FBI History Famous Cases The Atom Spy Case Background of Principal Subjects Authorities File Charges Gold Testifies Elitcher Testifies ... Court Action Following Convictions The Government of the Soviet Union, as it was then known, publicly announced the detonation of an atomic bomb. Past experience taught Americans to treat Moscow pronouncements lightly. However, the White House, in a solemn statement in September, 1949, related the disheartening news which startled and shocked the nation. The Kremlin had finally come to understand the secrets of the atom. Russian ingenuity in the scientific field probably contributed considerably to this discovery. But what of the part played by American traitors Julius and Ethel Rosenberg? This is their story. In the summer of 1949, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) learned that the secret of the construction of the atom bomb had been stolen and turned over to a foreign power. An immediate investigation was undertaken which resulted in the identification of Emil Julius Klaus Fuchs, a German-born British atomic scientist. British intelligence authorities were advised, and Fuchs was arrested by British authorities on February 2, 1950. He admitted his involvement in Soviet atomic espionage, but he did not know the identity of his American contact.

Compiled by J. Paul Lomio This is a bibliography of books and articles dealing with women's legal history. Several of the books contain chapters on women who are also the focus of original biographies contained within this Website; in these instances there are links to our content. I. Books Abramson, Jill and Barbara Franklin Where they are now: the story of the women of Harvard Law 1974 Garden City, N.Y.: Doubleday, 1986, 323 p. This is a study of the 71 women in the Harvard Law School class of 1974 by two staff reporters for The American Lawyer. The book includes a statistical profile for each woman in this class and offers a snapshot of their lives a decade after law school. These women are not considered pioneers but they are seen, by the authors, as being "in the vanguard of" a revolution, a revolution spurred on by the burgeoning women's movement as these women, just 12% of the first year class, sought to enter a challenging profession at a "most challenging proving ground." Atwood, Barbara Ann

104. St. Louis Circuit Court Historical Records Project The November 8, 1836 trial involving the Scypion descendants took place in Jefferson The complete case files for all of the proceedings, including the http://stlcourtrecords.wustl.edu/about-freedom-suits-series.php

login Freedom Suits Case Files, 1814-1860 Abstract These case files consist of 292 legal petitions for freedom by people of color originally filed in St. Louis courts between 1814 and 1860. They make up the largest corpus of freedom suits currently available to researchers in the United States. Volume 3 cubic feet Provenance St. Louis Circuit Court, Office of the Circuit Clerk The suits described in this finding aid were brought by or on behalf of persons of color held in slavery within the St. Louis area from 1814 to 1860. These case files remain part of the larger St. Louis Circuit Court Case File Records Series and are presented here as an artificial, subject-oriented records series to facilitate research in a distinctive area of national, regional, and local history. All records were created in the course of business by the Circuit Court, its inferior courts, and predecessors as provided for by federal and state law. Upon the separation of St. Louis City and St. Louis County as provided for in the 1875 constitution, the city retained custody of all court records previously produced. These records have remained in the custody of the St. Louis Circuit Court since that time, both in the historic Old Courthouse (constructed 1839-1852) and the Civil Courts Building (constructed in 1930). The records are now housed in the Circuit Court's Record Center. Historical/Biographical Note The St. Louis freedom suits, and other records like them, are a resource that will shed new light on the complex institution of slavery. Included in many of the cases are depositions, rare "oral histories," which document family, travel, work, and interaction with both masters and advocates of their freedom. Of particular note, is the role of women in these suits, as the examples below will attest. Individually, and as a whole, these cases demonstrate the determination of the enslaved to free themselves.

Recent Death Sentences Your location: Jury Center Juries In-depth Right to Jury Trial Federal civil case rules Here is an excerpt from a law journal article explaining the rules for determining whether there is a right to a jury trial in a federal civil case. James L. “Larry” Wright & M. Matthew Williams, "Remember the Alamo: The Seventh Amendment of the United States Constitution, the Doctrine of Incorporation, and State Caps on Jury Awards," 45 S. Tex. L. Rev. 2004)(footnotes omitted): The guarantees of the Seventh Amendment are facially simple; however, a significant body of federal case law has developed explaining and defining the right. At common law, the type of damages that the plaintiff sought, as well as the subject matter of the cause of action, determined which court would hear a litigant's case. Equity and admiralty courts did not have juries, while courts of law did. After the courts of law and equity were merged in 1938, the Supreme Court developed a "historical test" to reconcile which types of claims received Seventh Amendment protection. The historical test makes two inquiries: (1) whether the cause of action was tried at law at the time of the founding, or is at least analogous to one that was, and (2) if the action in question belongs in the law category, whether the particular trial decision must fall to the jury in order to preserve the substance of the common law right as it existed in 1791.
