Del Sole asked me, as chairman of the Archives Committee, to compile the induction ceremonies of the Judges of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania. During the process of gathering the induction ceremonies, it became obvious that once collected, we would need a method to preserve and to present the ceremonies. As progress was made, the project expanded to include photographs, other ceremonies and, in some cases, biographies of some of our Judges. The publishing of the accumulated material in this volume completes the task for the first sixty-seven judges of our Court. In this volume we have included photographs, biographies and all known ceremonial sessions relevant to our first sixty-seven commissioned judges. While we have attempted to be all inclusive, we were unable to find ceremonies for all Judges. In cases where a ceremony could not be found, we have used other appropriate writings or a biography highlighting that particular Judge’s career. The Honorable John T. Bender 87th Commissioned Judge of the Superior Court of Pennsylvania June 2008 Installations and Other Ceremonial Sessions of the Pennsylvania Superior Court 15 THE HONORABLE CHARLES EDMUND RICE September 15, 1846 – May 16, 1919 Assumed Office Date: June 28, 1895 President Judge 1895-1915 County: Luzerne MEMORIAL SERVICE And now, to wit: July 17, 1919, it is ordered, that, this statement, expressive of our sense of loss and appreciation of the life and character of the late President Judge CHARLES E. RICE, be spread at length on the records of the court. BY THE COURT. HONORABLE CHARLES EDMUND RICE died at Wilkes- Barre, May 16, 1919. He was born at Fairfield, Herkimer County, New York, September 15, 1846. His early years were spent as a country boy interested in all of the things that make youth of such a boy; gifted with a healthy body and an alert, receptive mind, charmed with sports and school service, and giving promise of a useful career in the world of men. He matured early, was graduated from Hamilton College in 1867, from the Albany Law School in 1869, and was admitted to the bar of Luzerne County the same year; serving as its district attorney from 16 Installations and Other Ceremonial Sessions of the Pennsylvania Superior Court 1877 to January 1, 1880. From that date to 1895, he was president judge of the courts of that judicial district. The Superior Court of Pennsylvania was constituted by an Act of June 24, 1895, P.L. 212. Judge RICE was commissioned as its president judge by Governor Daniel H. Hastings, to serve from July 1, 1895, until the first Monday in January, 1896. He was elected for the full term and commissioned to serve for ten years from the first Monday of January, 1896. He was again elected in 1905, and commissioned to serve for a period of ten years from the first Monday of January, 1906. He declined re-election, which was tendered to him open-handed by all the political parties of the State, accompanied by the unanimous request of the profession. It is impossible to put into words his service to the profession. He was never engaged in or identified with any business undertaking. The law was his mistress, and to her he rendered assiduous and loyal service. Guided by the simplest and kindliest ideals, with an entire absence of pretence he combined with the highest standard of clean living, a thorough and accurate knowledge of the law, and the ability to use it effectively in dealing with all complicated, legal problems. Neither public clamor nor personal friendship ever swerved him from the straight, clear line of official duty. His courage and loyalty to service were always consistent. As a fair illustration: When he was district attorney of Luzerne County, at the conclusion of a trial he stated to the court, “There should be no conviction.” Despite his protest, a conviction was secured. He refused to move for sentence, and on review by the Supreme Court, he appeared at its bar and stated, “That he was obliged to say under his oath of office, that there should have been no conviction.” The judgment was reversed in a scathing opinion by PAXSON, C.J., in which he said: “There was no evidence to justify the jury in rendering a verdict of guilty or the court in sustaining it. The jury were not only erroneously instructed upon the law, but were palpably misled by the comments of the court upon the evidence.” The record of such abuse of judicial power, and the courage of a conscientious district attorney is preserved for the profession in Pauli v. Commonwealth, 89 Pa. 432. He was regarded by the profession not only as an able jurist and honest man, but a firm, fair, and courtly administrator of the law. He believed in and exemplified the highest standards of private and public rectitude, and all who were brought Installations and Other Ceremonial Sessions of the Pennsylvania Superior Court 17 within the zone of his influence measured him as foremost of all their associates. His written language was a transcript of his mind, and he was studious that all things should be done uprightly, deliberately and resolutely. The names of the parties, of counsel, the court from which the appeal was taken, were irrelevant and immaterial matters in forming his conclusion.

  • An Investigation of Police Brutality in News Media
    1 An Investigation of Police Brutality in News Media Media Narratives and Narrative Icons as Argumentation and Communal Identity Douglas Phillips 2 Abstract This dissertation explores the ways in which narratives about decisive events coalesce in news media discourse, and how they function rhetorically. Specifically, this study examines how journalists frame stories about police brutality, how those frames construct versions of public narratives, and how those narrative versions can be used in discourse about issues of civic concern such as support for new community policing policies or opposition to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. I show how journalists’ choice of semantic frames (e.g., racism, police-community relations, or criminal justice) helps to shape readers’ understanding of the events and contributes to the formation of a narrative icon, a word, name, or short phrase that, absent narrative detail, indexes particular versions of a broader cultural narrative. This research is motivated by questions about the reciprocity between prior knowledge, audience expectations, and public discourse, and how those combine to shape or reinforce cultural values and communal identities. To explore these questions, I draw on scholarship in narrative theory, frame semantics, intertextual analysis, and argument. I analyze over 1,700 newspaper articles published in the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Sentinel, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and New Pittsburgh Courier between 1991 and 2013 concerning incidents of police brutality, including Rodney King and Jonny Gammage, a Black man who died following a traffic stop in Pittsburgh, PA. My findings suggest three primary functions of narratives in news media discourse: as background information, as examples used to establish or illustrate a rule, or as points of comparison.

The CCC camp at Fort Necessity existed for only two and one-half years, from June 1935, through December 1937.

The first section opens with a brief overview of the CCC program in general. No attempt was made here to tell its whole story, as many books have already been written on the subject. This overview is followed by the administrative history at Fort Necessity, with papers following that are of particular interest to the camp.

INTRODUCTION War crimes trials are almost commonplace today as the normal course of events that follow modern-day wars and atrocities. In the North Atlantic, we use the liberal legal tradition to redress the harm caused to civilians by the state and its agents during periods of State and inter-State conflict. The truth is, war crimes trials are a recent invention. There were so-called war crimes trials after World War I, but they were not prosecuted with any real conviction or political will.

Most judges remain faithful to the rigid framework of judicial opinion writing that dominates the shelves of law libraries throughout the country. But some judges utilize certain cases to summon their inner novelist or poet to add life and flavor to the pages of the case reporters. These judges are both authors and artists. The use of humor, poetry, and popular culture in judicial opinions has many benefits but is not without its critics. This Article analyzes the role of a judge as an author of judicial opinions and compares the costs and benefits of judges bringing their outside artistic skills and experience to bear on their judicial opinions.

  • The Eichmann Trial the Eichmann Trial
    The Eichmann Trial The Eichmann Trial EUROPEAN JEWRY BEFORE AND AFTER HITLER by SALO W. BARON A HISTORIAN, not an eyewitness or a jurist, I shall concern myself with the historical situation of the Jewish people before, during, and after the Nazi onslaught—the greatest catastrophe in Jewish history, which has known many catastrophes. A historian dealing with more or less contemporary problems con- fronts two major difficulties. The first is that historical perspective usu- ally can be attained only after the passage of time. The second is that much relevant material is hidden away in archives and private collec- tions, which are usually not open for inspection until several decades have passed. In this instance, however, the difficulties have been re- duced. The world has been moving so fast since the end of World War JJ, and the situation of 1961 so little resembles that of the 1930's, that one may consider the events of a quarter of a century ago as belonging almost to a bygone historic era, which the scholarly investigator can view with a modicum of detachment. In fact, a new generation has been growing up which "knew not Hitler." For its part, the older generation is often eager to forget the nightmare of the Nazi era. Hence that period has receded in the consciousness of man as if it had occurred long ago. This article is based on a memorandum that Professor Baron prepared for himself when he was invited to testify at the Eichmann trial, in April 1961, on the Jewish communities destroyed by the Nazis.

    FROM WEIMAR TO NUREMBERG: A HISTORICAL CASE STUDY OF TWENTY-TWO EINSATZGRUPPEN OFFICERS A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts James L. Taylor November 2006 This thesis entitled FROM WEIMAR TO NUREMBERG: A HISTORICAL CASE STUDY OF TWENTY-TWO EINSATZGRUPPEN OFFICERS by JAMES L. TAYLOR has been approved for the Department of History and the College of Arts and Sciences by Norman J. W. Goda Professor of History Benjamin M. Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences Abstract TAYLOR, JAMES L., M.A., November 2006, Modern European History FROM WEIMAR TO NUREMBERG: A HISTORICAL CASE STUDY OF TWENTY- TWO EINSATZGRUPPEN OFFICERS (134 pp.) Director of Thesis: Norman J. W. Goda This is an examination of the motives of twenty-two perpetrators of the Jewish Holocaust. Each served as an officer of the Einsatzgruppen, mobile killing units which beginning in June 1941, carried out mass executions of Jews in the German-occupied portion of the Soviet Union. Following World War II the subjects of this study were tried before a U.S. Military Tribunal as part of the thirteen Nuremberg Trials, and this study is based on the records of their trial, known as Case IX or more commonly as the Einsatzgruppen Trial. From these records the thesis concludes that the twenty-two men were shaped politically by their experiences during the Weimar Era (1919-1932), and that as perpetrators of the Holocaust their actions were informed primarily by the tenets of Nazism, particularly anti-Semitism.

All rights reserved Joseph Sill Clark Papers Collection 1958 Joseph Sill Clark Papers, 1947-1968 Collection 1958 319 boxes, 224 linear feet Creator: Clark, Joseph Sill, 1901-1990 Abstract Joseph Sill Clark was a Democratic reform politician from Philadelphia. Early in his career he served as campaign manager for Richardson Dilworth's mayoral campaign, 1947, and as Philadelphia city controller, 1950-1951. He served as mayor of Philadelphia, 1951-1956, and from 1957 to 1968 he was a United States senator from Pennsylvania. This collection is a partial record of Clark career. It consists primarily of material gathered by staff, reports, memoranda, clippings, news releases, articles, with some correspondence, all on issues and events with which Clark was involved. A small portion of the papers are concerned with Clark's early activities as campaign manager for Richardson Dilworth's mayoral campaign, 1947, and as Philadelphia city controller, 1950-1951, for which there are campaign and office files. Clark's records as mayor of Philadelphia, 1951-1956, include campaign papers, some general office files, and transcripts of speeches. The bulk of material covers Clark's years as United States senator from Pennsylvania, 1957-1968. There are papers for his three senatorial campaigns, 1956, 1962, and especially 1968. His Washington office general file reflects his interest in disarmament, the United Nations, Vietnam, and other matters before and after his appointment to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in 1965.
