Limits Of Ancillary Jurisdiction, John H. Garvey
Limits Of Ancillary Jurisdiction, John H. Garvey
Scholarly Articles
In Owen Equipment & Erection Co. v. Kroger the Supreme Court last Term addressed for the first time the permissible scope of ancillary jurisdiction under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Although the Court approved using the doctrine in the situations to which it has most commonly been applied, it disapproved applying the doctrine to a plaintiff's claim against a nondiverse third-party defendant. This Article suggests that the line drawn by the Court in Kroger is likely to be particularly mischievous and is inconsistent with the justifications of fairness, convenience, and economy generally advanced to support the doctrine of ancillary …

Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge: Testimony On Jury Reform, Richard O. Lempert
Jury Size And The Peremptory Challenge: Testimony On Jury Reform, Richard O. Lempert
Book Chapters
In the essay that follows, Professor Lempert pursues the "lay versus professional" issue, once again in the jury context. He begins by setting forth a general theory of the likely contribution of each. He then applies his posited theory to two issues of current interest to the bar: jury size and the peremptory challenge. The essay originated as testimony (prepared jointly with Dr. Jay Schulman) before a Senate subcommittee considering a bill (S. 2074, 95th Congress, 1st Session) to reduce the number of peremptory challenges in civil cases from three to two and also to require all federal district courts …

A Way Out Of The Social Security Jurisdiction Tangle, John M. Rogers
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
When Congress recently eliminated the $10,000 amount-in-controversy requirement for federal question jurisdiction in suits against the United States, its agencies, and its officers, Congress effectively resolved, for most cases, the problem of finding subject matter jurisdiction for federal judicial review of federal administrative agency action. Whatever the resolution of such distinct issues as whether there is a cause of action, whether sovereign immunity is waived, and whether administrative remedies have been exhausted, subject matter jurisdiction, at least, will be provided, if nowhere else, by the amended federal question jurisdiction statute, 28 U.S.C. § 1331. The applicability of section 1331, however, …

Traditionally, except for the limited role played by pleadings and bills of particulars, the attorney in a law court did not disclose evidentiary matters until trial. "A judicial proceeding was a battle of wits rather than a search for the truth,"' and thus, each side was protected to a large extent against disclosure of his case until counsel chose to disclose it at trial. This philosophy changed some forty years ago with the introduction of discovery in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In the words of Mr. Justice Murphy, the discovery rules meant that "civil trials in the federal …
