The Jury's Historic Domain In Complex Cases, Roger W. Kirst Dec 1982

The Jury's Historic Domain In Complex Cases, Roger W. Kirst

Washington Law Review

Part I of this article will review the major developments in the complexity debate. Part II will discuss the development and modem employment of the judge-jury historical test. Part III will examine how the judge-jury historical test accommodates both judicial control of the jury and a political role for the jury. Part IV will discuss how application of the judge-jury historical test will permit judges to use new or expanded powers, such as direct judicial factfinding on some issues in complex cases. Part V will compare the judge-jury historical test with other approaches to the complexity problem.


Insurance Law And Asbestosis—When Is Coverage Of A Progressive Diease Triggered?—Keene Corporation V. Insurance Company Of North America, 667 F.2d 1034 (D.C. Cir. 1981), Cert. Denied, 102 S. Ct. 1644 (1982), Rebecca Cochran Earnest Dec 1982

Insurance Law And Asbestosis—When Is Coverage Of A Progressive Diease Triggered?—Keene Corporation V. Insurance Company Of North America, 667 F.2d 1034 (D.C. Cir. 1981), Cert. Denied, 102 S. Ct. 1644 (1982), Rebecca Cochran Earnest

Washington Law Review

In Keene Corp. v. Insurance Co. of North America, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia integrated those approaches, holding that insurance coverage is triggered both by exposure to asbestos and by development and manifestation of a related disease. Each insurer covering any period during this process is liable for indemnification of the manufacturer and for defense costs. This liability is limited, however, to policy coverage, and many be reduced by the policy's other-insurance clause. The court also held that the manufacturer is not proportionately liable for the periods during which it was uninsured. Thus, the …


Statutes Of Limitations And Opting Out Of Class Actions, Michigan Law Review Dec 1982

Statutes Of Limitations And Opting Out Of Class Actions, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note argues that one who opts out of a class action should not benefit from tolling for the time during which the individual was a class member. Part I develops an analytical framework, grounded in the underlying policies of statutes of limitations and applied in recent Supreme Court decisions, for resolving tolling questions. This Part concludes that a plaintiff must show that tolling will not conflict with the policy purposes animating statutes of limitations, as well as a policy reason that favors tolling. Part II applies the first of these parameters to the opt-out situation, and concludes that tolling …

Trial Practice And Procedure (Annual Survey Of Georgia Law), C. Ronald Ellington, T. Bart Gary Oct 1982

Trial Practice And Procedure (Annual Survey Of Georgia Law), C. Ronald Ellington, T. Bart Gary

Scholarly Works

This survey contains only a handful of the hundreds of decisions rendered last year by the Georgia appellate courts on points of trial practice and procedure. The decisions chosen for review were selected because they resolved previously undecided issues or aptly illustrated some important principle of civil procedure. Three fairly technical legislative amendments to the Civil Practice Act (CPA) dealing with the applicability of the CPA, the requirement of filing discovery documents, and the effect of a dismissal for failure to prosecute are also noted. This survey will follow the format used in the past by beginning with cases dealing …

Curbing Litigation Abuses: Judicial Control Of Adversary Ethics—The Model Rules Of Professional Conduct And Proposed Amendments To The Rules Of Civil Procedure, Richard H. Underwood Jul 1982

Curbing Litigation Abuses: Judicial Control Of Adversary Ethics—The Model Rules Of Professional Conduct And Proposed Amendments To The Rules Of Civil Procedure, Richard H. Underwood

Law Faculty Scholarly Articles

This Article addresses the effectiveness of recent developments and proposals related to abusive litigation, and discusses them in the context of recent opinions illustrating the power of the trial judge to control the excesses of the adversary system. It rejects the countersuit as a time-consuming and costly means of controlling litigation abuses, and concludes that “tinkering changes” in the rules of procedure cannot bring about true reform. It is urged here that the burden resulting from abuse of litigation can only be relieved by changes which foster stronger judicial control of adversarial ethics, and greater judicial involvement in the pretrial …

News-Source Privilege In Libel Cases: A Critical Analysis, David Joseph Smith Mar 1982

News-Source Privilege In Libel Cases: A Critical Analysis, David Joseph Smith

Washington Law Review

This comment first examines the recent cases in which a libel plaintiff was impeded by the use of a qualified privilege from obtaining the identity of news sources behind an allegedly defamatory story. It next discusses the historical development of the constitutional news-source privilege and concludes that neither traditional first amendment press clause doctrine nor the United States Supreme Court's decision in Branzburg v. Hayes is authority for such a privilege. This comment then points out that courts which nonetheless recognize a constitutional news-source privilege in civil cases have given the same protection to all sources, regardless of the publication's …

Judicial Restraining Orders And The Media: Does It Really Matter Who Is Gagged?, James M. Jennings Ii Jan 1982

Judicial Restraining Orders And The Media: Does It Really Matter Who Is Gagged?, James M. Jennings Ii

University of Richmond Law Review

Writing in Bridges v. California, Justice Hugo Black observed forty years ago that "free speech and fair trials are two of the most cherished policies of our civilization, and it would be a trying task to choose between them." And yet, these constitutionally guaranteed rights have been in conflict since at least 1807.

Collateral Estoppel, Rose M. Alexander, Ofie T. Rubin, Anita G. Vaughn, Carol L. Wingo Jan 1982

Collateral Estoppel, Rose M. Alexander, Ofie T. Rubin, Anita G. Vaughn, Carol L. Wingo

University of Richmond Law Review

The doctrine of collateral estoppel involves the use of an old judgment in a new action to prevent the relitigation of issues resolved by that old judgment. At common law, use of the doctrine required that the party using collateral estoppel and the party against whom it was used be the same as the parties to the prior judgment. This common law requirement of mutuality has been relaxed and since the United States Supreme Court's 1979 decision in ParklaneHoisery Co. v. Shore, the strict common law requirement of mutuality has all but completely vanished. In Parklane the Court sanctioned the …


The Prejudicial Effects Of Cameras In The Courtroom, Robert J. Fuoco Jan 1982

The Prejudicial Effects Of Cameras In The Courtroom, Robert J. Fuoco

University of Richmond Law Review

The Supreme Court recently held in Chandler v. Florida, that absent a showing of actual prejudice, it is not per se unconstitutional to televise trials over the objection of the defendant. This decision has a direct bearing on state court procedures, as over one-half of the states currently permit television coverage of trials in one form or another. However, sheer numbers supporting a proposition do not make that proposition "right", nor does a Supreme Court decision upholding its constitutionality imply an unqualified stamp of approval. In fact, previous Supreme Court decisions have overturned convictions because the defendant's right to a …
