Federal Comity, Official Immunity, And The Dilemma Of Section 1983 Aug 1967

Federal Comity, Official Immunity, And The Dilemma Of Section 1983

Duke Law Journal

Section 1983 of title 42, United States Code, provides a civil remedy in the federal courts for persons whose federal rights have been denied by anyone acting "under color of" state law. Typically, those who act "under color of" state law are state officials-ranging from governor to policeman. However, in many section 1983 suits, the purpose of the statute conflicts with the policy of protecting the working balance between the states and the federal government, or with the goal of ensuring impartiality of decision-making by state officials. The dilemma thus posed has been resolved by federal courts in various ways, …


Constitutional Law: Supreme Court Indicates Significant Limitation Upon Review Of State Criminal Procedures Aug 1967

Constitutional Law: Supreme Court Indicates Significant Limitation Upon Review Of State Criminal Procedures

Duke Law Journal

In affirming convictions pursuant to a Texas statute implementing common law recidivist procedure, the Supreme Court attenuated the efficacy of allegations of jury prejudice and of alternative means as constitutional determinants in the consideration of criminal procedures absent potential frustration of specific constitutional provisions. Based upon pragmatic considerations of judicial efficiency and deference to state prerogative, the decision may extend beyond its unique factual situation to narrow significantly the role of due process in defining the range of permissible state criminal procedures.

Federal Estate Taxation: Section 2036(A)(1) Transfer Requires Affirmative Action

Duke Law Journal

The Sixth Circuit, in National City Bank v. United States, held that the possession by the decedent of the power to alter the ultimate disposition of property, in the absence of any exercise of that power, was not sufficient in itself to constitute a transfer under section 2036(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The Sec’S Rule 10b-6: Preserving A Competitive Market During Distributions Aug 1967

The Sec’S Rule 10b-6: Preserving A Competitive Market During Distributions

Duke Law Journal

The recent Georgia-Pacific litigation serves to reiterate the broad question posed by the Special Study of the Securities Markets concerning the precise limits of the Securities and Exchange Commission's proscription of bidding and purchasing by interested persons during the course of a distribution. While the SEC has affirmed the need for clarification of some applications of the protean regulation, no definitive analysis has been forthcoming. In an attempt to ascertain the current view of the Commission with respect to enforcement of the prohibition and to isolate the more troublesome issues raised by the rule, this comment examines the background of …

A Note On The Role Of Equity In The Curriculum Of The Modern Law School, Sheldon Tefft

One of the casualties of the generally beneficial merger of law and equity has been the abandonment by law schools of courses treating equitable relief. The author of this article perceives an increasing need for curriculum changes which will restore this neglected subject to its proper role in the education of the lawyer.


The Status Of Multiemployer Bargaining Under The National Labor Relations Act Jun 1967

The Status Of Multiemployer Bargaining Under The National Labor Relations Act

Duke Law Journal

The recent decision of the National Labor Relations Board in Evening News Ass'n permitting unions as well as employers to withdraw unliaterally from established multiemployer bargaining units may well have jeopardized the utility of such units as a stabilizing force in labor relations. This comment examines the past and present policies of the NLRB with regard to multi-employer collective bargaining and attempts to demonstrate that the Board's conclusion in Evening News is neither dictated by precedent nor based on sound policy considerations.


Constitutional Law: The Supreme Court Constructs A Limited Right To Trial By Jury For Federal Criminal Contemnors Jun 1967

Constitutional Law: The Supreme Court Constructs A Limited Right To Trial By Jury For Federal Criminal Contemnors

Duke Law Journal

In an exercise of the discretionary rule-making authority over the lower federal courts, the Supreme Court in Cheff v. Schnackenburg directed that sentences exceeding six months may not be imposed absent a jury trial or waiver thereof. However, in obliquely withdrawing the previously asserted constitutional basis for the six-months limitation, the Court conceivably has undermined the viability of the criminal contemnor's "right" to a jury trial. Moreover, in light of the potential conflict between the Cheff directive and congressional intent, the precise scope and mode of application of the sentencing restriction remains unsettled.

Evidence: Admission Of Mathematical Probability Statistics Held Erroneous For Want Of Demonstration Of Validity

Duke Law Journal

In State v. Sneed the New Mexico Supreme Court limited its disapproval of evidence of probability statistics to the particular facts presented but failed to articulate specific safeguards for subsequent use of such evidence. This note explores the nature of probability statistics, their potential utility in a legal context, and criteria by which their admissibility might be determined.
