The Rise And Fall Of Premises Liability For Injuries Arising From Third-Party Criminal Activity In Mississippi, Mark J. Goldberg

Mississippi College Law Review

On July 1, 2019, the Landowners Protection Act (the “Act”) became effective in Mississippi. The Act modified existing law as to premises liability for failure to protect against the criminal acts of third-parties in two respects. First, a new Code section was enacted, granting property owners several protections from such claims. Second, Mississippi’s joint and several liability statute was amended to allow for apportionment of fault between premises owners and intentional tortfeasors, i.e., criminal actors.

In the debate leading to the Act’s passage, proponents of the legislation provided that it was intended to codify prior court rulings and ensure that …

Matter Of Will Of Ratcliff And The Not-So-Harmless Error: A Call To Change Mississippi’S Approach To Will Formalities, Kelsi Baldwin

Mississippi College Law Review

A will provides a mechanism to dispose of property at death. But costly litigation—or worse, a will’s invalidation—often thwart this purpose. The law of probate is state-specific, which leaves jurisdictions with the burden of ensuring that their laws promote rather than defeat the purpose of probate—to honor the testator’s intent. Mississippi attempts to recognize this purpose by requiring strict compliance with the statutory requirements for creating a will. This “better safe than sorry” approach errs on the side of invalidity with the hope that denying a non-compliant instrument for probate will prevent fraud and other wrongdoing.

Despite its intention, Mississippi’s …

The Commitments To Exercise Care And Achieving A Result Within The Scope Of Smart Contracts: A Comparative Study, Dr. Abdul-Rahman Mohamed Salem

UAEU Law Journal

Smart contracts didn't receive yet the proper attention of legal jurisprudence until the recent time. There is a noticeable delay in addressing its provisions, especially among the studies of Arab Jurisprudence. The legal frameworks of any topic are determined only by its completion. Perhaps the topic of smart contracts hasn't ripened yet in our Arab societies.

It was necessary to conduct research on the aspects of this topic to support the values of development and keep pace with the fourth-generation technology.

It is necessary to define the smart contract that combines the legal aspect, the technical aspect and the style …

Exposing The Glass Ceiling And Social Exclusion Of Arabs In The Israeli Labor Market, Neta Nadiv

Pace International Law Review

This article presents the conservative claim that the public sector ought to lead by example to influence social employment patterns, across the public and private sectors. The hypothesis is that affirmative action plans are instrumental in establishing change in employment processes and are additionally essential in advancing the social concept of employment diversity. In the absence of a clear obligation and set requirements for the inclusion of Arab employees in Israel, an under-represented group, it is likely no significant change in employment patterns will be seen. This article details how current affirmative action plans advocate for integration merely on paper …

Ethics At The Speed Of Business, James A. Doppke Jr.

DePaul Business & Commercial Law Journal

This paper discusses several ways in which the Illinois Rules of Professional Conduct, and the Illinois Supreme Court Rules, construct barriers that prevent lawyers and businesses from accomplishing reasonable commercial goals. Often, those barriers arise from outdated concepts, or terminology that does not reflect current business realities. The paper argues for the amendment of specific Rules to enhance lawyers’ and businesses’ respective abilities to conduct their affairs more efficiently, without sacrificing public protection in the process.
