Constitutional Remedies: Reconciling Official Immunity With The Vindication Of Rights, Michael Wells
Constitutional Remedies: Reconciling Official Immunity With The Vindication Of Rights, Michael Wells
Scholarly Works
A great deal of scholarly attention is devoted to constitutional rights and comparatively little to remedies for their violation. Yet rights without remedies are not worth much, and remedial law does not always facilitate the enforcement of rights, even of constitutional rights. This Article discusses an especially challenging remedial context: suits seeking damages for constitutional wrongs that occurred in the past, that are unlikely to recur, and hence that cannot be remedied by forward-looking injunctive or declaratory relief. Typical fact patterns include charges that the police, prison guards, school administrators, or other officials have engaged in illegal searches and seizures, …

Inexcusable Wrongs, John C.P. Goldberg
Inexcusable Wrongs, John C.P. Goldberg
Sibley Lecture Series
John Goldberg, Goldston Professor of Law at Harvard University, presented “Inexcusable Wrongs” as the University of Georgia School of Law’s 111th Sibley Lecturer on April 11 at 3:30 p.m. in the Hatton Lovejoy Courtroom of Hirsch Hall.
An expert in tort law, tort theory and political philosophy, Goldberg discussed how tort law has little patience for excuses while criminal law is more forgiving. He offered a unified account of many of tort law’s core features as well as a broadened understanding of what it means for law to identify conduct as wrongful and for law to set up schemes for …
The Plaintiffs Keep Getting Richer, The Manufacturers Just Stay Poor: Design Defect Litigation In Georgia Post-Banks, Davis S. Popper
The Plaintiffs Keep Getting Richer, The Manufacturers Just Stay Poor: Design Defect Litigation In Georgia Post-Banks, Davis S. Popper
Georgia Law Review
How much proof of a reasonable alternative design is necessary to survive a claim for defective design and when should proof of a reasonable alternative design be denied as irrelevant to claims pertaining to products that exhibit open and obvious dangers? Design defect litigation is particularly important because it involves claims that take entire product lines out of the market and cost manufacturers exorbitant losses and expose them to steep damages. In these cases, plaintiffs often suffer life- changing injuries or death. In this Note, I provide a history of design defect litigation in the United States. In particular,I focus …
Disaggregative Mechanisms: The New Frontier Of Mass-Claims Resolution Without Class Actions, Jaime Dodge
Disaggregative Mechanisms: The New Frontier Of Mass-Claims Resolution Without Class Actions, Jaime Dodge
Scholarly Works
Aggregation has long been viewed as the primary if not sole vehicle for mass claims resolution. For a half-century, scholars have consistently viewed the consolidated litigation of similar claims through joinder, class actions and more recently multi-district litigation as the only mechanism for efficiently resolving mass claims. In this Article, I challenge that long-standing and fundamental conception. The Article seeks to reconceptualize our understanding of mass claims resolution, arguing that we are witnessing the birth of a second, unexplored branch of mass claims resolution mechanisms — which I term “disaggregative” dispute resolution systems because they lack the traditional aggregation of …
Remanding Multidistrict Litigation, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Remanding Multidistrict Litigation, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Scholarly Works
Multidistrict litigation has frequently been described as a “black hole” because transfer is typically a one-way ticket. The numbers lend truth to this proposition. As of 2010, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation remanded only 3.425% of cases to their original districts. That number dwindled to 3.1% in 2012, and to a scant 2.9% in 2013. Retaining cases in hopes of forcing a global settlement can cause a constellation of complications. These concerns range from procedural justice issues over selecting a forum and correcting error, to substantive concerns about fidelity to state laws, to undermining democratic participation ideals fulfilled through …
Facilitative Judging: Organizational Design In Mass-Multidistrict Litigation, Jaime Dodge
Facilitative Judging: Organizational Design In Mass-Multidistrict Litigation, Jaime Dodge
Scholarly Works
Faced with the emerging phenomenon of complex litigation—from school desegregation to mass torts—the judiciary of the last century departed from the traditional, purely adjudicative role in favor of managerial judging, in which they actively supervised cases and even became involved in settlement talks. I argue that a similar transition in judicial role is now occurring. I contend that transferee judges are now stepping back from active participation in settlement discussions but playing a far greater role in structuring and administering the litigation. This new judicial role focuses on facilitating the parties’ resolution of the case, whether through settlement or remand …
Preemption Without Borders: The Modern Conflation Of Tort And Contract Liabilities, Max N. Helveston
Preemption Without Borders: The Modern Conflation Of Tort And Contract Liabilities, Max N. Helveston
Georgia Law Review
Medical device jurisprudence has taken a turn for the worse recently, turning a deaf ear to patients who have been injured or killed by devices and covertly expanding the boundaries of federal preemption in ways that threaten fundamental contractual principles. Ever since the Court's holding in Riegel v. Medtronic, district and appellate courts have effectively immunized the manufacturers of certain devices from contract, as well as tort, liabilities. The lower courts' rulings are not only
problematic as a matter of law, but raise novel concerns about federal regulatory preemption undermining individuals' contract rights. A comprehensive analysis of the Court's medical …
