What Congress Knows And Sometimes Doesn't Know, Muriel Morisey Spence Jan 1996

What Congress Knows And Sometimes Doesn't Know, Muriel Morisey Spence

University of Richmond Law Review

It is a striking feature of the legislative process that Congress is neither required to articulate reasons for its actions nor subject to constitutional challenge merely on the ground that its choices are uninformed. The Constitution contains a variety of procedural rules for enacting legislation. It also requires that statutes conform to a number of substantive requirements. But Congress has traditionally enjoyed wide latitude in deciding whether and to what extent it bases decisions on policy-relevant knowledge or articulates the factual foundations for its actions. Until recently, even when evaluating statutes under close judicial scrutiny, the Supreme Court has tended …


America's Offshore Refugee Camps, Harold Hongju Koh Jan 1994

America's Offshore Refugee Camps, Harold Hongju Koh

University of Richmond Law Review

America's offshore refugee camps rank among the most startling, yet invisible, features of United States foreign policy in the post-Cold War era. Since 1991, our Government has almost continuously maintained tent cities holding thousands of men, women, and children, surrounded by rolls of razor-barbed wire, amid the sweltering heat of the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the former Panama Canal Zone. Those incarcerated in the camps have witnessed birth and death, hope and despair, and untold waves of frustration and tedium.


Advisory Opinions: Cautions About Non-Judicial Undertakings, Robert H. Kennedy Jan 1989

Advisory Opinions: Cautions About Non-Judicial Undertakings, Robert H. Kennedy

University of Richmond Law Review

Justices of several states, unlike members of the federal judiciary, render advisory opinions to governors and legislatures. In those states, the justices have the authority to issue requested opinions in the absence of pending litigation. Although the practice earlier had more widespread use, it has never been employed by all states. Unless carefully circumscribed, the advisory process has considerable unexamined significance.


Warrantless Searches Of Automobiles In Virginia, Keith L. Phillips Jan 1978

Warrantless Searches Of Automobiles In Virginia, Keith L. Phillips

University of Richmond Law Review

Most people consider automobiles to be a safe place to store personal effects. But just as innocent articles can be kept in automobiles, so can contraband or other evidence of crime. Thus, courts have had to apply the law of search and seizure-which once spoke primarily to the security of the home-to a new setting. The courts treatment has not always been consistent. With a proper warrant, the search of an automobile is valid; but the more perplexing question is, "When is such a search valid without a warrant?" This comment attempts to answer that question, in part, by surveying …


Third-Year Practice Rules In Virginia: Notes For The Practitioner, George K. Walker Jan 1976

Third-Year Practice Rules In Virginia: Notes For The Practitioner, George K. Walker

University of Richmond Law Review

It is pleasing to know that all courts sitting in Virginia have provided for student participation in the processing of cases. Within the boundaries of the Commonwealth, there is a uniform recognition of the need and appropriateness of judicial cooperation in the process of educating young men and women in the law.


Abrogation Of Governmental Immunity- Prospective, Quasi-Prospective, Or Retrospective Application Jan 1972

Abrogation Of Governmental Immunity- Prospective, Quasi-Prospective, Or Retrospective Application

University of Richmond Law Review

There is probably no tenet in our law that has been more universally berated by courts and legal writers alike than the doctrine of governmental and sovereign immunity. In response to this criticism, recent cases have indicated the existence of a trend to abrogate the doctrine either in whole or in part. Because the merits of the abrogation of governmental and sovereign immunity have been thoroughly discussed in the past, only the various methods of application will be discussed herein.


The Space Age: Legal And Policy Problems, Carl T. Curtis Jan 1971

The Space Age: Legal And Policy Problems, Carl T. Curtis

University of Richmond Law Review

Public realization that the Space Age was at hand came with the launching of Sputnik on October 4, 1957. A second and much larger Soviet earth satellite, containing a dog, was launched on Novem- ber 3, 1957. This startling emergence of Soviet space science and technology had grave implications for the security of the free world, be- cause it demonstrated that the U.S.S.R. possessed much of the technology required to explore and control space. Moreover, through the Sputnik launchings, the Soviet Union revealed a capacity to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles. Future methods of maintaining peace or waging war would be …
