Workmen's Compensation - Proceedings To Secure Compensation - Allowance Of Attorney's Fees To Claimants Unsuccessful On Appeal, Clayton R. Smalley

Michigan Law Review

Employee claimed total permanent disability as a result of an industrial accident, but was awarded compensation for only a twenty percent permanent disability. Claimant was denied certiorari by the Florida District Court of Appeals. However, claimant's request for an allowance of reasonable attorney's fees for the unsuccessful appeal was granted. Claimant's employer was then granted certiorari on its contention that the Florida workmen's compensation statute and a past Florida Supreme Court decision had established that attorney's fees would be allowed only when the claimant's appeal was successful. On certiorari, held, award of attorney's fees affirmed. The statute allows an …

Consult Primary Authorities--Step Three In The Research Process

Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion

The next likely step would have been to look up the statutes and the case that were listed in Florida Law and Practice to find additional information.To find both the statute and corresponding annotations, the student would have used the Florida Statutes Annotated. Since they found the citations for the statute in Florida Law and Practice, there is no need to use the index and the student would go directly to the volume of the set that contained the statute and annotations. At the time, F.S. § 782.10 held that intentionally causing a woman to miscarry would carry …

Conclusion And Fast Forward

Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion

After analyzing statutes and case law information on abortion in Florida, the student could conclude and state that offering to help a woman obtain an abortion was illegal in the 1960’s and, if a miscarriage subsequently occurred due to aid provided, the person who helped obtain the abortion could be convicted of 3rd degree manslaughter.

In 1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade established that women had the right to seek an abortion and that states had to balance their ability to regulate health against a woman’s health care decision power and the potentiality of human life. 410 …

Research Strategy And Resources

Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion

The first step in any research process is to create a research strategy and organize your plan. The first step in most legal research is the use of secondary sources in order to gain an overview of a legal issue and to find cases and statutes that discuss the topic. A possible source about the state of the law in Florida on the topic of abortion was Florida Law and Practice.

Historical Research Project On Abortion

Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion

This document represents an historical research project, from start to finish, as it would have been accomplished during the time Virgil Hawkins was fighting to gain entry into the University of Florida law school. The student would have used print resources to resolve this legal question regarding abortion, a topic about which the law has changed significantly since the time this research would have been performed.

Report On Clients' Indemnity Fund, Hilton Gardner

Washington Law Review

Some years ago the American Bar Association started a study of clients' security funds and appointed a committee known as the Committee on Clients and Security Funds. This committee of the State of Washington had frequently been asked just what is such a fund. Now a clients' security fund is a fund voluntarily established by the bar association for the purpose of reimbursing clients in those few instances in which a lawyer, while the attorney-client relationship existed, has misappropriated his clients' funds. The American Bar Association committee recommended the establishment of such funds by both state and local bar associations.

Legal Education: Past, Present, Future, E. Blythe Stason

Articles

For this Law School Centennial issue of the Journal, I am undertaking to offer, first, a retrospective view of legal education of the past generation, and, second, a speculative preview of the years that lie ahead. This is a task of no slight challenge, for legal education is a truly complex activity in a rapidly changing world. To present an evaluation of the past as well as a prediction for the future within the compass of a short article necessarily involves both brevity and careful selection of the features of the subject to be examined. Moreover, since I am principally …

Rights And Powers: What Are They?, Merton Ferson

Vanderbilt Law Review

One thing that distinguishes a lawyer from other educated persons is his facility in the use of legal concepts. And yet there is a current notion that the study of legal concepts, as such, is academic and im-practical. Professor F. H. Lawson, delivering the Cooley Lectures at the University of Michigan in 1953, notes that it is fashionable among both civil and common lawyers to disparage the use of concepts. He then goes on to say: "This is of course nonsense. The very persons who inveigh against the use of concepts have been so thoroughly educated in a system built …
