Federal Venue Under Section1392(A): The Problem Of The Multidistrict Defendant, Brent E. Johnson
Federal Venue Under Section1392(A): The Problem Of The Multidistrict Defendant, Brent E. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
This Note argues that a broad construction of section 1392(a) which would allow Aunt Bea to bring suit in the Southern District of California where Mayberry alone resides is preferable to a narrow construction which would restrict Bea to the Northern District where both defendants reside. Part I of this Note maintains that the language of section 1392(a) is ambiguous and does not indicate the clear intent of Congress, despite assertions to the contrary by proponents of both the broad and narrow constructions of the statute. Part II demonstrates that a superficially relevant Supreme Court decision tending to support the …
Target Litigation, Michael Rosenzweig
Target Litigation, Michael Rosenzweig
Michigan Law Review
In Part I, I explore the motives of litigious target managers. I briefly examine the takeover defense literature and empirical evidence regarding the frequency of target litigation, both of which indicate that target managers usually sue bidders in order to defeat unwanted takeover attempts. I also suggest that judicial reactions to target lawsuits largely confirm this hypothesis.
I then discuss, in Part II, target management's conflict of interest in control contests and the particular strategic considerations that lead target managers to sue hostile bidders. I argue that target litigation is peculiarly likely to be frivolous and, based on a study …

Agenda: Getting A Handle On Hazardous Waste Control, University Of Colorado Boulder. Natural Resources Law Center
Getting a Handle on Hazardous Waste Control (Summer Conference, June 9-10)
The conference chairman was University of Colorado School of Law professor Lawrence J. MacDonnell.
During the past ten years Congress has made the regulation of hazardous waste a priority. This conference focuses on the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended in 1984, and the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act.
This conference attracted about 100 registrants from 16 states plus the District of Columbia. John G. Welles, Regional Director for EPA Region 8, presented a luncheon address.

Environmental Litigation In Historical Perspective, Samuel P. Hays
Environmental Litigation In Historical Perspective, Samuel P. Hays
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
During the past several decades, litigation has played a major role in the attempt by citizens to realize environmental objectives. Its impact has been elaborated extensively in the vast array of writing in law journals as well as in the cases themselves. Most analyses have focused on specialized subjects of either substantive policy or legal procedure. In this brief Essay I attempt a more comprehensive overview involving two background factors- the growth of environmental values since World War II and the response of governmental institutions to the resulting demands placed upon them. Among these institutions were the courts. Their role …
In The Wake Of The Snail Darter: An Environmental Law Paradigm And Its Consequences, Zygmunt J.B. Plater
In The Wake Of The Snail Darter: An Environmental Law Paradigm And Its Consequences, Zygmunt J.B. Plater
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Everything is connected to everything else: so goes the first law of ecology. This interconnectedness is reflected in environmental law as well, extending beyond natural science and particular resource conflicts to link environmental law intimately with the politics, philosophies, economics, and societal values that form its much larger context-an ecology of human and natural systems.
The Tellico Dam litigation reflected this interconnectedness. On its face, it was a simple environmental confrontation; it will be remembered as the "extreme" case of the little endangered fish, the snail darter, that almost stopped a Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) dam. But if one picks …
An Analysis Of Public Attitudes Toward The Insanity Defense, Valerie P. Hans
An Analysis Of Public Attitudes Toward The Insanity Defense, Valerie P. Hans
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Results from a public opinion survey of knowledge, attitudes, and support for the insanity defense indicate that people dislike the insanity defense for both retributive and utilitarian reasons: they want insane law-breakers punished, and they believe that insanity defense procedures fail to protect the public. However, people vastly overestimate the use and success of the insanity plea. Several attitudinal and demographic variables that other researchers have found to be associated with people's support for the death penalty and perceptions of criminal sentencing are also related to support for the insanity defense. Implications for public policy are discussed.

The Conduct Of Voir Dire: A Psychological Analysis, Valerie P. Hans
The Conduct Of Voir Dire: A Psychological Analysis, Valerie P. Hans
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
The voir dire process in jury selection, in which the prospective jurors are questioned about their possible biases in the case, has come under increasing scrutiny in recent years. This article discusses psychological research and its implications for the conduct of the voir dire. The research indicates that individual, sequestered, open-ended questioning on issues directly relevant to the trial is the superior method for uncovering bias in prospective jurors. Furthermore, adversary attorneys appear to have a modest edge over judges in the detection of prejudice. The author notes that these findings must be balanced against other interests served by the …

Suing In The Right Of The Corporation: A Commentary And Proposal For Legislative Reform, Lawrence A. Larose
Suing In The Right Of The Corporation: A Commentary And Proposal For Legislative Reform, Lawrence A. Larose
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article is premised on the belief that the derivative action is uniquely susceptible to strike suit litigation-that is, actions with little or no substantive merit but pursued to exploit the nuisance value inherent in litigation. Although there is historic support for the notion of "pernicious and vexing" derivative litigation, some modern evidence suggests that the vast majority of publicly held companies experience no derivative litigation. Commentators, however, have questioned both the validity of the modern evidence and the conclusions derived from it. Despite these criticisms, observers of the present vitality of the derivative action, far from characterizing it as …
The Application Of A Due Diligence Requirement To Market Share Theory In Des Litigation, Thomas C. Willcox
The Application Of A Due Diligence Requirement To Market Share Theory In Des Litigation, Thomas C. Willcox
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that courts should impose a due diligence requirement on plaintiffs as a prerequisite to the use of market share theory. Part I examines traditional products liability theories along with alternative theories and explains the relationship of due diligence to market share theory. Part II argues that due diligence should be a prerequisite to market share liability. Part III discusses the nature of due diligence in this context. Finally, Part IV considers various objections to a due diligence requirement and argues that they are essentially without merit.
Policing The Bases Of Modern Expert Testimony, Ronald L. Carlson
Policing The Bases Of Modern Expert Testimony, Ronald L. Carlson
Vanderbilt Law Review
Technical witnesses have revolutionized the American lawsuit. Advertisements in litigation periodicals bear witness to the broad range of courtroom expert testimony available to the trial bar. A specialist in airplane pilot error places an advertisement on the same page with an advertiser who is eminently qualified to provide expert testimony in churning securities litigation."' Also included are obscenity experts for criminal cases as well as a timber products specialist with "global experience in accidents and related cases," who claims, "more than 30 years experience with wood utility poles."' Within the category of timber and woods there are other experts as …
