A Rationale For An Exception To The Seventh Amendment Right To A Jury Trial: In Re Japanese Electronic Products Antitrust Litigation, Frank M. Loo Jan 1981

A Rationale For An Exception To The Seventh Amendment Right To A Jury Trial: In Re Japanese Electronic Products Antitrust Litigation, Frank M. Loo

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article will analyze the Third Circuit's decision and reasoning in Japanese Electronic, in light of the pervasiveness of the seventh amendment right to a jury trial, and argue that exceptions to the seventh amendment exist, not in spite of, but precisely due to the overriding need for procedural due process. The thesis of this Article is that exceptions to the jury trial right should be permitted, and such exceptions are consistent with this right. The Article will focus especially on the Third Circuit's construction of a three-part test, and will examine an alternative basis for finding an exception to …

Slouching Toward Bethlehem With The Ninth Amendment, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1981

Slouching Toward Bethlehem With The Ninth Amendment, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This review discusses Charles Black’s work “Decision According to Law”, which examines the tendency and the means used by activist judges to provide fair decisions through the use of more flexible principles of Constitutional law. While Black’s writing style is both informative and powerful, his original thesis regarding the Ninth Amendment acting as Congressional endorsement of the courts’ activist role is uncompelling and poorly supported.


Transforming The Privately Owned Shopping Center Into A Public Forum: Pruneyard Shopping Center V. Robins, James M. Mccauley Jan 1981

Transforming The Privately Owned Shopping Center Into A Public Forum: Pruneyard Shopping Center V. Robins, James M. Mccauley

University of Richmond Law Review

A recent Supreme Court decision has affirmed a state's choice to provide its citizens access to privately owned shopping centers for the purpose of exercising free speech and petition rights. The United States Supreme Court in Pruneyard Shopping Center v. Robins held that state consitutional provisions permitting individuals to exercise free speech and petition rights on private shopping center property do not violate the shopping center owner's property rights under the fifth and fourteenth amendments or his free speech rights under the first and fourteenth amendments. There exists a delicate balance between the competing in- terests of the shopping center …


Non-Jury Trial Of Civil Litigation: Justifying A Complexity Exception To The Seventh Amendment, Barrett E. Pope Jan 1981

Non-Jury Trial Of Civil Litigation: Justifying A Complexity Exception To The Seventh Amendment, Barrett E. Pope

University of Richmond Law Review

The seventh amendment to the United States Constitution states that "[i]n Suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved."' When Congress enacted the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the right to jury trial at common law remained undisturbed.


Godfrey V. Georgia: Possible Effects On Virginia's Death Penalty Law, S. Vernon Priddy Iii Jan 1981

Godfrey V. Georgia: Possible Effects On Virginia's Death Penalty Law, S. Vernon Priddy Iii

University of Richmond Law Review

Virginia permits imposition of the death penalty for capital murder only after a bifurcated trial in which the jury has found the defendant guilty of the crime and, in a separate proceeding, determined death to be the appropriate penalty. In the second half of this process, the jury must find at least one of the two aggravating circumstances set out by statute' before a death sentence is imposed.


The State's Interest In Adoption And Washington's Sealed Records Statute, Eileen M. Lawrence Jan 1981

The State's Interest In Adoption And Washington's Sealed Records Statute, Eileen M. Lawrence

Seattle University Law Review

After discussing the legal effect of the adoption decree and the purpose of Washington's adoption statute, this comment will analyze the competing interests of the adoptee, the biological parents, the adoptive parents, and the state. This article will also discuss the legislative proposal in Washington attempting to abolish the good cause requirement. Finally, this article concludes the sealed records requirement is constitutionally sound and despite the need for further legislative articulation, the good cause balancing approach is the most suitable method for protecting the conflicting rights and interests inherent in the adoption process.

Democracy And Distrust: A Theory Of Judicial Review, Michael Conant Jan 1981

Democracy And Distrust: A Theory Of Judicial Review, Michael Conant

Vanderbilt Law Review

This review is a critique of the major themes in Democracy and Distrust: A Theory of Judicial Review,' by Professor John Hart Ely of Harvard Law School. Ely primarily addresses the amount of discretion exercised by Supreme Court justices in deciding constitutional cases, a fundamental issue since few scholars today would contest the actual existence of the judicial review power of the Court. Ely's thorough scholarship presents a fine discussion of the Court's legitimacy when it extends its discretion beyond the base of the actual constitutional language. Professor Ely misses the mark, however, in his argument that certain open-ended constitutional …
