DOJ Seeks New Emergency Powers Amid Coronavirus Pandemic
Description (Dublin Core)
Almost everything has been effected by coronavirus and incarceration is no different but one request from the Department of Justice is exceptional. The DOJ has asked Congress for chief judges to be allowed to suspend court proceedings indefinitely. This would allow the suspension of habeas corpus - a defendants right to appear before a judge to seek release or bail - and would apply to criminal and juvenile cases.
