Avoiding The Mistakes Of Terrell R.: The Undoing Of The California Tort Claims Act And The Move To Absolute Governmental Immunity In Foster Care Placement And Supervision, Austen L. Parrish

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This article addresses the issue of governmental immunity and mandatory duty liability in the context of foster child abuse. The article should be of interest to children's rights organizations, legal scholars, practitioners and judges who face governmental liability issues related to the California foster care system.

The California Tort Claims Act has, until recently, long served as an important means by which foster children may obtain recourse from the government for injuries caused by social worker negligence. In the late 1990s, however, the California courts of appeal retreat - without justification - from the dictates of the Tort Claims Act. …

Book Review. Abortion And Divorce In Western Law By Mary Ann Glendon, Lauren K. Robel Jan 1989

Book Review. Abortion And Divorce In Western Law By Mary Ann Glendon, Lauren K. Robel

Articles by Maurer Faculty

In this book, Professor Mary Ann Glendon contends that the American commitment to individualism and rights has deprived our law of compassion in the areas of abortion and divorce. She argues that while western European countries tell their citizens that their decisions about family are important to the larger society, American law takes extreme and damaging positions that isolate people at times when the community has an interest in their acts. Much of the book is a gentle and persuasive reminder that America lacks any semblance of a national family policy, an omission that looks heartless in comparison to Europe. …

Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg Jan 1985

Crossing Boundaries: Nineteenth-Century Domestic Relations Law And The Merger Of Family And Legal History, Michael Grossberg

Articles by Maurer Faculty

This essay argues for the need to study the legal history of the American family. It does so by combining a critique of secondary literature in family and legal history with examples from nineteenth-century domestic relations law. These examples, drawn from family law doctrines on seduction under the cover of a marriage promise, runaway marriages, and bastardy, are used to indicate the benefits of adding a sociocultural dimension to legal history and legal and institutional dimensions to family history. Three main themes in the history of nineteenth-century domestic relations law are developed to make these points: the law's particular fabric …

The Rights Of A Mexican Concubine Under Arizona Workmen's Compensation Law, John Flood Jan 1982

The Rights Of A Mexican Concubine Under Arizona Workmen's Compensation Law, John Flood

Articles by Maurer Faculty

The case of Fidel Ochoa Urquijo (deceased), Rosa Elda Velasquez (alleged widow) et al. v. Reidhead Enterprises and State Compensation Fund, decided by the Industrial Commission of Arizona in 1981, considers whether a woman, recognized as a surviving concubine under the laws of the Republic of Mexico, is entitled to widow's benefits under the Workmen's Compensation Act of the State of Arizona (the Arizona Act) upon the death of her Mexican national "husband, " when that death arose out of and in the course of his legal employment with an Arizona employer. Under Mexican law, a surviving concubine of an …


A Married Woman's Surname: Is Custom Law?, Julia C. Lamber Jan 1973

A Married Woman's Surname: Is Custom Law?, Julia C. Lamber

Articles by Maurer Faculty

A general awakening of concern for the rights of women has occurred in recent years, and with it the particular problems of married women have been analyzed against a background of centuries of legal and social assumptions. With the impetus of employment discrimination legislation, the proposed equal rights amendment, and litigation raising sex discrimination issues, it is not surprising that many women are actively seeking to retain their pre-marriage names. This movement compels us to re-examine the custom that a woman must assume her husband's surname upon marriage. That such a phenomenon is custom and not law deserves our attention …
