Fletcher\u27s Essays on Criminal Law
No full textWhile George Fletcher\u27s book, Rethinking Criminal Law, is justly celebrated as the most widely cited and influential book on criminal law, his articles and essays have been comparatively overlooked. But it is in these essays where Fletcher hones and polishes the themes of Rethinking as well as advances new ground. They are critical in understanding the evolution of his views on criminal law. This volume collects, for the first time, a selection of his most famous previously published shorter works as well as some that are less known but equally important. Each of the twelve essays by Fletcher is paired with one or more new critical commentaries on that essay. These critical commentaries trace the significance of the respective essay in the development of the criminal law and assess its future significance. The commentators include leading criminal law scholars, philosophers, and a judge. Reflecting Fletcher\u27s comparative law focus, the commentators hail from America, England, and Israel. Preceding these paired sets of essays/critical commentaries is an Introduction that broadly assesses Fletcher\u27s body of work and career in criminal scholarship as well as provides an overview of each essay and critical commentary. Concluding the volume is a new, original essay by Fletcher in which he responds to his critics. Fletcher also reflects back on his six-decade spanning career and takes stock. Fletcher\u27s essay concludes with some speculations as to the trend of future developments in the field. In the enterprise of theoretical criminal law, the essays in this book represent the pinnacle of the thinking of one of the fields\u27 most celebrated scholars.https://scholarship.law.columbia.edu/books/1070/thumbnail.jp

Valerie E. Fletcher
No full textVal was born at the old Darwin Hospital in 1923. She is the daughter of Ormond Harold Edward George Snell, who came to Darwin in 1912 to build the Myilly Point house, and Ivy Mary Allen. They were married in England in 1919. At the tender age of 3, in 1927, Valerie was awarded 2nd prize at the fancy dress ball dressed as a "bluebell"; she entered other fancy dress balls in 1931 and 1932 with little success. In 1931 she was awarded a book at the Sunday School prize day.
"After my secondary education I became a student-teacher in Darwin, taking my examinations from the Queensland Education Department, and 'teaching' at both the Public and the Parap schools as well as taking extra instruction at the Convent. That is how it was here nearly seventy years ago. By the time I left school, war had been declared and there were two busy years with plenty of social activity."
As a trained VAD Val was called up one night, to spend the rest of it in a slit trench near Myilly Point. Rumour had it next day that there had been a reconnaissance activity. Then she was doing her examinations under supervision. A warden came in and said she was to be on the jetty at seven o'clock next morning with no more than a 20 inch suitcase of clothes. "We were evacuated on an American cruise ship that had been in Manilla when it was bombed." (U3A talk, November 2009).
While Val's father is a well documented entity in the Northern Territory for his buildings, mining and other ventures, Val has taken this connection to the NT and has written about the history of the North in her book Value Adding to Northern Territory Copper, 1901-1910.
Valerie was awarded a history doctorate from the University of Queensland on ?Nineteenth Century Railways and the Constitutional Conventions'. Her other areas of research are the building of transcontinental/interstate railways in Australia and the history of the Northern Territory, especially the 1895-1910 period and the Commonwealth takeover of the Territory.
At the age of 86, in November 2009, she gave a talk to U3A on 'Between the wars', this talk gives a small insight into Darwin in those years and a little into the life of Valerie Fletcher.WriterHistoria
