    Remarks by Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants Recognizing Justice Hines Supreme Judicial Court Seven Justice Courtroom John Adams Courthouse Boston, MA May 4, 2017 Supreme Judicial Court Chief Justice Ralph D. Gants made special remarks prior to oral arguments on May 4, 2017, recognizing retiring Supreme Judicial Court Justice Geraldine S. Hines. Justice Hines: When Justice Geraldine Hines was nominated to serve on the Supreme Judicial Court, she pledged to Governor Deval Patrick, "I will labor with every fiber of my being to validate your trust in my ability to be a wise and fair judge of every issue that comes before the court." I can attest, as can every other Justice who has sat with you these past three years, that you have been true to that pledge. You have brought to this court not only your abundant wisdom and fairness, but also your passion for the truth, your enormous capacity to listen (not only to what is said but to what has remained unsaid), your uncommon good sense, your grace, your humor, and your courage. You have patience for all but the pompous. And unsparingly, you speak truth to power. You have been speaking truth to power since you were a small girl growing up in the segregated South, the oldest of ten children, living on the edge of poverty in the heart of Jim Crow. At the age of sixteen, inspired by a mother who, in your words, "prayed without ceasing," you enrolled in Tougaloo College in Jackson, Mississippi. Upon graduation in 1968, you enrolled in the University of Wisconsin Law School, where you joined the Black Student Alliance's efforts to create a black studies department and recruit more black faculty and students.

    Notes on a Terrorism Trial •Fi Preventive Prosecution, Â

    Notes on a Terrorism Trial – Preventive Prosecution, “Material Support” and The Role of The Judge after United States v. Mehanna George D. Brown* Abstract The terrorism trial of Tarek Mehanna, primarily for charges of providing “material support” to terrorism, presented elements of a preventive prosecution as well as the problem of applying Holder v. Humanitarian Law Project (HLP) to terrorism‐related speech. This Article examines both aspects of the case, with emphasis on the central role of the trial judge. As criminal activity becomes more amorphous, the jury looks to the judge for guidance. His rulings on potentially prejudicial evidence which may show just how much of a “terrorist” the defendant is are the key aspect of this guidance. If the defendant is found guilty, the sentence imposed by the judge can have a profound impact on future preventive prosecutions. Particularly important is the judge’s handling of the Sentencing Guidelines’ “Terrorism Enhancement.” As for speech issues, there is enough ambiguity in HLP to let lower courts formulate and apply its test differently. HLP emphasizes co‐ordination with a foreign terrorist organization before speech can be criminalized. There is now movement toward a concept of one‐way coordination that can turn speech prosecutions into a form of general prevention of potential terrorists. All of these issues were central to Mehanna. The Article’s analysis of how the trial court handled them is meant to increase understanding of them, and to highlight the central role of the judge. I.

  • Aaron's Law: Bringing Sensibility to the Computer Fraud and Abuse

    Aaron's Law: Bringing Sensibility to the Computer Fraud and Abuse

    AARON’S LAW: BRINGING SENSIBILITY TO THE COMPUTER FRAUD AND ABUSE ACT Mark Murfin* I. INTRODUCTION “Stealing is stealing, whether you use a computer command or a crowbar, and whether you take documents, data or dollars. It is equally harmful to the victim whether you sell what you have stolen or give it away.”1 With those words, U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Carmen Ortiz celebrated the indictment of twenty-four-year-old Aaron Swartz for allegedly downloading and distributing a substantial proportion of JSTOR’s digitized academic journal archive.2 Eighteen months later, Aaron Swartz tragically committed suicide.3 While the exact reasons for his actions will probably never be clear, his family claims that the prosecutors wanted to make an example out of Swartz, and the overzealous attack they mounted against him contributed to his depression and suicide.4 The case against him rested on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986 (CFAA), a law enacted well before the coming of age of the Internet and the dawn of the information age.5 If given the maximum sentence allowed by the CFAA, Aaron Swartz would have spent thirty-five years in prison; more days than he had seen in his entire life.6 To an Internet prodigy who made significant contributions to it by the age of fourteen,7 this shadow of imprisonment might as well have been a death sentence. * Mark Murfin is a third-year law student expecting his J.D. from Southern Illinois University School of Law in May 2014. 1.
