When there are more jobs than qualified individuals, individuals will move to maximize their benefits. Morale Morale and perceptions act as a multiplying factor when there is a surplus of demand. Individuals are more likely to pursue other jobs when agency moral is low or there are perceptions of no upward mobility. Monetary Rewards Employees are motivated to seek other employment based on monetary gains. It is natural for individuals to want to maximize their earning potential, which is often easier achieved by relocating to another agency or profession. Salaries in the criminal justice profession are disproportionate between the agencies (starting salaries varied by 287% for law enforcement according to the 1999 CJAP). Turnover is creating increased compensation for those that are mobile, especially when retirement and other benefits are transferable. Risk vs. Reward

Many provide records about convictions only. Be aware: There is no national criminal database available to those outside of law enforcement.

While helpful, the list is not the official record of denied privileges. "Export Privileges are denied by written order of the Department of Commerce.

Extractions: The following Glossary of Terms is a limited resource on the criminal justice system and the political process. The glossary offers information about the judicial process for defendants as well as a sense of the initiative process for citizens . Terms are hyperlinked from all criminal justice and political process terms that appear elsewhere on this site. Alternative Sentencing A sentence that serves as an alternative to incarceration . In many states, alternative sentencing efforts include required community service, drug and alcohol rehabilitation, psychiatric rehabilitation, and some educational or vocational programs. Every state in the US has some form of "alternative" punishments. Appeal Following a conviction , the convicted person may apply for his or her case to be brought before a higher court in order to "appeal" the previous judgment of the case. All states allow some kind of appeals process, but it varies from state to state. Most allow two appeals: one "as of right" to an intermediate appeals court, and the second as a "discretionary" appeal to the state's highest appeals court. The second appeal is called discretionary because the court can decide whether or not to take the case. The intermediate appeals court has no choice about taking the first appeal.
Substantive Law On The Web California (Fully searchable case law and code database from 1934 to present. Tennessee criminal law Texas Statutes and codes http://www.macattorney.com/law.html
Extractions: Attorney at Law It would be very convenient if all state and federal codes, statutes, and caselaw were available on the World Wide Web. This would give lay people easy access to the laws that they must follow and it would allow attorneys to do legal research without having to leave their office to go to a law library, or pay for expensive collections of casebooks. Unfortunately, economic realities dictate that we may never see all of the substantive law of all the states on the Web. Several states receive quite a bit of income by selling the exclusive rights to publish that state's caselaw. In addition, it is quite expensive to publish and maintain a web site, and money for such a project is not available in all states. Caselaw on the Web ideally would include decisions from at least the last 30 years, a sophistocated search engine for locating relevant law, case summaries, headnotes, etc. Providing all of these on a Web site would be very expensive. Given the above, it is impressive how much substantive law
Criminal Law A crime is a violation of a specific law (federal, state or local) that prohibits certain Collectively, these are generally known as the criminal code. http://www.uscg.mil/d7/d7dl/criminal_law.htm
Extractions: A crime is a violation of a specific law (federal, state or local) that prohibits certain behaviors or activities. Collectively, these are generally known as the "criminal code." Crimes are generally broken down into two categories: felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are crimes that are punishable by a sentence that includes more than one year in jail. Misdemeanors are less serious offenses. These categories are normally further divided. For example, in Florida, there are five classes of felonies (capital felonies, life felonies, first degree felonies, second degree felonies, and third degree felonies). Misdemeanors in Florida are divided into first degree misdemeanors (punishable by up to one year in ' jail and a $1,000 fine) and second degree misdemeanors (punishable by up to 60 days in jail, and a $500 fine). ARE TRAFFIC TICKETS CRIMINAL? In some states some traffic offenses (usually moving violations) are classified as criminal offenses. Other states consider minor traffic violations to be "infractions" and do not consider them criminal. Because a non-criminal traffic infraction is not a crime less evidence is necessary to prove the infraction and a jury trial is usually not available. Once charges have been filed, the suspect is ordered to appear before a court. If the person is not yet in police custody, an arrest warrant may be issued. In some cases, an order or summons to appear may be used in place of an arrest. A court will initially determine if there is probable cause to believe the suspect committed the crime charged. Bail must also be set "promptly". The exact timing of these steps will vary from state to state, but must be within 72 hours of an arrest.
52 ARRESTED IN FLORIDA STATE DRIVER'S LICENSE SCHEME A criminal complaint against Frasier charges her with knowingly and unlawfully and Drivers Licenses Division, florida Department of law Enforcement, http://www.ice.gov/graphics/news/newsreleases/articles/dmv042805.htm
Extractions: Enforcement Action Follows Similar Cases in Maryland and Michigan in the Last Week A total of fifty-two (52) individuals were taken into custody as a result of this five (5) month multi-agency investigation led by ICE. In addition to the twenty-three (23) criminally charged defendants, another twenty-nine (29) other individuals have been taken into custody by ICE and face administrative charges for violations of immigration laws. Of the fifty-two (52) individuals taken into custody, thirty-six (36) had obtained Florida state commercial drivers licenses, certifications to haul hazardous materials, or access to ports of South Florida. As reflected in the criminal complaints, the scheme included three (3) Drivers License Examiners and associates working outside that would recruit the commercial license recipients. After contact with a recruiter, the prospective recipients would contact an examiner and conspirators would then contact an examiner and present her with the necessary paperwork. The examiners, as charged, would then falsely certify the illegal aliens citizenship as legal or United States citizen. The examiners would charge a fee of $100 to $200, while the recruiters would charge $1,500 to $3,000 thousand dollars. This investigation has demonstrated how the corrupt acts of drivers license examiners can circumvent our states licensing procedures, said Mr. Jiménez. We will continue to vigorously investigate and prosecute anyone who violates the licensing procedures in this state.

Extractions: In October 1998, Congress passed the Identity Theft and Assumption Deterrence Act of 1998 (Identity Theft Act) to address the problem of identity theft. Specifically, the Act amended 18 U.S.C. § 1028 to make it a federal crime when anyone: knowingly transfers or uses, without lawful authority, a means of identification of another person with the intent to commit, or to aid or abet, any unlawful activity that constitutes a violation of Federal law, or that constitutes a felony under any applicable State or local law. Violations of the Act are investigated by federal investigative agencies such as the U.S. Secret Service, the FBI, and the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and prosecuted by the Department of Justice.
CEELI - Russia - Program Information Success Story Read about CEELI and the New criminal Procedure code in Russia CEELI launched its criminal law Reform Program in Russia in 1995 with http://www.abanet.org/ceeli/countries/russia/program.html
Extractions: Success Story: Read about CEELI and the New Criminal Procedure Code in Russia Background CEELI initiated its program in Russia in 1992 with the placement of its first rule of law liaison in Moscow. CEELI added its Criminal Law Reform Program in 1995. In 1999, CEELI opened an office in Samara, from which it conducts programs throughout the Middle Volga District. CEELI presently has two offices in Russia and is preparing to open a third. The Moscow office provides overall direction and programming; it is staffed by three American attorneys (the country director, a gender issues legal specialist and a criminal law liaison), five Russian lawyers (an advocacy program director, one staff attorney each for the advocacy and gender issues pro-grams and two for criminal law) and local support staff. A field office set up in Samara in 1999 to serve south central Russia is staffed by a rule of law liaison, a Russian staff attorney and a program coordinator. CEELI intends to open an office in Vladivostok in the near future to expand its rule of law efforts to the Russian Far East. Advocacy CEELI pioneered clinical legal education in Russia. The number of law school clinics in the country has grown from one in 1995 to more than 80 today. While these clinics provide assis-tance to indigent Russian citizens, their primary aim is to give Russian law students a ground-ing in practical lawyering skills, as Russian legal education focuses largely on theory. CEELI is working with legal clinics to develop areas of specialization, connecting similarly specialized clinics across the country to build a base of support for various social needs and civic organiza-tion activities.

Extractions: Back to Research Guides page Legal Ethics General Information Codes Ethics Opinions Periodicals ... Reference Sources AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION AND OTHER AMERICAN LEGAL ASSOCIATIONS The Association of Trial Lawyers of America Roscoe Pound American Trial Lawyers Foundation adopted the American Lawyer's Code of Conduct in 1982. This code is more strict than the ABA Codes, particularly on the subjects of confidentiality and initiating sexual relationships after the commencement of the attorney client relationship. The Model Rules of Judicial Conduct were adopted by the A.B.A. Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility in August of 1990. This Code was adopted by the U.S. Judicial Conference at their September 22, 1992 session, and is referred to by them as the Code of Conduct for United States Judges. The Code of Judicial Conduct was adopted in 1972 by the American Bar Association House of Delegates to replace the Canons of Judicial Ethics which had been in force for nearly fifty years. FLORIDA LEGAL ETHICS* The Florida State Bar Association was formed in 1907 and a Code of Ethics was drafted, but not adopted. In 1911, a portion of the reciprocity laws that were in effect under the "Carpet Bag Constitution," were reinstated. In 1928 another board of law examiners was created and practicing law without a license became a penal offense. In 1936, the Florida Supreme Court adopted the American Bar Association Canons of Professional Ethics. In 1949, the Florida Supreme Court ordered an integrated bar. Shortly after that, the Florida Bar began issuing ethics opinions and began sponsoring institutes on ethics, because no law school, at that time, offered courses on legal ethics. In 1954, the University of Florida College of L aw began mandatory training in legal ethics and the University of Florida Law Review devoted an entire issue to the subject of legal ethics.

Extractions: Back to Table of Contents Session 104: Justice and Modernity: The Chinese Judicial System in the Twentieth Century and Beyond Organizer: Xiaoqun Xu , Francis Marion University Chair: Madeleine Zelin , Columbia University Discussant: James V. Feinerman , Georgetown University Xiaoqun Xu deals with the prison reform that started in the final years of Qing and continued in the Republican era, driven by a nationalist goal to end extra-territoriality and nonetheless informed by Western models. Xu focuses on how and to what extent the reform initiatives from the central government impacted the prison system at provincial and county levels. Mary Buck examines the introduction of Western legal distinctions, the criminal/civil distinction in particular, embodied in the continental procedural law adopted by the new, "modern" courts of the early Republican period. Buck asks how they resonated with Chinese concepts of procedural and substantive justice and popular and professional expectations of the function of law in a modern society. In contrast, Harold Tanner questions the form/content dichotomy and the myth of Chinese uniqueness that it supports by looking into the use of the criminal justice system as a means of moral transformation in the PRC, in light of comparable historical cases in the West. Acknowledging the differences between the PRC and the West, Tanner hopes to underline the common features of the historical experiences of both.
