Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of Section on Reform of Civil and Criminal Procedure The defendant may demur to the complaint when it appears upon the face thereof, either: 1. That the court has no jurisdiction of the person of the defendant, or the subject of the action; 2. That the plaintiff has not legal capacity to sue; 3. That there is another action pending between the same parties for the same cause; 4. That there is a defect or misjoinder of parties plaintiff or defendant; 5. That several causes of action have been improperly united, or not separately stated; C. That the complaint does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action. The changes consist, in (a)-Adding the words "and may demur and answer at the same time", which arc taken from the present section 431. (b)-Adding the words "If the defendant demurs without answering he shall be deemed to have waived the right to answer." The purpose of this amendment is to make it incumbent upon the defendant, if he desires both to demur and answer, to do so at the same time. Under the present provisions of the Code the defendant may demur and answer at the same time (section 431). The amendment changes the rule so that if there be a demurrer and an answer they must be filed together. Of course the defendant may answer without demurring and may demur without answering, but in the latter case he stands or falls upon his demurrer. If the demurrer be sustained and the complaint be amended the defendant, can then proceed de novo to demur and answer together or answer without demurring, etc., as to an original complaint. The proposed amendment of section 437 infra, permitting answers by general denial to all complaints will so simplify the answer that it will be as easy to answer as to demur, and we think the demurrer will then be restricted to its real purpose of pointing out. defects in the complaint that are material. Under the present practice the defendant may set up inconsistent defenses in his answer and he does no more than this when he demurs and answers at the same time. Many of the states provide that the defendant may demur and answer at the same time and the practice contemplated by the proposed amendment now prevails in Arizona (Rev. Statutes, 1901.

Download or read book Reforms in Criminal Procedure Classic Reprint written by William L. Burdick and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reforms in Criminal Procedure Many Technicalities Survive from Obsolete Eng lish Rules. In fact, the mass of technicalities of criminal procedure, coupled with the rule of strict construction of penal statutes, is a monument to the sense of justice of the early English common law judges, who were wont to rule in merciful considera tion of the life of the accused - when barbarous law, as Professor Maitland, of England, says, was tempered by luck This justification, however, for many of the old, complicated rules of procedure has passed away, and, today, their continued application has, through vastly changed conditions, become an instrument of injustice to society rather than of par donable mercy to the accused. Today, the criminal is, by these rules, often unduly protected, while the sense of justice of the people is offended. The excuse for the old rules having passed away, the old rules them selves should vanish with it. It is due to our inertia and too great conservatism in meeting new conditions that they have not been changed in many states of this country. They were changed years ago in Eng land and hardly a vestige of them now remains in that country. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Challenge of Crime in a Free Society written by United States. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice and published by . This book was released on 1967 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report of the President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice -- established by President Lyndon Johnson on July 23, 1965 -- addresses the causes of crime and delinquency and recommends how to prevent crime and delinquency and improve law enforcement and the administration of criminal justice. In developing its findings and recommendations, the Commission held three national conferences, conducted five national surveys, held hundreds of meetings, and interviewed tens of thousands of individuals. Separate chapters of this report discuss crime in America, juvenile delinquency, the police, the courts, corrections, organized crime, narcotics and drug abuse, drunkenness offenses, gun control, science and technology, and research as an instrument for reform. Significant data were generated by the Commission's National Survey of Criminal Victims, the first of its kind conducted on such a scope. The survey found that not only do Americans experience far more crime than they report to the police, but they talk about crime and the reports of crime engender such fear among citizens that the basic quality of life of many Americans has eroded. The core conclusion of the Commission, however, is that a significant reduction in crime can be achieved if the Commission's recommendations (some 200) are implemented. The recommendations call for a cooperative attack on crime by the Federal Government, the States, the counties, the cities, civic organizations, religious institutions, business groups, and individual citizens. They propose basic changes in the operations of police, schools, prosecutors, employment agencies, defenders, social workers, prisons, housing authorities, and probation and parole officers.

Download or read book Cases and Materials on Criminal Law written by Joshua Dressler and published by West Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 1142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Premised on the belief that criminal law is an exciting subject to learn and teach, this popular casebook provides a balanced and creative overview of classic and modern criminal law cases and issues while covering both common law foundations and modern statutory reform, including the Model Penal Code. The casebook invites classroom consideration of many controversies in the field (e.g., rape law, race-based jury nullification, Internet crime, and anti-stalking legislation) and defenses (e.g., battered women?s self-defense). Using imaginative examples from literature and music to illustrate criminal law issues (e.g., examining insanity with Edgar Allen Poe?s The Tell-Tale Heart and homicide with Willa Cather?s O Pioneers!), the casebook allows law students to confront some of the Big Questions with which philosophers, theologians, scientists, poets, and lawyers have grappled for centuries.
