Differing Schools Of Thought: Changing Perceptions Of Oral Argument, Spencer D. Levine
Differing Schools Of Thought: Changing Perceptions Of Oral Argument, Spencer D. Levine
St. Thomas Law Review
In this paper I will examine the changing perceptions of oral argument, as well as examine and review the data provided by the Office of State Courts Administrator ("OSCA") for Florida's appellate courts. Their data summarized the dispositions of all appeals in Florida from 2011 to 2015. The dispositions are separated between those cases disposed by oral argument and those cases disposed without oral argument. From this research, we can observe whether this data comports with the changing perceptions of oral argument. If there is a divergence in views, one may attempt to determine why. Is it rooted in the …

An Attorney's Right To Retain Fees Derived From A Fraudulent Law Suit, Leonard Pertnoy
Faculty Articles
The remedy of restitution, used to prevent unjust enrichment, is a fundamental right firmly entrenched in the common law. This is especially true in cases where a victim seeks equitable relief to require the return of money or property obtained as a result of fraud. However, should the defrauded person always be entitled to be made whole? Similarly, the remedy of forfeiture is also a deeply rooted legal concept, finding its beginnings in early English common law. Originally, forfeiture was a punishment annexed by law to some illegal act. However, the concept of deodand now not only includes forfeiture of …
