Right To Hearing Upon Extension Of Probation

University of Richmond Law Review

Aside from the fact that its use was originally limited and random in nature, the historical origin of the probation process is uncertain. Revolutionary changes in the theories controlling the treatment of convicted criminals, however, has resulted in the development of probation into the most widely used form of correctional treatment.

From The Editors

University of Richmond Law Review

This issue of the Review is dedicated to the memory of "Mr. B," professor, administrator, and friend of the law school for 50 years. This year's class was the first in half a century to explore the in- tricacies of property, wills and sales without the benefit of his socratic guidance. Though we did not know him as a professor or administrator, we knew him as a friend, and as an institution whose memory serves as an inspiration to those who would conscientiously undertake the study of the law.


Deferred Compensation Under The Tax Reform Act Of 1969, David R. Goode Jan 1971

Deferred Compensation Under The Tax Reform Act Of 1969, David R. Goode

University of Richmond Law Review

Executive compensation covers a broad range of benefits, including current cash payments, stock bonuses and options in their various forms, qualified pension plans, life insurance and even such fringe benefits as use of company provided automobiles and aircraft. A significant portion of the compensation picture encompasses contracts and plans which defer the receipt of income until a taxable period later than the period to which the services giving rise to the compensation are related. Although only one of many compensation devices, deferred compensation is of considerable importance to American industry as a form of executive pay. A recent study of …


Damages Recoverable For Wrongful Death, Stuart L. Craig Jan 1971

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.


Economic Development Of Indian Lands, Roger L. Tuttle Jan 1971

Economic Development Of Indian Lands, Roger L. Tuttle

University of Richmond Law Review

If anything be true of the United States in the second half of the Twentieth Century, it is the rise of humanism and social consciousness on the part of most Americans. The near-universal test applied today to one's personal or group relationships is whether justice is served. The salient examples of the fruit of this concern are the achievements which have been made toward bringing "first class citizenship" to the Negro-American through school desegregation, establishment of uniform nondiscriminatory voting requirements, abolition of separate rest rooms and waiting rooms, and the opening of housing and transportation facilities equally to all. The …


The Erosion Of Lex Loci Delicti: Toward A More Rational Choice Of Tort Law Jan 1971

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 Jan 1971

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 …


One Man-One Vote In The Selection Of Presidential Nominating Delegates By State Party Conventions Jan 1971

One Man-One Vote In The Selection Of Presidential Nominating Delegates By State Party Conventions

University of Richmond Law Review

If any conclusion can safely be drawn from the presidential nominating conventions of 1968, it is that the success of potential third party movements looms as a substantial threat to the traditional two party system in the United States. To a large degree, this fact may be attributed to the lack of balanced voter participation inherent in the nominating processes now employed by the two major parties. This lack of participation has engendered a sense of futility in the minds of the individual party members, causing them to limit their support for the slate of candidates their party ultimately chooses.
