Res Judicata/Preclusion By Judgment: The Law Applied In Federal Courts, Allan D. Vestal
Res Judicata/Preclusion By Judgment: The Law Applied In Federal Courts, Allan D. Vestal
Michigan Law Review
Preclusion is not a simple principle; it is a multifaceted concept affected by a number of relevant variables. A discussion of the principles is meaningful only if specific situations are discussed; to talk in generalities is not profitable. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, this Article will consider several typical situations.
Review Of The Law Of Restitution, Whitmore Gray
Review Of The Law Of Restitution, Whitmore Gray
Reviews
The appearance of this excellent treatise is a major step toward a better understanding of the place of restitution in Anglo-American law. The authors' exhaustive treatment of the English case law and the inclusion of much American authority give a perspective on the field which has not previously been available. Like the 1937 Restatement of Restitution, this is a presentation in one volume of legal and equitable remedies for enforcing a substantive right to restitution.' It goes well beyond the uneasy, loose association of the legal and equitable parts of the Restdtement, however, and gives us a unified treatise. Until …
Inadequate Damages In P.I. Actions: Trends In Appellate Decisions, Owen T. Palmer Jr.
Inadequate Damages In P.I. Actions: Trends In Appellate Decisions, Owen T. Palmer Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
There is no mystery in the language which courts from time immemorial expressed in an attempt to explain when they will interfere with a verdict which has been challenged on the grounds of either excessiveness or inadequacy. Lip service is given to the rule that the size of the verdict alone is not the criteria for interference with the verdict of a jury. The usual language is that excessiveness or inadequacy, to warrant interference, must evince or carry an implication of passion or prejudice, corruption, partiality, improper influences, or the like. An analysis of the decisions, however, justifies "the conclusion …
The Upward Trend In Personal Injury Verdicts, Louis A. Ginocchio
The Upward Trend In Personal Injury Verdicts, Louis A. Ginocchio
Cleveland State Law Review
In preparing this note, the author has drawn on his personal court room experiences and has attempted to provide some insight into what he feels to be the reasons why jury verdicts in personal injury cases have been, and for the foreseeable future will be, increasing in dollar amounts. Only indirectly will it treat the area of a plaintiff's increased opportunities for a verdict in his favor.

Damages In Wrongful Death Actions, Stanley B. Kent
Damages In Wrongful Death Actions, Stanley B. Kent
Cleveland State Law Review
It is an ancient truth that the tort law is amoral in the sense that the degree of culpability of the defendant, assuming, of course, there is any culpability at all, is not a factor in determining damages. Nowhere is this better illustrated than in wrongful death cases where the jury is admonished to fix damages solely on the basis of the "pecuniary injury" that the survivors suffered as the result of the death.' Although this instruction represents the application to death cases of the compensation theory that is so familiar in ordinary injury cases, it seems almost inhumane in …
Expanding Employees' Remedies And Third Party Actions, Robert L. Millender
Expanding Employees' Remedies And Third Party Actions, Robert L. Millender
Cleveland State Law Review
The title of this article is perhaps somewhat misleading. Do third party actions expand employees remedies? Such actions arise out of provisions of our state and federal workmen's compensation laws granting an employer or his insurer the right to sue any person or persons who cause the injury to his employee. Also, third party actions arise under statutes granting the injured employee the right to sue the tort-feasor without loss of recourse against the employer. Third party actions do constitute an expanding remedy for the employer and his insurer; it is generally conceded that without a statutory provision the right …

A Touchstone For Labor Board Remedies, Theodore J. St. Antoine
A Touchstone For Labor Board Remedies, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
Fashion dictates what lawyers argue about, and law professors write about, more than we may care to admit. In labor law, especially, the styles change with a rapidity that would impress a Paris couturier. During the past decade the spotlight has moved from union democracy to labor contract enforcement to the union organizing campaign. Today the "in" topic is National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) remedies. Yet if any subject deserves immunity from the vagaries of fashion, this is the one; for all rights acquire substance only insofar as they are backed by effective remedies. Coke said it long ago: "[W]ant …
