"Civilizing" Nonjury Trials, F. R. Lacy Dec 1965

"Civilizing" Nonjury Trials, F. R. Lacy

Vanderbilt Law Review

This article is intended to make people think about American procedure, yet it is devoted largely to a description of Austrian and Israeli civil procedure and perhaps that calls for some disclaiming and confessing and avoiding. I have spent only a few months in the two countries and have no doubt that I am open to the charge, made against far more seasoned American comparatists, that I tend to look at foreign systems through American conceptual spectacles. By way of avoidance let me offer, first, the usual defense of the popularizer. There never will be many serious students of comparative …


The All Writs Statute And The Injunctive Power Of A Single Appellate Judge, Michigan Law Review Dec 1965

The All Writs Statute And The Injunctive Power Of A Single Appellate Judge, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Although section 1651 was enacted in its present form in 1948, the statutory language of subsection (a) can be traced back to the original Judiciary Act of 1789, in contrast to the terminology in subsection (b), the origins of which are obscure. It is clear, however, that both the alternative writ and the rule nisi are granted on motions ex parte and are in the nature of show-cause orders. These writs were at one time used in place of the modern summons or process and also served as a means of framing the issues to be contested before a court …

Serving Substantial Justice—A Dilemma, Philip A. Trautman Jun 1965

Serving Substantial Justice—A Dilemma, Philip A. Trautman

Washington Law Review

In an article written three years ago, this author introduced the subject with the observation that, of the several grounds for a new trial in Washington, one in particular had created considerable difficulty for the supreme court, trial judges, and counsel. This was the rule permitting a new trial when "substantial justice has not been done," and followed by the provision that, "In all cases wherein the trial court grants a motion for a new trial, it shall, in the order granting the motion, give definite reasons of law and facts for so doing."


Prejudicial Reliance Upon A Trial Court's Ruling May Result In Suspension Of Federal Rules On Timeliness Of Appeals-Thompson V. Immigration & Naturalization Serv.; Wolfsohn V. Hankin, Michigan Law Review May 1965

Prejudicial Reliance Upon A Trial Court's Ruling May Result In Suspension Of Federal Rules On Timeliness Of Appeals-Thompson V. Immigration & Naturalization Serv.; Wolfsohn V. Hankin, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In Thompson v. Immigration & Naturalization Serv., twelve days after the federal district court had entered an order denying a petition for naturalization, petitioner announced his intention of making motions for a new trial and amended findings of fact. Although the motions must be filed within ten days of the entry of judgment, the judge assured petitioner they were made in ample time, and no objection was raised by the Government. Six months later the motions were denied. Within sixty days of this denial, but not within sixty days of the original judgment, petitioner filed a notice of appeal. …

Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz Jan 1965

Depositions And Power Of Notary To Punish For Contempt In Ohio, Richard W. Schwartz

Cleveland State Law Review

The deposition plays an important role in the modern-day practice of law. The enormous backlog of cases in the courts requires preservation of precious testimony during the long wait prior to trial. In addition, the deposition is a valuable tool in evaluating a case, especially during settlement negotiations. Finally, the deposition is a prime means of discovering vital information. The notary public presides at the deposition, and is invested with quasi-judicial powers, including the power to punish for contempt. This paper will briefly survey both the procedural aspects of the deposition and the quasi-judicial power of the notary public.
