Unseaworthiness And Personal Injuries Ashore, Frank R. Grundman
Unseaworthiness And Personal Injuries Ashore, Frank R. Grundman
Cleveland State Law Review
This note examines the fundamental and dynamic concept of unseaworthiness, and investigates particularly the geographical limits ashore where such injuries may occur and yet be actionable. Crew misconduct will not be considered as a factor in unseaworthiness, as that subject has been treated elsewhere.
Accoutants' Liability To Third Parties, Robert Stern
Accoutants' Liability To Third Parties, Robert Stern
Cleveland State Law Review
The legal relationships within the accounting profession are currently in a state of uncertainty caused by both internal and external forces. Due to fairly recent developments of the law widening the breadth and scope of its potential liability, the accounting profession, in an effort to more precisely define and clarify its moral and legal duties, "is deeply involved in a great debate over how precisely accounting principles should be defined and how rigidly enforced." Some spectacular lawsuits recently ". . . tend to reflect the growing responsibilities and hazards of the accounting profession in an age of increasingly complex international …

Psychiatrist In Workmen's Compensation Field, Donald W. Loria
Psychiatrist In Workmen's Compensation Field, Donald W. Loria
Cleveland State Law Review
At one time, if a physician could find no objective evidence of disability, an employee usually lost his workmen's compensation case. If the x-ray and the electroencephalogram were negative, if no muscle spasm were present, if the diminished sensation to pinprick followed no anatomical pattern-if the doctors could find nothing in the examination to substantiate the employee's complaints of pain-the decision invariably found the employee was malingering. Compensation was denied. Toward the middle of this century, psychiatry began to offer some explanations.
Horseplay By Employees, Howard L. Oleck
Horseplay By Employees, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
A principal type of practical joke (horseplay) injury is that caused by workmen trying to lighten the dull routine of work by playful funmaking. This involves the well established liability of a master for the torts of his servant done in the course and scope of the employment. It also involves the well-known limitation on respondeat superior that results when an employee in effect abandons his employment by making a detour from his business route, or by engaging in "a frolic of his own." This body of law has been greatly limited and changed (but not totally abolished) by enactment …

Drafting And Use Of Opinion Letters Of Counsel, Linn J. Raney
Drafting And Use Of Opinion Letters Of Counsel, Linn J. Raney
Cleveland State Law Review
This article outlines the kinds of opinions which counsel may render to a non-client via letter, the functions of such opinions in a transaction, and the preparation of opinion letters in view of the possibility of counsel's liability thereon to a non-client party. Material for the article was obtained in part from interviews with a number of individuals familiar with transactions commonly involving opinion letters and more particularly transactions wherein opinion letters are transmitted to non-clients for their reliance.
Third Party Plaintiffs In Civil Rights Damage Actions, Robert M. Didrick
Third Party Plaintiffs In Civil Rights Damage Actions, Robert M. Didrick
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will discuss the question of whether third parties may bring an action for damages against those who deprive another of his civil rights. The related question, resulting from the second cause of action in the Napolitano case, of whether one may recover for the mental anguish caused by the denial of another's civil rights will also be considered. Although the question is concerned with damage actions, cases in which injunctive relief was asked are helpful in studying the principle involved. Relief has been granted in these cases much more readily than in damage actions, possibly because the equitable …
Bequests For Religious Services, James T. Brennan
Bequests For Religious Services, James T. Brennan
Cleveland State Law Review
The dedication of property for the saying of Masses or Kaddish atYahrzeit is a charitable use. The funds directed to be employed for these purposes aid the advancement of the Roman Catholic and Jewish religions to the same extent as other gifts to religious organizations of these faiths. In addition, the religious doctrines of these faiths declare that the religious services benefit the entire community and not merely the decedent remembered in the service. Probably, however, it would be best for courts to avoid the theological thicket in deciding whether or not a dedication of property for religious services is …
The Law, The Lawyers, And The Writers, L. Neille Shoemaker
The Law, The Lawyers, And The Writers, L. Neille Shoemaker
Cleveland State Law Review
The great writers have one thing in common-they castigate the human race, including themselves, the frailties of mankind, and his noble institutions. Law and the lawyers have suffered at the hands of the writers. The doctors have suffered even more. Most rulers, if they lived long enough, have been the subject of satire, caricatures, exposure, or castigation. The church and churchmen have also suffered. The principal subject matter of satire over the centuries has been the Church. ... Because of this general emphasis on soiled humanity, the legal profession need not feel alone as it finds itself the subject matter …
The Hospital's New Responsibility, Arthur F. Southwick
The Hospital's New Responsibility, Arthur F. Southwick
Cleveland State Law Review
The focus for this discussion is the hospital as a corporate institution and its liability for injuries caused a patient or visitor. The fundamental question is: What legal duties does the hospital and its personnel owe the patient or the visitor? To attempt an answer to this question one must first have an understanding of the role and nature of a hospital in modern society.
Malone Re-Visited - Definition Of Injury Under The Ohio Workmen's Compensation Act, R. Brooke Alloway
Malone Re-Visited - Definition Of Injury Under The Ohio Workmen's Compensation Act, R. Brooke Alloway
Cleveland State Law Review
Since the adoption of Section 35 of Article II, Constitution of Ohio, the history of the meaning of "injury" has been subject to a tug-of war between the Legislature and the Supreme Court. Twice, in 1937 and in 1959, the Legislature has enacted amendments, both apparently with a view to liberalizing the scope of the term.
Minority Interests In Small Business Entities, John W. Hancock
Minority Interests In Small Business Entities, John W. Hancock
Cleveland State Law Review
While the subject matter of this article calls for the examination of certain aspects of "small business entities," the focus here will be almost exclusively upon partnerships and corporations. Most other types of entities are not particularly advantageous vis-avis corporations and partnerships for the active operation of a commercial or industrial enterprise.
Section 303 Stock Repurchase Vs. Accumulated Earnings Tax, Mel J. Massey Jr.
Section 303 Stock Repurchase Vs. Accumulated Earnings Tax, Mel J. Massey Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
This article looks into the situation in which Section 303 is beign planned for use in a corporation that is over-capitalized. "Under its provisions the stockholder of a closely held corporation can look to the corporation to purchase sufficient shares of his stock in order to permit his executor to pay estate and inheritance taxes, executor's and attorney's fees and funeral expenses. The asset, his stock in the closed corporation, which has chiefly caused this stockholder's estate problem, will be used to solve it."
The Injured Arthritic: His Medico-Legal Rights, Louis J. Gelber
The Injured Arthritic: His Medico-Legal Rights, Louis J. Gelber
Cleveland State Law Review
Plaintiffs in general fare rather poorly in litigation cases when trauma is responsible for the aggravation of their arthritic condition. The inadequate rewards are usually due to the poor presentation of the claimant's case to the judge and jury. The purpose of this paper is to illustrate some of the disabling results that trauma inflicts on victims of arthritis of the spinal column, and to discuss adjudication of these cases, as well as suggested therapy by means of x-rays.
Damages In Wrongful Death Actions, Stanley B. Kent
Damages In Wrongful Death Actions, Stanley B. Kent
Cleveland State Law Review
It is an ancient truth that the tort law is amoral in the sense that the degree of culpability of the defendant, assuming, of course, there is any culpability at all, is not a factor in determining damages. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in wrongful death cases where the jury is admonished to fix damages solely on the basis of the "pecuniary injury" that the survivors suffered as the result of the death.' Although this instruction represents the application to death cases of the compensation theory that is so familiar in ordinary injury cases, it seems almost inhumane in …
Insurance Questions In Voir Dire, Kenneth S. Kabb
Insurance Questions In Voir Dire, Kenneth S. Kabb
Cleveland State Law Review
The scope of this article includes the voir dire examination in the federal courts, primarily in civil cases. The questions to be considered are: (1) how is the voir dire examination to be conducted; (2) what are the limitations imposed on the trial judge, counsel, and the parties with respect to the manner and conduct of the questioning; (3) what is the allowable scope of questions that may be asked prospective jurors; and (4) what will constitute reversible error, and who has the burden of proof.
Mechanical Testimony, David J. Portmann
Mechanical Testimony, David J. Portmann
Cleveland State Law Review
This article deals with the familiar conflict of people versus machines, in considering the legal question of whether a machine can testify against an accused. It is a generally accepted principle that a person's physical appearance and characteristics are admissible in court as evidence for the purpose of identification. There is no general rule, however, which specifies what factors constitute a person's physical characteristics, and a problem arises when the courts must determine whether an accused's self-incrimination privilege is being abridged.
Fair And Reasonable Attorney Fees, Jack Griesmar
Fair And Reasonable Attorney Fees, Jack Griesmar
Cleveland State Law Review
The beginning of each attorney and client relationship places the attorney in a position of having to determine the worth of his service for the particular work required of him, in order that he may do the "job" for this particular client. The attorney has invested a great deal of time and expense in developing his skills in the area of the law. He is given the right to charge for the service which he can render by the state or states in which he is licensed to practice his trade. The question then presents itself: What is a fair …
Franchising As A Device For The Organization, Financing, Control, And Growth Of The Small Business, John Clinton Evans Jr.
Franchising As A Device For The Organization, Financing, Control, And Growth Of The Small Business, John Clinton Evans Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
The franchise system of distribution of goods and services is playing an increasing role in our economy. One marketing authority distinguishes between the product franchise and the franchise of an entire business entity in terms of the role played by each in our complex marketing system of today. Product franchises are given to a few selected dealers in a community, and the distribution of the product is limited to these outlets alone. The other meaning of franchise, as a method of operating an entire business will concern us here.

Expanding Employees' Remedies And Third Party Actions, Robert L. Millender
Expanding Employees' Remedies And Third Party Actions, Robert L. Millender
Cleveland State Law Review
The title of this article is perhaps somewhat misleading. Do third party actions expand employees remedies? Such actions arise out of provisions of our state and federal workmen's compensation laws granting an employer or his insurer the right to sue any person or persons who cause the injury to his employee. Also, third party actions arise under statutes granting the injured employee the right to sue the tort-feasor without loss of recourse against the employer. Third party actions do constitute an expanding remedy for the employer and his insurer; it is generally conceded that without a statutory provision the right …
