This book was released on 2009-10-06 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attorney General, Republic of Cyprus It is with great pleasure that I foreword the book of Dr Despina Kyprianou’s for many reasons: The ?rst one is that books on any area of Cyprus Law is particularly welcomed as there are limited studies which focus on this ?eld and reveal the singularities and special features of Cyprus Law. The second one is that this book is about the Attorney General’s Of?ce, an of?ce that I have served for almost thir- ?ve years and have personal knowledge of its crucial role not only regarding prosecutions but also regarding a wide variety of other legal issues. The third and most important reason is that this is an excellent work and a thought-provoking contribution to our understanding of the Role of the Cyprus Attorney General’s Of?ce in Prosecutions. The last reason that I am very happy to commend this study is the fact that, a few years ago, I was the one that granted access to the Law Of?ce for Dr Kyprianou’s research. The publication of this highly informative book is the best con?rmation that I was right in doing so. The Republic of Cyprus was established as an independent sovereign republic with a presidential regime on 16 August 1960, when its Constitution came into force and British sovereignty over Cyprus as a Crown Colony ceased.

Book excerpt: [Description from: https://novascotia.ca/archives/marshall/ October 2019. Click the Listing Source icon under "Other ways to get this book" to locate the complete report.]Donald Marshall Jr., a Mi'kmaq from Membertou, Nova Scotia, was wrongfully convicted of murdering Sandy Seale in Sydney's Wentworth Park in May 1971. Marshall was only 17 years old when he received a life sentence.After 11 years and one month in custody, Donald Marshall Jr. was released on July 28, 1982. On considering evidence not heard in the 1971 trial, the Appeals Division of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court found that "no reasonable jury could, on that evidence, find Donald Marshall, Jr. guilty of the murder." While the Appeal Court acquitted Marshall it maintained that "any miscarriage of justice is, however, more apparent than real."A Royal Commission was appointed on 28 October, 1986 to examine this case from initial investigation through to trial, reinvestigation and appeal. The Commission determined that, in order to prevent future wrongful convictions, it would be necessary to examine the state of the administration of justice in Nova Scotia, including "the role of the Attorney General as a member of Cabinet, and the relationship of crown prosecutors with defense counsel and with the police." In addition, the Commission set out to examine "the allegations that minorities of this province are not treated equitably by the justice system."The records of the Commission are extensive and the Nova Scotia Archives has digitized all of them. On this website are the seven-volume report of findings and recommendations of the commission, as well as hearing transcripts of all proceedings and interviews, all exhibits, documents from the original trials and appeals of Donald Marshall Jr., counsel notebooks, and correspondence. We have also included the audio recordings of Marshall Jr., testimony - given in Mi'kmaq - to the commission. The remainder of the testimony will also soon be available in video as well.The amount of material is staggering, both in volume and content. 16,390 pages of transcribed testimony record the 89 days of hearings, the words of the 114 witnesses and the context of the 176 exhibits. In addition to its report the Commission published studies on public policing in Nova Scotia, the Mi'kmaq and criminal justice, discrimination against Blacks, an examination of the Office of the Attorney General, prosecuting officers and the administration of criminal justice. Exhibits, witness testimony, and other records offer a window into a justice system unprepared and unwilling to accommodate the legal needs of First Nations and other cultural groups. This collection is vitally important, both for its vindication of wrongfully-convicted Marshall Jr., and for its role in shaping the Canadian and Nova Scotian justice systems we know today.

Download or read book In Search of the Ethical Lawyer written by Adam Dodek and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2016-01-01 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What options did Paul Bernardo’s lawyer have when his client directed him to retrieve hidden evidence? Where would David Milgaard be today if a lawyer hadn’t doggedly challenged his murder conviction? And what should a defence lawyer do when told her client is a danger to the public? In this equally inspiring and troubling book, leading Canadian legal academics and practising lawyers draw on real-life stories – case studies, biography, and memoir – to examine the tension between ethics and the law. Whether re-examining high-profile cases, celebrating barristers who tore down barriers, or pointing out current injustices within the justice system, their stories are compelling and raise important questions about what it means to be a “good” lawyer.
