All Or Nothing, Or Maybe Cooperation: Attorney General Power, Conduct, And Judgment In Relation To The Work Of An Independent Counsel, John Q. Barrett Jan 1998

All Or Nothing, Or Maybe Cooperation: Attorney General Power, Conduct, And Judgment In Relation To The Work Of An Independent Counsel, John Q. Barrett

Faculty Publications

This Article considers the allocation of power under the independent counsel law between the Attorney General along with the Department of Justice and the independent counsel whose appointment the Attorney General has triggered. Although the law explicitly transfers much of an Attorney General's lawful power to an independent counsel, it does not go far enough in reallocating that power. Thus, it leaves a fundamental gap between what the current statute purports independent counsel to be and what it actually empowers independent counsel to accomplish. After an introduction in Part I, Part II of this article reviews the current legal provisions, …

Subrogation Of Personal Injury Claims: Toward Ending An Inequitable Practice, Keith E. Edeus Jr. Jul 1997

Subrogation Of Personal Injury Claims: Toward Ending An Inequitable Practice, Keith E. Edeus Jr.

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This comment examines the application of the principles of subrogation in the personal injury context. Current law in most states, including Illinois, allows insurance companies to recover their subrogation interests even when insureds have not been made whole. The author suggests legislative and judicial approaches for limiting the applicability of subrogation in such situations.

Inside The Law: Canadian Law Firms In Historical Perspective, Douglas C. Harris Apr 1997

Inside The Law: Canadian Law Firms In Historical Perspective, Douglas C. Harris

Dalhousie Law Journal

This collection of essays edited by Carol Wilton' chronicles the changing character of Canadian law firms from the "golden age" of the sole practitioner in the nineteenth century to the mega-firms of the late twentieth. Most of the essays describe the changing profession through a case study of a single lawyer or firm, and Wilton has collected a representative sample of firms from across the country. Some of the firms remained small or disappeared, while others grew into full-service corporate commercial law firms of several hundred lawyers. Most of the essays focus on the personalities of the lawyers involved, their …

The Illinois Superfund Law Prior To The Brownfields Legislation, James T. Harrington Jul 1996

The Illinois Superfund Law Prior To The Brownfields Legislation, James T. Harrington

Northern Illinois University Law Review

This article examines the state of law for landowner liability caused by the release or threat of release of "hazardous substances" in Illinois prior to the enactment of the Brownfields Act. It demonstrates the inadequacies of not only Illinois Superfund law, but federal law's attempts to find landowners liable for environmental cleanup without having reasonable and knowable standards, known procedures, and reasonably predictable results. The article concludes by underscoring the fact that without remedying these inadequacies, viable land will remain undeveloped and unproductive, and will drain community resources.

The (Social And Economic Paradigm Of Racism And Its Impact On The Educational And Professional Experiences Of Seven African-American Attorneys In Oklahoma City, Tynan D. Anderson

McCabe Thesis Collection

Through the years Blacks have struggled for equality from the right to sit anywhere they chose on a bus to the right to eat in any restaurant. One of the most significant areas of struggle has been equal employment opportunities for Black professionals. The number of Black professionals has increased through the years; however, this increase is minimal when compared to the overall number of professionals in the United States. For example, "the number of Black attorneys has increased by 600% over the past seventeen years... [yet] they only constitute four percent of the total number of lawyers in the …

American Indians And The Burger Court, John R. Hermann, Karen O'Connor

Political Science Faculty Research

Objective. Like many politically disadvantaged groups, American Indian interests have turned to the courts when they lack access or clout in the electoral process.

An Attorney's Right To Retain Fees Derived From A Fraudulent Law Suit, Leonard D. Pertnoy Jan 1996

An Attorney's Right To Retain Fees Derived From A Fraudulent Law Suit, Leonard D. Pertnoy

St. Thomas Law Review

The remedy of restitution, used to prevent unjust enrichment, is a fundamental right firmly entrenched in the common law. This is especially true in cases where a victim seeks equitable relief to require the return of money or property obtained as a result of fraud. However, should the defrauded person always be entitled to be made whole? Similarly, the remedy of forfeiture is also a deeply rooted legal concept, finding its beginnings in early English common law. Originally, forfeiture was a punishment annexed by law to some illegal act. However, the concept of deodand now not only includes forfeiture of …

Tour On The Prairies Or Washington Irving And The Horseless Headman: A Stroll With Congress, The Court And Indian Nations At The Turn Of The Century, Kirke Kickingbird

St. Thomas Law Review

The view of the sovereignty of Indian nations varies within the ever-changing cycles of policy spanning two or three decades. Often, the different branches of the United States government have had conflicting points of view regarding Indian sovereignty. One can see moments in the distant past when tribal authority was clearly recognized, then challenged, then ignored and recognized again, as the cycle of Indian policy returned to its beginnings. The clear manifestation of sovereign power is exhibited in the exercise of governmental authority. This exercise, in turn, involves the use of legislative, executive, and judicial powers. While these observations may …

Northern Illinois University Law Review
