Right To Counsel In Virginia Jan 1971

Right To Counsel In Virginia

University of Richmond Law Review

The sixth amendment guarantees to an accused the right to assistance of counsel, and this right is extended to state prosecutions through the Due Process clause of the fourteenth amendment. The Supreme Court has interpreted this right to include steps in the proceeding before the trial itself has commenced. In United States v. Wade and Gilbert v. California the Court held post-indictment confrontations for identification purposes to be "critical stages" of the proceedings at which the accused is entitled to the presence of counsel.' Although in both cases the confrontations took place after indictment, the Court indicated that any pretrial …


Local Government Law In Virginia, 1870-1970, Patrick M. Mcsweeney Jan 1970

Local Government Law In Virginia, 1870-1970, Patrick M. Mcsweeney

University of Richmond Law Review

Virginia has never faced more pressing local problems. Both the population and the economy have grown so rapidly in the last several decades that the traditional system of local government has been strained and perhaps even rendered obsolete. This system was established when Virginia was a predominantly rural and agricultural state. But after approximately three centuries without radical change, it has suddenly been threatened by urbanization. Simply put, it was not designed to operate in a predominantly urban and industrial setting and has proven unequal to the task of coping with the problems which attend urbanization.

University of Richmond Law Review

The reception accorded the first number of the University of Richmond Law Notes, published last spring, has been most gratifying. It has encouraged the Faculty to prepare this second number, which also is being distributed to all alumni of the Law School through the courtesy of the University of Richmond Law School Association. There has been a modest volume of requests for copies of the first issue from non-alumni members of the bar and from many law libraries.


Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy Jan 1959

Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy

University of Richmond Law Review

Whereas most Virginia lawyers know about the rule against perpetuities, many of the same lawyers do not know what it is all about. Perpetuities is a dry and dismal subject to an active practitioner, and the state of abject bewilderment with which he was indoctrinated about the rule against perpetuities while in law school lingers on to haunt his memory. for the balance of his professional career. It is not until an actual client appears with a perpetuities problem that the same practitioner is forced to face the stark realities of the rule. It is only then that the complexities …

Foreward, William T. Muse

University of Richmond Law Review

This first issue of the University of Richmond Law Notes inaugurates a service by the Faculty of the Law School which we hope will be of some value to the lawyers of Virginia. If the bar thinks the undertaking worth- while it will become a permanent publication,-perhaps enlarged in scope and volume.
