Liability Of The United States For Maritime Torts, Walkley E. Johnson Jr.
Liability Of The United States For Maritime Torts, Walkley E. Johnson Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The United States Government owns and operates by far the largest fleet in the Americas. It is a fleet which includes not only the high profile carriers, cruisers and destroyers but a miscellany of tugs, barges, tankers, frigates, car floats and lighters. It includes cargo vessels as well as warships. Thus, the potential for the commission of maritime torts is manifest simply from the number and variety of government vessels at sea. Add the myriad responsibilities exercised by Government agencies such as the United States Coast Guard, and the potential for tortious involvement is enormous.

This Act makes major changes in the law of warranties and places much heavier legal burdens upon manufacturers and other warrantors. This comment will attempt to …
Tort Law-Interspousal Immunity-Action For Wrongful Death Against Surviving Spouse Held Maintainable When Such Act Terminates Marriage And Neither Child Nor Grandchild Survives Decedent
University of Richmond Law Review
The doctrine of interspousal immunity, established at early common law, considers husband and wife legally one. Under this view of unity, each spouse is precluded procedurally as well as substantively from suing the other in tort. To ameliorate the harshness of this view, the Married Women's Acts or Emancipation Acts were promulgated beginning in 1844. Although these statutes removed some of the disabilities of coverture from women in all of the fifty states, the majority of the statutes, including Virginia's, did not grant one spouse the right to sue the other for a personal tort. As early as 1888, the …

The Class Action And Title Vii- An Overview
University of Richmond Law Review
The class action device and Title VII enforcement go hand in hand. In a proper case, a suit alleging a violation of Title VII is by nature a class action since it attempts to remedy the effects of employment discrimination on the basis of a class characteristic. As in any other case, however, a class action is permitted only if the requirements of Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are met. Before certifying an action as a class action' the court must determine that (1) the class is so numerous that joinder of its members is impracticable …
