When should a judge stop a trial?
No full textThis article is focused on what should happen in a criminal
trial when the trial judge has serious reservations about the strength of the prosecution’s case as the evidence unfolds,or mid-trial the prosecution changes its case against the accused. Two recent cases are used as the vehicle for the analysis. In Wood v R, the New South Wales Court of Criminal Appeal demolished the prosecution case and attacked the Crown prosecutor for failing to put the case fairly to the jury by resorting to fiction, impermissible reasoning and innuendo. In Patel v The Queen, the High Court found that a miscarriage of justice had occurred because on the 43rd day of a 58 day trial, the prosecution had radically changed its case in a way that rendered irrelevant much of the evidence that had been admitted. Such appellate court criticism invites the question: when should a trial judge stop a trial
What Discourages Participation in the Lay Judge System (Saiban’in Seido) of Japan? Interaction between the Secrecy Requirement and Social Networks.
No full textThe lay judge system, a quasi-jury system, was introduced in Japan from May 2009. This paper attempts to analyze Japanese people’s attitude towards this system by examining whether they show a willingness to serve as a lay judge. The major findings from regression analysis are: (1) In general, people with a spouse inclined to adopt a negative attitude about serving as a lay judge. This tendency is, however, not observed in large cities. (2) Long-time residents and homeowners are more likely to have a negative attitude about serving as a lay judge. These results show that a tightly knitted interpersonal social network discourages people from serving as a lay judge. Because of the life time secrecy obligation and the penalty provisions for those who break this obligation, people with closer interpersonal ties are under greater pressure and strains, leading to larger psychological cost. The obligation and its penalty should be eased to improve people’s attitudes about serving as a lay judge.Lay judge system; Social network; Secrecy requirement

Stretched but not snapped: a response to Russell & Serban on Retiring the ‘Westminster Model
No full textThis article engages with Meg Russell and Ruxandra Serban's (2021) argument that the Westminster model is 'a concept stretched beyond repair' that deserves 'to be retired'. We examine the logic, theory and methods that led to such a powerful, potent and provocative argument. We suggest their approach may have inadvertently 'muddied' an already muddled concept. We assess the implications of 'muddying' for their conclusion that the Westminster model is, in essence, a dead concept in need of a decent funeral. We suggest the concept is 'stretched but not snapped' by developing a simple four-perspective broadening of the analytical lens. This approach aids understanding about what the concept covers, how it is operationalized and why it remains useful in comparative research
