Insurance, Maximilian A. Pock

Mercer Law Review

A few prefatory and quite impressionistic observations seem warranted. The annual stream of substantive "insurance" cases, and cases that have an "insurance" integument, continues unabated. Georgia has definitely joined the ranks of "tastemaker" states that have a decided influence on the evolution of insurance law, as is evidenced by the frequent appearance of Georgia decisions in our leading law school casebooks.

The new user-friendly "easy reading" policies are surfacing in ever increasing numbers in our appellate jurisprudence. Whatever their intrinsic merits, these policies seem to absorb more judge-time because they do not, as yet, travel with the baggage of decades …

Appeals, Interlocutory And Discretionary Applications, And Post-Judgment Motions In The Georgia Courts: The Current Practice And The Need For Reform Legislation, Edward C. Brewer Iii

Mercer Law Review

The old saying, "appellate judges spend all of their time looking for error, while trial judges spend all of theirs seeking the truth" has no justice to it, however accurate its literal description of the litigation process.' It is correct, however, that before the search for truth can begin at the appellate level, the supreme court or court of appeals must look for any error concerning the timeliness of the appeal. The practicing attorney, therefore, must know whether an order or judgment is appealable; and if so, when, where, and how should it be appealed?

Local Government Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Mercer Law Review

In a year defined by global realignment, juristic unions that were are no more. As flags fell from legal fortresses previously deemed impregnable, precepts formerly unthinkable coalesced into startling staples of litigational performance. In sharp contrast to this panorama of pandemonium, the banner of local government law never dipped; indeed, its proud and uninterrupted summitry gave classic illustration to the diplomatic art of staying the course. Its judicial decisions marked the domains of boundary conundrums, and its statutes sought settlement of analytical quandaries. In cold war's wake, law's universe hailed one clear winner: the law of local government.

Construction Law, Brian J. Morrissey, Matthew W. Wallace

Mercer Law Review

Nowhere is the downturn in the economy more pronounced than in the construction industry. Contractors and subcontractors are going out of business with increasing frequency. When a party to a construction project defaults on its obligations, everyone else involved in the project is affected. Material suppliers may have been left unpaid, the bank must examine its potential liability, the surety must determine its exposure, and above all else, the work.must be completed. The cases and legislation during this survey period reflect this aspect of the construction industry.

The most significant event during the survey period was the enactment of new …

Torts, Cynthia Trimboli Adams, Charles R. Adams Iii

Mercer Law Review

One hundred years ago, on a stultifyingly hot summer morning, Andrew Borden, a wealthy, eccentric miser, and his second wife, Abby, were brutally hacked to death in their tiny home in Fall River, Massachusetts.' The peaceful community was shattered by this gruesome event and by the sensational murder trial of Mr. Borden's younger daughter, Elizabeth Andrew Borden. Following her unexpected acquittal, the increasingly reclusive Miss Borden lived on in Fall River, enjoying her inherited wealth, but always a social outcast, taunted by the children chanting just beyond her garden wall:

Lizzie Borden took an ax, Gave her mother forty whacks. …

A Qualitative View Of The Educational Experiences Of Black African Students At Brigham Young University, Khumbulani Desmond Mdletshe

Student Works

Black African students first began enrolling at Brigham Young University (BYU) in the mid 1960's. Most were from Nigeria and Ghana, having been sent by their governments to receive a higher education. In the late 1970's, students from other Black African countries began enrolling at BYU. But in the 1980's, government support was not as strong. As one former BYU graduate student from Nigeria put it: "When I first came here in 1980 there were at least 30 Nigerian students. There were so many of them because the government was sponsoring them. Now the numbers have decreased because the government …

Fantasy Proneness And Psychological Coping, Kenneth D. Huff

Theses and Dissertations

In this study, objective measures of self-esteem, satisfaction with life, trait anxiety, and schizotypal psychopathology were administered to 493 subjects representing the full range of fantasy proneness as determined by their scores on the Inventory of Childhood Memories and Imaginings (ICMI); in addition, subjects selected for high, medium, and low levels of fantasy proneness were administered measures of state anxiety and coping skills during a stressful laboratory condition. This was done in order to contribute to the construct validity of fantasy proneness and to provide empirical inquiry into the nature of fantasy proneness as a psychological coping strategy.

Intrusion And The Investigative Reporter, Lyrissa Barnett Lidsky

UF Law Faculty Publications

In an award-winning series of Houston Chronicle articles, reporter Nancy Stancill uncovered shocking conditions in Texas nursing homes. However, reforms were not implemented until 20/20, following Stancill's lead, conducted a three-month, undercover investigation of the treatment of elderly residents at Texas state and private nursing home facilities.

By employing subterfuge to gather news, the 20/20 reporters enhanced the immediacy and credibility of the resulting story. As one journalist argued, "[J]ust describing the conditions wouldn't have cut it. They had to be seen."

Using the 20/20 case as a paradigm, this Note argues that, in order to distinguish protected newsgathering activity …
