Topic: Article I and Article III tribunals


  
  The Dispatch - Serving the Lexington, NC - News
Article III courts comprise the Supreme Court of the United States and the inferior courts established by the Congress.
Article III includes provisions to protect the courts against influence by the other branches of government: judges may not have their salaries reduced during their tenure in office, and their appointment is for life (barring impeachment and removal for bad behavior).
Article I tribunals or legislative courts are administrative agencies set up by Congress under Article I of the Constitution, and their judges (often called administrative law judges) are not subject to the Article III protections.

Thus, Article I courts ``may be created as special tribunals to examine and determine various matters, arising between the government and others, which from their nature do not require judicial determination and yet are susceptible of it.
Thus, the fact that private rights traditionally at the core of Article III jurisdiction are at stake leads the Court to ``searching'' inquiry as to whether Congress is encroaching inordinately on judicial functions, while the concern is not so great where ``public'' rights are involved.\76\ \75\Thomas v.

 Common Article 3 Of Geneva Conventions, 1949 In The Era Of International Criminal Tribunals - [2001] ISILYBIHRL 11
Common article 3 appears to have been constructed ambiguously with a view to achieve a delicate compromise acceptable to states which are in favour of the restrictive application of humanitarian law to non-international armed conflict.
Article 3 is applicable in case of armed conflict not of international character occurring in the territory of one of the contracting parties to the 1949 Conventions.
The national legislation and the national tribunals are found to discharge the implementation of common article 3 more effectively within the parameters of the constitution and law of the state than the international criminal tribunals which are created to address a particular situation and a need.

 SSRN-Article I Tribunals, Article III Courts, and the Judicial Power of the United States by James Pfander
The literal terms of Article III have seemed to many to rule out reliance upon Article I tribunals altogether; the provision vests the judicial power of the United States in federal courts whose judges enjoy salary and tenure protections that were designed to ensure judicial independence in a scheme of separated powers.
In particular, the Article contends that Congress may constitute inferior tribunals to hear matters that it has structured to fall outside the judicial power of the United States under Article III.
The Article further suggests that the constitutionality of Article I tribunals requires that the tribunals remain inferior to the judicial department of the United States.

Article I, Section 8, Clause 8, of the Constitution reflects a judgment that intellectual property, unlike other forms of property, should be defined by federal, rather than state, law.
In two separate places--Article III, which concerns the federal judiciary, and the Sixth Amendment, which concerns federal criminal trials--the Constitution guarantees that federal criminal trials shall be conducted in front of a jury, and in the state where the crime is alleged to have occurred.
Because juries were in the eighteenth century, and remain today, the voice of the community--a local voice that is distinct from the aggregate of national public opinion.

The medieval Inquisition began in 1184 when Pope Lucius III sent a list of heresies to Europe’s bishops and commanded them to take an active role in determining whether those accused of heresy were, in fact, guilty.
Rather than relying on secular courts, local lords, or just mobs, bishops were to see to it that accused heretics in their dioceses were examined by knowledgeable churchmen using Roman laws of evidence.
Each tribunal was given two Dominican inquisitors, a legal adviser, a constable, a prosecutor, and a large number of assistants.
