Conservative Supreme Court: Its Impact On Traditional Values, Donald E. Wildman, Benjamin W. Bull
Conservative Supreme Court: Its Impact On Traditional Values, Donald E. Wildman, Benjamin W. Bull
University of Richmond Law Review
Most court watchers agree that the changing composition of the Supreme Court will ineluctably favor the interests of traditional values organizations like the American Family Association. The next decade will surely see the Court return to a more balanced approach in line with the preservation of family values. Certainly some will characterize the new Court as more conservative. To the extent that it will emphasize core principles in the Constitution as the bedrock from which it must proceed, it will be conservative. Yet this is simply a return of the Court to its intended function: interpretation and application of law …
The Supreme Court: New Hope For The Restoration Of Federalism, Beverly Lahaye, Ellen O. Smith
The Supreme Court: New Hope For The Restoration Of Federalism, Beverly Lahaye, Ellen O. Smith
University of Richmond Law Review
The recent philosdphical shift of the Supreme Court toward a more restrained or "conservative" approach to constitutional adjudication brings with it hope for the revitalization of federalism as a constitutional and political principle.
Balancing The Federal Judiciary, Anne Bryant
Balancing The Federal Judiciary, Anne Bryant
University of Richmond Law Review
Since the American Association of University Women first published the associational brief "Balancing the Federal Judiciary" in 1988, two new Associate Justices (David Souter and Clarence Thomas) have joined the Supreme Court. The Court has continued to chip away at the rights of women and minorities, with damaging decisions in areas such as reproductive rights (e.g., Webster v. Reproductive Health Services) and employment discrimination(e.g., Wards Cove Packing Company v. Atonio). With a conservative majority in place on the Supreme Court until well into the next century and Reagan and Bush appointees comprising more than half of the nation's federal judges, …
Reagan, Bush And The Supreme Court, Arthur J. Kropp
Reagan, Bush And The Supreme Court, Arthur J. Kropp
University of Richmond Law Review
What may be the most significant achievement of the Reagan-Bush years is one we have only begun to appreciate: the radical revolution in the federal courts. After nearly three terms of conservative presidents bent on remaking the federal judiciary, the courts have been transformed. They are far more conservative, and, despite Administration rhetoric to the contrary, decidedly more activist.
A Social-Conservative Comment On The New Supreme Court, Gary L. Bauer
A Social-Conservative Comment On The New Supreme Court, Gary L. Bauer
University of Richmond Law Review
I recall seeing a column, not long ago, which referred to the Supreme Court as increasingly "a right-wing playground." Liberal groups may be able to raise funds off this impression, but if conservatives rely on it, they are in for a rude awakening when the gavel falls.
Saving The Honorable Court: Assessing The Proper Role Of The Modern Supreme Court, Michael Allan Wolf
Saving The Honorable Court: Assessing The Proper Role Of The Modern Supreme Court, Michael Allan Wolf
University of Richmond Law Review
There are few greater delights in legal scholarship than the opportunity to have the last word in a symposium featuring distinguished - and dramatically differing - viewpoints. The thirteen contributions that precede this afterword offer a provocative and representative set of reactions to the ongoing debate over the role of the Supreme Court in the American polity. This debate is by no means new, or even middle-aged. The struggle over the confirmation of Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is but the latest in a long line of pressure points in American constitutional history - events such as controversial Supreme Court decisions, …
Raiding The Establishment: New Perspectives On Takeover Law, Samuel N. Levin
Raiding The Establishment: New Perspectives On Takeover Law, Samuel N. Levin
University of Richmond Law Review
This essay offers a brief description of certain factors influencing the development of the law governing corporate acquisitions. In its most basic terms, the central issue in this field boils down to who should control the wealth and power of our country. The issue encompasses choices based on political, economic and social values. It is my thesis that implicit favoring of establishment groups over "outsiders" underlies recent judicial and legislative actions bolstering management's ability to fend off unwanted acquisitions.

Remembering A.L. Philpott, Gerald L. Baliles
Remembering A.L. Philpott, Gerald L. Baliles
University of Richmond Law Review
The University of Richmond Law Review's dedication of its 1992 Annual Survey of Virginia Law to the late A.L. Philpott, Speaker of the House of Delegates, is a thoughtful and fitting tribute to a T.C. Williams alumnus and dear friend of the University, and a distinguished public leader in the life of the Commonwealth.

Dedication, James R. Kibler Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
September, 1991 saw the passing of A.L. Philpott, loyal alumnus of the University of Richmond and The T.C. Williams School of Law, Speaker of the House of Delegates, and member of the Virginia General Assembly for thirty-three years. He was 72. Advocate, counsellor, legislator, A.L. Philpott embodied the notion of lawyer as public servant. His contributions to the development of Virginia law and public policy are legion. Perhaps chief among these were his commitment to improving codification of the Code of Virginia and his steadfast devotion to constitutional doctrine and individual liberties. In recognition of his many contributions to the …

A Tribute To A.L. Philpott, Lewis W. Parker Jr.
A Tribute To A.L. Philpott, Lewis W. Parker Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1973 I served in my first session of the General Assembly of Virginia. Prior to leaving for Richmond, I was advised to keep my mouth shut and to never, never raise the ire of A.L. Philpott. We had some problem in Mecklenburg County, and I introduced legislation to address it. As the bill was called on second reading, I shuddered as Mr. Philpott rose and asked the Speaker if I would yield for a question. He asked: "Does the gentleman realize the bill is in violation of the Constitution of Virginia?" Since I am not an attorney, I had …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Antitrust And Trade Regulation, Michael F. Urbanski
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Antitrust And Trade Regulation, Michael F. Urbanski
University of Richmond Law Review
Continuing in a groove well worn by decisions rendered over the last several years, Virginia's federal courts have, over the past year, continued to demonstrate a measure of hostility toward antitrust conspiracy claims by regularly disposing of fully-discovered conspiracy claims through summary adjudication. Plaintiffs' conspiracy claims in the health care context have fared especially poorly.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Workers' Compensation, Mary G. Commander
University of Richmond Law Review
This article reintroduces workers' compensation as a topic given periodic treatment in the Annual Survey of Virginia Law. Prior to the creation of the Virginia Court of Appeals, effective January 1, 1985, the law of workers' compensation had become static and predictable; accordingly, other areas were given priority in the Survey. This article covers selected significant developments in the law since 1985.
Cameras In Virginia Courtroom, Teresa D. Keller
Cameras In Virginia Courtroom, Teresa D. Keller
University of Richmond Law Review
On July 1, 1992, Virginia joined forty other states by allowing cameras into state courtrooms on a permanent basis. A pilot program had been underway since 1987, allowing news coverage by television cameras, audio recorders, and still cameras in a handful of state courtrooms. Lawmakers had extended the experiment twice, delaying a permanent decision in the face of varying opinions about the success of the program. The Supreme Court of Virginia issued two reports over the five year span indicating the pilot program had produced a negative effect on the judicial process. Broadcasters, on the other hand, consistently claimed the …

Awarding Punitive Damages In Securities Industry Arbitration: Working For A Just Result, Anthony Michael Sabino
University of Richmond Law Review
It is often said that the business of America is business, and probably the best exemplifications of that old truism are the nation's stock exchanges. To be sure, not only stock, but bonds, options, commodities, futures, and a whole plethora of instruments are traded daily in exchanges large and small, in a seamless web straddling the country, if not the world.
Expanding The Judicial Power Of The Administrative Law Judge To Establish Efficiency And Fairness In Administrative Adjudication, C. Stuart Greer
Expanding The Judicial Power Of The Administrative Law Judge To Establish Efficiency And Fairness In Administrative Adjudication, C. Stuart Greer
University of Richmond Law Review
How is an administrative law judge ("ALJ") to know his role in the modern bureaucracy? On the one hand, the law requires the ALJ to adjudicate legal disputes between the government agency and the individual, and on the other hand, a black-robed member of the judicial branch in- structs him that he is out of his jurisdiction. Who wins in this decades-long battle for turf?
Franklin V. Gwinnett County Public Schools: The Implication Of Remedies For An Implied Cause Of Action, Ellen F. Firsching
Franklin V. Gwinnett County Public Schools: The Implication Of Remedies For An Implied Cause Of Action, Ellen F. Firsching
University of Richmond Law Review
According to the common law doctrine of ubi jus, ibi remedium, where there is a right, there is a remedy. The United States Supreme Court has long recognized the validity of this doctrine. Traditionally, the Court was very liberal in recognizing private rights of action, and granting injunctive and monetary relief for violations of constitutional and statutory rights in the absence of explicit congressional authorization. In Bell v. Hood, the Supreme Court stated: "[W]here federally protected rights have been invaded, it has been the rule from the beginning that courts will be alert to adjust their remedies so as to …
Disability Law Compliance Manual, Kathe A. Klare
Disability Law Compliance Manual, Kathe A. Klare
University of Richmond Law Review
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), signed into law by President Bush on July 26, 1990, is viewed by many as the most significant civil rights legislation since the Civil Rights Act of 1964. As a result of census data, national polls, and other studies, there was a recognition that persons with disabilities, as a group, have been relegated to an inferior status in all realms of society. Thus, persons with disabilities have been, and remain, severely disadvantaged in achieving social interactions and vocational, economic and educational goals. The enactment of the ADA seeks to provide persons with disabilities the …
