Survey Of Abortion Reform Legislation, Anon
Survey Of Abortion Reform Legislation, Anon
Washington Law Review
Abortion statutes seek two ends: 1) a definition of the crime of abortion and 2) the creation of a procedure for implementing the statute definition. Definition is accomplished by declaring purposeful miscarriage unlawful except in certain generalized situations. The procedure then designates who determines when an excepting situation exists. Therefore, the decision to terminate a pregnancy raises two issues—who shall make the decision and on what bases. This note will examine the impact of recent abortion reform legislation on these issues

Criminal Insanity, Arval A. Morris
Criminal Insanity, Arval A. Morris
Washington Law Review
Mental capacity becomes relevant to the criminal law as soon as a peace officer apprehends a person who has committed an anti-social act. Policemen, and later prosecutors, must decide whether the offender is "well" (sane), responsible for his acts, and the proper subject of criminal proceedings or whether he is "sick" (insane), not responsible for his acts, and the proper subject of civil commitment or similar process. These are threshhold questions in criminal law enforcement. If criminal processes are used, then the trial stage presents twin questions: whether an accused is capable of standing trial, and whether he was insane …
Wrongful Death Of A Minor Child: The Changing Parental Injury, Anon
Wrongful Death Of A Minor Child: The Changing Parental Injury, Anon
Washington Law Review
In Washington, an action may be brought by a parent for the wrongful death of a child along either of two statutory avenues. The general wrongful death statute creates a right of action in the decedent's personal representative for the benefit of parents who may be dependent upon the deceased for support. Under the so-called "child-death" statute, an action may be maintained directly by a parent. No requirement of dependency obtains where the deceased was a minor.

Regulation Of Treaty Indian Fishing, Anon
Regulation Of Treaty Indian Fishing, Anon
Washington Law Review
On December 26, 1854, the Treaty of Medicine Creek was concluded between the United States and nine western Washington Indian tribes. The Indians ceded to the United States all rights in a large portion of their tribal lands, but reserved the "right of taking fish, at all usual and accustomed grounds and stations ... in common with all citizens of the Territory." Whatever the representatives of the United States or the Indian chiefs meant by this clause has been lost in antiquity. It is certain that they could not have foreseen the acrimony or the legal battles that it would …
