Abstract:
When the 1973 North Carolina General Assembly convened in January it was faced with a U.S. Supreme Court decision that raised doubts about the constitutionality of North Carolina's capital punishment statutes. The problem lay in allowing juries discretion to choose between life imprisonment and death for the same crime. Ultimately, the jury's option to recommend life imprisonment was removed, leaving mandatory death penalties for first-degree murder, arson, rape, and first-degree burglary.

Abstract:
It is commonly believed that one trial judge may not overrule another. The rule is more complicated than this simple phrase implies. Judges often consider matters previously reviewed by another judge, especially in superior court where regular rotation of judges is the norm. Generally, one trial judge should not change the legal ruling of another judge. This bulletin explains when modification of another judge's order is allowed and when it is not. This Bulletin updates Administration of Justice Bulletin #2008/02.

Abstract:
In North Carolina the commonly stated rule, for both criminal and civil cases in both superior and district court, is that a judgment or order affecting substantial rights may not be entered without the consent of the parties (1) after the session of court has expired, or (2) while the judge is out of the county or district. Actually, there are many instances when orders may be entered out-of-session and out-of-county, especially in civil cases. This bulletin describes the instances when court orders may be entered out-of-term, out-of-session, and out-of-county.
