Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien
Education In Professional Responsibility, David B. Goshien
Cleveland State Law Review
The problems, indeed the inadequacy of present legal education in ethics and professional responsibility are well known. The traditional methods of preparing law students for the avoidance of ethical and even criminal complaints against them in their future practice of law have been, in the main, divisible into two general categories: the "pervasive" method, through which understanding is supposed to be gained by students as if by osmosis through all courses and general law school contract, and the "specific" method which offers a course in the subject. Both methods are commonly used but neither seems to have achieved an acceptable …

The author reviews The Nominalistic Principle by Eliyahu Hirschberg, which examines changes in the value of money caused by inflation, deflation, devaluation, and revaluation.
Prison Disciplinary Procedures: Creating Rules, Jonathan Brant
Prison Disciplinary Procedures: Creating Rules, Jonathan Brant
Cleveland State Law Review
In addition to a lack of interest by the courts, prison officials received little direction from state legislatures. The general statutory provisions grant board powers to a designated member of the executive branch with no apparent restrictions on exercise of that power. The rules developed by prison officials have often been themselves worded vaguely giving inmates little idea of conduct which is expected of them.
Banishment From The Kingdom Of Lake (County), Nelson G. Karl
Banishment From The Kingdom Of Lake (County), Nelson G. Karl
Cleveland State Law Review
On the 19th day of May, 1971, the Supreme Court of Ohio denied habeas corpus relief to Michael Edsall, a fourteen year old boy who had been banished from Lake County, Ohio. In denying habeas corpus relief to Mike Edsall, the Ohio Supreme Court concluded that the Juvenile Court had jurisdiction over both the person of Mike Edsall and the subject matter, and that an appeal from the decision would have been the appropriate means by which the order of the Juvenile Court could be reviewed. But in so doing, the Supreme Court avoided dealing with the substantive issue of …
Nonprofit Unincorporated Associations, Howard L. Oleck
Nonprofit Unincorporated Associations, Howard L. Oleck
Cleveland State Law Review
Western civilization has been (and is) characterized by voluntary associations of people, from the earliest warrior bands and "churches" to towns and universities and guilds, etc. Corporations, as vehicles for such associations, did not exist until relatively recently, and associations were (and very many still are) unincorporated. Unincorporated associations as a form of organization have been losing ground to the corporation, but are far from obsolete
Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus
Minimum Fee Schedules: Guides Or Strait Jackets, Robert L. Simmons, Gary N. Holthus
Cleveland State Law Review
Several states have minimum fee schedules that set the least amount of compensation a lawyer should charge for a specific legal service. There has been much confusion in bar associations across the country as to the application of minimum fee schedules and the consequences of non-compliance. The American Bar Association has published both formal and informal opinions in an attempt to clearly define the functions of the schedules. In view of the opinions, interviews and statistical studies on the subject of minimum fee schedules, it is apparent that they are too rigid to cope with the practical needs of the …
Hospital Liability: Implications Of Recent Physician's Assistant Statutes, Daniel W. Coyne
Hospital Liability: Implications Of Recent Physician's Assistant Statutes, Daniel W. Coyne
Cleveland State Law Review
New methods must be devised to increase the efficient use of the available supply of physicians. "Among the innovations being tried with physicians is the development of new disciplines involving assistants to physicians." Increasing utilization of returning medics from the armed forces is being undertaken to help relieve the civilian manpower shortage. The legal implications of these developments range from problems of licensure to considerations of vicarious liability for an assistant's negligence (malpractice) or for the negligence of the assistant's supervising physician. It is with a species of this latter problem that this paper will be concerned. But one ought …
Billboard Regulations, And Aesthetics, Richard Sutton
Billboard Regulations, And Aesthetics, Richard Sutton
Cleveland State Law Review
The regulation of outdoor advertising has prompted a surprisingly prodigious amount of controversy and litigation. It has been challenged as a denial of free speech, due process, and equal protection; it has been upheld on nuisance4 and real property grounds, and sustained on the basis of public health, safety, morality, comfort and convenience, aesthetics, and the right to be let alone."
Qui Tam Actions For Citizen Enforcement Of The Refuse Act Of 1899 Against Polluters, J. S. Ott
Qui Tam Actions For Citizen Enforcement Of The Refuse Act Of 1899 Against Polluters, J. S. Ott
Cleveland State Law Review
It may be possible for private citizens to enforce the Refuse Act of 1899 when prosecutors refuse to act. This is possible, proponents suggest, by applying the ancient theory of qui tam to criminal sanctions in the Refuse Act. So far, the scheme has met with no reported judicial approval. ...The court again recognized in 1943 that "qui tam suits have been frequently permitted by legislative action . . . ."" A number of Federal statutes authorize qui tam action by the common informer.12 As late as 1970, the Hudson River Fisherman's Association was granted $2,000, under the 1899 Rivers …
Constitutional Mandate Of Lex In Foro Loci Delicti, Maurice R. Franks
Constitutional Mandate Of Lex In Foro Loci Delicti, Maurice R. Franks
Cleveland State Law Review
It is the writer's hypothesis that a state is constitutionally required to apply its own law to a travel tort which has occurred within its territorial jurisdiction and which is sued upon in its courts. In other words, the interest analysis test - application of the law of the state having the strongest interest in a particular issue - may not be used in foro loci delicti (in the forum of the place of the tort).
Nonprofit Corporations - A Survey Of Recent Cases, Lizabeth A. Moody
Nonprofit Corporations - A Survey Of Recent Cases, Lizabeth A. Moody
Cleveland State Law Review
The relatively few persons who write or teach in the field of nonprofit organizations are chronic complainers about the lack of case law in the area. The sparseness of authority leaves practitioners without adequate guidelines with which to advise clients, and leaves academicians without visible trends on which to develop theories.
Speedy Trial - No Mere Ceremonial, Robert B. Henn
Speedy Trial - No Mere Ceremonial, Robert B. Henn
Cleveland State Law Review
In recent years, there has been a progressive refinement of individual rights, to the extent that due process must be accorded to the participant in not only judicial proceedings, but administrative actions as well. Yet, in the face of this, the anomaly exists that one highly important individual right, clearly defined by the Speedy-Trial Clause of the Sixth Amendment, is persistently abused by courts who adhere to overly strict, and demonstrably improper, interpretations of its requirements, and by prosecutors who seem to feel that a prompt determination of the innocence or guilt of the accused is a matter of grace, …

Book Review, Everett A. Chandler
Cleveland State Law Review
The author reviews Education in the Professional Responsibilities of the Lawyer by Donald T. Weckstein. He especially highlights the different teaching methods the text suggests to use to instruct law students on the topic of professional responsibility, such as the traditional and pervasive methods.
Aged Or Disabled Physicians, Peter P. Zawaly Jr.
Aged Or Disabled Physicians, Peter P. Zawaly Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
This article will not concern itself, per se, with the recently much written about subject of medical professional liability. "The concept of professional liability should never be equated with the concept of incompetence", for the former is a malperformance at a given time, whereas the latter is the lack of ability to perform at all. Those illnesses, whereby a physician is rendered incompetent, that will be treated in the following text with particular attention, are senility, drug addiction, and alcoholism. Once establishing the scope of the problem, a brief examination of the disciplinary measures available within the profession and their …
Non-Profit Corporations' Names, Sheila M. Kahoe
Non-Profit Corporations' Names, Sheila M. Kahoe
Cleveland State Law Review
A non-profit organization , like its counterpart, the profit-seeking corporation, must have a name if it is to exist as a legal entity. Most states impose statutory restrictions on the selection of a name, with little or no distinction between the rules governing the business corporation and the non-profit corporation. For example, in Ohio the two sections of the Revised Code relating to corporate names are virtually identical. The Ohio statute serves to illustrate the policy reasons for the state's policing of the selection of a corporate name. Two important considerations are set forth in the statute: first, that the …

Suability Of School Boards And School Board Members, Anne S. Mcfarland
Suability Of School Boards And School Board Members, Anne S. Mcfarland
Cleveland State Law Review
In the past three years, suits under 42 United States Code §1983 against school boards and school board members have burgeoned. Suits have been brought by teachers involved in union activity, by teachers who allege nonrenewal of contracts due to racial discrimination, by pupils who challenge hair and dress regulations, by unwed mothers who seek readmission to school, and by militant students who claim the right to practice-teach
Sovereign Immunity Abrogated In Ohio: Krause V. State, James B. Wilkens
Sovereign Immunity Abrogated In Ohio: Krause V. State, James B. Wilkens
Cleveland State Law Review
The decision thus promulgates three principal rulings: (1) that sovereign immunity does not provide a bar to bringing an action against the State of Ohio, (2) that the state is liable by virtue of the doctrine of respondeat superior for the authorized activities of its officers, employees and other agents, and (3) that freedom of individual agents from civil liability arising out of authorized activities for the state is retained. The effects of these rulings are far from obvious, in large part because of the confused prior state of the law upon which they are engrafted. Furthermore, the grounds given …
Book Review, Salvatore J. Lopresti

Cleveland State Law Review
This entry focuses on the text Law and the School Superintendent. The book offers examples for lay readers of how to deal with issues like collective bargaining, discrimination, and free speech in schools.
Miranda Warnings In Other Than Police Custodial Interrogations, Marvin E. Sable
Miranda Warnings In Other Than Police Custodial Interrogations, Marvin E. Sable
Cleveland State Law Review
The court, in Miranda, was quick to point out, however, that the decision in that case did not suppose to vitiate the confession as a tool of law enforcement officers in ferretting out criminals. Likewise, volunteered statements of any kind were specifically exempted from the exclusionary rule that was applied to Miranda-type admissions only. Much of the progeny of Miranda addressed itself to just such types of admissions. Oftentimes, the courts dissected the seemingly unitized custodial interrogation requirement of Miranda by turning their decisions of its inapplicability upon the absence of either the "custody" or the "interrogation" aspect
Preserving Objections To In Personam Jurisdiction - Ohio's Persistent Shibboleth, J. Patrick Browne
Preserving Objections To In Personam Jurisdiction - Ohio's Persistent Shibboleth, J. Patrick Browne
Cleveland State Law Review
The scenario is commonplace: Plaintiff causes summons to be served on the defendant. The defendant believes the summons is fatally defective, or the service is faulty, or that, for some reason or another, the court in which the action is brought cannot lawfully obtain jurisdiction over his person. Accordingly, he files a motion to quash and set aside the summons, or a motion to dismiss for want of in personam jurisdiction. As so frequently happens, the court does not quite see the wisdom of defendant's position, and overrules the motion. Usually, the court's journal entry will note that the defendant's …
Visitors' Refusal To Leave Premises, Joseph Gibson
Visitors' Refusal To Leave Premises, Joseph Gibson
Cleveland State Law Review
Many factors have been blamed for this new, brazen attitude of remaining on another's property. Some fault the Supreme Court's rulings in Brown v. Louisiana, where court conviction of sit-in demonstrators at a public library, was reversed by holding that the conviction was a violation of the fourteenth amendment rights, and Cox v. Louisiana' where the Court decided that a state statute which regulated picketing was improper because of the discretion which it gave to local officials. Others lay the blame on a more permissive society which is breeding contempt for the power structure. The most logical explanation is a …
Occupational Safety And Health Act Of 1970, Lee Hornberger
Occupational Safety And Health Act Of 1970, Lee Hornberger
Cleveland State Law Review
More than fourteen thousand workers died as a result of occupationally related accidents in 1970. This is more than died in Vietnam during the same period. During the 1960's, more than 150,000 Americans died under similar conditions. This was in spite of occupational safety and health legislation in most of the states. Federal safety legislation in limited areas had failed to stem the fatal tide in even those limited areas. It had become apparent that unless a new comprehensive approach was used the worksite would become even more deadly than the battlefield. The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 …
Short Tendering Rule In The Sale Of Securities, Larry A. Oday
Short Tendering Rule In The Sale Of Securities, Larry A. Oday
Cleveland State Law Review
Rule 10b-4 of The Securities and Exchange Commission, also known as "the short tendering rule," might be described as one of the best kept secrets in securities regulation. Although it has been in effect for more than three years, very few attorneys or brokers know anything about it or have even heard of it.
Serrano: Its Progeny And Its Prophecy, James T. Flaherty
Serrano: Its Progeny And Its Prophecy, James T. Flaherty
Cleveland State Law Review
No court decision since the Brown' decrees of 1954 have had such a devastating effect on the educational status quo as has the California STATE AID PROPERTY Tax decision of Serran and its progeny. Here, the California Supreme Court declared that unequal financing of public schools, based primarily on the local property tax, is a violation of the equal protection clause in that it "invidiously discriminates" against the poor.
Legal Nature Of Parliamentary Procedure, John Waldeck
Legal Nature Of Parliamentary Procedure, John Waldeck
Cleveland State Law Review
Parliamentary procedure is law. Its origins are found in the English and American legislatures and it was adopted by the nonlegislative assemblies in this country for ordering the conduct of meetings and the making of decisions. ...The law has been projected into parts of parliamentary procedure by case and code law but it has been ignored in the broad field. Most laymen have conversely ignored the law and proceeded to write and publish with no regard to the legal aspects. It is in this area, between the lawyers and the laymen, that a blind spot has developed in the law. …
Motives Of Non-Profit Organizations And The Antitrust Laws, Frank J. Nawalanic
Motives Of Non-Profit Organizations And The Antitrust Laws, Frank J. Nawalanic
Cleveland State Law Review
Non-profit status has traditionally been delegated and regulated by state law. It is becoming increasingly clear that state law is expanding the types of organization allowed non-profit status, thus inviting more abuses of the status to exist. This is exemplified by New York's "Not-For-Profit Corporation Law" and recent indications by Pennsylvania and California legislators of their contemplation of enacting similar statutes. It is with this understanding that the applicability of the antitrust laws to non-profit corporations will be considered.
Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut
Contingent Fee: Champerty Or Champion, Arthur L. Kraut
Cleveland State Law Review
In 1952, an article appeared in Reader's Digest magazine castigating both the contingent fee system of financing litigation and the trial lawyers of the United States. Since that article appeared, the client public has been barraged with a stream of propaganda aimed at barring the use of the contingent fee as a means of retaining a lawyer.
Book Review, Ann Aldrich
