Argued January 8, 1997 Decided June 26, 1997 In New York, as in most States, it is a crime to aid another to commit or attempt suicide, but patients may refuse even lifesaving medical treatment. Respondent New York physicians assert that, although it would be consistent with the standards of their medical practices to prescribe lethal medication for mentally competent, terminally ill patients who are suffering great pain and desire a doctor's help in taking their own lives, they are deterred from doing so by New York's assisted suicide ban. They, and three gravely ill patients who have since died, sued the State's Attorney General, claiming that the ban violates the

2. FOIA Post (2001): New Attorney General FOIA Memorandum Issued New attorney general FOIA Memorandum Issued FOIA when they are challenged in court. This differs from the need to protect critical systems, facilities, stockpiles, and other assets http://www.usdoj.gov/oip/foiapost/2001foiapost19.htm

New Attorney General FOIA Memorandum Issued A new statement of Administration policy on the Freedom of Information Act has been issued by Attorney General John Ashcroft and has been transmitted to all agencies across the executive branch of the federal government. On October 12, Attorney General Ashcroft issued a memorandum to the heads of all departments and agencies that supersedes the Department of Justice FOIA policy memorandum that had been in effect since October 1993. The new Ashcroft FOIA Memorandum was effective immediately upon issuance, and the presidential statement on the FOIA that was issued in 1993 remains in effect as well. The Ashcroft FOIA Memorandum emphasizes the Administration's commitment to full compliance with the FOIA as an important means of maintaining an open and accountable system of government. At the same time, it recognizes the importance of protecting the sensitive institutional, commercial, and personal interests that can be implicated in government records such as the need to safeguard national security, to maintain law enforcement effectiveness, to respect business confidentiality, to protect internal agency deliberations, and to preserve personal privacy. In replacing the predecessor FOIA memorandum, the Ashcroft FOIA Memorandum establishes a new "sound legal basis" standard governing the Department of Justice's decisions on whether to defend agency actions under the FOIA when they are challenged in court. This differs from the "foreseeable harm" standard that was employed under the predecessor memorandum. Under the new standard, agencies should reach the judgment that their use of a FOIA exemption is on sound footing, both factually and legally, whenever they withhold requested information.

OFFICE OF THE AG PUBLICATIONS CONTACT US SEARCH ... LINKS TO STATE SITES Court Grants Temporary Order Sought by Attorney General, ISO to Keep Power Available for Purchase by California FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE (SACRAMENTO) – US District Judge Frank C. Damrell Jr. today extended the temporary restraining order sought by Attorney General Bill Lockyer and the California Independent Systems Operator, requiring four major power generators to continue to sell electricity to California. Rejecting arguments advanced by the energy companies, the judge agreed to require Reliant, Dynegy, AES and Williams to sell power to California until another court hearing is held February 16. The next hearing will determine whether the temporary restraining order will be converted to a preliminary injunction, which would remain in effect until a trial is held on the merits. In issuing his early evening decision, Judge Damrell said, "The State of California is confronting an energy crisis of catastrophic proportions." The temporary court order was sought after the power companies would not commit to selling electricity to California. A federal Department of Energy order that required out-of-state generators to sell to California expired at midnight Tuesday.

Statement of Tracy A. Henke Principal Heputy Assistant Attorney General Office of Justice Grograms before the Indian Affairs Committee United States Senate concerning the Justice Department's Fiscal Year 2003 Budget to Support Initiatives in Indian Country Presented on March 5, 2002 Chairman Inouye, Vice-Chairman Campbell, and Members of the Committee: I appreciate the opportunity to appear before this Committee to discuss the Justice Department's proposed Fiscal Year 2003 budget priorities for Indian Country. As the Committee is aware, for far too long the needs of Indian tribal governments in combating crime and violence have been ignored. This Administration is committed to addressing the most serious law enforcement problems in Indian Country, including substance abuse, domestic violence, and other violent crimes and to ensuring that Indian tribes are full partners in this effort. One of the Department's primary resources for funding and other assistance in Indian Country is the Office of Justice Programs (OJP). Through OJP and its component bureaus, the Department identifies emerging criminal and juvenile justice system issues, develops new ideas and tests promising approaches, evaluates program results, collects statistics, and disseminates these findings and other information to federal, state, and local units of government, Indian tribes, and criminal justice professionals. OJP works to prevent and control crime and help crime victims by providing funding to and assisting state and local governments, Indian tribes, law enforcement, prosecutors, courts, corrections, and other service providers.

Pennsylvania Attorney General Discusses Legal Cooperation by Shira Schoenberg Youth violence, the death penalty, and extradition laws were just some of the issues discussed when Pennsylvania The attorneys general learned the background of the Israeli legal system from the dean of the Buckman Faculty of Law at Tel Aviv University. They then met with Israeli Supreme Court President Aharon Barak, as well as Deputy Chief of Justice Systems David Wiener. According to Fisher, this was an opportunity to "learn firsthand about the Israel judicial system." Fisher said there are some similarities between the U.S. and Israeli justice systems, such as the appellate process and procedures, but there are many more differences. For example, U.S. Supreme Court decisions are based on the constitution. Israel, however, does not have a Constitution, and, being only 51 years old, is still trying to establish its laws. Another major difference is that, unlike Americans, Israeli citizens have no right to a jury trial. Decisions are made by judges who are appointed by a merit system. Also, the death penalty does not exist in Israel. The only time anyone was executed in Israel was in a special case when Nazi war criminal Adolph Eichmann was executed for his crimes against humanity.

"Now, thanks to an agreement approved by 15th Judicial Circuit Court Judge Jorge LaBarga, St. Mary's will continue its historic life-saving mission." Key to the settlement agreement are offers from the Health Care Company (HCA) and Tenet to purchase and operate the two hospitals until at least 2011. Citing losses of some $2 million a month, Intracoastal Health Systems officials last June announced they would be forced to close St. Mary's, marking an end to the 460-bed hospital's seven decades as an acute health care facility.

16 June 1998 STATEMENT DELIVERED BY HON. S. AMOS WAKO ATTORNEY-GENERAL OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA Mr. President, Allow me at the outset to join previous speakers in congratulating you on your unanimous election to preside over this important conference. On behalf of my delegation, I assure you of the support of the Government of Kenya. Let me also thank the Government of Italy for hosting this important conference. Mr. President, This historic gathering is perhaps the most important event to take place in the field of codification and progressive development of international law since the creation of the United Nations. Its successful outcome will not only pave the way for the establishment of an international criminal court but also transform international law as we know it today. My delegation wishes to express its gratitude to Adrian Bos of the Netherlands for his pioneering role as President of the Preparatory Committee for the establishment of the International Criminal Court. The excellent and skilful manner in which he guided difficult negotiating session of the preparatory meetings in New York including intersessional consultations have been essential to the progress achieved so far towards preparing a widely acceptable draft statute for the establishment of the court. The fact that the Preparatory Committee was able to prepare and present to this Conference a consolidated text which will form the basis of our negotiations, is an achievement that demonstrates the willingness and determination of the international community, represented by different legal system and tradition, to overcome the many difficult and complex issues, and find ways to reach agreement on the Status of the Court.

Back Docket No.: SJC-08927 Parties: County: Dates: November 5, 2003. Present: Summary: Attorney General. Contract, Employment. Labor, Wages. Employment, Termination. Damages, Employment contract. 2. Discussion. The statute, G. L. c. 149, § 148, requires employers to make payment of "wages" to employees within specific time periods. For purposes of that section, "[t]he word 'wages' shall include any holiday or vacation payments due an employee under an oral or written agreement." Id. The statute further provides that "[n]o person shall by a special contract with an employee or by any other means exempt himself from this section . . . ." Id. Interpreting the parties' agreement in this fashion, Hutchins was "eligible" for vacation time as of the date that he was terminated, and nothing in the agreement would take away his entitlement to that vacation time. Where he was owed vacation time under the employment agreement, payment for that unused vacation time is a form of "wages" that must be paid pursuant to § 148. Judgment affirmed.

PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact : Lori Sitler Phone Pager Date : September 12, 2002 NATIONAL YOUTH COURT MONTH OBSERVED IN DELAWARE Local Teen Courts in Dover and Georgetown will participate (Dover, DE): National Youth Court month is being observed this month in hundreds of communities that host teen court programs, including towns in Kent and Sussex counties in Delaware. Delaware Teen Court, Inc. in Dover became operational in late 1998 through the efforts of the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary and the Attorney General's office. In Georgetown, the Sussex Teen Court has been operating for nearly one year with the help of the Auxiliary and the Attorney General's office. Both programs are non-profit agencies with local Boards of Directors. In Delaware, the Teen Court programs were formed as a diversion program from Family Court for first-time juvenile offenders charged with misdemeanor, non-violent crimes. Juveniles voluntarily agree to participate in the diversion option and must plead guilty to the charges for which they were arrested. A jury, made up of previous offenders who are "sentenced" to jury duty, and other teenage volunteers from the community, hears the details of the case from victims, other witnesses and teens acting as prosecutor and defense attorney and decides on a sentence for the offender. Referrals to both Teen Court programs are made through the Attorney General's office. The Teen Courts are highly effective. Since its inception in 1998, the Delaware Teen Court in Kent County reports an 11% re-offense rate. In the newer, Sussex Teen Court program, the rate is less than 7%. Attorney General M. Jane Brady commented, "This is a unique educational experience for young people to learn to make better decisions about their lives and to understand there are consequences to each decision they make. I am very pleased with the success of the program and applaud the Auxiliary, the courts, the volunteers and my staff for their effort."
