This Week on Due Process

End of life.  A time few of us like to think about.  But, for some - those suffering from irreversible illness and a certain, painful end - a peaceful death, by choice, might seem a reasonable choice.

On this edition of "Due Process, " what proponents call a "death with dignity."  A suicide with some gentle assistance.  Should there be an individual right to die - if pain, disease and a body that's stopped working have made life less than bearable?

The NJ Legislature hasn't yet weighed in on a bill modeled after the Oregon and Washington laws on "right to die," but polls show the public increasingly in favor.

We visit with a man suffering from a degenerative brain disease, who says all he wants is a peaceful finish,  before he loses both his body and his mind, as well as a leader of the national volunteer organization, Final Exit Network.  And we get a look inside a Swiss clinic where the hopelessly ill from all over the world are able to come for help in dying.

Our studio guests: Assemblyman John Burzichelli, the ACLU's Ed Barocas and Seton Hall Law Prof. Kathleen Boozang.

It's a difficult subject - but a "Due Process" you won't want to miss.

New on NJTV - "Mount Laurel"

  "Mount Laurel"

airs: Sunday November 10 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday November 12 at 11:30pm

The Ethel Lawrence Houses, which launched the landmark case

This Week on Due Process

The New York Times places them among the most  "important civil rights decisions of the modern era."   A pair of landmark rulings  by the New Jersey Supreme Court, prohibiting "exclusionary zoning" and requiring a "fair share" of affordable housing in every municipality in the state.

Mount Laurel, a court case that began nearly 50 years ago when the South Jersey suburb blocked just 36 garden apartments intended for displaced black and poor residents.  The NAACP filed suit - and the rest is history.

But it's been a troubled history, praised by some, condemned by others .. and still creating dissension, resistance and, now, still another major Supreme Court ruling.

The ongoing fight for fair housing, the Governor's opposition and what comes next - on this week's edition of "Due Process."

Studio guests: Senator Ray Lesniak and Assemblyman Scott Rumana.

New on NJTV - "Same-Sex Marriage: Here at Last"

  "Same-Sex Marriage: Here at Last"

on

airs: Sunday November 3 at 9:30 am and 7 pm

and Tuesday November 5 at 11:30pm

Cindy Meneghin and Maureen Kilian at their long-awaited wedding In Montclair

This Week on Due Process 

When Lambda Legal filed suit 11 years ago, the idea was to make New Jersey the first state in the union to legalize same-sex marriage.  But 13 other states and the District of Columbia got there first.

It wasn't until late last month that New Jersey finally lifted the bar on gay marriage, and, since then, there's been a run on weddings in this state's same-sex community.

On this edition of Due Process, we look back at the long fight for gay marriage, and our Due Process coverage over the last 17 years.

In the studio: Larry Lustberg, who won the latest court case; former Gov. Jim McGreevey, who signed the state's Domestic Partnerships Act nearly 10 years ago, and Demetrios Stratis, a legal advisor to the NJ Family Policy Council.

We hope you'll join us.
