A New Approach To Jurisdictional Analysis?, Anon

Washington Law Review

Plaintiff, a Washington corporation, is a general insurance broker procuring "hard-to-get" insurance exclusively for other brokers. Defendant, a California corporation, telephoned plaintiff requesting it to obtain insurance for Cisco Aircraft, Inc., a customer negotiating a crop and forest dusting contract. Plaintiff obtained high-risk, high-premium coverage through its London broker and wired defendant a binder. Cisco defaulted and coverage was cancelled. Plaintiff paid its London broker the earned premiums and sought recovery from defendant. Defendant was served pursuant to the Washington long arm statute. Defendant unsuccessfully challenged the jurisdiction of the court. Plaintiff received a $41,275.15 judgment because the jury found …

A Reasoned Approach To The Reform Of Sex Offense Legislation, Ronald B. Schram

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Currently there is a widespread movement toward the revision of state criminal codes. The goals of such an undertaking are varied: (1) to reduce the size of the criminal law by eliminating inconsistent, overlapping, or obsolete provisions; (2) to phrase the prohibitions in clear and concise language; (3) to introduce more modern approaches to the definition and treatment of criminal offenses; and (4) to harmonize the penalty imposed for a particular act with the severity of the act and the penalty for other acts. This paper will concentrate on sex offenses in an attempt to understand the legislative process of …

The Choice Among State Laws In Maritime Death Cases, David P. Currie

Vanderbilt Law Review

This article is about choice of law, not jurisdiction. Suffice it that the court of appeals was prepared to equate a damp Convair with a Cunarder. It is a very interesting fact that in admirality cases, unlike diversity cases, the governing substantive law, in whatever court, is predominantly federal; the Supreme Court has consistently held that the grant of admiralty jurisdiction to federal courts by the Constitution gives federal judges power to create federal decisional law, although the similarly worded diversity grant does not. If this distinction is justifiable, it must be because of the different purposes the Court has …

Criminal Insanity, Arval A. Morris

Washington Law Review

Mental capacity becomes relevant to the criminal law as soon as a peace officer apprehends a person who has committed an anti-social act. Policemen, and later prosecutors, must decide whether the offender is "well" (sane), responsible for his acts, and the proper subject of criminal proceedings or whether he is "sick" (insane), not responsible for his acts, and the proper subject of civil commitment or similar process. These are threshhold questions in criminal law enforcement. If criminal processes are used, then the trial stage presents twin questions: whether an accused is capable of standing trial, and whether he was insane …

Federal Courts--Discovery--Stay Of Discovery In Civil Court To Protect Proceedings In Concurrent Criminal Action--The Pattern Of Remedies, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The federal criminal discovery rules were a carefully weighed compromise between the parties' needs for information and the defendant's need for protection from inquisatorial investigation. This balance may be upset when the more liberal discovery rules in a concurrent, related civil action permit information to be obtained which is not discoverable under the criminal rules. Two recent cases, United States v. Simon and United States v. American Radiator &- Standard Sanitary Corp., illustrate the difficulty of protecting the integrity of the criminal discovery rules in such a situation.

Franchise Regulation Under The California Corporate Securities Law, Louis C. Novak, Howard Rosten

San Diego Law Review

Franchising is one of the fastest growing facets of business in the United States. It has become one of the most successful marketing devices in the contemporary commercial world, accounting for $65 billion annually–over 10 percent of the gross national product. Credit for the tremendous growth of the franchising business has been attributed to the fact that it readily melds the know-how of big businessmen with the ambition of little businessmen. The franchise system has the advantage of enabling numerous groups of individuals with small capital to become entrepreneurs. Such a system makes independent businessmen out of people who would …
