Observations Of An Appellate Judge:The Use Of Law Clerks, Eugene A. Wright
Observations Of An Appellate Judge:The Use Of Law Clerks, Eugene A. Wright
Vanderbilt Law Review
Time-judicial time-is our most valuable commodity. We must employ it effectively and efficiently if we are to keep abreast of new developments in the law, new areas of litigation, and modern procedural improvements and to dispose of increasing backlogs of appealed cases. Circuit judges, each authorized two law clerks, have become increasingly dependent upon the help of their staffs to meet the demands of their expanding workload. The role of the law clerk is to aid the experienced judge in his ultimate task, decision-making. An appellate judge will have a varied background of skills and experience. Often he brings to …
The Bremen And The Model Choice Of Forum Act, Robert A. Leflar
The Bremen And The Model Choice Of Forum Act, Robert A. Leflar
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The Model Choice of Forum Act, promulgated by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws (NCCUSL) in 1968, was designed to set standards for the effectuation of contractual forum-selecting clauses, sometimes called "derogation" or "prorogation" clauses, while restricting their effectiveness to situations in which their operation would be fair to all concerned parties. The Commissioners chose not to draft the statute as a Uniform Act to be recommended for adoption by all the states, but rather as a Model Act setting out sound standards that might be followed not only by states drafting their own statutes on the …

The Three Faces Of Zapata: Maritime Law, Federal Common Law, Federal Courts Law, Harold G. Maier
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
In The Bremen v. Zapata Off-Shore Co., the Supreme Court upheld the selection of a London forum in a towage contract between a German firm and an American firm and dismissed a suit brought in a Florida federal district court whose jurisdiction was otherwise valid. In doing so, the Court stated the rule: "[Forum-selection clauses] are prima facie valid and should be enforced unless enforcement is shown by the resisting party to be 'unreasonable' under the circumstances." The Court qualified the rule by indicating that to be enforceable such clauses must be actually bargained for and agreed to by the …

A Married Woman's Surname: Is Custom Law?, Julia C. Lamber
A Married Woman's Surname: Is Custom Law?, Julia C. Lamber
Articles by Maurer Faculty
A general awakening of concern for the rights of women has occurred in recent years, and with it the particular problems of married women have been analyzed against a background of centuries of legal and social assumptions. With the impetus of employment discrimination legislation, the proposed equal rights amendment, and litigation raising sex discrimination issues, it is not surprising that many women are actively seeking to retain their pre-marriage names. This movement compels us to re-examine the custom that a woman must assume her husband's surname upon marriage. That such a phenomenon is custom and not law deserves our attention …
