The Civil Investigative Demand: A Constitutional Analysis And Model Proposal, Anthony J. Mcfarland Nov 1980

The Civil Investigative Demand: A Constitutional Analysis And Model Proposal, Anthony J. Mcfarland

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note first traces the initial judicial reaction to administrative demands for information and administrative investigations and delineates the constitutional requirement set forth therein. The Note next examines the development of CIDs and analyzes decisions upholding their constitutionality. This Note contends that most courts either have incorrectly applied current administrative standards to the CID or have failed to apply such standards altogether. The analysis is broken down into six parts,each dealing with a separate constitutional basis for a CID challenge. Because most suits that contest CIDs are based on fourth amendment search and seizure issues, the bulk of this Note …


Liability Of Directors Under The Federal Securities Code, Thomas D. Washburne, Jr. Oct 1980

Liability Of Directors Under The Federal Securities Code, Thomas D. Washburne, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The proposed solution to the controversy surrounding civil liability under the Code and its relationship to indemnification, contribution, and insurance is not a panacea. It is not as neat as one would desire, and it leaves questions unanswered, such as whether the indemnification and contribution changes ought to apply beyond section 1704. Nevertheless, the proposal is internally consistent--an improvement over the Code's liability and indemnification provisions. Furthermore, it has a sound policy basis, and it attempts to meet the arguments of both sides of the American Law Institute debate. In summary, the proposal is as follows:(1) Define inside directors as …


Liability For Proceeding With Unfounded Litigation, John R. Jones, Jr. Apr 1980

Liability For Proceeding With Unfounded Litigation, John R. Jones, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

The important issues for this Note are the meaning of "good ground" and the nature of the sanctions available in a given case.One can conceive of many ways in which a pleading could lack good ground. At one extreme, -the attorney might know that the facts alleged were untrue."' Alternatively, the facts alleged, though not positively known to be untrue, might be based solely on speculation--as when the plaintiff, unsure who assaulted him, picked a name from the telephone directory on a hunch and sued that person." Between these egregious cases and the case in which the allegations have good …

Private Causes Of Action From Federal Statutes: A Strict Standard For Implication By Sole Reliance On Legislative Intent, William Francis Drewry Gallalee Jan 1980

Private Causes Of Action From Federal Statutes: A Strict Standard For Implication By Sole Reliance On Legislative Intent, William Francis Drewry Gallalee

University of Richmond Law Review

The implication doctrine allows a federal court to create a private cause of action from a federal statute that does not expressly provide for a private remedy. In Cort v. Ash, the Supreme Court articulated a four factor test to determine when this doctrine should be utilized. This comment will provide a brief history of the implication doctrine and of the major Supreme Court decisions that culminated in the Cort test. Relevant Supreme Court decisions after Cort,will then be examined to reveal a new, more restrictive approach to implication. Finally, reasons will be advanced that justify this stricter approach.

The Entanglement Test Of The Religion Clauses -- A Ten Year Assessment, Kenneth F. Ripple Jan 1980

The Entanglement Test Of The Religion Clauses -- A Ten Year Assessment, Kenneth F. Ripple

Journal Articles

During its 1979 Term, the Supreme Court of the United States passed the ten-year mark in its employment of the so-called "excessive entanglement" test of the religion clauses. During the past decade this concept has developed from a simple expression of one of the accepted policy considerations underlying interpretation of the religion clauses to an identifiably separate test in establishment clause analysis. In this latter role, the Court has employed the concept to accomplish two distinct, although analytically related, objectives. First, it has sought to identify those legal and administrative relationships between civil and religious authorities which are likely to …
