Commments: Preemption Of State Law Under The Federal Arbitration Act, Douglas M. Fox
Commments: Preemption Of State Law Under The Federal Arbitration Act, Douglas M. Fox
University of Baltimore Law Review
The Federal Arbitration Act, in contrast to common law, makes arbitration agreements in contracts "evidencing a transaction involving commerce" valid and enforceable. Recent decisions of the United States Supreme Court mandate that the federal Act be applied in both federal and state courts. In this comment, the author traces the history of the federal Act and addresses the threshold question of what activities satisfy the commerce requirement. The author examines the inconsistencies that arise when the federal Act is applied in state courts and urges Congress to revise the Act in light of these inconsistencies. Finally, potential changes in Maryland …

The Demography Of Probate Administration, Robert A. Stein, Ian G. Fierstein
University of Baltimore Law Review
This article is the second in a series of articles reporting the results of a multi-jurisdiction study of estate administration. Specifically, this article focuses on the frequency and types of administration proceedings utilized by decedents' estates; the extent to which fluctuations in testacy rates among states are attributable to various state-specific advantages provided estates left by testate decedents and variables such as age and sex of decedent; and the size and composition of estates undergoing administration proceedings. The data that provide the basis for this article were gathered in 1976. The authors provide an organized presentation of data that will …

Comment: "Piercing The Corporate Veil" In Maryland: An Analysis And Suggested Approach, Denise L. Speer
Comment: "Piercing The Corporate Veil" In Maryland: An Analysis And Suggested Approach, Denise L. Speer
University of Baltimore Law Review
In Maryland, it is well settled that the veil of a corporate entity may be pierced only to prevent fraud or to enforce a paramount equity. This test, formulated to balance the policy of limited shareholder liability with the interest of serving justice, has produced disparate results. This comment surveys the tests employed by other jurisdictions, reviews and criticizes the policies and application of the Maryland standard, and advocates the adoption of a more equitable approach in veil piercing cases - a "many factors" analysis.

The Paquete Habana: A Case History In The Development Of International Law, Scott W. Stucky
The Paquete Habana: A Case History In The Development Of International Law, Scott W. Stucky
University of Baltimore Law Review
In The Paquete Habana, decided in 1900, the United States Supreme Court adopted the doctrine that coastal fishing vessels are exempt from capture as prize of war. The Court held that the exemption was an established custom of international law, which—in the absence of a controlling executive or judicial decision—should be incorporated into the corpus of our common law. The Paquete Habana influenced the development of positive rules of international law that expanded the class of civilian vessels that are exempt from capture. Recently, the lower federal courts have begun to utilize The Paquete Habana as precedent for the incorporation …
Commments: Continuing Vitality Of The "Goods Or Services" Test, Wayne Michael Willoughby
Commments: Continuing Vitality Of The "Goods Or Services" Test, Wayne Michael Willoughby
University of Baltimore Law Review
The term "trade or business" is used frequently throughout the Internal Revenue Code, and the determination of whether a taxpayer's activities constitute a trade or business has a major impact on the applicable tax treatment. Unfortunately, no definition of trade or business is supplied in the Internal Revenue Code, the legislative history, or the Treasury Regulations. Consequently, the courts have been left this task and two different standards for determining trade or business status have emerged. In this comment, the author reviews the history of the term "trade or business, " examines the decisional law, and analyzes the two current …

Bivens Actions For Federal Employees In The Aftermath Of Bush V. Lucas: Which Remedies For Whom?, Barry F. Smith
Bivens Actions For Federal Employees In The Aftermath Of Bush V. Lucas: Which Remedies For Whom?, Barry F. Smith
University of Baltimore Law Review
The recognition of the Bivens-style action, or the constitutional tort, has been followed by the Supreme Court's recent assertion that these actions will be unavailable where Congress has established an elaborate remedial scheme that should not be augmented by a judicial remedy. The author of this article posits that this necessary limitation on Bivens actions may produce an ironic result in the area of public personnel. The author reasons that those employees whom Congress has determined warrant no statutory protection may be permitted to pursue more lucrative judicial remedies than those employees whom Congress has sought to protect. The author …

Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Corp. V. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.: Response And Reaction In The Federal Judiciary, Alfred S. Neely Iv
University of Baltimore Law Review
In Vermont Yankee, The United States Supreme Court established a paradigm for judicial review of administrative agencies' rulemaking actions. The Court held that Congress had established the maximum procedures that may be required of an agency undertaking informal rulemaking. These procedural requirements were established by section 553 of the Administrative Procedure Act, and courts generally are prohibited from imposing additional procedures upon agencies. Since the 1978 opinion was handed down, the lower federal judiciary has been exploring the possible implications of the Vermont Yankee rule. The author surveys the lower court opinions, and concludes that this lower court exploration has …
Issue Preclusion: The Return Of The Multiple Claimant Anomaly, Aaron Gershonowitz
Issue Preclusion: The Return Of The Multiple Claimant Anomaly, Aaron Gershonowitz
University of Baltimore Law Review
Offensive collateral estoppel occurs when a plaintiff estops a defendant from relitigating an issue the defendant has previously litigated and lost. Although this doctrine is accepted by the Supreme Court, its application is limited to situations that would not cause unfairness to the defendant. Recently, the Supreme Court has exempted the government from the application of offensive collateral estoppel for prevailing policy reasons. The author analyzes these decisions and their underlying policies and concludes that a private defendant can fashion an argument that the application of nonmutual offensive collateral estoppel should not be allowed in the second case of a …
