In 2005, the Virginia Stock Corporation Act (the "Virginia Act") was extensively revised and updated for the first time since 1985. Having just undertaken such a major revision to the Virginia Act,

Section II of this article addresses some of the changes that have taken place since the 2005 amendments and gives a brief overview of some conforming changes that have been incorporated in the Virginia Nonstock Corporation Act (the "Nonstock Act").
There has also been a concerted effort to conform the language and …

Assessing The Revised Arizona Local Rules Of Federal Procedure, Carl W. Tobias
Assessing The Revised Arizona Local Rules Of Federal Procedure, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
The United States District Court for the District of Arizona has generally not contributed to a significant difficulty with modem federal court practice: local procedural proliferation. Each of the remaining ninety-three federal district courts has prescribed and applied numerous local strictures that govern admiralty, bankruptcy, civil, criminal and evidentiary practice, while mounting numbers of these local provisos conflict with or repeat analogous federal rules or statutes. In contrast, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona has promulgated and enforced relatively few local measures, and only a tiny percentage of them are redundant or inconsistent with corresponding federal …
Reassessing The Purposes Of Federal Question Jurisdiction, John F. Preis
Reassessing The Purposes Of Federal Question Jurisdiction, John F. Preis
Law Faculty Publications
For ages, judges and legal academics have claimed that federal question jurisdiction has three purposes: to provide litigants with a judge experienced in federal law, to protect litigants from state court hostility toward federal claims, and to preserve uniformity in federal law.

Despite the ongoing allegiance to this conception of federal question jurisdictionand by implication, state court adjudication of …

Promissory Estoppel: The Life History Of An Ideal Legal Transplant, Joel M. Ngugi
University of Richmond Law Review
This article hopes to accomplish three things. First, it will revisit the historical origins of the doctrine of promissory estoppel in the American law of contracts and the role that Samuel Williston, the Chief Reporter of the Restatement (First) of Contracts ("First Restatement") played in the evolution of the doctrine. The dominant theory is that Williston conceptualized the new promissory estoppel doctrine in a way that retarded and blunted the doctrine shortly after its birth. This theory is adhered to by both critics and proponents of the expansion of promissory estoppel as a ground of promissory obligation. According to both …
