Constitutional Civil Law, Albert Sidney Johnson
Constitutional Civil Law, Albert Sidney Johnson
Mercer Law Review
During the 1994 survey period, the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit experienced a period of consolidation and clarification in constitutional civil law. The application of the clearly established law test in qualified immunity determinations has become more consistent, favoring a fact-specific, circuit-based precedent rather than the more generalized test sometime applied by individual panels.
Several cases with constitutional implications were revisited en banc during the survey period producing a variety of results. In public employment cases and land use cases involving state created property rights, the Eleventh Circuit has retrenched and virtually abandoned any recognition of …
Common Sense And Other Legal Reforms, Carl Tobias
Common Sense And Other Legal Reforms, Carl Tobias
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Contract with America (the "Contract") was the centerpiece of the Republican Party's strategy in the 1994 congressional campaigns. The Common Sense Legal Reforms Act (CSLRA") was the ninth tenet and a critical constituent of the Contract, which the Republican Party promised that the new Congress would vote upon within one hundred days. Once the Grand Old Party swept into office, capturing the House of Representatives for the first time in four decades, many members of Congress were expressly committed to honoring the Contract with America. Accordingly, nearly one hundred Republican sponsors introduced the Common Sense Legal Reforms Act during …

With The Legislature's Permission And The Supreme Court"S Consent, Common Law Social Host Liability Returns To Minnesota, Michael K. Steenson
Faculty Scholarship
In 1990, the Minnesota Legislature amended the Civil Damage Act to allow for common law tort claims against persons 21 years old or older who knowingly provide alcohol to a person under 21 years of age. The 1990 amendment is unique because the legislature in effect appears to be releasing its stranglehold on liquor liability law, permitting the courts to apply common law negligence principles under the defined circumstances, but without providing any guidelines as to how the common law remedy should be formulated. The interpretive problems the amendment creates will eventually have to be resolved by the courts. The …
The O.J. Inquisition: A United States Encounter With Continental Criminal Justice, Myron Moskovitz
The O.J. Inquisition: A United States Encounter With Continental Criminal Justice, Myron Moskovitz
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
October 3, 1995 marked the end of the O.J. Simpson double murder trial, which lasted 474 days and was billed "the trial of the century." After less than four hours of deliberation, the jury acquitted Mr. Simpson of all charges. The following article is a dramatization of how a case similar to the Simpson trial might be handled by a civil-law European criminal justice system.
Utilizing an unusual format, Professor Myron Moskovitz examines and illustrates the differences between the United States and civil-law European criminal justice systems. The author uses a play script inspired by the events in the trial …

The Future Of Europe Lies In Waste, Daniel W. Simcox
The Future Of Europe Lies In Waste, Daniel W. Simcox
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This Note suggests that waste issues provide valuable insight into the European Community. As the Community has developed more fully into a common market, the movement of waste across national borders has caused concern in some member states. Waste has flowed from states with more restrictive environmental standards to those with less restrictive standards. In some states, the perceived increase in waste importation gave rise to public outcry for laws that banned any further waste importation.
After illustrating the problems by discussing a waste crisis in Belgium, this Note examines the European Community's response to such problems. This study reveals …

Overview Of The Role Of Precedent In The Legal System Of The United States, Ana Elena Fierro
LLM Theses and Essays
Traditionally, legal systems have been classified as either Common Law or Civil Law; scholars distinguish these systems based on their origins, as well their attitudes towards stare decisis. Common law considers precedent as a source of binding rules, while civil law does not. However, some scholars consider the methods for legal reasoning to be almost the same in every legal system. These scholars maintain that regardless of the source of law in a particular country, once a judge determines that the facts of one case are similar to those regulated by a certain rule, the judge will apply that particular …

Liability-Based Fee-Shifting Rules And Settlement Mechanisms Under Incomplete Information, Eric Talley
Liability-Based Fee-Shifting Rules And Settlement Mechanisms Under Incomplete Information, Eric Talley
Faculty Scholarship
Recent years have seen a debate over litigation reform grow increasingly agitated. Attorneys, judges, academics, and politicians now readily and regularly disagree about how or whether to combat the debilitating litigiousness commonly purported to infect the American Bar. Within this debate, few reform proposals have received as much attention as "fee-shifting" provisions, which, in their most popular incarnation, reallocate litigation costs (particularly attorney's fees) based on the outcome of the liability phase of a trial. This attention is perhaps justified, given the nonuniformity of such rules among industrialized nations. For instance, in the British Commonwealth and much of Continental Europe, …

Introduction: The Ancient Roots Of Modern Forfeiture Law, Jimmy Gurule
Journal Articles
Civil forfeiture is one of the most potent weapons available to prosecutors in the “war on drugs” and against traditional organized crime. Unlike criminal forfeiture it is in rem and based on a legal fiction that property used in violation of law must be held responsible for harm that it has caused. The conceptual underpinnings of civil forfeiture are long established and can be traced back to English common law, but they also create the potential for abuse. There is currently federal legislation that considers scaling back the reach of civil forfeiture and recent Supreme Court decisions have also limited …

In this conversation, Professor Blakey discusses property in the context of organized and white-collar crime, in addition to criminal forfeiture, and frames his discussion around his work with Senator John McClellan on drafting the Organized Crime Control Act.
