An Address: The Constitution And The Dilemma Of Historicism, Roger S. Ruffin May 1969

An Address: The Constitution And The Dilemma Of Historicism, Roger S. Ruffin

San Diego Law Review

In thinking about the Constitution, we should keep in mind the commonplaces that lace our thinking. We must keep them in sight at both levels: content and character, commonplace and commonplaceness–else their importance may escape us. Maitland’s view that "the history of law must be a history of ideas" is one such commonplace. Another was noticed by Edward Corwin: the "commonplace that every age has its own peculiar categories of thought; its speculations are carried on in a vocabulary which those who would be understood by it must adopt . . . ." These are tow of the commonplaces of …


Parent-Child Immunity: The Case For Abolition, Christine V. Pate May 1969

Parent-Child Immunity: The Case For Abolition, Christine V. Pate

San Diego Law Review

"However repugnant it may seem that a minor child should sue his own father, it is equally repugnant that a child injured by his parent's negligence, perhaps maimed for life should have no redress for the injury he has suffered." This anomaly exists today in the majority of jurisdictions which recognize the parent-child immunity. The origins of this rule, its exceptions and its present status nationwide and in California reflect a judicial determination not to interfere with the basic unit of our society, the family.


Bleak House 1968: A Report On Consumer Test Litigation, Philip G. Schrag Mar 1969

Bleak House 1968: A Report On Consumer Test Litigation, Philip G. Schrag

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The author presents the practical problems of consumer test-case litigation. Writing in an informal, anecdotal style, he addresses himself to law students, telling them of the many obstacles they will face in this type of practice. The author relates the innumerable and exasperating delaying tactics employed by his adversaries in several cases now being litigated. Looking beyond the theoretical efficacy of test-case litigation as a solution to the morass of consumers' grievances, the author's experiences suggest the need for basic reform of state procedure in order to permit more speedy resolution of the issues raised by such litigation.


Criminal Law At The International Border, Josph A. Milchen Jan 1969

Criminal Law At The International Border, Josph A. Milchen

San Diego Law Review

[G]eographical considerations are set forth to indicate the potential scope of legal problems that might arise at an international border. The mere length of the border permits imaginative speculation regarding possible violations of customs laws. Although some aspects of the law applicable at the international border are well settled, neither legislative insight nor fertile imagination nor past experience provide sufficient perception to cover the myriad situations that can arise at the border. Furthermore, new developments in related fields must be examined insofar as the border-crossing situation may affect or be affected by them. As a result, there ate the following …


The Neo-Positivist Concept Of International Law, Anthony D'Amato Jan 1965

The Neo-Positivist Concept Of International Law, Anthony D'Amato

Faculty Working Papers

The question "Is international law really law?" has not proved troublesome, according to Hart, because "a trivial question about the meaning of words has been mistaken for a serious question about the nature of things." Hart defends international law in Bentham's terms as "sufficiently analogous" to municipal law. It is important to see in what way this analogy is viewed by Hart in order to determine whether the reasoning he offers is too high a price to pay for accepting a neo-positivist into the circle of those who hold that international law is really law.


Double Jeopardy V. Double Punishment--Confusion In California, Michael J. Bruce Jan 1965

Double Jeopardy V. Double Punishment--Confusion In California, Michael J. Bruce

San Diego Law Review

This Article proposes to clarify this area of criminal practice. California Penal Code § 1023, prohibiting multiple prosecutions, and California Penal Code § 654, prohibiting multiple punishment for the same act or omission, are often misapplied by the California criminal courts. California Penal Code § 1023 sets down two tests to determine whether jeopardy has attached: the "identity of the offense" test and the "necessarily included offense" test. California Penal Code § 654 proscribes double punishment using concurrent sentencing, and prevents double jeopardy using not only the "necessarily included offense" test from § 1023, but also a broader "indivisible transaction" …

Felony-Murder - Surviving Co-Felons Are Punishable For First Degree Murder Under California Penal Code Section 189 For The Killing Of A Confederate By The Owner Of The Store Which They Were Robbing (People V. Hand, Cal. 1963), Robert C. Baxley Jan 1964

Felony-Murder - Surviving Co-Felons Are Punishable For First Degree Murder Under California Penal Code Section 189 For The Killing Of A Confederate By The Owner Of The Store Which They Were Robbing (People V. Hand, Cal. 1963), Robert C. Baxley

San Diego Law Review

In the process of executing a planned robbery of a store, one of four robbers was killed by the owner. The store had been previously robbed and the owner was waiting for such a recurrence. Held, on demurrer to the indictment, the surviving felons were punishable for first degree murder because the legislature intended this fact situation to be within the purview of section 189 and because of a strong public policy as a deterrent to violent felonies. People v. Hand, Crim. No. 5471, Super. Ct., San Diego (July 22, 1963).
