Hearsay Evidence Chapter 2. Exceptions to the Hearsay Rule Article 3. Prior Statements of Witnesses GO TO CALIFORNIA CODES ARCHIVE DIRECTORY Cal Evid Code § 1236 (2010) § 1236. Prior consistent statement Evidence of a statement previously made by a witness is not made inadmissible by the hearsay rule if the statement is consistent with his testimony at the hearing and is offered in compliance with Section 791. HISTORY: Enacted Stats 1965 ch 299 § 2, operative January 1, 1967. NOTES: Law Revision Commission Comments: 1965 Under existing law, a prior statement of a witness that is consistent with his testimony at the trial is admissible under certain conditions when the credibility of the witness has been attacked. The statement is admitted, however, only to rehabilitate the witness--to support his credibility--and not as evidence of the truth of the matter stated. People v. Kynette, 15 Cal.2d 731, 753-754, 104 P.2d 794, 805-806 (1940) (overruled on other grounds in People v. Snyder, 50 Cal.2d 190, 197, 324 P.2d 1, 6 (1958)). Section 1236, however, permits a prior consistent statement of a witness to be used as substantive evidence if the statement is otherwise admissible under the rules relating to the rehabilitation of impeached witnesses. -

Marital Rape: an Evaluation of the Patriarchal Injustice in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013
Christ University Law Journal, 3, 2 (2014), 97-112 ISSN 2278-4322|doi.org/10.12728/culj.5.6 Marital Rape: An Evaluation of the Patriarchal Injustice in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 Shivika Choudhary* Abstract The traditional belief that marriage provides a husband with sole rights over his wife, thereby exempting him from any prosecution for raping his wife, has been the justification for denying a woman the right to consent to sexual intercourse in marriage. Unfortunately, this belief has been a source of subjugation and exploitation of women at the behest of their husbands. Despite recommendations to revoke it, the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 has retained the marital exception. The purpose of this article is to examine this dichotomy in the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013 that punishes rape as such, but does not penalise a husband raping his wife of fifteen years or above. Employing doctrinal method of research, this article analyses the various discrepancies and ambiguities in the Act of 2013 that perpetuate this culture of oppression and violence. Consent is the antithesis to rape. Thus, having examined the need for a married woman‟s right to consent, this note examines the ensuing lacunae that grant legal sanction to child marriages, create an unexplained discrepancy in the punishment for rape, and create variations in the age of consent and the age for availing exception. The recognition of marital rape when spouses live separately and not otherwise appears to be a mysterious distinction.

Wisconsin's Role in the Uniform Law Commission

Introduction The Uniform Law Commission1 (ULC), composed of state delegations and financially supported by the states, crafts legislation for potential enactment by state legislatures. The mission of the ULC is to create uniformity among the states in areas of law in which uniformity is desirable and practicable,2 such as those involving cross-border business transactions or the dissolution of marriages with spouses living in different states. To this end, ULC Commissioners research and draft proposed legislation and the ULC, through deliberative, formal proceedings resembling those of state legislatures, votes to adopt drafted proposals as “final acts” ready for state consideration. The ULC describes its work as providing states with “non-partisan, well-conceived and well-drafted legislation that brings clarity and stability to critical areas of state statutory law.”3 The quintessential uni- form law is the Uniform Commercial Code, developed to facilitate multistate commer- cial transactions by applying uniform rules for all of the transaction’s participants, wher- ever located. -

THE OHIO "SUNSHINE" ACT: AN APPRAISAL by FREDERIC WHITE* T HE OHIO OPEN MEETINGS or "Sunshine" law has existed in its present form since November 28, 1975 [hereinafter the "Sunshine Law" or "The Act"].' So-called open meeting legislation is neither new or unique to Ohio. Indeed, every state has enacted one or more open meetings laws.2 This article will examine the Sunshine Law to determine whether it has served its purpose, that is, making the processes of government more accessible to the citizens of the state of Ohio, and suggest some changes to increase the effectiveness of the legislation.

(a) The People of the State of California find and declare all of the following: (1) Criminal activity has a serious impact on the citizens of California. The rights of victims of crime and their families in criminal prosecutions are a subject of grave statewide concern. (2) Victims of crime are entitled to have the criminal justice system view criminal acts as serious threats to the safety and welfare of the people of California. The enactment of comprehensive provisions and laws ensuring a bill of rights for victims of crime, including safeguards in the criminal justice system fully protecting those rights and ensuring that crime victims are treated with respect and dignity, is a matter of high public importance. California’s victims of crime are largely dependent upon the proper functioning of government, upon the criminal justice system and upon the expeditious enforcement of the rights of victims of crime described herein, in order to protect the public safety and to secure justice when the public safety has been compromised by criminal activity. -

Essay Codification and the California Mentality by LEwIS GROSSMAN* Introduction: The Pomeroy Paradox On August 8, 1878, John Norton Pomeroy, the principal instruc- tor at the newly established Hastings College of Law in San Francisco, delivered the school's inaugural address. It was the culminating mo- ment of an exhilarating decade for California's legal profession. Six years earlier, in 1872, California had moved to the forefront of American legal reform by becoming one of the first states in the nation to codify its complete body of laws. The legislature had en- acted the California Code, which included new Civil, Criminal, and Political Codes, as well as a revised Code of Civil Procedure. Com- mittees of prominent attorneys had drafted the Code, basing it largely on the work of the illustrious New York jurist, David Dudley Field.' The centerpiece of the California Code was the Civil Code, which consolidated all of the state's statutory and common-law rules gov- erning private relations (corporations, property, torts, contracts, and domestic matters) into one meticulously arranged volume.2 Only * Associate, Covington & Burling, Washington, D.C.
