Evidence, Marc T. Treadwell

Mercer Law Review

The survey period saw a number of cases raising significant evidentiary issues but no startling developments. Two areas in particular should be noted. As suggested in last year's survey, lawyers engaged in civil litigation should continue to be aware of decisions addressing the admissibility of collateral source payments and the remedies available when a party improperly injects the issue of collateral source payments. All trial lawyers, especially those engaged in criminal practice, should take note of the continued evolution of the "necessity" exception to the hearsay rule.

Perhaps the most striking development came not from the appellate courts but rather …

Insurance, Ralph F. Simpson

Mercer Law Review

The volume of cases that reached the appellate courts of Georgia during this survey period was greater than last year. The courts decided slightly over fifty cases this year that dealt with insurance issues. Most of these cases originated from the trial courts on declaratory judgment actions. Indeed, over twenty of the cases reviewed in this Article are declaratory judgment actions. The current trend seems to be for the insurer to file a declaratory judgment action to determine coverage issues while attempting to stay the case on the merits that gave rise to those issues. The reason for this is …

Local Government Law, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Mercer Law Review

The world of local government is a place of remarkable occurrences:

At the meeting of the governing authority, the chambers were overflowing, passions were palpable, and the media descended in droves. The vote was taken on the re-zoning petition. The council's vote was evenly split. The newly elected Mayor would have to break the tie. He announced to all that he did not know how he should vote. He then proceeded to toss a coin into the air, explaining that if it was "heads," he would vote "yes," and if it was "tails," he would vote "no." As if in …

Trial Practice And Procedure, C. Frederick Overby, Jason Crawford, Teresa T. Abell

Mercer Law Review

The most interesting and significant developments in the area of trial practice and procedure during the survey period came not from Georgia's appellate courts but from the Georgia General Assembly. This Article will first analyze the significant legislation that came from beneath the gold dome in 1997. It will then review the most significant appellate cases.

Class Action Law In Georgia: Emerging Trends In Litigation, Certification, And Settlement, Jeffrey G. Casurella, John R. Bevis

Mercer Law Review

In the litigation world, few words trigger more attention and more debate than the term "class action." At the term's first appearance, the playing field is set. Plaintiffs urge that class actions are a necessary vehicle to litigate paltry and duplicitous claims otherwise inconvenient or uneconomical to prosecute. In response, defendants argue class actions constitute an abuse complicated by individuality and unmanageability. Rarely do the parties agree to the utility of class actions. Notwithstanding this classic disagreement, this type of litigation serves a useful purpose, filling a vacuum left otherwise empty when legislatures fail to legislate and attorneys general fail …

Business Associations, Paul A. Quirós, Lynn Schutte Scott, Lora A. Tarle

Mercer Law Review

It covers noteworthy cases decided during the survey period by Georgia state and appellate courts, United States district courts located in Georgia, and the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Also included are legislative enactments by the Georgia General Assembly revising the Official Code of Georgia Annotated ("O.C.G.A.").

Direct Demonstration Of Retroviral Recombination In A Rhesus Monkey, Dawn P. Wooley, Randall A. Smith, Susan Czajak, Ronald C. Desrosiers

Neuroscience, Cell Biology & Physiology Faculty Publications

Recombination may be an important mechanism for increasing variation in retroviral populations. Retroviral recombination has been demonstrated in tissue culture systems by artificially creating doubly infected cells. Evidence for retroviral recombination in vivo is indirect and is based principally on the identification of apparently mosaic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 genomes from phylogenetic analyses of viral sequences. We infected a rhesus monkey with two different molecularly cloned strains of simian immunodeficiency virus. One strain of virus had a deletion in vpx and vpr, and the other strain had a deletion in nef. Each strain on its own induced low virus …

A New Legislation: Remarks On The Draft Restatement Of Products Liability, Marshall S. Shapo

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This being a law school in a university, I would like to begin my discussion of the present draft not with doctrinal analysis, but rather by attempting to frame the question from a broader set of perspectives. I shall draw on the intricate relations of law with the society it governs and the reflection of those relations in the literature that remains at the heart of great universities.

Design Defects Under The Proposed Section 2(B) Of The Restatement (Third) Of Torts: Products Liability- A Judge's View, William A. Dreier

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The proposed section 2(b) of the Restatement (Third) of Torts: Products Liability has caused a great deal of controversy, and many are concerned that this section represents a radical change in the law. This Article explains that section 2(b) in fact provides a pragmatic, workable tool for judges and attorneys to explain and prove a manufacturer's liability for a defective product. It sheds much of the baggage of the Restatement (Second) of Torts section 402A and its commentaries, yet preserves the essence of the theory behind section 402A. The criticisms of the new language are adequately met in the comments, …
