Download or read book Law Clerk Handbook written by Federal Judicial Center and published by . This book was released on 2019-12-06 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an updated edition of the Law Clerk Handbook, first published by the Federal Judicial Center in 1977. Section 2.2 of this edition was revised in December 2017 in response to recent developments. The handbook provides an overview of chambers operations and the work of the federal courts; it does not provide detailed procedures on every aspect of a law clerk's daily tasks, nor does it review the procedures of each individual court (largely because law clerks' duties vary from judge to judge). Law clerks should familiarize themselves with local court procedures and inquire about a local chambers manual. The Guide to Judiciary Policy, published by the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, provides more detailed information on administrative, financial, and personnel matters and is available on the website maintained by the Administrative Office on the judiciary's intranet, called the J-Net.

Download or read book Law Clerks and the Judicial Process written by John B. Oakley and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-07-26 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first in-depth empirical and historical study of the use of law clerks by American judges. Although possessing a hundred-year heritage, the institution has been ignored as an important component of the process of judicial decision-making. Law clerks are, in the authors' words, "subordinate, anonymous, but often quite powerful lawyers who function as the non-commissioned officers in the army of the judiciary." American courts are currently altering the traditional use of law clerks through the introduction of important innovations that enhance the ability of judges to dispose of cases rapidly but detract from personal judicial control over individual decisions. The authors investigate the clash of tradition and innovation through interviews with sixty-three judges of federal courts and appellate courts in California. They find distinctly different models of law clerk usage in the state and federal systems, which they analyze on the basis of the judges' own perceptions of the qualitative and quantitive impact on their decision of variations in the character, tenure, and duties of staff assistants. They offer suggestions on how modern courts can cope with the "crisis of volume" without unduly sacrificing traditional standards of judicial autonomy. Because of the confidential nature of judicial deliberations, judges are rarely willing to discuss publicly their use of law clerks. This study employs unconventional techniques for penetrating the secrecy of judicial chambers while respecting the confidentiality and the individuality of its sources. It presents important new information on the internal operating procedures of the courts studies, collating interview data with facts abstracted from pre-existing but often obscure sources, and providing a particularly close look at the inner workings of the Supreme Court of California and the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Revealing the significance of public funding of judicial staff in determining patterns of law clerk usage, it should promote further investigation and debate regarding the proper structure and role of staff assistance in the judicial process. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1980.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Landlord’s Guide to Minnesota Law addresses every landlord-tenant legal issue that is likely to arise over the course of a lease. From how to find a tenant to what to do once they leave, it is a practical and thorough legal analysis of what Minnesota landlords need to know about complying with the relevant federal, state and local laws. At the end of each chapter you’ll find “Tips from a Tenant Attorney.” These tips offer more creative advice on how landlords can solve difficult legal situations or prevent them from ever occurring. Also included is our exclusive line-by-line analysis of the Minnesota State Bar Association’s Model Residential Lease. Instead of guessing what your lease terms mean, this guide tells you why each term exists and how it applies to your situation. This book was written by practicing attorneys in Minnesota who work exclusively in landlord-tenant law. There are dozens of legal guides available online for landlords, but none of them focus on Minnesota statutes and regulations, and when it comes to landlord-tenant legal issues, state law is key. Both authors are currently practicing attorneys with over 25 years of experience in tenant landlord law, advising over 39,000 renters on HOME Line’s tenant hotline. They also train a wide variety of audiences in tenant landlord law, including over 100 trainings to landlord groups throughout Minnesota.

Download or read book Maintaining the Public Trust written by Federal Judicial Center and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New law clerks: welcome to the federal court system. Career clerks: thank you for your continued service. During your clerkship, you will provide valuable assistance as your judge resolves disputes that are of great importance to the parties, and often to the public. The parties and the public accept judges' rulings because they trust the system to be fair and impartial. Maintaining this trust is crucial to the continued success of our courts. That's why, although you have many responsibilities that demand your attention, you must never lose sight of your ethical obligations. You need to become familiar with the Code of Conduct for Judicial Employees, which has five canons. In brief, the canons provide that you should * uphold the independence and integrity of the judiciary and of your office; * avoid impropriety and the appearance of impropriety in all activities; * adhere to appropriate standards in performing your duties; * avoid conflict with official duties and the appearance of impropriety in all outside activities; and * refrain from inappropriate political activities. Scrupulously follow these canons and the other rules that govern your conduct. Do not assume that good intentions are enough. It is not enough to simply learn and follow the Code of Conduct and other related ethics rules, however. You also need to familiarize yourself with and follow your judge's ethical guidelines. These guidelines may differ from chambers to chambers. Your judge may impose restrictions that go beyond the Code. Although many of your obligations are the same as those of other federal judicial employees, certain restrictions are more stringent because of your special position in relation to the judge. Some obligations continue after your service to the court concludes. Sometimes new law clerks are surprised by some of the canons, although after they analyze those canons, the rationale becomes clear. The canons emphasize avoiding activity that raises the appearance of impropriety, as well as actual impropriety itself. Many outside activities cannot be neatly separated from your official duties. You will need to maintain a heightened awareness of how others may perceive your actions-in and out of the court. To help you get started, the federal judiciary's ethics committee, known as the Judicial Conference Committee on Codes of Conduct (the Committee), prepared this pamphlet in cooperation with the Federal Judicial Center. This pamphlet provides an overview of your ethical obligations as well as resources you can consult for further information. These obligations apply to all law clerks, including career clerks, clerks who serve for a defined period of time, and clerks who work full-time or part-time, for pay or as a volunteer. The next section discusses how to approach an ethics question. The following sections present the "5 Cs" as an easy way to remember the main categories of your ethical obligations. They are * confidentiality; * conflicts of interest; * caution (political activities, online activities, and gifts); * community and other outside professional and social activities; and * career. Each "C" section includes examples that illustrate challenges you may face, as well as sources of guidance.
