Imprisonment Of Indigent Defendants For Nonpayment Of Fines
Imprisonment Of Indigent Defendants For Nonpayment Of Fines
University of Richmond Law Review
The use of fines as a criminal sanction has been a part of Anglo-American law for over six hundred years. From the inception of this penalty, however, law making bodies have had to deal with the convicted criminal who fails or refuses to pay the fine imposed upon him. The early non-paying offender faced being sold into slavery unless the necessary funds could be produced by family or friends. From such early remedies for default our present more civilized alternative of imprisonment arose.

Uniform Commercial Code- Breach Of Warranty- Applicable Statute Of Limitations For Personal Injury
University of Richmond Law Review
Statutes of limitation are statutes of repose, the object of which is to compel the exercise of a right of action within a reasonable time.

Damages Recoverable For Wrongful Death, Stuart L. Craig
University of Richmond Law Review
The Virginia Legislature at the 1968 session of the General Assembly amended Section 8-636 of the Code of Virginia and thereby altered drastically both the amount and the method of distribution of damages recoverable under Virginia's Wrongful Death Act.' Only the section dealing with damages and the distribution thereof was altered, but the amendment changed substantially those entitled to an award of damages for financial or pecuniary loss and the conditions prerequisite to recovery for such loss.
The Erosion Of Lex Loci Delicti: Toward A More Rational Choice Of Tort Law
The Erosion Of Lex Loci Delicti: Toward A More Rational Choice Of Tort Law
University of Richmond Law Review
Man is a gregarious animal. As such, he has historically sought the company of other men. He has organized his world into innumerable units-each with its own boundaries, each with its own laws. Once, when immobility and relative isolation characterized his existence, few legal complications arose from the policy differences that had been translated into the laws of his governments. His choice of law rules were relatively simple, predictable, and rigid. But as technology made Cairo as accessible as California-made international communication almost as practical as local conversation-the consequences of human interaction involved in- creasing interstate and international elements.
Liability For Transfusions Of Hepatitis Infected Blood
Liability For Transfusions Of Hepatitis Infected Blood
University of Richmond Law Review
Legal resolution of the liability of a supplier of a useful and desirable product which, in the present state of human skill and knowledge, is unavoidably and necessarily dangerous to the user is fraught with difficulty. A major portion of the law in this area revolves around cases of hepatitis resulting from blood transfusions. The crucial problem encountered is the nondetectibility of the hepatitis virus in the blood donor. Even though no specific viral detection test has been perfected which can be applied practically to blood banking or plasma pooling, recent observations hold promise for a more accurate method of …
