THEY CALL IT JUSTICE: COMMAND INFLUENCE AND THE COURT-MARTIAL SYSTEM. By Luther C. West. New York: The Viking Press, 1977. Pp.xii, 302. $12.95.
Reviewed by Daniel H. Benson
In his book West is dealing with a subject that is difficult to discuss without generating hostility, misunderstanding, and, occasionally, incredulity. He is attacking the classic military understanding of the basic purpose of the court-martial system. He asks the reader to accept his word and assurances concerning the accuracy of the problems he describes, over the assurances of the military justice establishment that all is well. In doing all of this, West …

This article opened last year with a discussion of McGovern v. American Airlines, Inc. and the principle that it is the plaintiff's burden to allege and invoke federal jurisdiction. McGovern was undercut somewhat by the 1976 case of Skidmore v. Syntex Laboratories, Inc. Indeed, one dissenting judge argued that the Fifth Circuit was permitting jurisdiction even though the plaintiff had failed to make even a prima facie showing of essential jurisdictional facts. The plaintiff, a Texas citizen, brought a products-liability diversity action against one Delaware corporation and one Panamanian corporation. The plaintiff, even after substantial discovery, was unable to demonstrate …

Brainerd Currie was already a legend when he came to Duke from the University of Chicago. I was a third-year law student then and took his course in Conflicts in the spring of 1962—a dazzling intellectual display centered around the hard practicalities of complex litigation. But Currie was more than just a great teacher and scholar. Too busy to take a vacation ("How can you talk about taking a trip to Europe, McElhaney? I'm too busy to go to Europe, and you're going to be practicing. "), he had time to talk with us after class; to drink a cup …
Prisoners' Rights Litigation- 42 U.S.C. §1983- Litigation: Defendant's View, Burnett Miller Iii
Prisoners' Rights Litigation- 42 U.S.C. §1983- Litigation: Defendant's View, Burnett Miller Iii
University of Richmond Law Review
There can be little doubt that since the late 1960's the status and conditions of our prisons have become a public issue. It can probably be said without citation that as a general proposition most states have found their prisons in a state of need. Our prisons have for many years been economically neglected in the wake of more publicly acceptable priorities. The philosophy seemed to be that prisoners were criminals that should be put away, and their lot was of their own making. There would then, of course, always be more pressing and socially acceptable purposes for which to …

Victims' Rights Litigation: A Wave Of The Future?, Frank Carrington, Fred E. Inbau
University of Richmond Law Review
American Jurisprudence 2d quite properly claims to be one of the most, if not the most, comprehensive legal encyclopedia in this country. Any attorney who has had the opportunity to peruse this work would be forced to agree. It is, therefore, an interesting and unfortunate commentary upon the state of law in our society that of the thousands of topics covered in this monumental compendium of knowledge, none deals with the victims of crime.
Litigation Against A State Trader- A No-Win Contest, Jon Magnusson
Litigation Against A State Trader- A No-Win Contest, Jon Magnusson
University of Richmond Law Review
A litigant who sues a state trading corporation for eight years through two trials, four appeals, and three certiorari denials, and then finally wins a judgment for $411,203.72, but is unable to collect on his judgment, might feel a little discouraged about the fairness of a principle of law that denies him a right to recovery. The principle is "sovereign immunity;" a sovereign state and its property, without its consent, are immune from the adjudicative processes of the courts in another sovereign state. In traditional international law, it does not matter what kind of activity the state is engaged in; …

University of Richmond Law Review
During the years of the Warren Court, much social progress was achieved in this country through litigation. In the areas of civil liberties and civil rights this was chiefly done through affirmative law suits brought in federal court under the Civil Rights Act of 1870. While this Act was not widely used in its first ninety years, its development in the last two decades has been remarkable. Suits under the Constitution and this Act have brought dramatic change in the fields of civil rights and civil liberties.

Before the mid-1960's, the federal courts frequently invoked the "hands-off" doctrine, a rule of deference to state correctional administrators, when petitioned by inmates to review conditions in state jails and prisons. When applied, the doctrine essentially held that a state prisoner's grievance was beyond the scope of authority or competence ofthe federal judiciary. With an increasing realization during the late 1960's and early 1970's that federal court intervention into state prison matters would be necessary, the 42 U.S.C. § 19831 civil rights complaint became the leading tool for effecting change in the area of prisoners rights. In order to gain …
