Rule 3, The Enabling Act, And Statutes Of Limitations, David A. Dittfurth
Rule 3, The Enabling Act, And Statutes Of Limitations, David A. Dittfurth
Faculty Articles
Rule 3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure appears to be a model of simplicity and clarity. It describes the process for commencement of a civil action, and in defining “commencement” appears to provide guidance on how to begin an action which complies with a statute of limitations.
As a result of the decision in Walker v. Armco Steel Corp., that appearance is misleading regarding state statutes of limitations applicable in federal court actions brought on the basis of diversity of citizenship jurisdiction. There, the Court made reference only to state statutes of limitations, and expressly avoided deciding the …
The Younger Abstention: Primary State Jurisdiction Over Law Enforcement, David A. Dittfurth
The Younger Abstention: Primary State Jurisdiction Over Law Enforcement, David A. Dittfurth
Faculty Articles
The abstention doctrines have received much attention by the United States Supreme Court over the last decade. These doctrines are represented by judicial rules that require federal trial courts, in appropriate circumstances, to abstain from exercising subject matter jurisdiction although they clearly have the power to do so. As a result, the particular case is shunted back into a state judicial system for determination.
The most confusing of these doctrines is the one arising in major part from Younger v. Harris. In short, this case stands for the rule that, once a state criminal prosecution has been initiated, a federal …
Unequal Justice: Lawyers And Social Change In Modern America, By Jerold S. Auerbach (Book Review), David A. Dittfurth
Unequal Justice: Lawyers And Social Change In Modern America, By Jerold S. Auerbach (Book Review), David A. Dittfurth
Faculty Articles
In Unequal Justice, Jerold S. Auerbach attempts to prove that the legal profession has failed to adequately pursue equality of justice. He finds little evidence that the legal profession or its dominant factions have made an adequate effort to assure the provision of legal services according to need. On the contrary, most of the historical evidence presented in this book leads one to believe that the legal profession has accepted profit as its real goal.
The author contends that, because the legal profession is responsible for formulating and applying law in a very legalistic society, it serves a very important …
Judicial Reasoning And Social Change, David A. Dittfurth
Judicial Reasoning And Social Change, David A. Dittfurth
Faculty Articles
Some have begun to doubt whether courts adequately respond to recent social problems. Formulated rules, principles, and statutes govern a case in court, and these commanding communications addressed to judges theoretically guide and control the decision-making process. Rules, although often imprecise, are subjected to the scrutiny of the legal profession, which is trained to interpret their meaning and possible application in different fact situations. This, in turn, promotes a high degree of social and political stability since there is less ambiguity as to what constitutes permissible or required behavior.
Attitudes, social institutions, language, and critical decision making are all factors …
