Virginia's Law Of Sovereign Immunity: An Overview, James A. Willett Jan 1978

Virginia's Law Of Sovereign Immunity: An Overview, James A. Willett

University of Richmond Law Review

The immunity of a sovereign and its agents from liability for tortious conduct has long been a part of our common law. Its origin seems to be based on "the theory, allied with the divine right of kings, that 'the King can do no wrong', together with the feeling that it was necessarily a contradiction of his sovereignty to allow him to be sued as of right in his own courts." More modern justifications include the desire to limit judicial interference with the workings of government. Naturally this desire has left may wrongs unredressed. Thus, the law has been forced …


The Virginia Law Reporters Before 1880 By W. Hamilton Bryson, Mcdonald Wellford Jan 1978

The Virginia Law Reporters Before 1880 By W. Hamilton Bryson, Mcdonald Wellford

University of Richmond Law Review

The Virginia Bench and Bar are uniquely fortunate in having the early corpus juris of the Commonwealth as recorded in ColonialDecisions, Virginia Decisions and the Virginia Reports. Due to the documents of our nation's birth students of history are fully aware of Virginia's contribution to the establishment of our country. Relatively few individuals, however, recognize the significant contributions made by several of the authors of these documents toward compiling and recording for posterity the decisions of the Commonwealth's highest court.

Nuclear Power And Preemption: Opportunities For State Regulation, Robert S. Peck Jan 1978

Nuclear Power And Preemption: Opportunities For State Regulation, Robert S. Peck

Cleveland State Law Review

This Note proposes that federal preemption should not be deemed to bar state regulations which further federal goals by imposing more stringent demands upon the regulated subject matter. Additionally, however, valid state regulations must further a demonstrable public health and safety interest of the state, and must not be explicitly barred by a valid congressional declaration of exclusive federal authority. This view of preemption would permit a state to implement a policy reflecting the federal balance between strict safety regulation of nuclear power and encouragement of the continued development of atomic energy. Thus, stricter regulations would be within the permissible …


Ohio Rule 8(C) And Related Rules: Some Notes On The Pleading Of Affirmative Defenses, J. Patrick Browne Jan 1978

Ohio Rule 8(C) And Related Rules: Some Notes On The Pleading Of Affirmative Defenses, J. Patrick Browne

Cleveland State Law Review

The adoption of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure on July 1, 1970, ushered in the age of "Pleader's Lib" for the plaintiff's attorney. In code days, a pleader had to allege facts which showed a cause of action. Under the rules, however, a statement of claim' need only state the bare operative facts which show that the claimant has a claim for relief, and the complaint cannot be dismissed for failure to state such a claim unless it appears beyond doubt from the face of the pleading that the claimant can prove no set of facts entitling him or …


The Indefensible Defense Of Impossibility: Excusing Localities From The Performance Of State-Mandated Duties, Stephan Landsman Jan 1978

The Indefensible Defense Of Impossibility: Excusing Localities From The Performance Of State-Mandated Duties, Stephan Landsman

Cleveland State Law Review

It would appear that in Ohio today fiscally hard-pressed localities may be able to avoid state-mandated obligations by relying on a claim of impossibility. While the law in this area is not settled, it would seem that the mandatory programs most vulnerable to attack are those providing benefits to the impoverished or the young. The remainder of this Article will analyze the doctrine of impossibility and review the scope of judicial authority to compel local participation in mandated programs.
