ABSTRACT Personal plight legal practice includes all legal work for individual clients whose needs arise from disputes. This is the site of our worst access to justice problems. The goal of this project is to identify sustainable innovations that can make the services of personal plight law firms more accessible to all Canadians. Accessibility is vitally important, but it is not the only thing that matters in personal plight legal practice. Thus, this book seeks out innovations that not only improve accessibility, but also preserve or enhance service quality as well as law firms’ profitability.

NATIONAL CRIME COMMISSION CONFERENCE E. R. CASS2 Crime, from whatever standpoint it is considered, is seen to transcend in importance most of the other great problems of the day. It is a more complex, phenomenon than is generally supposed, and is a constant source of degradation of public and private morality. The citizens of many states have been aroused because of crime, more particularly spectacular crime, and the many statements, some accurate, and too many inaccurate, relative to it and the treatment of the criminal. Attempts to determine the exact *crime situation and its causes bring forth marked differences of opinion. Many reforms are proposed, and cover the entire range of administrative activities from the pblice to the final Court of Appeals, and even the conduct of governors in criminal matters. Each separate official agency dealing with crime defends its methods and attempts to place the responsi- bility elsewhere.

  • Retributive Hatred As a Reactive Moral Attitude
    Retributive Hatred as a Reactive Moral Attitude Jeramy S. Gee A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2014 Reading Committee: Jean Roberts (Chair) Stephen Gardiner Ingra Schellenberg Cass Weller Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Philosophy ©Copyright 2014 Jeramy S. Gee University of Washington Abstract Retributive Hatred as a Reactive Moral Attitude Jeramy S. Gee Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Jean Roberts Department of Philosophy Philosophers’ attention to negative attitudes has grown in recent decades. However, whereas philosophers have offered a number of descriptions of, and justifications for, attitudes like resentment and contempt, hatred is usually met with antipathy even when we might be inclined to be sympathetic to the hater. In this dissertation I offer a sustained examination of hatred I and make a rather startling claim: There are cases of hatred that are morally justifiable. The kind of hatred I defend is what some philosophers have called retributive hatred. This is hatred adopted in response to wrongdoing and in which hostility is driven by a retributive notion of moral desert. To make my case I argue that retributive hatred is distinguishable from such attitudes as prejudicial hatred, malice, and spite—attitudes with which it is often confused—and that it is not liable to the kinds of criticisms that can be levied against these types of hatred. I then show that retributive hatred should be classified among the reactive attitudes. Thus there are conditions governing when retributive haters can be understood as properly representing their targets as hateful and I argue that these conditions can be met.

NOTES BRECHT V AB SON: HARD JUSTICE FOR STATE PRISONERS? On April I, 1975, the defendant, a former police officer, kid- napped a 16 year-old girl while she was waiting to pick up her school- teacher mother.' At gunpoint, he handcuffed the girl and took her to his home, with the intention of raping her.' After noticing the young girl looking around the house, as if she were trying to memorize every detail, the defendant took the young girl to a secluded spot and fatally shot her in the head with a .357 pistol." The defendant left the girl's body where it fell and drove to the outskirts of the town, where he abandoned the girl's car on the highway, hazard lights flashing, and hitchhiked to town.4 During the defendant's trial for capital murder, the State intro- duced expert testimony indicating that the victim had bruises on her wrists from handcuffs and that a .357 bullet killed her.' Other testi- mony showed that the defendant possessed handcuffs with traces of blood of the same type as the victim's.° The State also introduced testimony of witnesses that linked the defendant to the area near the abandoned car.

  • A Marquette Lawyer
    FOUR MODELS OF WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A MARQUETTE LAWYER At Marquette Law School’s annual alumni awards event on April 3, 2019, at Eckstein Hall, Dean Joseph D. Kearney referred to the four recipients as “anomalies.” In fact, he applied that term to all of the several hundred people who attended the program. “There is no requirement that anyone remain involved with his or her law school, years after graduation,” Kearney said. He said that he was happy to label the alumni being honored as “anomalies” who didn’t float on the ebbing tide that, as time passes, carries many lawyers far away from connections to the law school from which they graduated. The four award recipients have followed diverse career paths, each with great success. But the bond they still feel to Marquette Law School—and the ways they continue to show this—brought them together. In the words of Marquette University’s President Michael R. Lovell in introducing the event, the awards “honor what makes Marquette great—that is, our graduates and the work that they do, going out to change the world.” Here are edited excerpts from the presentations given about each of the recipients and the recipients’ acceptance speeches. ALUMNA OF THE YEAR JUSTICE ANNETTE ZIEGLER, L’89 From Dean Joseph D. Kearney The Honorable Annette Kingsland Ziegler arrived to law school and the legal profession largely without direct examples: In particular, she had no lawyers in her family. At the same time, she brought parts of her upbringing to the endeavor: Among other things, a job in the hardware store that her parents owned outside Grand Rapids, Michigan, gave her both considerable experience in working with people and an appreciation of the value of hard work.
