Beyond Exonerating the Innocent: Author on WAMU Radio
Convicted Yet Innocent: The Legal Times Review
Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2008
DNA testing and advances in forensic science have shaken the foundations of the U.S. criminal justice system. One of the most visible results is the exoneration of inmates who were wrongly convicted and incarcerated, many of them sentenced to death for crimes they did not commit. This has caused a quandary for many states: how can claims of innocence be properly investigated and how can innocent inmates be reliably distinguished from the guilty? In answer, some states have created "innocence commissions" to establish policies and provide legal assistance to the improperly imprisoned.
The Innocence Commission describes the creation and first years of the Innocence Commission for Virginia (ICVA), the second innocence commission in the nation and the first to conduct a systematic inquiry into all cases of wrongful conviction. Written by Jon B. Gould, the Chair of the ICVA, who is a professor of justice studies and an attorney, the author focuses on twelve wrongful conviction cases to show how and why wrongful convictions occur, what steps legal and state advocates took to investigate the convictions, how these prisoners were ultimately freed, and what lessons can be learned from their experiences.
Gould recounts how a small band of attorneys and other advocates — in Virginia and around the country — have fought wrongful convictions in court, advanced the subject of wrongful convictions in the media, and sought to remedy the issue of wrongful convictions in the political arena. He makes a strong case for the need for Innocence Commissions in every state, showing that not only do Innocence Commissions help to identify weaknesses in the criminal justice system and offer workable improvements, but also protect society by helping to ensure that actual perpetrators are expeditiously identified, arrested, and brought to trial. Everyone has an interest in preventing wrongful convictions, from police officers and prosecutors, who seek the latest and best investigative techniques, to taxpayers, who want an efficient criminal justice system, to suspects who are erroneously pursued and sometimes convicted.
Free of legal jargon and written for a general audience, The Innocence Commission is instructive, informative, and highly compelling reading.

Commercial Law - Payment of Commission - Commercial Agency Regulations - Commercial Agent
The case of brood of Paul Chevassus-Marche v Groupe Danone and Others (Case C-19/07) [2008], complex a assurance on association laws apropos to bartering agents. According to Article 7(2) of Council charge (EEC) 86/653 (On the allocation of the laws of the affiliate states apropos to self-employed bartering agents) ("the Directive"):
"A bartering abettor shall additionally be advantaged to bureau on affairs assured during the aeon covered by the bureau arrangement either breadth he was entrusted with a specific bounded breadth or accumulation of customers... And breadth the transaction has been entered into with a chump acceptance to that breadth or group...".
Article 10 provides as follows:
"(1) The bureau shall become due as anon as and to the admeasurement that one of the afterward affairs obtains:
(a) the arch has accomplished the transaction; or the arch should, according to his acceding with the third party, accept accomplished the transaction; or...
(c) the third affair has accomplished the transaction.
(2) The bureau shall become due at the latest back the third affair has accomplished his allotment of the transaction or should accept done so if the arch had accomplished his allotment of the transaction, as he should have".
In 1987, the aboriginal acknowledging in this case assured an absolute authorization with C. The applicants in this case were brood to C's estate. The absolute authorization anxious the aboriginal respondent's representation of C's subsidiaries, namely the additional and third respondents, in their affairs with the importers, wholesalers and retailers of their appurtenances in a specific bounded area.
Before the abortion of that contract, C requested acquittal of assorted sums. Such sums included commissions apropos to purchases fabricated by two companies accustomed in his bounded area.
The requests for acquittal were banned on the arena that the purchases anxious had been fabricated from axial affairs admiral or dealers in city France, an breadth alfresco the ascendancy of the respondents, and after any activity on C's part.
C again brought an activity apropos acquittal of commission.
The civic cloister fabricated a advertence to the cloister of Justice of the European Communities. The catechism anxious a appeal for a basic cardinal on the estimation of Article 7(2) of the Directive. The catechism referred by the civic cloister was as to whether Article 7(2) of the charge was to be interpreted as acceptation that:
"A bartering abettor entrusted with a specific bounded breadth was advantaged to bureau breadth a bartering transaction amid a third affair and a chump acceptance to that breadth had been assured after any action, either absolute or indirect, on the principal's part".
It was captivated as follows:
The cloister was of the assessment that
· Article 7(2) of the charge had to be interpreted as acceptation that a bartering abettor entrusted with a specific bounded breadth did not accept the appropriate to a bureau for affairs assured by barter acceptance to that breadth after any action, absolute or indirect, on the allotment of the principal.
· Article 7(2) alone refers to any affairs assured during the aeon covered by the bureau contract. There is no affirmation that those affairs had to be entered into with a chump acceptance to a bounded breadth or a accumulation of barter for whom the bartering abettor was responsible.
· There is not an accurate affirmation for activity on the allotment of the principal, and there is no affirmation for activity on the allotment of the bartering agent.
· However, it should be acclaimed that back because Article 7(2) in affiliation with Article 10, the bartering agent's appropriate to bureau arises either:
§ back the arch has (or should have) agitated out his obligation; or
§ back the third affair to the bureau contract, namely, the customer, has (or should have) agitated out his obligation.
· The attendance of the arch in the affairs for which the bartering abettor could affirmation bureau was indispensable. It accordingly followed that the bartering abettor could affirmation commission. The bartering agent's affirmation for bureau could be fabricated on the base of a transaction alone to the admeasurement that the arch had acted, anon or indirectly, in the cessation of that transaction.
· As a result, this meant that it was for the civic cloister to establish:
"Whether or not the affirmation afore it, adjourned in the ablaze of the aim of attention the bartering abettor and of the obligation on the arch to act accurately and in acceptable faith, accustomed it to authorize the actuality of such action, be that activity of a acknowledged nature".
