Government Responsibility For Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Government Responsibility For Constitutional Torts, Christina B. Whitman
Articles
This essay is about the language used to decide when governments should be held responsible for constitutional torts.' Debate about what is required of government officials, and what is required of government itself, is scarcely new. What is new, at least to American jurisprudence, is litigation against government units (rather than government officials) for constitutional injuries. 2 The extension of liability to institutional defendants introduces special problems for the language of responsibility. In a suit against an individual official it is easy to describe the wrong as the consequence of individual behavior that is inconsistent with community norms; the language …
Abusing The Patient: Medicare Fraud And Abuse And Hospital-Physician Incentive Plans, Kathryn A. Krecke
Abusing The Patient: Medicare Fraud And Abuse And Hospital-Physician Incentive Plans, Kathryn A. Krecke
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Part I provides a background discussion of the PPS, DRGs, and incentive plans. Part II focuses on the fraud and abuse provisions of the Medicare statute and argues that incentive plans violate the plain language · of the statute, which prohibits any knowing and willful remuneration for the inducement of referrals. Part III concentrates on the fraudulent and abusive practices that incentive plans encourage. The plans frustrate legislative intent because they encourage practices that subvert the cost-containment purposes of the PPS and have an adverse effect on patient care.

The Past And Future Of Constitutional Torts: From Statutory Interpretation To Common Law Rules, Michael L. Wells
The Past And Future Of Constitutional Torts: From Statutory Interpretation To Common Law Rules, Michael L. Wells
Scholarly Works
The cause of action for damages to redress violations of constitutional rights is now firmly established in our law. As recently as 1960, such constitutional tort suits were rare and attracted little attention from scholars. Today, they are a major part of the work of the federal courts and the academic literature is constantly growing. This change can be partly attributed to the expansion of constitutional rights in the 1960s and 1970s, and partly to the 1961 case of Monroe v. Pape. In Monroe, the Supreme Court revived a long-neglected, ninety-year-old statute, 42 U.S.C. 1983, making it the …
Observations On Personal Injury Law, Stephen J. Werber
Observations On Personal Injury Law, Stephen J. Werber
Law Faculty Articles and Essays
When I originally came to Ohio in 1970, I was surprised to find that the Ohio state courts lagged considerably behind other states in the development of personal injury law and especially product liability law. Under the leadership of Chief Justice Frank Celebrezze, the court's position was re-oriented. With decisions adopting and liberally defining strict liability, the court took a major step. Shortly thereafter, the court ruled that neither the Ohio Constitution nor any Ohio legislation insulated an employer from liability to employees for intentional torts. These, and other changes, have moved Ohio to the forefront of legal development in …

Draft Of Justice Rehnquist's Commitment To The Court And Its Implications - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Draft Of Justice Rehnquist's Commitment To The Court And Its Implications - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
This Article will analyze the course to which Rehnquist seems to have committed the court, and examine its implications. Rehnquist starts with a notion of deliberateness (a federal concept that he draws out of the notion of deprivation) On its face, this seems to call for a new federal common law of torts.

Draft Of The Constitutionalization Of Intentional Torts - 1986, Wendy J. Gordon
Scholarship Chronologically
The Supreme Court has often faced the question of whether an individual who alleges that he has been injured by a state or local official or by a local governmental entity, can bring a constitutional tort action under section 1983 when state doctrines of sovereign or official immunity would make it impossible for the individual to prosecute an ordinary tort suit in the relevant state court. The Court has consistently held that when an official violates a substantive provision of the Constitution, only an immunity that is consistent with the purpose of section 1983 and the Consitution can be tolerated.

Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress By Spiritual Counselors: Can Outrageous Conduct Be "Free Exercise"?, Lee W. Brooks
Michigan Law Review
Part I explains the extent to which courts are competent to decide the threshold question of whether particular conduct is religious. Part II describes the balancing test put forward by the Supreme Court for evaluating free exercise claims, and derives criteria relevant to spiritual counseling from cases involving such claims. Part III summarizes the pertinent criteria and reviews the ways they may be employed to systematize the treatment of spiritual counseling cases.

Keepers Of The Flame: Prosser And Keeton On The Law Of Torts, Craig Joyce
Keepers Of The Flame: Prosser And Keeton On The Law Of Torts, Craig Joyce
Vanderbilt Law Review
Rarely in the history of American legal education has one author's name been so clearly identified with his subject as the name of William L. Prosser is with the law of torts. Even today, fourteen years after his death in 1972, "Prosser on Torts" remains in the minds of students, teachers, the bench, and the bar alike a single thought, its parts indistinguishable one from the other. Indeed, the passage of time has done nothing to diminish the influence of the man on the subject. His articles remain landmarks in the development both of the literature of torts and of …
Enhanced Injury: A Direction For Washington, Stanton Phillip Beck
Enhanced Injury: A Direction For Washington, Stanton Phillip Beck
Washington Law Review
This Comment emphasizes automotive design. This is for two reasons. Most enhanced injury cases arise in this context, and, more significantly, no other product is associated with stronger public policy considerations nor affects society more broadly than the automobile. When faced with a case of first impression involving enhanced injury, courts can and should draw from many sources in developing an approach to the apportionment problem. First, the courts should look to the treatment enhanced injury cases have received in other jurisdictions. Second, they should seek guidance and analogize, if possible, from established tort doctrines. Finally, and most importantly, they …

This assumes. of course, the defendant wants a speedy trial and is not intentionally hindering the Government's attempt to provide one. That assumption may be open to question in this case. The majority points out that respondents' strategically timed demands (or a speedy trial run somewhat hollow in light of respondents; overall behavior during the litigation.
Tort Law Reform: Strict Liability And The Collateral Source Rule Do Not Mix, Victor E. Schwartz
Tort Law Reform: Strict Liability And The Collateral Source Rule Do Not Mix, Victor E. Schwartz
Vanderbilt Law Review
The imposition of strict liability and the simultaneous application of the collateral source rule to innocent defendants represent unfair and unsound public policy. Strict liability and the collateral source rule should not be mixed; nevertheless, our courts inadvertently blend them. A fundamental reform that would help stabilize the American tort law system is to abolish the collateral source rule in to whenever a claimant relies on a strict liability theory.The collateral source rule is appropriate only when a claimant proves that the defendant was at fault in causing an injury. There is a broad view in the United States that …

Mining With Mr. Justice Holmes, E. F. Roberts
Vanderbilt Law Review
All of us are probably familiar with the notion that the owner of mineral rights may owe some duty of care to support the owner of the fee in his or her surface use of the land. This principle results in a binary system (the surface estate and the right of sup-port) that can be treated easily in tort law. In Pennsylvania the coal companies had owned vast areas of land. The companies had sold much of this land, reserving not only the coal, but "the right to. ..remove the same without incurring in any way liability for any damage …
