Download or read book Federal Habeas Corpus written by Charles Doyle and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 2007 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Federal habeas corpus is a procedure under which a federal court may review the legality of an individual's incarceration. It is most often the stage of the criminal appellate process that follows direct appeal and any available state collateral review. The law in the area is an intricate weave of statute and case law. Current federal law operates under the premise that with rare exceptions prisoners challenging the legality of the procedures by which they were tried or sentenced get "one bite of the apple." Relief for state prisoners is only available if the state courts have ignored or rejected their valid claims, and there are strict time limits within which they may petition the federal courts for relief. Moreover, a prisoner relying upon a novel interpretation of law must succeed on direct appeal; federal habeas review may not be used to establish or claim the benefits of a "new rule." Expedited federal habeas procedures are available in the case of state death row inmates if the state has provided an approved level of appointed counsel. The Supreme Court has held that Congress enjoys considerable authority to limit, but not to extinguish, access to the writ. This report is available in an abridged version as CRS Report RS22432, "Federal Habeas Corpus: An Abridged Sketch," by Charles Doyle.

Download or read book Wading Through the Morass of Modern Federal Habeas Review of State Capital Prisoners Claims written by Casey Cole Kannenberg and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July of 2007, Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales called for comments on his proposed rulemaking on the Certification Process of State Capital Counsel Systems. The response was an overwhelming condemnation not only of the Attorney General's proposed rules, but also of the current state of modern federal habeas corpus review of state capital prisoners' claims. Notwithstanding this criticism, the Attorney General largely ignored the feedback and, in December of 2008, issued final regulations that are virtually identical to the proposed regulations. Why did the Attorney General ignore this incredible opportunity to create a sense of clarity and progress in the system of federal habeas review of state prisoners' claims? More importantly, what must be done to halt the downward spiral of this system? This Article addresses these questions by examining the Antiterrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act's ldquo;opt-inrdquo; provision, which Congress enacted in 1996 to effectuate the twin aims of achieving fairness and efficiency in federal habeas review of capital state prisoners' claims. The heart and soul of the opt-in provision is a quid pro quo arrangement whereby the states receive the benefit of expedited review of federal habeas claims in exchange for states providing competent, compensated counsel in state capital post-conviction proceedings. In 2005, after only one state qualified for opt-in status, it became clear that the opt-in ldquo;experimentrdquo; was not working. Accordingly, Congress transferred certification authority from the federal courts to the Attorney General. The past three years have shown, however, that the Attorney General is not the answer Congress was looking for. This Article argues that, in order to meaningfully reform the system of federal habeas review of state prisoners' claims, either the Attorney General must implement much of the substantive feedback in response to the proposed regulations or Congress must return certification to the appropriate neutral body: the federal courts.

Download or read book Habeas Corpus in America written by Justin J. Wert and published by University Press of Kansas. This book was released on 2023-09-15 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For most Americans, habeas corpus is the cornerstone of our legal system: the principal constitutional check on arbitrary government power, allowing an arrested person to challenge the legality of his detention. In a study that could not be more timely, Justin Wert reexamines this essential individual right and shows that habeas corpus is not necessarily the check that we've assumed. Habeas corpus, it emerges, is as much a tool of politics as it is of law. In this first study of habeas corpus in an American political context, Wert shifts our collective emphasis from the judicial to the political-toward the changes in the writ influenced by Congress, the president, political parties, state governments, legal academics, and even interest groups. By doing so, he reveals how political regimes have used habeas corpus both to undo the legacies of their predecessors and to establish and enforce their own vision of constitutional governance. Tracing the history of the writ from the Founding to Hamdi v. Rumsfeld and Boumediene v. Bush, Wert illuminates crucial developmental moments in its evolution. He demonstrates that during the antebellum period, Reconstruction, Gilded Age, Great Society, and the ongoing war on terrorism, habeas corpus has waxed and waned in harmony with the interests of majoritarian politics. Along the way, Wert identifies and explains the political context of fine points of law that many political scientists and historians may not be aware of—such as the exhaustion rule requiring that a federal habeas participant must first exhaust all possible claims for relief in state court, a maneuver by which the post-Reconstruction Court abandoned supervision of race relations in the South. Especially in light of the new scrutiny of habeas corpus prompted by the Guantánamo detainees, Wert's book is essential for broadening our understanding of how law and politics continue to intersect after 9/11. Brimming with fresh insights into constitutional development and regime theory, it shows that the Great Writ of Liberty may not be so great as we have supposed-because while it has the potential to enforce conceptions of rights that are consistent with the best ideals of American politics, it also has the potential to enforce its worst aspects as well.
