The O.J. Inquisition: A United States Encounter With Continental Criminal Justice
No full textOctober 3, 1995 marked the end of the O.J. Simpson double murder trial, which lasted 474 days and was billed the trial of the century. After less than four hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Mr. Simpson of all charges. The following article is a dramatization of how a case similar to the Simpson trial might be handled by a civil-law European criminal justice system.
Utilizing an unusual format, Professor Myron Moskovitz examines and illustrates the differences between the United States and civil-law European criminal justice systems. The author uses a play script inspired by the events in the trial of O.J. Simpson, set before a European Court. The script consists of fictitious conversations among a fictitious prosecutor, defense attorney, officers of a mock European Court, and two professors. The dialogue illustrates the differences between the two legal systems and the historical and sociological premises that inform them

Moskovitz on appeal.
No full textMost lawyers see the appellate court as foreign territory, an arena for quiet, scholarly debate far different from the rough-and-tumble, think-on-your-feet type of practice common in the trial courts. Because of this perception (largely correct), lawyers are often uncomfortable writing briefs and arguing before appellate courts, and frequently their primary concern is simply to get through the ordeal without looking foolish. They look at other briefs or court rules to see that their briefs are in the "proper form," and then just do their best to present a respectable argument. This book is intended for the lawyer who wants to get beyond looking OK. It's meant for the lawyer who wants victory for the client. This book is not about the form of an appeal; it is about the substance of an appeal. This book is about how to win. The key is to examine the thinking process of appellate justices. That's where the action is. Figure out how The Deciders decide cases. Try to select appeals in cases that the Deciders might like. Then structure your presentation to fit how the Deciders decide
The Implied Warranty of Habitability: A New Doctrine Raising New Issues
No full textProfessor Moskovitz has prepared a timely article on the implications of the recent California Supreme Court case, Green v. Superior Court, and its innovative doctrine, the use of an implied warranty of habitability as a defense to eviction for nonpayment of rent. The article explores the entire field-from what constitutes a breach to how protective orders are to be applied, even suggesting a creative solution to the difficult problem of measuring damages. Professor Moskovitz brings to this task long experience in both the study and the practice of landlord-tenant law; indeed, he co-argued the Green case. Drawing on his knowledge of litigation he has included throughout the article practical advice for the attorney immersed in landlord tenant matters. This advice is contained in textual footnotes; for ready identification each is set off by extra space and captioned practice note
