Criminal Law And Procedure, Aaron J. Campbell
Criminal Law And Procedure, Aaron J. Campbell
University of Richmond Law Review
This article aims to give a succinct review of notable criminal
law and procedure cases decided by the Supreme Court of Virginia
and the Court of Appeals of Virginia during the past year. Instead
of covering every ruling or rationale in these cases, the article
focuses on the "take-away" of the holdings with the most
precedential value. The article also summarizes noteworthy
changes to criminal law and procedure enacted by the 2017 Virginia
General Assembly.
Family Law, Allison Anna Tait
Family Law, Allison Anna Tait
University of Richmond Law Review
Another year of family law activity in Virginia brought both new
legislation, which will likely have long-term impacts, as well as a
new set of judicial opinions that will bring changes to the Virginia
rules. The terrain covered in the legislation and opinions varies,
but it includes certain fixtures such as marriage and divorce requirements,
equitable distribution, spousal and child support, and
child custody. This brief overview addresses all these areas, beginning
with the legislative changes and then moving to the courts.

Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. William Gray Jr., Katherine E. Ramsey
Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. William Gray Jr., Katherine E. Ramsey
University of Richmond Law Review
The Supreme Court of Virginia has handed down seven recent
decisions addressing the authority of an agent to change the principal's
estate plan, legal malpractice claims in estate planning,
rights of incapacitated adults, limits of the constructive trust doctrine,
effects of a reversionary clause in a deed, ownership of an
engagement ring, and proof of undue influence. The 2017 Virginia
General Assembly clarified rules on legal malpractice and tenancies
by the entireties, adopted the Uniform Trust Decanting Act
and the Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, and expanded
provisions governing estate administration, life insurance,
and advance medical directives. Other …

Slaying The Gerrymander: How Reform Will Happen In The Commonwealth, Brian Cannon, Ben Williams
Slaying The Gerrymander: How Reform Will Happen In The Commonwealth, Brian Cannon, Ben Williams
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Gerrymandering is a political tool that snuck its way into Virginia politics long ago. It has become problematic over time, threatening true democracy in the Commonwealth. This article outlines what those problems are, how other states reacted to similar issues, and what Virginia politicians have done to respond to gerrymandering. It offers proposed solutions to the issues, and calls upon the Virginia General Assembly and elected governor to take action.
Amending The Virginia Residential Landlord-Tenant Act Regarding Liability For Bedbug Extermination, Lisa Allen
Amending The Virginia Residential Landlord-Tenant Act Regarding Liability For Bedbug Extermination, Lisa Allen
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
An addition to the Virginia Code has caused complications for residential tenants who experience bedbugs in their rental units. A proposed amendment to this law will hold landlords liable for dealing with bedbugs infestations because landlords are in a position that makes them most able to afford treatment. This amendment would also address bedbugs effectively according to scientific research and align with federal housing guidelines.
Sometimes It Takes A Tragedy: How The Death Of A Mentally Ill Inmate May Become A Catalyst For A New Horizon Of Mental Health Reform In Virginia, Snapper Tams
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
This comment recounts a recent tragedy that occurred in the Common- wealth of Virginia that resulted from neglect of a mentally ill inmate in the state’s correctional system. Mentally ill inmates have been long ignored by the Commonwealth as a result of lack of funds and resources available to correctional facilities. The General Assembly has considered legislation that would prevent stories like the one in this comment, but legislators delayed action and prioritized other matters. This comment calls upon the General Assembly to take these tragedies seriously and put mentally ill in- mates on the agenda in 2018.
Capital Sentencing For Children In Virginia In The Wake Of Miller V. Alabama And Montgomery V. Louisiana, Julie E. Mcconnell
Capital Sentencing For Children In Virginia In The Wake Of Miller V. Alabama And Montgomery V. Louisiana, Julie E. Mcconnell
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Recent United States Supreme Court decisions have declared it unconstitutional to sentence a juvenile to mandatory life in prison without an opportunity for parole. Virginia, a state that abolished parole in 1995, has yet to recognize the federally mandated prohibition against disproportionate punishment imposed on juveniles, particularly in cases where the mandatory minimum sentence is life without parole. This article proposes the General Assembly should amend current laws that reflect the unconstitutionality of these statutes as applied to juveniles.
A Reform Long Overdue: Raising Virginia's Felony Grand Larceny Threshold, Bill Rice
A Reform Long Overdue: Raising Virginia's Felony Grand Larceny Threshold, Bill Rice
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
Virginia has one of the lowest felony grand larceny thresholds in the nation. This low threshold has not been adjusted with inflation since 1980 and, thus, results in a high number of felony convictions in the state today. This article examines the current debate surrounding Virginia’s felony grand larceny threshold and presents a remedy that will reasonably man- age the state’ s interests in preventing future larcenies while not unduly punishing citizens for committing minor crimes.

Involuntarily Committed Patients As Prisoners, Matt Lamkin, Carl Elliott
Involuntarily Committed Patients As Prisoners, Matt Lamkin, Carl Elliott
University of Richmond Law Review
Part I relates several stories of involuntarily committed patients who were recruited into studies posing serious risks. Part II draws on these cases to argue that the involuntary commitment of these patients leaves them vulnerable to unethical treatment by researchers. Their inherently coercive circumstances present an overwhelming obstacle to voluntary consent, and their captive status makes them attractive targets for research that could be performed using less vulnerable subjects.
Part III argues that most research on this patient population is improper under generally applicable principles of informed consent and fair subject selection. However, existing protections have proved insufficient to prevent …
