This article examines the impact of early provision of counsel on judges’ pretrial release and bail decisions in two rural counties in upstate New York, in cases involving felony charges. This study builds upon previously reported research on misdemeanor cases. We note that although the stakes are higher in felony cases, few studies have investigated the dynamics of first appearance decisions at either level. We investigate the hypotheses that when defendants are represented by attorneys at their first appearances in court, (a) judges are more inclined to release on recognizance or under supervision, (b) judges impose less restrictive bail amounts, and (c) as a consequence, defendants spend less time detained prior to disposition. We find mixed support for these hypotheses, although some evidence that counsel at first appearance (CAFA) produces the expected outcomes. We conclude that the implementation of programs intended to ensure CAFA may be tempered by courthouse cultures, and that future research on court reform should include the study of rural jurisdictions.

One century and half disputes in historical and law literature around the phenomena of the Court reform of 1864 have been leading. The subjects of disputes are the content of the reform in general and its new principles and institutions in particular. Sometimes discussions around court reform are under influence of political juncture. The article is devoted to the analyses of some disputing problems of the preparation, realization and content of the Court reform of 1864. One of such question is a problem whether the Court reform of 1864 was timely, and whether Russian people were ready to accept its progressive principles and institutions. Also in the article the problem of two approaches, two ideologies, two schools of development of state and law — “the historical” and “the realistic” was researched. Author comes to the analyses of constitutional potential anticipatory establishment of independent judicial power, promoting the development of the institutions of parliamentarianism and constitutional monarchy. Author sees the main achievement of the Court reform in establishment of independent judicial power, free from administrative influence, defines its connection with supreme power of the Tsar’ and describe the main parameters of the judicial power in XIX сentury. Also author analyzed the problem of overcoming of legal dualism through activity of local courts (justice of the peace and volostnoy court).
