Extractions: November 30, 2004 The recent publication of a law in Turkmenistan that decriminalizes the activity of unregistered non-governmental organizations may offer hope for the countrys embattled civil society activists. Even so, those in the nascent NGO sector generally view the new law with skepticism. NGO activists have been among those hardest hit by a government crackdown launched following the failed 2002 assassination attempt against Turkmenistans mercurial leader Saparmurat Niyazov. [For background see the Eurasia Insight archive]. The new legislation, published November 2, is formally called the "Law of Turkmenistan on Introducing Amendments to the Criminal Code of Turkmenistan." Specifically, it removes Article 223/1 from the Criminal Code. The original article mandated fines, "corrective labor" and imprisonment with confiscation of "illegally obtained resources (sredstva)" for those found guilty of engaging in public activities without explicit state approval. If implemented, the new law could potentially reverse, or at least slow the steady erosion of space in which civil society activists can operate in Turkmenistan. The new legislation is an apparent attempt to override a draconian law adopted in October 2003 that criminalized all un-registered activities. Since most NGOs lacked official registration, the actions of a large number of civil society activists could be defined as crimes under the 2003 Turkmen law "On Public Associations," along with related amendments to the countrys Criminal Code. One NGO activist inside Turkmenistan sardonically dubbed the legislation "the law on the death penalty for NGOs."
Daniel Rubini Ask The White House The Spanish civil code is a good example of what criminal and civil law would look like here. Even other Islamic states will debate for years to come what http://www.whitehouse.gov/ask/20031113.html
Extractions: As a result of toppling Saddam's government, is the US necessarily entitled to infringe its values and beliefs upon the people of Iraq by directly influencing and redesigning their judicial system? Aren't the citizens of Iraq capable, if not inherently obligated to establish their own judicial system (with or without the blessing of the US)? Daniel Rubini Thanks for the question, Howard. We never redesigned their legal system. We rolled back 35 years of thuggery and helped reestablish their own system. There is no redesign as the court system works well with honest judges and adequate support. Corruption was a serious problem. Iraqi judges are fully participating in modernizing court administration, presiding over trials of felons, and removing corrupt judges.

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

Soulforce - Sodomy Laws Only two cases, in Minnesota and now Texas, stem from criminal charges. laws still have sodomy statutes Minnesota, massachusetts and Rhode Island. http://www.soulforce.org/main/sodomy.shtml
Extractions: By Paul Duggan, Washington Post Staff Writer HOUSTON - Rarely does a police officer witness violations of Section 21.06 of the Texas criminal code, the section entitled "Homosexual conduct." And almost never is an arrest made under the 119-year-old statute. So what happened recently to John Lawrence and Tyrone Garner, in the supposed privacy of Lawrence's bedroom, was highly unusual. The two men were having sex when a Harris County sheriff's deputy walked into the apartment on another matter, saw what they were doing and hauled them off to jail.

Extractions: Archives Hurricane Katrina Archives On Saturday, C-SPAN will rebroadcast a 1994 Booknotes interview of Milton Friedman about F. A. Hayek 's The Road to Serfdom at 7:00 p.m. ET August 15, 1998 A country's economic development and utilization of its resources depend foremost on the country's economic, legal and political regimes. The fall of communism and state-directed systems in poorer countries heralds the victory of the free market. That regime gives maximum incentives for individuals to utilize the ultimate source of values, the human mind, to create wealth. But misunderstands about markets have led to rough transitions. To utilize fully the resources of the Mars, humans will need to bring to that planet more than machines, tools and scientific instruments. They will need to bring law. Not too much law. Most of the economic, political and social problems on earth result from an overabundance of rules, regulations and restrictions on individual liberty. What will be important is that humans bring the right law. Thus to fully exploit Mars' potential and to make it another home for the human race, an economic-political system will have to emerge that allows individuals or voluntary associations of individuals to secure exclusive rights to use resources and to exchanges freely with others, and that protects property, and enforces contracts.

Egypt: Law And The Legal System In Ancient Egypt But nothing remains of these documents, or for that matter, legal codes from other criminal law. An example of such documentation is the record of the http://www.touregypt.net/featurestories/law.htm
Extractions: By Mark Andrews It is thought that the laws of ancient Egypt were at least partially codified. In fact, we learn from one Greek writer that in the Late Period there were probably eight books that set out the legal code. But nothing remains of these documents, or for that matter, legal codes from other periods. However, we can derive some of the laws of ancient Egypt from funerary texts, as well as court and other documents. Essentially, we believe that Egyptian law was based on a common sense view of right and wrong, following the codes based on the concept of Ma'at . Ma'at represented truth, order, balance and justice in the universe. This concept allowed that everyone, with the exception of slaves, should be viewed as equals under the law, regardless of wealth or social position. However, when punishment was carried out, often the entire family of the guilty suffered as well. For example, when individuals were sentenced to exile, their children were automatically outlawed along with them. If a relative deserted from military service, or defaulted on the labor demands of the state, the entire family might be imprisoned. A gold Ma'at pendant which is currently in the British Museum was probably more or less an official badge of legal officials. Some statues of high officials from the Late Period are shown wearing such a pendant. During the Greek period, Greek law existed alongside that of the Egyptian law, but usually these laws favored the Greeks. When the Romans took control of Egypt, the Roman legal system which existed throughout the Roman empire was imposed in Egypt.
FBI - Crime In The US, 2002 - Summary Of UCR Data During 2002, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented 93.4 After studying state criminal codes and making an evaluation of the http://www.fbi.gov/ucr/cius_02/html/web/summary/summary.html
Extractions: The Uniform Crime Reporting Program is a nationwide, cooperative statistical effort of more than 17,000 city, county, and state law enforcement agencies voluntarily reporting data on crimes brought to their attention. During 2002, law enforcement agencies active in the UCR Program represented 93.4 percent of the total population as established by the Bureau of Census. The coverage amounted to 94.3 percent of the United States population in Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs), 89.9 percent of the population in cities outside metropolitan areas, and 89.5 percent in rural counties. Historical Background Recognizing a need for national crime statistics, the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) formed the Committee on Uniform Crime Records in the 1920s to develop a system of uniform police statistics. Establishing offenses known to law enforcement as the appropriate measure, the Committee evaluated various crimes on the basis of their seriousness, frequency of occurrence, pervasiveness in all geographic areas of the country, and likelihood of being reported to law enforcement. After studying state criminal codes and making an evaluation of the recordkeeping practices in use, the Committee completed a plan for crime reporting that became the foundation of the UCR Program in 1929. Seven main classifications of crime were chosen to gauge fluctuations in the overall volume and rate of crime. These seven classifications that eventually became known as the Crime Index included the violent crimes of murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assault and the property crimes of burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft. By congressional mandate, arson was added as the eighth Index offense in 1979.
