Municipal Tort Liability For Erroneous Issuance Of Building Permits: A National Survey, Scott J. Borth Jul 1983

Municipal Tort Liability For Erroneous Issuance Of Building Permits: A National Survey, Scott J. Borth

Washington Law Review

Actions alleging municipal tort liability for negligent administration of building and zoning codes are part of the current judicial and legislative trend to abolish municipal tort immunity. In surveying how such actions are treated, this Comment briefly examines the historical background of governmental immunity. It then categorizes the states according to the scope of governmental tort immunity currently recognized. After establishing these categories, this Comment applies the law under each category to the facts of Preston v. City of Daniellville, the hypothetical case. It then analyzes the public duty defense raised by the municipality, focusing on the origin of the …

Colorado's Answer To The Local Rules Problem, William H. Erickson Jan 1983

Colorado's Answer To The Local Rules Problem, William H. Erickson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article examines the checkered history of local rules in the state and federal courts. Part I sketches the development of local rule-making power. Part II focuses on the abuses that have resulted from a nonuniform procedural system. It concludes that the most serious consequence of that abuse - an increase in court costs and delay - has not been addressed adequately by the courts. Part III explores ways in which the local rules problem can be brought under control. Although a number of proposals are discussed, the purpose of this section is to present the approach recently undertaken by …


Appellate Caseload: Meeting The Challenge In Rhode Island, Joseph R. Weisberger Jan 1983

Appellate Caseload: Meeting The Challenge In Rhode Island, Joseph R. Weisberger

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Two of the most challenging and frustrating problems facing appellate courts in America are increasingly congested dockets and the sluggish pace of litigation. In an effort to combat these problems, the Supreme Court of Rhode Island has recently initiated several procedural techniques for screening and settling criminal and civil cases on appeal. These techniques have proven highly effective and should provide other appellate courts at least a partial answer to the burgeoning appellate caseload.

The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly Jan 1983

The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article theorizes that state and local bar associations can play a vital role in ridding their courts of excessive costs and delay. Theory can become practice, however, only if state and local bars are reorganized to broaden their oversight and lobbying functions, in order to make them more effective vehicles of reform. This Article, then, discusses the role the organized bar can and should play in achieving procedural reform that will reduce the delay and cost of litigation. Part I describes the various stages of the reform process, using the Kentucky experiment as a model, and outlines the contributions …

Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus Jan 1983

Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus

University of Richmond Law Review

Professor Ronald J. Bacigal of the T.C. Williams School of Law has made a valuable contribution to the criminal justice system with the recent publication of this book. Not only is the book well-written, but it is succinct and of a size that will easily fit into a lawyer's briefcase to accompany him to court. The manner in which the book is written is such that it can be readily understood by laymen interested in the law or used as the text for a course on criminal procedure in law school or college, and yet the book is detailed enough …


Annexation In Virginia: The 1979 Amendments Usher In A New Era In City-County Relations, Robert E. Spicer Jr. Jan 1983

Annexation In Virginia: The 1979 Amendments Usher In A New Era In City-County Relations, Robert E. Spicer Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

Annexation has been the most common method of adjusting local government boundaries in the United States since the 1850's. This widespread acceptance of annexation, however, has not created uniform procedures for initiating and completing annexation proceedings. Rather, the process of annexation varies considerably from state to state.

Freedom Of Association And State Regulation Of Delegate Selection: Potential For Conflict At The 1984 Democratic National Convention, Platte B. Moring, Iii

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note begins with a discussion of the history of the regulation of state parties by state law and national party rules. The Note then traces the development of case law concerning state regulation of party delegate selection procedures. Finally, the Note explores the potential for credentials disputes and litigation on the primacy of state party rules over contrary state laws if both the party rules and the state regulations comply with the Delegate Selection Rules for the 1984 Democratic National Convention. The Note concludes that the first amendment right of freedom of association guarantees that a state party may …
