Cependant, la légitimité des représentants élus tend à décroître dans les « vieilles » démocraties tandis que dans les pays qui instaurent une démocratie libérale après la chute d’un régime autoritaire ou d’une dictature, le désenchantement s’installe le plus souvent très rapidement. Pour être pleinement comprise, une telle situation appelle des enquêtes sur un élément central de la démocratie moderne : la représentation politique. Ce numéro a été réalisé avec le soutien de l'Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), de la Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) ainsi que de la DGLFLF.

Calogero, Jr. handed the key to the Royal Street Courthouse to the First Lady of Louisiana, Alice Foster, marking the start of a $7.2 million renovation and restoration phase of the historic courthouse building.

"Returning this awe-inspiring building to a home for the state's highest court demonstrates to citizens and visitors alike that we, the people of Louisiana, value our system of justice and our rich architectural history. This renovation will restore dignity and beauty to the courthouse as it was in the first half of the century," announced Chief Justice Calogero. The project was also heralded by officials and dignitaries representing civic, legal and business interests, including: Mayor Marc H. Morial, City of New Orleans; Judge Robert J.

  • Weighing Two Western Modes of Justice
    Presumption of Innocence or Presumption of Mercy?: Weighing Two Western Modes of Justice James Q. Whitman* American criminal law has a deep commitment to the presumption of innocence. Yet at the same time, American criminaljustice is, by international standards, extraordinarilyharsh. This Article addresses this troubling state of affairs. The Article contrasts the American approach with the approach of the inquisitorial tradition of continental Europe. Inquisitorialjustice, it argues, has a less far-reachingpresumption of innocence than American justice does. Yet if continentaljustice puts less weight on the rights of the innocent, it puts more on the rights of the guilty: while its presumption of innocence is comparatively weaker, it has what can be called a strong presumption of mercy. The continental approach produces forms of criminal procedure that can shock Americans. Continental trial in particularoften seems to American observers to operate on a disturbing de facto presumption of guilt; the most recent example is the high-profile trial of Amanda Knox. Yet the continental approach has contributed to the making of a significantly more humane criminaljustice system than ours. Moreover, the continental approach is better suited to cope with the rise of new forms of scientific investigation. The Article pleads for a shift away from the American culture of rights for the innocent toward a greaterconcern with continental-style rightsfor the guilty. I. Introduction Imagine two contrasting ideas of how to build a just system of criminal justice. The first is oriented toward the presumption of innocence. It starts from the belief that the gravest danger we face in criminal justice is the danger that innocent persons will be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted.

  • The Celebration Bicentennial Louisiana Supreme Court
    The Celebration of the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Supreme Court Ceremonies The Louisiana Supreme Court celebrated its 200th anniversary on March 1, 2013. As a special session of court, the Louisiana Supreme Court justices presided over the Bicentennial ceremony, which commemorated the Court’s two centuries of legal heritage. The ceremony took place at the Louisiana Supreme Court’s courtroom at 400 Royal Street in New Orleans. The event was free and open to the public, with the option of one hour of CLE accreditation for Louisiana attorneys. Justice Greg G. Guidry chaired the Court’s Bicentennial Committee, which was in charge of planning the ceremony. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne was the master of ceremonies. After Lieutenant Governor Dardenne’s opening address, the Washington Artillery presented the colors, which was followed by the Pledge of Allegiance, led by Donna D. Fraiche, President of the Supreme Court of Louisiana Historical Society. Bishop Shelton J. Fabre gave the invocation, and Chief Justice Bernette J. Johnson delivered welcoming remarks to the attendees. Four speakers discussed various aspects of the Court’s history, including A Walk Through the Streets of New Orleans at the Time of the Court’s Foundation, by Tulane Professor Richard Campanella; The Civilian Aspects of Louisiana Law, by LSU Law Professor John Randall Trahan; The Role of the Louisiana Supreme Court in the Early Civil Rights Movement, by UNO Emeritus Professor Raphael Cassimere, Jr.; and The History of the Louisiana Supreme Court, by UNO Emeritus Distinguished Professor of History and Bicentennial Court Historian Warren M. Billings. Students from the International High School of New Orleans took the stage following the speakers to present a short, trilingual play entitled An Uncommon Birth: Shaping Louisiana’s Legal Tradition for Statehood.

We have had a peaceful type of community here. Uh, basically speaking the negroes had their own little area of communities which we call along the - the old river, to the east of Marksville, and the whites uh more or less lived within the corporate limits of the city. Therefore, there was a separation. But not a separation when it came to being peaceful together. They knew their place, of course you know the standard things. They couldn’t go everywhere the whites could go, and they couldn’t do everything the whites could do. But they accepted that and there was never - never a confrontation of any sort.

You know, I don’t want to try anybody and convict anybody who is not guilty of a crime.
