Revisiting Informal Justice: Restorative Justice and Democratic Professionalism
Restorative justice is a form of informal justice growing rapidly among criminal justice practitioners. It decenters the focus of criminal justice from the offender breaking a law of the state to the harm caused the victim and community. Resolution is said to come from offenders taking responsibility and making amends for the harm done and from communities supporting the victim and providing offenders with opportunities and skills to reintegrate …
Competing Narratives in a Judicial Retention Election: Feminism versus Judicial Independence
Feminists' opposition to a state trial judge in a retention election provided an opportunity to explore important issues about legal consciousness and differences between negative and affirmative resistance. Three questions about legal consciousness and resistance are addressed: What effect does an encounter with an allegedly bad judge have on people's legal consciousness? Under what circumstances will people engage in negative or affirmative res…

Thus, patterns of interest-group litigation might parallel patterns of group activity in other arenas. A survey of interest-group litigation in private civil cases in M…
Comparing Justice and Labor Department Lawyers: Ten Years of Occupational Safety and Health Litigation
Federal regulatory programs are strongly influenced by the outcome of litigation seeking to challenge or to enforce those programs. Competition exists between the Department of Justice and numerous federal agencies for control of that litigation. This article proposes several measures for comparing litigation conducted by the Justice Department with that done by the agency whose program is being‐litigated. It then uses case data to compare the Ju…
