Download or read book The Slow Violence of Immigration Court written by Maya Pagni Barak and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The arduous, confusing and fraught journey that immigrants take through immigration court Each year, hundreds of thousands of migrants are moved through immigration court. With a national backlog surpassing one million cases, court hearings take years and most migrants will eventually be ordered deported. The Slow Violence of Immigration Court sheds light on the experiences of migrants from the “Northern Triangle” (Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador) as they navigate legal processes, deportation proceedings, immigration court, and the immigration system writ large. Grounded in the illuminating stories of people facing deportation, the family members who support them, and the attorneys who defend them, The Slow Violence of Immigration Court invites readers to question matters of fairness and justice and the fear of living with the threat of deportation. Although the spectacle of violence created by family separation and deportation is perceived as extreme and unprecedented, these long legal proceedings are masked in the mundane and are often overlooked, ignored, and excused. In an urgent call to action, Maya Pagni Barak deftly demonstrates that deportation and family separation are not abhorrent anomalies, but are a routine, slow form of violence at the heart of the U.S. immigration system.
Download or read book Videoconferencing in the Courts written by Eric T. Bellone and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In response to increasingly crowded dockets, courts are experimenting with new technologies. Specifically, the use of videoconferencing is spreading through the federal and state court systems to streamline legal proceedings and provide the accused greater access to justice. Videoconferencing has been used in arraignments, bail, sentencing, and post-conviction hearings, but no criminal trial has yet been conducted in this medium. The impact of videoconferencing technology on the legal process has not been measured in any systematic way. Of prime concern is the impact of this technology on the attorney-client relationship and their private communications in criminal representations. Critics argue that the use of videoconferencing calls into question the ability of attorneys and clients to communicate, undermining effective representation by counsel. This first-of-its-kind study will empirically analyze data from the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) with special emphasis placed on the privacy of communications between an attorney and a client. This dissertation further provides an assessment of the use of videoconferencing by interviewing defense attorneys about its use. These interviews are designed to provide (1) context to the NCSC data analysis and (2) check the accuracy of the data's conclusions concerning the areas analyzed. It concludes with an examination of the impact of videoconferencing on private communications in criminal proceedings and the wider implications of the impact of technology on civil liberties so that negative aspects of videoconferencing can be lessened, avoided, and/or remedied.

The 2020 Case and Statutory Supplement features: Supreme Court cases: Trump v. Hawaii (2018)—The third iteration of the President’s travel ban was deemed constitutional in that it included more than just Muslim-majority countries and there was consultation throughout the relevant administrative agencies. Sessions v. Dimaya (2018)—The term “crime of violence” is impermissibly vague with relation to the aggravated felony ground of deportability. Pereira v. Sessions (2018)—A defective Notice to Appear does not stop the clock in accumulating physical presence for purpose of cancellation of removal as a non-lawful permanent resident. Federal court decisions: Barbosa v. Barr (2019)—A conviction of robbery in the third degree under a particular Oregon statute is not categorically a crime involving moral turpitude. Ms. L, et al., v. ICE (2018)—The separation of migrant children from their parents at the border violates due process and is not in the public interest. County of Santa Clara v. Trump (2017)—The President’s executive order to withhold certain federal funds for so-called “sanctuary jurisdictions” violates the Tenth and Fifth Amendment rights of the cities and counties involved. Additional Updates regarding administrative decisions and actions made between 2017 and 2019.

Download or read book Digital Technology and Justice written by Tania Sourdin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-24 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Justice apps – mobile and web-based programmes that can assist individuals with legal tasks – are being produced, improved, and accessed at an unprecedented rate. These technologies have the potential to reshape the justice system, improve access to justice, and demystify legal institutions. Using artificial intelligence techniques, apps can even facilitate the resolution of common legal disputes. However, these opportunities must be assessed in light of the many challenges associated with app use in the justice sector. These include the digital divide and other accessibility issues; the ethical challenges raised by the dehumanisation of legal processes; and various privacy, security, and confidentiality risks. Surveying the landscape of this emergent industry, this book explores the objectives, opportunities, and challenges presented by apps across all areas of the justice sector. Detailed consideration is also given to the use of justice apps in specific legal contexts, including the family law and criminal law sectors. The first book to engage with justice apps, this book will appeal to a wide range of legal scholars, students, practitioners, and policy-makers.
