Second Generation State Takeover Legislation: Maryland Takes A New Tack, Michigan Law Review Nov 1984

Second Generation State Takeover Legislation: Maryland Takes A New Tack, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note examines the approach recently adopted by the Maryland legislature in special session one year after the Supreme Court's decision in MITE. Maryland has departed radically from the regulatory approach of first generation statutes; however, this Note argues that the statute has failed to escape the constitutional infirmities of its predecessors. Part I outlines the various mechanisms that regulate acquisition of corporate control: the federal tender offer regulatory mechanism known as the Williams Act, state takeover legislation such as the Illinois statute invalidated in MITE, and the new Maryland statute. Part II analyzes the debate concerning the …

A Cry For Reform In Construing Washington Muncipal Corporation Statutes—Chemical Bank V. Washington Public Power Supply System, 99 Wn. 2d 772, 666 P.2d 329 (1983), Richard Shattuck Jul 1984

A Cry For Reform In Construing Washington Muncipal Corporation Statutes—Chemical Bank V. Washington Public Power Supply System, 99 Wn. 2d 772, 666 P.2d 329 (1983), Richard Shattuck

Washington Law Review

In Chemical Bank v. Washington Public Power Supply System (WPPSS), the Washington Supreme Court invalidated a participants' agreement among municipal corporations for joint development of nuclear power plants. The supreme court held that the agreement was void and unenforceable against Washington cities, towns, and public utility districts because these municipal corporations had no authority to enter into the participants' agreement. This Note examines Chemical Bank and its application of Washington municipal corporation law. The Note briefly identifies Washington municipal corporation law prior to Chemical Bank and considers how Chemical Bank relates to this prior law. The Note then discusses some …

The Battering Parent Syndrome: Inexpert Testimony As Character Evidence, Thomas N. Bulleit Jr. Apr 1984

The Battering Parent Syndrome: Inexpert Testimony As Character Evidence, Thomas N. Bulleit Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note proposes that courts refuse to give further consideration to admitting the battering parent syndrome as evidence in both civil and criminal proceedings arising out of child abuse. Part I of the Note describes the syndrome as it appears in the psychological literature. Part II suggests that current judicial attitudes favor the future admissibility of the syndrome, conditioned only on an improved showing of scientific accuracy. Part III demonstrates that regardless of scientific accuracy, the character evidence rule forbids courts from admitting the battering parent syndrome. Part IV argues that the important policies underlying the character evidence rule override …

Subdivision Exactions In Washington: The Controversy Over Imposing Fees On Developers, Martha Lester Apr 1984

Subdivision Exactions In Washington: The Controversy Over Imposing Fees On Developers, Martha Lester

Washington Law Review

This Comment briefly traces the history of subdivision regulation in Washington as a means of imposing conditions on developers or exacting land dedication or fee payment from developers. It discusses the Hillis Homes decision and analyzes the relationship between the new state statute and other statutory land use regulations. This Comment concludes that, although a municipality's authority to impose development fees has been limited, existing statutory authority still allows a municipality to impose conditions on subdivision development.
