Justices O'connor, Ginsburg to Address Members Oct. 23 ® August 2003 The Monthly Newspaper of the Philadelphia Bar Association Vol. 32, No. 8 Justices O’Connor, Ginsburg to Address Members Oct. 23 by Daniel A. Cirucci The Philadelphia Bar Association will mark an historic day on Thursday, Oct. 23 when Chancellor Audrey C. Talley welcomes U.S. Supreme Court Justices Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg as guest speakers for the quarterly lun- cheon meeting at the Philadelphia Marriott Hotel on Market Street. The rare joint appearance by the only women ever to sit on the nation’s highest court will mark the 10th anniversary presentation of the Association’s annual Sandra Day O’Connor Award and the presentation of the first Ruth Bader Ginsburg Award for legal writing. The O’Connor Award is given to a local woman lawyer who has best exemplified the ideals of Justice O’Connor.

  • Bayes Theorem and the Law
    PROBABILITY MODELS 21 5. Bayes Rule Suppose C1; C2;::: are mutually exclusive and exhaustive cases (hypotheses) and E is some event (evidence) that has been observed. We have some prior “belief” on each hypothesis, which we write P[C1]; P[C2];::: and we want to update our beliefs in the face of the evidence in E. By standard conditional probability calculations, we have P[Ci]P[E Ci] (10) P[Ci E] = P j ; for each j 1: j P[Cj]P[E Cj] ≥ j j (Note that if there are only two cases then P[C E] P[C] P[E C] j = j : P[Cc E] P[Cc] × P[E Cc] j j 5.1. Bayes theorem and the law. Bayesian reasoning naturally arises in connection with legal proceedings. For example, in a criminal trial, some crime was committed, for which they may be various hypotheses as to what happened and who is responsible. Evidence is collected in an attempt to deduce which of the hypotheses actually occurred. We assume that the hypotheses are exhaustive in the sense that they contain all reasonable scenarios and, most importantly, one of the hypotheses is correct. (This is not always the case.) In the language of Bayes rule (10): of all possible outcomes, there are several hypotheses that might be feasible (say, C1;:::; Ck) and we collect evidence to discern which hypothesis is most likely. Before seeing the evidence, we might have a belief (rather, a “hunch”) as to which of the hypotheses are more likely. After viewing the evidence, we update our beliefs (perhaps, according to Bayes rule).

The authors once again are unable to argue that any of the handwriting is Sir Henry Neville’s (their discussion of handwriting styles [239–40] is typically confused), and there is no reason to think that the scribbled name “Nevill” refers to him. It is more likely to refer to a different branch of the family related to the earls of Northumberland, in whose papers the manuscript was found.

  • A Critique of the FX Mini-Series the People Vs. O.J. Simpson
    A Critique of the FX Mini-Series The People vs. O.J. Simpson Jerry Eckert 2017 @All Rights Reserved On February 26, 2016, I began posting weekly commentaries on the FX docudrama series The People vs. O.J. Simpson. They were originally posted to http://www.jerryeckert.blogspot.com/. This critique is based on those blog commentaries. I have given Mike Griffith permission to post this on his website. O.J. didn’t do it. Ten years ago, I undertook a careful study of the O.J. Simpson case. It became the backdrop of a novel I wrote at the time in which I solved the murders of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman. Hardly anyone believed me. Now “American Crime Stories,” a fairly popular television show, is presenting a mini-series about O.J.'s case. Blurbs about the series say it does not attempt to give full evidence but seeks more to dramatize the dynamics surrounding the case, such as police-on-black violence, spousal abuse, and privilege of the wealthy. Even so, it still must offer evidence or it could not accurately portray the story. I will be looking to see if the evidence is adequately provided, if evidence is omitted, or if evidence is inaccurately presented. You know I believe he was innocent. You must also know that the book on which the TV series is based, The Run of His Life, is written by someone who believes O.J. is guilty. The author, Jeffery Toobin, says as much in the book. Update: He reaffirmed his belief again on March 5 in a New Yorker magazine essay.
