The Price-Anderson Public Liability Action And Strict Liability, Donald E. Jose, Michael A. Garza
The Price-Anderson Public Liability Action And Strict Liability, Donald E. Jose, Michael A. Garza
ExpressO
Nuclear Power and nuclear weapons plants seem to be an ultrahazardous activity for which strict liability should apply. However, unusual provisions of the Price-Anderson Act serve to shield nuclear power and nuclear weapons plants and associated activities from strict liability unless the federaq agency regulating the activity determins that a special from of strict liability can be applied.
Multi-Tiered Marriage: Ideas And Influences From New York And Louisiana To The International Community, Joel A. Nichols
Multi-Tiered Marriage: Ideas And Influences From New York And Louisiana To The International Community, Joel A. Nichols
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Article contends that society in the United States needs to hold a genuine discussion about alternatives to current conceptions of marriage and family law jurisdiction. Specifically, the Article suggests that the civil government should consider ceding some of its jurisdictional authority over marriage and divorce law to religious communities that are competent and capable of adjudicating the marital rites and rights of their respective adherents. There is historical precedent and preliminary movement toward this end--both within and without the United States--which might serve as the framework for further discussions. Within the United States, the relatively new covenant marriage statutes …
No-Drop Civil Protection Orders: Exploring The Bounds Of Judicial Intervention In The Lives Of Domestic Violence Victims, Tamara L. Kuennen
No-Drop Civil Protection Orders: Exploring The Bounds Of Judicial Intervention In The Lives Of Domestic Violence Victims, Tamara L. Kuennen
Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship
Whatever approach a judge takes to a victim's motion to vacate, there will be a risk. Women who are victims of domestic violence will be threatened or hurt or even killed, and the danger of this happening may increase or decrease based in part on the judge's decision. In the face of such risk, this article argues that on balance, the cost of sacrificing victim autonomy in these cases is too great, and that courts should defer to the victim's decision to vacate, except in the limited circumstance in which doing so is detrimental to an identifiable third party - …
Quantum Meruit And The Restatement (Third) Of Restitution And Unjust Enrichment, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Quantum Meruit And The Restatement (Third) Of Restitution And Unjust Enrichment, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: Thirty years ago, Professor Graham Douthwaite said that restitution can "arise in a bedazzling variety of situations."' He also said that practitioners usually are not aware of "the restitutionary implications or potential" of their clients' problems. Over 50 years ago, Professor John Dawson said that "[i]t is doubtful even now whether most lawyers have an adequate conception of the range and resources of the remedy." About twenty years ago, I said of Professor Dawson's statement, "It is doubtful whether the situation has much improved in the last thirty years." Unfortunately, I can still repeat that concern.

Efigie De Luigi Corsaro, Leysser L. Leon
Leysser L. León
Ha fallecido en Perugia, a los 72 años, el Prof. Luigi Corsaro (1940-2012), que auspició y dirigió mis investigaciones jurídicas e interdisciplinarias por seis años (2000-2005). En el 2007, a pedido de una revista dirigida y editada por varios de mis alumnos más destacados, escribí estas páginas evocativas de sus enseñanzas y de su papel en mi formación académica. Las vuelvo a publicar, por este medio, confiando en que pueda difundirse entre el mayor público posible (especialmente entre los jóvenes estudiantes) la imagen de un jurista, de un Maestro cuyas lecciones universitarias y de vida me acompañarán por siempre.
La Buena Fe En La Negociación De Los Contratos: Apuntes Comparatísticos Sobre El Artículo 1362 Del Código Civil Peruano Y Su Presunto Papel Como Fundamento De La Responsabilidad Precontractual (2004), Leysser L. Leon
Leysser L. León
En este artículo, se efectúa un análisis histórico y comparativo de la responsabilidad civil por daños ocasionados durante los tratos previos al contrato.
A propósito, se demuestra, con los mismos instrumentos metodológicos, por qué las cláusulas normativas generales (Generalklauseln) son inapropiadas en ordenamientos jurídicos como el peruano, y por qué son aplicables a esta hipótesis de ilícito civil las reglas de la responsabilidad aquiliana o extracontractual (artículo 1969º del Código Civil peruano).
Legal Deterrence: The Foundation Of Corporate Governance—Evidence From China, Zhong Zhang Dr
Legal Deterrence: The Foundation Of Corporate Governance—Evidence From China, Zhong Zhang Dr
Zhong Zhang Dr
To evaluate the Chinese government’s recent market-orientated efforts to promote good corporate governance, this paper conducts a re-examination of the working mechanics for market competition and other market-based governance mechanisms to ensure good corporate governance. The finding is that the utility of market mechanisms may have been overstated. Not only are they not effective in disciplining serious one-off managerial misbehaviour which offers managers more gains than losses, even their limited value to discourage such misbehaviour as managerial shirking is also conditioned upon a successful curb on one-off misbehaviour. On the contrary, the importance of deterrence from legal liability may have …
Driving Through The Dense Fog: Analysis Of And Proposed Changes To Ohio Tortious Interference Law, Eric P. Voigt
Driving Through The Dense Fog: Analysis Of And Proposed Changes To Ohio Tortious Interference Law, Eric P. Voigt
Eric P. Voigt
This Article summarizes and analyzes each element of a claim for tortious interference with a contract or a business relationship under Ohio law. It argues that certain conduct should constitute tortious interference and that other conduct should not. Although my Article focuses on Ohio law, it has a national application. The Article argues that the law of tortious interference should be developed to further competition, to protect the contractual rights of parties, and to encourage freedom of action for the alleged interferer.
This Article (1) discusses when businesses and competitors may lawfully interfere with the contracts or business relationships of …

Development Of Subsidiarity Via Civil And Common Law Jurisprudential Epistemology, William Pieratt Demond
Development Of Subsidiarity Via Civil And Common Law Jurisprudential Epistemology, William Pieratt Demond
Theses
This article seeks to justify an examination of subsidiarity's development within Catholicism. Due to the fact that the European Union ["EU"] codified subsidiarity via the Treaty of Maastricht, subsidiarity is now a part of EU law. Although seemingly intended to resolve questions concerning the proper allocation of powers, its codification has generated substantial debate concerning the proper meaning(s) (if any) and/or application(s) of subsidiarity within the EU.
Due to the facts that 1) the EU's legal traditions are heavily influenced by both the civil and common law traditions, 2) both of these traditions advocate the use of established jurisprudential methodologies …

Can Plaintiffs Use Multinational Environmental Treaties As Customary International Law To Sue Under The Alien Tort Statute?, Bradford Mank
Can Plaintiffs Use Multinational Environmental Treaties As Customary International Law To Sue Under The Alien Tort Statute?, Bradford Mank
Faculty Articles and Other Publications
The Alien Tort Statute (ATS) provides that the district courts shall have original jurisdiction over any civil action by an alien for a tort only, committed in violation of the law of nations or a treaty of the United States. Several decisions have rejected environmental claims under the ATS because they read the ATS narrowly to protect only the most fundamental international human rights such as those prohibiting torture or war crimes and have been unwilling to accept broader claims to a right to life or a healthy environment. In 2002, in Sarei v. Rio Tinto PLC, the District Court …

The Trial Of Zacarias Moussaoui, Douglas O. Linder
The Trial Of Zacarias Moussaoui, Douglas O. Linder
Faculty Works
On the horrific morning of September 11, 2001, when planes crashed into buildings and fell from the sky, Zacarias Moussaoui was sitting in a jail in Minnesota facing immigration charges. Even if he had not been arrested three weeks earlier, when he raised suspicion by paying large sums to a flight training school to learn to pilot a Boeing 747 despite his never having piloted a small plane, it seems unlikely that Moussaoui would have been the twentieth hijacker on one of the four doomed planes. Nonetheless, largely because of the convenient fact that he was alive and in custody, …

The Effect Of Risk On Legal Valuation, Robert J. Rhee
The Effect Of Risk On Legal Valuation, Robert J. Rhee
University of Colorado Law Review
From a financial economic perspective, the governing condition of a meritorious civil action is the uncertainty of outcome. Expectation and outcome deviate, and the spread is the measure of uncertainty (or variance). During litigation each party has an option to settle or select trial. The decision standard can be seen as an option strike price and a finding of liability as an "in-the-money" call option. This apparent optionality suggests the application of an option pricing model to legal valuation, and a small but growing body of scholarship endorses this concept. However, option theory is not the only concept. Under an …
Punitive Damages In The United States, Jack M. Beermann
Punitive Damages In The United States, Jack M. Beermann
Faculty Scholarship
his article is an attempt to acquaint the reader with contemporary legal issues surrounding punitive damages in the United States. Pursuant to U.S. federalism, most private law in the United States is state law and can vary significantly from state to state. Contract law, tort (injury) law, property law and criminal law are mainly state law. Many of these areas are governed largely by common law which means that there are no statutes, and courts make the law in the course of resolving individual legal controversies. It is the state common law of injury that allows punitive damages in the …
