The Paradoxical Role Of Informers Within The Criminal Justice System: A Unique Perspective, David Katz

University of Dayton Law Review

The primary function of the informer is to disclose information to law enforcement authorities which will result in a criminal investigation against a member of society. The informer’s role is a powerful one. Based on his knowledge, a person may be arrested, and possibly suffer loss of freedom, employment, or damage to reputation. Yet the use of informers is widespread, and is often undertaken without safeguards sufficient to avoid abuse by the police. Abuse of informant’s information often arises in the context of pretrial warrant challenges and the entrapment defense.

This article will explore some of the problems implicit in …

Patent Law: Patentability Of A Process That Includes A Programmed Digital Computer: The Court Invents A New Standard, Michael J. Kramer

University of Dayton Law Review

Diamond v. Diehr, 101 S. Ct. 1048 (1981).

Authority for Congress to enact the patent laws is found in the Constitution: “The Congress shall have power … to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for Limited times for Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.” The patent laws are codified in title 35 of the United States Code.

Judicial Attitudes Toward Specific Performance Of Construction Contracts, Eliot L. Axelrod

University of Dayton Law Review

Specific performance has long been recognized in contract law as the fundamental alternative to monetary relief, when such relief is deemed inadequate. Historically, however, the general rule has been to deny decrees for specific performance when a contract to construct or repair is involved. Reasons traditionally advanced for these denials include the availability of damages as an adequate remedy at law, the lack of sufficient contractual details necessary to fashion a meaningful decree, and the practical difficulties underlying supervision of the contract by the court. Some modern courts, on the other hand, have suggested that the difficulties envisioned by the …

S.B. 165: Comparative Negligence In Ohio, Paul Courtney, Brian Dovi

University of Dayton Law Review

On March 4, 1980, the Ohio General Assembly finally concurred on an amended form of Senate Bill 165, and when the Governor added his signature, Ohio had a comparative negligence statute. The law represents the culmination of long and arduous efforts at compromise in the legislature and follows more than seven years of fierce opposition by insurance companies and the insurance lobby. When the opposition finally withdrew and the last wrinkles were ironed out, the lawmakers devised a mathematical damages apportionment system for negligence cases where contributory negligence is asserted. However, the Act leaves important questions unanswered, and problems which …

Tort Damages: The Adjustment Of Awards For Lost Future Earning Capacity To Compensate For Inflation And Increased Productivity, Thomas J. Hurney Jr.

University of Dayton Law Review

Kaczkowski v. Bolubasz, 491 Pa. 561, 421 A.2d 1027 (1980).

In 1916 the United States Supreme Court mandated that awards for future damages be discounted to their present worth in order to avoid overcompensation of an injured plaintiff. The rationale for discounting was that “a given sum of money in hand is worth more than the like sum of money payable in the future.” Due to increasing realization of the economic effects of inflation, however, many courts are reconsidering “the fairness of basing awards for future damages upon the present purchasing power of the dollar.” In its attempt to reconcile …
