The Fifth Amendment And The Inference Of Guilt From Silence: Griffin V. California After Fifteen Years, Donald B. Ayer May 1980

The Fifth Amendment And The Inference Of Guilt From Silence: Griffin V. California After Fifteen Years, Donald B. Ayer

Michigan Law Review

This Article will begin with an examination of the historic (and present) purposes underlying the fifth amendment privilege against self-incrimination, upon which any justification of the no-comment rule must ultimately rest. It will explore the danger that these purposes may be thwarted not only when defendants are actually compelled to be witnesses against themselves, but also when significant burdens are placed on defendants who choose not to testify. In Griffin, the Court reasoned that comment on the defendant's silence amounted to such an impermissible burden. But the Court failed to examine the weight of this burden. This failure makes …


Personal Jurisdiction And Choice Of Law, James Martin May 1980

Personal Jurisdiction And Choice Of Law, James Martin

Michigan Law Review

The time has come for the Supreme Court to declare that a state may not apply its own law to a case unless it has the "minimum contacts" required by International Shoe for the exercise of specific personal jurisdiction over the defendant. Although the present state of the law is less than certain, the Supreme Court has not yet required that a state show it has minimum contacts with a defendant before applying its law. As a result, in some cases where a state has obtained personal jurisdiction because of a defendant's contacts unrelated to the case - contacts such …


Contribution And Antitrust Policy, Michigan Law Review May 1980

Contribution And Antitrust Policy, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note examines the contribution controversy from an antitrust policy perspective. Part I summarizes the Professional Beauty, Abraham Construction, and Olson Farms decisions and sketches the major provisions of the Bayh Bill and the ABA Statute. Part II discusses four antitrust policy goals that figure prominently in both Circuit Court decisions and Congressional debate: fairness, deterrence, promotion of settlement, and reduced complexity of litigation. Part III argues that none of the rigid contribution rules proposed since Professional Beauty achieves the optimal balance of these policy goals. The Note concludes that a flexible rule permitting courts to assess the propriety …


Collateral Estoppel And Supreme Court Disposition Of Moot Cases, Michigan Law Review May 1980

Collateral Estoppel And Supreme Court Disposition Of Moot Cases, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In response to the Government's novel proposal in Velsicol, this Note reconsiders the procedures by which the Supreme Court could dispose of moot cases. Section I examines the collateral estoppel effects of the Supreme Court's present procedure and the Government's proposal in Velsicol. Section II concludes that both procedures afford excessive protection from collateral estoppel because they misconceive the purpose of Supreme Court review. The Note suggests that, when faced with a moot federal petition for certiorari, the Supreme Court should either deny the petition or, if certiorari has already been granted, dismiss the case.


Continuing The Erie Debate: A Response To Westen And Lehman, Martin H. Redish May 1980

Continuing The Erie Debate: A Response To Westen And Lehman, Martin H. Redish

Michigan Law Review

Although the Supreme Court has not spoken in detail on the Erie doctrine since its much-discussed decision in Hanna v. Plumer in 1965, commentary on the doctrine in the literature has undergone something of a "boomlet" in the last several years. Much of it has been stimulated by the groundbreaking article by Professor John Hart Ely in 1974. The latest contribution to the area is the recent article by Professor Peter Westen and Mr. Jeffrey Lehman appearing earlier this year in this journal. Unfortunately, their article does little to advance analysis of the Erie question, and contains numerous fundamental misstatements …

After "Life For Erie--A Reply, Peter Westen May 1980

After "Life For Erie--A Reply, Peter Westen

Michigan Law Review

Erie, having "preoccupied the intellectually dominant group of academic lawyers rising to maturity during the 1940's and 1950's," is reported to be losing its "symbolic centrality" for the newest generation of legal scholars. Professor Redish's prompt and excited response to our essay proves one thing: there is at least one scholar in the country who, having come to legal maturity during the last decade, still remains capable of becoming impassioned about Erie RR v. Tompkins.


The Attorney-Client Privilege After Attorney Disclosure, Michigan Law Review May 1980

The Attorney-Client Privilege After Attorney Disclosure, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note examines the interests that must be balanced in determining when an attorney's disclosure waives the attorney-client privilege. Part I presents three judicial standards defining the class of attorney disclosures that waive the privilege: the traditional client consent rule that only attorney disclosures to which the client has consented constitute waiver; the broader "implied authority" view that attorney disclosures made with the client's consent or with an intent to further the client's cause constitute waiver; and the still more expansive view that all attorney disclosures falling within the scope of the attorney's agency authority to act for the client …
