Report On Clients' Indemnity Fund, Hilton Gardner
Report On Clients' Indemnity Fund, Hilton Gardner
Washington Law Review
Some years ago the American Bar Association started a study of clients' security funds and appointed a committee known as the Committee on Clients and Security Funds. This committee of the State of Washington had frequently been asked just what is such a fund. Now a clients' security fund is a fund voluntarily established by the bar association for the purpose of reimbursing clients in those few instances in which a lawyer, while the attorney-client relationship existed, has misappropriated his clients' funds. The American Bar Association committee recommended the establishment of such funds by both state and local bar associations.

Confessions And Criminal Procedure—A Proposal, George Neff Stevens
Washington Law Review
The time has come to review in the light of United States Supreme Court decisions the procedures presently employed by state courts in testing the voluntariness of confessions in criminal cases. If these procedures be wanting, new procedures should be and must be devised which will give promise of assuring compliance with the standards established by these United States Supreme Court decisions.

Double Jeopardy And Dual Sovereignty, James M. Feeley
Washington Law Review
This Comment has been prompted by two recent United States Supreme Court decisions, Bartkus v. Illinois, and Abbate v. United States. In the former decision Bartkus, the defendant, was tried in the Federal District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on December 18, 1953, for the robbery of a federally insured savings and loan association of Cicero, Illinois, in violation of a federal statute. There was a jury trial and Bartkus was acquitted. Then on January 8, 1954, Bartkus was indicted by an Illinois grand jury charging a violation of a state robbery statute. This time Bartkus was convicted, …

The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover
The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover
Washington Law Review
In Curtis Bros., Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) first enunciated the rule that picketing for recognition by a union representing a minority of the employees was an unfair labor practice because it violated section 8(b) (1) (A) of the National Labor Relations Act. The doctrine has never had the full support of all Board members. Moreover the initial reaction of the reviewing courts to this ruling has been unfavorable. The Curtis doctrine has been entirely rejected by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, upon review of the Board's decision of the case, and partially rejected by one …

The following articles, the work of the faculty of the School of Law and a member of the Washington Bar, constitute the first academic comment on the laws of 1959.

Search And Seizure—Due Process Of Law—Municipal Health Inspections—Frank V. Maryland, 79 Sup. Ct. 804 (1959), William B. Stoebuck
Washington Law Review
Answering a complaint, an inspector from the Baltimore health department searched defendant's neighborhood. After finding evidence behind defendant's home that suggested rats were inside, the inspector requested entry of defendant, which was refused. The inspector left and returned the next day for further exterior examination of the home but, not finding defendant there, again made no entry. Within a few days defendant was arrested, tried by a magistrate, convicted, and fined twenty dollars for violation of a Baltimore health ordinance requiring householders to admit health inspectors. The Baltimore Criminal Court affirmed the conviction, the Maryland Supreme Court denied certiorari, and …
Right To Jury Trial In Washington—Present And Future, Philip A. Trautman
Right To Jury Trial In Washington—Present And Future, Philip A. Trautman
Washington Law Review
A perennial problem confronting the attorney preparing for trial is whether his client has a right to a jury. In many, probably most, instances a trial to the court will be desired by all parties concerned. This may be because of the fear of prejudice on the part of a jury, or the desire for a more speedy trial before the judge, or the object of cutting expenses, or any of the other innumerable factors to be weighed in determining whether judge or jury is best for one's particular case. In other instances the sole question at issue will be …

"The Place Of The Wrong": Torts And The Conflict Of Laws, George W. Stumberg
"The Place Of The Wrong": Torts And The Conflict Of Laws, George W. Stumberg
Washington Law Review
In an article published in 1951, a well-known English authority on conflict of laws remarked, "To a foreign observer, it seems extraordinary that there should be so much uncertainty in the United States as to what law governs the validity of a contract, and so much uncritical acceptance of the rule that tort liability is governed by the law of the place of wrong."' The writer was referring, of course, to the rule embodied in the Restatement of Conflict of Laws, according to which the place of the wrong is that place where the tortious conduct of the defendant has …

Traffic Victims—Tort Law And Insurance, By Leon Green (1958), Cornelius J. Peck
Washington Law Review
In a book which has already received much comment and surely will receive more, one of America's leading authorities on the law of torts has reviewed the historic development of principles for determining liability and explored the inadequacies of the existing legal system for distributing the enormous losses caused by modern traffic. The conclusion he reaches is that a system of compulsory liability insurance must be substituted for present-day negligence law. He then sets out the basic features of such a system.
