Revenue Procedure 60-18—New Techniques For The Early Consideration And Disposition Of Tax Court Cases, Melvin L. Sears
Washington Law Review
With the promulgation of Revenue Procedure 60-18 (published in IRB No. 1960-37, p. 61), the Internal Revenue Service has again instituted a procedure for the benefit of the taxpayers, the tax Bar, the Tax Court and the Service. The effective operation of this new procedure undoubtedly will prove to be of substantial benefit to all parties concerned by securing a fair and expeditious disposition, either by settlement or trial, of tax controversies before the Tax Court.
Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas, Marjorie Dick Rombauer
Debtors' Exemption Statutes—Revision Ideas, Marjorie Dick Rombauer
Washington Law Review
This article delineates the purposes which exemption laws should serve and surveys ways in which a comprehensive revision of the Washington statutes can more equitably (both as to debtors and creditors) effectuate these purposes. The discussion is far from exhaustive of the many provisions which might be considered in a revision of the debtor exemption area. It is intended only as a starting point for the thinking of attorneys.

The End Of An Experiment In Federalism—A Note On Mapp V. Ohio, Arval Morris
The End Of An Experiment In Federalism—A Note On Mapp V. Ohio, Arval Morris
Washington Law Review
When one views the full panoply of constitutional rights from the perspective of total United States Supreme Court history, he soon becomes aware that relatively few cases have directed that Court's attention to the constitutional immunity from unreasonable searches and seizures. However, the right expressed by the fourth amendment is obviously one of the most fundamental' for it gives legal protection to the "right of a man to privacy in his home, a right which is one of the indispensable ultimate essentials of our concept of civilization." Since this right is "basic to a free society"' and "implicit in the …
Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell
Washington Consumer Protection Act—Enforcement Provisions And Policies, John J. O'Connell
Washington Law Review
With the enactment of the Washington Consumer Protection Act, the Washington attorney will be meeting for the first time a comprehensive "antitrust" act designed to operate on the local or "intra-state" level. Because this act is, for the most part, unprecedented in this state, and because it involves, in addition to most of the complexities of federal antitrust law, a few novel features of its own, some sort of introduction to its provisions might be helpful to members of the Washington bar. There appears elsewhere in this issue an examination of the substantive provisions of this new law; my observations …

Torts: Abolition Of Sovereign Immunity In Washington, John W. Richards
Torts: Abolition Of Sovereign Immunity In Washington, John W. Richards
Washington Law Review
The legislature has apparently abolished the operation of the ancient doctrine of sovereign immunity in Washington with a recently enacted statute. This abolition may be partial, however, and its full effect cannot be predicted with certainty. Much of this uncertainty is caused by the history of sovereign immunity, both in the State of Washington and elsewhere.

Washington Legislation—1961; Antitrust: The Washington Antitrust Laws, Julian C. Dewell, Wayne Gittinger
Washington Law Review
The following articles, the work of the faculty of the School of Law, the Attorney General, two members of the Washington Bar and a student, constitute the first academic comment on the laws of 1961. For obvious reasons, these articles are not represented to the reader as a complete survey of the legislative session. Rather, they are a compilation of comments on acts which the writers have found to be important, timely, or merely interesting. The Antitrust section considers the Consumer Protection Act of 1961 and its impact on Washington antitrust law.
