The Law Whose Life Is Not Logic: Evidence Of Other Crimes In Criminal Cases, James W. Payne Jr. Jan 1968

The Law Whose Life Is Not Logic: Evidence Of Other Crimes In Criminal Cases, James W. Payne Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

It is not the intention of the author to concentrate on generalizations in this article, but an introductory comment of a general character on this topic seems unavoidable. Assume that D is on trial for the rape of his fourteen-year-old daughter. He elects not to take the witness stand, claiming this right under the Fifth Amendment. (a) Could W, an older daughter, testify that D raped her several times when she was fourteen years old? (b) Could the prosecutor introduce evidence of a conviction of D for raping W when she was fourteen years old-i.e., would the foregoing offer of …


Foreword Jan 1968

Foreword

University of Richmond Law Review

This first issue of the University of Richmond Law Review replaces the Law Notes, which began as a faculty publication over a decade ago. It may well be presumptuous for the present editorial board to suggest that the T. C. Williams School of Law has come of age as a result of the publication of a single issue of the Law Review, but the attitude of the student body in general supports that observation. This new venture was born of the hard work and persistence of many students over the past years as well as a few faculty members, particularly …


Basic Protection And The Future Of Negligence Law, Robert E. Keeton Jan 1968

Basic Protection And The Future Of Negligence Law, Robert E. Keeton

University of Richmond Law Review

Coming to full flower only in the nineteenth century,' negligence law is still a tender young plant among the hardy redwoods of legal history. Yet the jeopardy in which it stands is due not to its youth but to its aging inflexibility-to its failure to adapt to the era of the automobile. This is not to say that its end is at hand. Rather, a future of some kind for negligence law seems assured. The questions in doubt are what kind and for how long. The surest way of causing it to be inglorious and brief is to continue to …


Erosion Of The Hearsay Rule Jan 1968

Erosion Of The Hearsay Rule

University of Richmond Law Review

Over a quarter of a century ago, the consensus among evidence scholars was that the rules of evidence were in need of thorough reform. Case law had become so confusing and contradictory that the American Law Institute regarded a straightforward restatement of the law of evidence as a practical impossibility. Instead that body decided upon a new proposal which might readily be adopted by the states as a comprehensive set of evidence rules. Its aim was a more sensible and simple guide for trial judge and attorney than the existing rules. Leading scholars and jurists collaborated to produce a Model …


Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon Jan 1968

Self-Regulation-Panacea Or Pitfall?, William D. Dixon

University of Richmond Law Review

Several recently announced Federal Trade Commission advisory opinions have revived anew the controversy surrounding what a businessman can and cannot do in the area of self-regulation. The reasons for the existence of the controversy can be readily understood, for on the one hand businessmen are being constantly urged by those within the federal government to clean their own houses before the Government is forced to do the job for them, and yet on the other they are faced with the specter of an antitrust prosecution if they do anything toward that end which they feel will be in any way …
