Liability Of Engineer For Defective Design, Emil F. Sos Jr.
Liability Of Engineer For Defective Design, Emil F. Sos Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
The practice of "Professional Engineering" in the United States is governed by licensing statutes in all fifty states and the District of Columbia. Liability for incompetency is only indirectly affected by these statutes. The statutes do have an effect on the contractual relationships of the engineer and most states make a violation of the licensing sections a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.

Injuries From Electronic Power Sources, Charles H. Grace, Sheila M. Kahoe

Private Legal Action For Air Pollution, James E. Melle
Private Legal Action For Air Pollution, James E. Melle
Cleveland State Law Review
The vagueness of the concept of nuisance has resulted from the varying interpretations given it by the courts. It is still debatable whether liability for nuisance exists because of the harm done, or how the harm was created. Though there are many different purpose classifications of nuisances, this paper deals only with the basic ones-i.e., public,private, and public nuisances which are also private nuisances. What can a healthy individual do who does not live in the "neighborhood" of a polluter and yet fears that air pollution has harmful effects on his health? The air transmits the pollution, and it affects …

Torts On Boats And Yachts, Jeffrey A. Rich
Cleveland State Law Review
Summer is here, and boaters eagerly sail or drive their gems-of-the ocean in summer fun. To the lawyer, the boating season means personal injury cases of a special, and possibly, unfamiliar nature. Torts on yachts usually fall within United States admiralty law jurisdiction. We shall sketch the applicable law-for those who read as they run (over the waves).
Governmental Liability For Inadequate Traffic Sign, Robert C. Egger
Governmental Liability For Inadequate Traffic Sign, Robert C. Egger
Cleveland State Law Review
Because the gratuitous rider situation, and others, provide a need fora clear rule as to the standard of care required of a governmental agency with regard to highway signing and because the results of present cases seem to be at great variance, this paper is presented as an attempt to set forth and clarify the existing standards and to propose a practical rule for uniform adoption. Thus, the material below is confined to a study of only the standard by which the adequacy of highway signing is measured in determining the liability of a governmental agency upon an allegation naming …
Judicial Notice Of Modern Youths' Propensity For Fighting, Leona M. Hudak
Judicial Notice Of Modern Youths' Propensity For Fighting, Leona M. Hudak
Cleveland State Law Review
Fighting, which in olden times was admired as valor in youth, has become a crucial contemporary problem of international proportions-the courts have been loath to recognize this phenomenon and to depart from the comfortable refuge of stare decisis by giving redress to plaintiffs injured by the young rebels. Yet the constitutions of most, if not all, the jurisdictions of the United States ironically assure their inhabitants of a remedy for every injury.

Product Liability And The Pill, Joyce Barrett
Product Liability And The Pill, Joyce Barrett
Cleveland State Law Review
The Pill has been on the market now for ten years and has been inwide use for five. Only within the last year, however, have widespread reports of the adverse effects associated with the Pill been publicized. While the Pill manufacturers may be aiding society by providing a convenient and effective method of checking the overpopulation problem, they are also handsomely profiting from Pill sales. Thus, the burden of compensating those injured by oral contraceptives should properly fall on the manufacturers and be treated as a cost of production. This, in turn, should prompt the manufacturers to initiate more ambitious …
