Damages—Additur And Its Use In Nebraska, James W. Hewitt

Nebraska Law Review

A recent Nebraska case, outlining the present law on remittitur, evokes a discussion of additur. Additur is the procedural opposite of remittitur. It has been rarely invoked in Nebraska, but the possibility of its use presents a question of general interest.

I. How is additur used?

II. Why additur?

III. Constitutional problems

Conclusion

Extra-Judicial Confessions — Sufficiency Of Corroboration, Lawrence L. Wilson

Nebraska Law Review

To convict a person of a felony, the criminal law requires that the corpus delicti be established beyond a reasonable doubt. The corpus delicti is made up of three elements: (1) there must be an injury or loss; (2) the injury or loss must result from the doing of a criminal act; and (3) the accused must be identified as the doer of the criminal act. Unless the accused confesses or admits the crime, all three of these elements must be proved by competent evidence which will exclude all reasonable doubt of his guilt. Where there is an infra-judicial confession, …

Nebraska Statutory Revision Of Punishment Of Sex Offenders, James W. Hewitt

Nebraska Law Review

A recent amendment to the Nebraska statutes provides that whosoever should debauch the person or deprave the morals of a minor; fondle a child under 16 in a lewd manner; or expose his person to a child under 16 should be guilty of a felony upon the first conviction, and should be liable to fine, or imprisonment, or both. It is further provided that if the person commits a second offense of the same nature, psychiatric examination of the offender before sentencing is required. If examination discloses sexual perversion, the offender is to be confined in a mental institution; if …

The Occurrence Of Ornithodiplostomum Ptychocheilus (Faust) (Trematoda: Strigeida) In Fish And Birds, Glenn L. Hoffman

United States Fish and Wildlife Service: Publications

The metacercaria of Ornithodiplostomum ptychocheilush as been reported by Faust (1918; Illinois Biological Monographs 4(1): 1-120) from mesenteries of the squawfish, Ptychocheilus oregonensis (Richardson), and by Hughes and Piszcek (1928; Journal of Parasitology 15: 58-62) and Van Haitsma (1930; Transactions of the American Microscopical Society 49: 140-153) in the northeastern sand shiner, Notropis deliciosus stramineus (Cope). Van Haitsma (1930) found the adults in mergansers, Mergus americanus, M. serrator, Lophodytes cucullatus, and the old squaw duck, Harelda hyemalis. He also reared the metacercaria to the adult in young domestic ducks. Lyster (1940; Canadian Journal of Research 18D: 79-82) reported …

The Private Corporate Entity On The International Plane, Henry M. Gallagher Jr.

Nebraska Law Review

Protection of a client’s assets in a foreign country has always been one of a lawyer’s most uncertain problems. Today, with international trade depending increasingly upon foreign corporate entities, the protection of foreign assets is even more difficult than before. And the difficulty is the price which must be paid for benefits derived from organizing some form of legal person under foreign laws for the purpose of conducting foreign business. Preservation of the value of assets held by such organizations often depends upon whether a tribunal will look through the formal corporate organization to the ultimate owner and consider his …

The False Pretenses Statute In Nebraska, Alfred W. Blessing

Nebraska Law Review

Nebraska's criminal code is relatively unique in that false promises as distinguished from misrepresentations of past or existing facts are included within the ambit of the statutory crime of obtaining property by false pretenses. This crime, a late-comer to the larceny family, was designed to bridge the gap between larceny by trick or devise and the limited common law offense of cheating. In most states this statutory innovation requires proof of a false misrepresentation as to facts past or existing. A false pretense as to something which will happen in the future or a mere promise to do something is …

The Indonesian Dispute In The Security Council, Robert L. Munkres

Open Access Master's Theses (through 2010)

When the situation in Indonesia was brought to the attention of the Security Council in January, 1946, and again in July, 1947, a new step was taken in the field of international organization; for the first time an international organizations, the United Nations, was dealing with the problem of a colony seeking to become independent of its mother country. While one may be critical of the procedure and methods which were used by the Security Council, such an attitude must be tempered with the realization of the enormous difficulties which exist when a new type of problem is considered for …

British Land Policy And The American Revolution: A Belated Lecture In Economic History, George O. Virtue

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

If this were spoken from a pulpit instead of from a teacher's rostrum, I should be disposed to take as a text for what follows a passage from C. W. Alvord's study of The Mississippi Valley in British Politics. From the middle of the 18th century to the Revolution, how to deal with the great valley was, Alvord holds, the number one American problem of every British ministry: How to meet the claims of France to it and how to defend it once her claims were extinguished; how to meet the claims to it of the seaboard colonies by virtue …

Recent Cases: Constitutional Law — Aliens — Right Of Due Process In Exclusion Proceedings, Ronald W. Hunter

Nebraska Law Review

An alien, who had resided in the United States for twenty-five years, had married an American citizen and had purchased a home in the United States, left this country to visit his dying mother in Roumania. Upon his return, he was excluded from the United States by order of the Attorney General for "security reasons," without a hearing and without being advised of the reason for his exclusion. After detention on Ellis Island for twenty-five months, while attempts to deport him failed because other countries refused to accept him, he sought release by habeas corpus, alleging unlawful confinement. The District …

The Lag Between Scientific Discoveries And Legal Procedures, Frederick K. Beutel

Nebraska Law Review

It is a generally recognized fact that law and legal procedures lag far behind any type of social change. This is true even in matters of change in social custom, religion, and habits of the people. But it seems to be far more marked when one approaches the problem of picking up scientific developments and transposing them to be used as tools in legal and governmental procedures. The reasons for the failure of the legal system immediately to adopt scientific innovations are numerous. Many of them are found in the nature of the legal system itself. Its ancient origins, written …

John Wesley Powell: Frontiersman Of Science, Paul Meadows

University Studies (University of Nebraska) (1888–1984)

I should explain that this book is more or less an accident. It started with a suggestion by my friend and former colleague, the late Joseph Kinsey Howard, that the Major was worth knowing. A Montana newspaperman and writer, Howard had been impressed by the amazing far-sightedness of Powell's report, published in 1878, on the arid lands of the West. At the time I was preparing a report of my own for a Rockefeller Foundation research project in the humanities. Upon reading the Major's study of the arid lands, it occurred to me that it would be profitable to review …
