New Role For Nonparties In Tort Actions-The Empty Chair, Reed D. Benson Jan 1986

New Role For Nonparties In Tort Actions-The Empty Chair, Reed D. Benson

Faculty Scholarship

In courtroom drama, the spotlight rarely falls on an empty chair. That may change, due to a new Colorado statute allowing factfinders to consider the negligence or fault of nonparties in tort actions. The new statute may not give nonparties starring roles in every trial, but it will certainly thicken the plot.

The Consequences Of The Insanity Defense: Proposals To Reform Post-Acquittal Commitment Laws, James W. Ellis Jan 1986

The Consequences Of The Insanity Defense: Proposals To Reform Post-Acquittal Commitment Laws, James W. Ellis

Faculty Scholarship

There are sound public policy reasons for considering a reform of state laws concerning commitment of insanity acquittees. A balanced system of special commitment can protect the public safety and, at the same time, give acquittees a fair hearing on their current mental condition and continuing need for confinement. Special commitment can also insulate general commitment laws from political pressures that can arise from the prospect of the possible release of notorious insanity acquittees. Several of the recently proposed model reforms, however, have features that commend them to the attention of state legislators. The Oregon model of using a Psychiatric …

Politics And The Courts: The Struggle Over Land In San Francisco 1846-1866, Christian G. Fritz Jan 1986

Politics And The Courts: The Struggle Over Land In San Francisco 1846-1866, Christian G. Fritz

Faculty Scholarship

The struggle over land constitutes one of the most persistent and important themes of Californias nineteenth-century legal history. Ultimately that struggle pitted those who had objections to the concentration of land in a few hands against those who believed in the sanctity of vested interests; those who recognized the letter and spirit of treaty obligations to Mexico, against those with an antipathy toward Hispanics; those concerned with protecting the public's welfare against real estate speculators; and the civil law against the common law tradition. While the struggle over land in San Francisco was not typical of all California land disputes, …
