Administrative Law—Combination Of Functions: May An Administrative Tribunal Be Both Prosecutor And Judge?—State Ex Rel. Beam V. Fulwiler, 76 Wn.2d 313, 456 P.2d 322 (1969), Anon
Washington Law Review
Respondent Beam was Chief Examiner and Secretary to the Spokane Civil Service Commission. About two years before the instant action, the Commission requested Beam to retire. When he refused, the Commission was instrumental in reducing his pay and in demoting him by creating a position superior to his for another person. Beam successfully brought action to have his duties restored and to set aside the new position created by the Commission. Subsequently, the Commission members investigated Beam's conduct, formed conclusions, promulgated charges, transmitted accusations personally signed by four of the five board members to the City Manager and recommended his …

Washington Law Review
The purpose of this note is to reexamine the practice of wage garnishment in Washington in light of the three major developments in the law since the Empirical Study—the enactment by Congress of the Federal Consumer Credit Protection Act, the enactment by the Washington Legislature of a new garnishment act, and the Supreme Court's decision in Sniadach v.

Group Insurance: Agency Characterization Of The Master Policy-Holder, Stephen K. Eugster
Washington Law Review
One of the major issues in connection with group life insurance is whether the master policy holder, the person who takes out the insurance, is the agent of the insurance company. This comment describes the general characteristics of group insurance and discusses the factors courts consider in finding an agency relationship between the master policyholder and the insurance company. Arguments are presented that the most equitable results are reached when the insurer is held responsible for the acts of the master policyholder under an agency theory.
Freedom To Hear: A Political Justification Of The First Amendment, John M. Steel
Freedom To Hear: A Political Justification Of The First Amendment, John M. Steel
Washington Law Review
Historical analysis of the first amendment reveals that it was adopted primarily to safeguard and promote self-government through the communication of political ideas and attitudes among citizens. The author argues that these political underpinnings support the recognition of a freedom to hear corresponding to the freedoms of speech and press. Implementation of this freedom, recognizing its political basis, would eliminate many infringements on activity the Framers intended to protect. A freedom to hear would also provide a useful analytic tool in alleviating much of the repressive influence on political activity exerted by the private sector.
