O'Neill'', 359 U.S. 1 (1959), was a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court held that a Florida statute, established by the enactment of the Uniform Law to Secure the Attendance of Witnesses from Within or Without a State in Criminal Proceedings which established a procedure for a witness to be subpoened with the agreement of a court in a trial state and a court in the state of the witness, on its face does not violate the Privileges and Immunities Clause of Art. IV, § 2 of the Constitution nor the Privileges and Immunities or Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."New York v. O'Neill, 359 U.S. 1 (1959)," Justia.W.

Uniform Law To Secure The Attendance Of Witnesses From Within Or Without A State In Criminal Proceeding
The Uniform Law to Secure the Attendance of Witnesses from Within or Without a State in Criminal Proceedings, also known as the Uniform Act to Secure the Attendance of Witnesses from Without a State in Criminal Proceedings,U.S. Senate (1962)" Conduct of the Trial; Securing the Attendance of Witnesses from Without a State in Criminal Proceedings,"87th United States Congress, p. 566. is a uniform law within the United States. It provides a process by which an attorney in a criminal matter in one U.S. state may seek to secure the attendance of a witness (or seek documents from a witness) from another state; the process requires the approval of courts in both the state in which the criminal matter is being heard, as well as a court in the state in which the witness is found. In the absence of the process being followed, the subpoena power of any state court in the United States generally ends at that state’s border. The uniform law was drafted in 1931, and revised in 1936. In 195 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Legal Procedure
Procedural law, adjective law, in some jurisdictions referred to as remedial law, or rules of court, comprises the rules by which a court hears and determines what happens in civil, lawsuit, criminal or administrative proceedings. The rules are designed to ensure a fair and consistent application of due process (in the U.S.) or fundamental justice (in other common law countries) to all cases that come before a court. Substantive law, which refers to the actual claim and defense whose validity is tested through the procedures of procedural law, is different from procedural law. In the context of procedural law, procedural rights may also refer not exhaustively to rights to information, access to justice, and right to counsel, rights to public participation, and right to confront accusers, as well as the basic presumption of innocence (meaning the prosecution regularly must meet the burden of proof, although different jurisdictions have various exceptions), with those right ...
