What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor? Reprehensibility, The Exxon Valdez And Punitive Damages, Charles S. Doskow Aug 2008

What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor? Reprehensibility, The Exxon Valdez And Punitive Damages, Charles S. Doskow

Charles S Doskow

Under the Supreme Court's due process analysis of the constitutionality of punitive damage awards, in the BMW and State Farm cases, reprehensibility is the first factor considered. The Ninth Circuit's opinion in the Exxon Valdez oil spill case contains a detailed analysis of the elements of reprehensibility. The Supreme Court, on appeal of the Ninth Circuit's decision upholding punitive damages of $2.5 billion, avoided constitutional analysis and applied maritime law.

Orphans Adopted Eighty-Nine Years After Conception, Or, Cataloging Updating Loose-Leaf Publications, Carol Collins Jan 2008

Orphans Adopted Eighty-Nine Years After Conception, Or, Cataloging Updating Loose-Leaf Publications, Carol Collins

College of Law Faculty Scholarship

Until the 2002 revision to AACR2 was adopted, cataloging rules for updating loose-leaf publications were orphans—they were excluded from previous Anglo–American rule compilations. To offer guidance to catalogers, over the years the Library of Congress issued a series of rule interpretations and supplemental resources outlining best practices and rules for cataloging loose-leafs. This article chronicles the publication, or lack of practical publication, of cataloging rules for updating loose-leafs and the impact on libraries. Also included is a review of the various organizations instrumental in garnering support for the creation and acceptance of a new paradigm and standards and concepts that …
