Legal Defense of Cyclists' Rights
General
There are two general areas of action: criminal defense, and judicial relief. Cyclists frequently should receive much better defenses than they receive. When I reviewed the only book of nationwide judicial opinions about bicycle law, Paul Hill's Bicycle Law and Practice, I discovered that in almost all of the cases nobody in the courtroom knew what they were considering. Not the judges, nor the attorneys for either side, nor the witnesses when testifying to bicycle matters. Some appeals opinions were contrary to man's law, others were contrary to physical law. Many were incredible. That book (1986) disclosed, to my eyes at least, the shoddy state of the practice of law as it pertains to cyclists. If BTI decides to intervene in any case, that intervention must be performed in the very best manner, lest all the effort go down the drain or, even worse, turn out to our disadvantage.
Criminal Defense
Another situation involves laws that are invalid. For example, California does not allow local authorities to enact traffic laws, except where specifically provided for. Several California cities have enacted local ordinances that prohibit cycling on particular streets, or on the roadways of particular streets. The cyclist who gets prosecuted for using such a street is not violating any law, because those ordinances are invalid. However, the first that the cycling community learns about such laws is when a cyclist is prosecuted. Then, the defense must be that that ordinance is invalidated by state law. Even when learning such, some communities keep such ordinances on the books, probably to frighten children with. Others recognize the law and repeal them.

    The introduction of a single set of evidence laws, applicable across the whole of Australia , would not only avoid confusion but would reduce legal costs for business, the Australian Law Reform Commission said today. The ALRC has released a consultation paper, Review of the Evidence Act 1995, as the start of one of the most significant legal inquiries ever conducted in this country. The review is being conducted by the ALRC in association with the New South Wales Law Reform Commission, the Victorian Law Reform Commission and the Tasmania Law Reform Institute. Assoc Prof McCrimmon, from the University of Sydney , is an expert in the laws of evidence and procedure, trial practice and real property. He is a member of the management committee and faculty of the Australian Advocacy Institute, and has been a member of various NSW Bar Association Committees.

Use of Experts
Cultivating local experts will enable a prosecutor to establish a network of potential expert witnesses who will testify for little or no cost. The prosecutor can then concentrate on strategies for using expert testimony in a domestic violence or stalking trial. Expert Witness Testimony in Prosecutions of Domestic Violence Crimes Introduction Often prosecutors fail to use domestic violence experts because they do not have the available resources to remunerate nationally known experts. However, they overlook local experts such as court and shelter victim advocates or domestic violence detectives. Advocates and detectives with the requisite domestic violence training and years of experience in the field can certainly be qualified as experts and are more financially accessible to the average prosecutor. Domestic Violence Prosecution Many judges and juries believe that prosecutions of minor domestic crimes waste scarce public resources. An expert can demonstrate the importance of prosecuting seemingly insignificant injuries and criminal incidents by showing how violence in domestic violence cases escalates. In addition, since many people still believe that some domestic events should not be made public, the expert can dissolve assumptions that the prosecution should not, as a public policy, be pursued. Beyond a brief description of the facts of the case, the expert needs to be informed about such critical information as:

    Update on the Legislation Project (back to top)
    As reported in the June 2001 issue of JLIB News, good progress had been made with the electronic capture of all Jersey legislation in force. We are now able to report that at the end of July 2001, a copy of the final version of the database containing the legislation was delivered to the Law Draftsman's Office for final checking and acceptance. As soon as this stage of the project has been completed it is hoped to allow public access to the legislation in force through the JLIB website. A complete index of the data, designed in a user-friendly manner, will accompany the database to allow users to find relevant legislation. The index has been structured to enable users to see details of each law and all amending and subordinate legislation under one index entry. Although the data capture project represents a huge step forwards it is, as stated in earlier newsletters, merely the first step in the law revision programme. Discussions are now underway to progress to the next stage, which will be to begin the official revision and consolidation of all Jersey legislation. It is hoped to appoint an expert to undertake that work in the coming months, with a view to completing the ambitious project within 2 to 3 years.

Forensic psychologists write and testify on psychological aspects of the law and legal processes, as well as the legal and courtroom aspects of the field of psychology. The nature and reliability of evidence is also important. Legal topics of interest to clinical psychologists include the detection of dangerousness in mentally ill clients, psychological testing of offenders, involuntary commitment of patients, insanity defense, and the legal privacy of information heard in therapy sessions. The use of psychological techniques in the courtroom receives much media attention. These techniques are used to choose and persuade jurors, to assess credibility of eyewitness testimony, and to detect deception. Search Hints Much of the jury research is done in a college setting with mock jurors. If you want only research that uses real juries, use a NOT operator to exclude the word mock from your search.

    Can Legal Reform Foster Respect For Human Rights In China?
    Remarks to the Congressional-Executive Commission on China
    Jonathan Hecht
    Deputy Director and Senior Research Fellow
    The China Law Center
    Yale Law School
    April 11, 2002
    Thank you Senator Baucus, Congressman Bereuter, and the other members of the Commission for inviting me to speak here today. As Congress recognized in establishing this Commission, it is vitally important that China make progress on human rights. This is important first and foremost for Chinese themselves, who have long lived under political systems that denied them fundamental freedoms and are now navigating a difficult transition toward a market economy and, hopefully, a more open society. But it is also important for the rest of the world. China's emergence as a global power is one of the most important geopolitical events of our lifetimes. It is essential that the China that emerges from this process is one that respects individual liberties and its internationally binding commitments on human rights. Progress on human rights in China is also vital to the United States. Our relationship with China is one of our most important bilateral relationships. It cannot be truly cooperative until the human rights situation in China improves. These new laws contain serious flaws in conception and face many obstacles in implementation. Reformers within China are working to highlight these problems and to press for further change. In the meantime, Chinese themselves are making increasing use their expanded legal system. The number of cases in the Chinese courts, including successful suits against the state, has risen dramatically in the last decade. In addition, new groups have emerged to advocate for improved legal protection of rights, often through legal aid centers for women's rights or administrative litigation or the environment. As this shows, legal reform and other developments in China are creating increased rights consciousness and higher expectations for the legal system. This is a very important trend, for law should not only foster respect for human rights. It should also be a means by which individuals can demand respect for human rights.

We're back up now, for the moment, but the continuing recurrence of these technical problems is going to make it necessary to move Overlawyered to a new hosting service in place of Verio, which has been our host for the past few years. With luck, we can accomplish this rehosting within a few days, and the site will resume its normal operation. Till then, expect a brief hiatus in posting. In the mean time both Ted and I will continue to post at the Manhattan Institute's website PointOfLaw.com .
