Libel—New Standard For Liability For Media Defendants—Taskett V. King Broadcasting Co., 86 Wn. 2d 439, 546 P.2d 81 (1976), Allen D. Israel

Washington Law Review

William Taskett's advertising business had suffered serious financial setbacks which caused him to seek statutory corporate dissolution. Believing that his affairs had been put in order, he left the state for an extended vacation. Because his whereabouts were unknown to his unsatisfied creditors, which included several prominent Seattle businesses, KING Broadcasting Company decided that his "disappearance" was newsworthy, and made it the subject of a television news story. Taskett brought suit against KING for libel, alleging that its story had depicted him as a "thief and a swindler." Relying upon the controlling Washington authority of Miller v. Argus Publishing Co., …

Evidence—Admissibility Of The Victim's Past Sexual Behavior Under Washington's Rape Evidence Law—Wash. Rev. Code § 9.79.150 (1976), Evelyn Sroufe

Washington Law Review

Although R.C.W. § 9.79.150 deals with many sex crimes, this note is limited to its application in forcible rape cases. Part I examines various exclusionary rules of evidence in order to develop a framework for analysis of Washington's new law. Part II discusses the relevance of the victim's sexual history to her credibility as a witness; it concludes that the complete exclusion of past sexual history to attack credibility may be unconstitutional under the United States Supreme Court holding in Davis v. Alaska. On the other hand, Part III suggests that R.C.W. § 9.79.150 should be redrafted to limit further …

Capacity To Marry In The Conflict Of Laws: Some Variations On A Theme, H. Patrick Glenn

Dalhousie Law Journal

Problems of matrimonial capacity in the conflict of laws have traditionally been said to be resolved through a distributive application of the two personal laws in presence - to each his or her own law.' Yet the proponents of this "dual domicile doctrine" have met strong opposition from those who would recognize a paramount interest on the part of the State wherein the marriage is to be fixed, rather than that from which the parties may have come, in determining its validity. Savigny in Germany, 2 Bartin in France, 3 Cook in the U.S.A., 4 and Cheshire5 in England have …

The New Principle Of Law Reform In Australia, Alex. C. Castles

Dalhousie Law Journal

Until comparatively recent times, continuous, systematic law reform has not been favoured with strong support in those countries nurtured in the common law tradition. In particular, many lawyers in Australia, as elsewhere in the common law world, have tended, for the most part,' to be suspicious and perhaps, subconsciously, more than a little fearful of legal evolution through legislative action rather than judge-made law. This state of mind has belied the realities of the twentieth century life of the law and in many ways as well, the thrust of the law as it evolved in common law countries in the …

Alternative Proposals For The Regulation Of An Emergency Strike In The Health Care Industry, Susan A. Jones

Vanderbilt Law Review

In order to give approximately 1,400,0001 health care employees the protection enjoyed by employees under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), Congress amended the Act in 1974 to make health care institutions "employers. Recognizing the public's dependence upon the unique services provided by health care facilities, Congress was hesitant, however, to extend coverage under the Act to health care employees without providing additional safe-guards. These safeguards are embodied in the following special provisions: (1) the extension of the sixty-day notice requirement for modification of an expiring contract to ninety days; (2) the creation of a thirty-day notice requirement of a …

Academic Researchers And The First Amendment: Constitutional Protection For Their Confidential Sources, Howard Gray Curtis

San Diego Law Review

The first section of this Comment describes the Richards decision. As will be seen, that decision reflects the exercise of judicial discretion to ensure that the quest for discovery under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure does not override other important interests. The validity of that exercise is then examined. Finally, this Comment addresses the constitutional privilege issue left unanswered by Richards. It advances the thesis that academic researchers deserve a qualified first amendment privilege against compulsory disclosure of their confidential sources.

The Power Of The Fcc To Regulate Newspaper-Broadcast Cross-Ownership: The Need For Congressional Clarification, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The controversy surrounding the FCC's Second Report and . Order, its appeal, and the subsequent decision in NCCB raises basic questions concerning the statutory authority of the FCC to promulgate rules concerning newspaper-broadcast cross-ownership. This Note suggests that the FCC, notwithstanding judicial affirmation in NCCB of the Commission's authority to adopt such rules, might well be exercising more authority than Congress intended it to possess under the Communications Act of 1934. This Note therefore concludes that, irrespective of the merits of the Second Report and Order, Congress should reexamine and clarify the scope of the FCC's power in this regard.

Chapters Of The Civil Jury, Doug Rendleman

Scholarly Articles

The civil jury, though constitutionally protected by the seventh amendment, has remained a controversial institution throughout much of Anglo-American legal history. Our romantic ideals are questioned by critics who view the civil jury as prejudiced and unpredictable; proponents note the sense of fairness and "earthy wisdom" gained by community participation in the legal process. This debate surfaces in the process of accommodation between certain substantive goals of the law and the pre-verdict and post-verdict procedural devices courts have employed to control the jury. In this article, Professor Rendleman examines this conflict in his three "chapters" involving racially motivated discharges of …
