Description

The Honorable Anne Segal will share the facts and nothing but the facts behind some of the most notable cases over the years. This presentation will focus on the factual backgrounds of five cases in which the outcomes changed either Arizona’s or the United States’ legal trajectories. Cases like Charauleau v Charauleau, defining a woman’s right to own property, despite her marital status; Miranda v Arizona, leading to the requirement that law enforcement warn a suspect of the Constitutional rights to remain silent; and Clark v Arizona, a landmark US decision about mental illness and its restricted use as a defense and learn the difference between insanity and incompetency. Anne Segal is a Tucsonan and grew up learning about the mid-century modern news of the courts, the people and the history of Pima County. Anne graduated from the University of Arizona, University of San Diego School of Law and the New Mexico State doctoral program in Educational Management and Development. She is married to Dr. Robert Segal and has three children who graduated from Tucson schools. As an attorney, Ph.D educator and author of books about mental health and the criminal justice system, Anne developed a keen interest in the laws of Arizona and the people who created them, caused them and kept them alive. In the series for the Dillinger Courtroom Anne will explore the roles and relationships of the people who worked in the courtroom, terminology of the law for the people and, in a session on Friday, review the facts that created the cases which transformed national policies and human rights. The Pima County Historic Courthouse is among Tucson’s most beloved landmarks. Designed by architect Roy Place, this iconic Spanish Colonial Revival-styled structure was built in 1929 and remained in service for an 86-year span during which time it served as the backdrop for numerous wedding proceedings and became home to several County departments.
