The 1986 General Assembly may be remembered as much for what it did not do as for what it did. Carried over into the next session was House Bill 810, which would have abolished dower and curtesy in favor of a statutory share for the surviving spouse in the deceased spouse's estate. Of course, passage of this bill would have ushered in significant change in the practice of decedents' estates. Significantly, passage of the bill also would have legislatively overruled recent judicial and legislative activity which has created the sole and separate estate, for both female and male, allowing circumvention …

History:
The Law School was established as a department of Richmond College in 1870. In 1890 the family of the late T. C . Williams, who had been a devoted and valued Trustee, donated $25,000 as the nucleus of an endowment for the Law School. In recognition of this gift, the name of the School was changed to The T. C . Williams School of Law. At various times the School has received further generous gifts from members of the family of Mr. Williams. A substantial gift came through a bequest from Mr. T. C. Williams, Jr. who, like his …
Dodging A Bullet, But Opening Old Wounds In Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence, Ronald J. Bacigal
Dodging A Bullet, But Opening Old Wounds In Fourth Amendment Jurisprudence, Ronald J. Bacigal
Law Faculty Publications
The Court began its opinion in Winston by "putting to one side the procedural protections of the warrant requirement. " The parties agreed that the defendant had received "a full measure of procedural protections"and that the state had met the "ordinary" standard of probable cause for a search. "Notwithstanding the existence of probable cause" and the state's full compliance with the procedures required by the warrant clause, the Court found that the reasonableness clause of the fourth amendment demands "a more substantial justification" than probable cause. The Court viewed this higher level of justification as a substantive requirement of the …

U.C.C. Survey: General Provisions, Bulk Transfers, And Documents Of Title, David Frisch
Law Faculty Publications
A drafting compromise by the U.C.C. drafters in section 1-105 dictated the state having an "appropriate relation" to govern choice of law problems in the absence of a contractual clause, and if there is a clause, a "reasonable relation" to the state selected. The purpose was to leave choice of law problems to the general rules of the common law. Thus, some courts in breach of warranty cases continue to apply the tests of "place of injury" for personal injury suits and "place of contracting" for what does not involve personal injury, while others look for the state having the …
Why You Need A Will - A Pamphlet That Explains The Need To A Layperson, J. Rodney Johnson
Why You Need A Will - A Pamphlet That Explains The Need To A Layperson, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
The education of clients and potential clients is an essential cornerstone to the practice of preventive law. A valuable tool that can be used in such education is printed material that explains, in approach and language that can be understood easily by laypersons, the how's and why's of the legal system.
The following material by Professor Johnson is an excellent example of the type of material a firm could prepare for distribution to its clients or potential clients. Obviously, this material is presented merely as an example, and each such pamphlet, of course, would have to be tailored to the …

Implied Hearsay, Ronald J. Bacigal
Implied Hearsay, Ronald J. Bacigal
Law Faculty Publications
Lawyers sometimes exaggerate the significance of a single sentence or footnote in a court opinion. At other times a single phrase may turn out to be a time bomb which subsequently explodes with far reaching result:i. Court watchers thus spend considerable time trying to discern what is implied within the literal language of a court's opinion. It is no small irony that one of the latest implications in a Virginia Supreme Court decision relates to the implications contained within an out-of-court statement that cannot be literally defined as hearsay. A modification of the hearsay rule, or at least the hearsay …
An Alternative Approach To The Good Faith Controversy, Ronald J. Bacigal
An Alternative Approach To The Good Faith Controversy, Ronald J. Bacigal
Law Faculty Publications
This Article examines the role of police motivation in all facets of fourth amendment jurisprudence and demonstrates that the Court has often considered good faith as one relevant but ill-defined factor in determining substantive aspects of the fourth amendment. The Article concludes that this ambiguous and flexible approach to substantive fourth amendment rights should be utilized when applying the remedy of exclusion.
Moderating Antitrust Subject Matter Jurisdiction: The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act And The Restatement Of Foreign Relations Law (Revised), Daniel T. Murphy
Moderating Antitrust Subject Matter Jurisdiction: The Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act And The Restatement Of Foreign Relations Law (Revised), Daniel T. Murphy
Law Faculty Publications
Within the last several years two approaches have been taken to tempering the extraterritorial application of the United States antitrust laws. In October 1982 the Foreign Trade Antitrust Improvements Act of 1982 (the "FTAIA") was signed into law. In addition, for the past four years the American Law Institute has been engaged in an effort to revise thoroughly the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law of the United States. It is expected that this effort will culminate in May 1986 with the promulgation of the Restatement of Foreign Relations Law of the United States (Revised) (the "Restatement (Revised)"). These two efforts …

This article considers recent developments in the field of Virginia civil procedure and practice, including statutes, rules of court, and opinions of the Supreme Court of Virginia and the Court of Appeals of Virginia that have appeared between May 1985 and May 1986. This article also comments on cases in volumes three and four of Virginia Circuit Court Opinions, many of which were decided before 1985, but it is appropriate to mention them here since they were only recently made generally available through publication. There have been no major changes in the area of Virginia civil procedure during the period …
Interspousal Tort Immunity In Montana, Carl W. Tobias
Interspousal Tort Immunity In Montana, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
Interspousal tort immunity has a lengthy, rich, and interesting history. But since 1970, courts and legislatures have been increasingly willing to abolish immunity, transforming it into a minority rule which appears destined for widespread elimination by the year 2000. Montana's recent experience is typical. In 1979, the Legislature abolished the rule for intentional torts. However, the Montana Supreme Court has retained the doctrine in the negligence context. The court has recently agreed to reconsider negligence immunity and, should it refuse to change the rule, the Legislature may well address the issue. Thus, it is now appropriate to analyze whether Montana …
Great Expectations And Mismatched Compensation: Government Sponsored Public Participation In Proceedings Of The Consumer Product Safety Commission, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
During the last twenty years, numerous proposals for enhancing the quality of federal administrative agency decisionmaking have been offered, but few actually were implemented. One controversial approach, with which fourteen agencies experimented, has been the reimbursement of non-regulated individuals and organizations for the costs of their involvement in administrative proceedings. A principal purpose of that public funding was to improve agency decisionmaking by rectifying the participatory imbalance between regulated parties and non-commercial interests involved in administrative initiatives; however, little of the government- supported citizen activity that occurred has been analyzed. Participant compensation effectively has been discontinued and most agency proceedings …

Wills, Trusts And Estates (Annual Survey Of Virginia Law, 1985-86), J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
The 1986 session of the General Assembly passed eight bills dealing with wills, trusts, and estates. In addition to this legislation, there were four cases from the Virginia Supreme Court and one case from the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals during the past year that involved issues of interest to both the general practitioner and the specialist in wills, trusts, and estates. This article reviews all of these legislative and judicial developments. In order to facilitate the discussion of numerous Virginia Code sections they will be referred to in the text by their section numbers only. These section numbers will …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Administrative Procedure, John Paul Jones
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Administrative Procedure, John Paul Jones
University of Richmond Law Review
Since the last report, administrative law in Virginia has continued to develop on both the legislative and judicial fronts. This year's General Assembly enacted amendments to the state's administrative procedure statute which embody the third and final round of recommendations by the Governor's Regulatory Reform Advisory Board. The major changes were the standardization of procedures for obtaining judicial review of state agency action and the embodiment in statute of a corps of independent hearing officers.
Note: This submission also includes a small preface from the Law Review Editorial Staff.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
After unusual activity at both the federal and state levels in the previous year, this past year was a relatively uneventful one where the law of juvenile delinquency was concerned. The historic jail removal legislation enacted at the 1985 session of the Virginia General Assembly became fully effective on July 1, 1986. The provisions of this legislation severely limit the use of an adult jail for juvenile detention purposes and completely ban the dispositional use of such a facility for juveniles.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Virginia Criminal Procedure, Ronald J. Bacigal
University of Richmond Law Review
Reversing a recent trend, the past year was relatively quiet with respect to search and seizure cases. The United States Supreme Court decided two cases dealing with open fields and the curtilage of a dwelling. Dow Chemical Co. v. United States held that the open areas of an industrial plant complex with numerous plant structures spread over an area of 2,000 acres are not analogous to the "curtilage" of a dwelling for purposes of aerial surveillance; such an industrial complex "is more comparable to an open field and as such is open to the view and observation of persons in …
Recent Developments In Virginia Workers' Compensation And Other Employment Laws, Janice R. Moore
Recent Developments In Virginia Workers' Compensation And Other Employment Laws, Janice R. Moore
University of Richmond Law Review
This survey covers Virginia court decisions affecting the employment relation directly or indirectly, including the Virginia Supreme Court, the Virginia Court of Appeals, and published decisions of various circuit courts. Because this subject area has not been included in earlier surveys of Virginia law, this survey covers the years 1985 and 1986. During this time, Virginia courts have interpreted the rights and duties of employers and employees under the workers' compensation and unemployment compensation statutes; they have examined the remedies available under Virginia law for allegedly tortious conduct in the context of a labor dispute; they have reexamined the employment-at-will …

Federal And State Remedies To Clean Up Hazardous Waste Sites, Janis L. Kirkland, James A. Thornhill
Federal And State Remedies To Clean Up Hazardous Waste Sites, Janis L. Kirkland, James A. Thornhill
University of Richmond Law Review
Over fifty-seven million metric tons of hazardous waste are produced as a by-product of manufacturing in the United States each year. Only ten percent of this waste is disposed of in an environmentally sound manner. The improper disposal of hazardous waste has given rise to crisis areas of national notoriety such as "Love Canal" and "Valley of the Drums." Although the danger to public health and the environment cannot be precisely calculated, the disposal of hazardous waste presents a problem that can no longer be ignored. Virginia's own experience with kepone contamination in the James River exemplifies the dangers and …
Virginia's Jury Exemptions: Ripe For Reform, T. S. Ellis Iii, J. Thomas O'Brien Jr.
Virginia's Jury Exemptions: Ripe For Reform, T. S. Ellis Iii, J. Thomas O'Brien Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Jury exemptions are frequent targets of derisory comment. Who among us has not heard of the proverbial litigant who, upon hearing his lawyer describe juries and jury exemptions, remarked that only a fool would place his fate in the hands of seven or twelve people who were not smart enough to get excused through an exemption. Indeed, the number and scope of jury exemptions have grown so substantially over the years that it is not unreasonable to suppose that jury non-service is now the norm and jury service the exception.
