder convictions were vacated. Plaintiffs were released from jail after, on retrial, a key eyewitness recanted testimony that was allegedly obtained as a result of coercive and abusive investigative techniques. The panel held that in plaintiffs’ § 1983 actions, the district court erred in instructing the jury about the level of culpability required for a deliberate fabrication of evidence claim under the Fourteenth Amendment.
