Response To Legal Issues Affecting Local Governments In Implementing The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, W. Taylor Murphy Jr., Michael Mckenney
Response To Legal Issues Affecting Local Governments In Implementing The Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act, W. Taylor Murphy Jr., Michael Mckenney
University of Richmond Law Review
The article Legal Issues Affecting Local Governments in Implementing the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act (Legal Issues or "the article") adds measurably to the growing literature on the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Act ("the Act") and offers a significant amount of historical background. However, inasmuch as the article attempts to ascribe certain areas of legislative intent on the part of the General Assembly in adopting the Act that the authors of this comment believe are inaccurate, this comment will attempt to clarify those areas of legislative and regulatory intent. Additionally, this comment will discuss the regulatory development process of the Chesapeake Bay …
A Landlord's Duty To Protect Against Criminal Act On Premises: A Proposal For Virginia, Bonnie Mcduffee
A Landlord's Duty To Protect Against Criminal Act On Premises: A Proposal For Virginia, Bonnie Mcduffee
University of Richmond Law Review
"The world abounds with laws, and teems with crimes," a statement made in 1775, applies with equal force today. No one escapes the specter of crime. An Arlington, Virginia woman, assaulted in her apartment, knows the toll crime takes. So does a woman falling victim to an attacker in a dark Norfolk, Virginia parking lot.
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past few years of legal developments involving children have been marked in part by an increase in the number of major decisions from the United States Supreme Court which have had a direct impact on children. Some of those decisions have had a very dramatic effect, as noted in previous surveys, such as juvenile death penalty cases, cases addressing issues involving abused or neglected children, an opinion defining the associational rights of children, two cases further extending the rights of illegitimate children, decisions addressing the educational rights of handicapped children, and three important decisions narrowing the first amendment and …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Evidence, Charles E. Friend
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Evidence, Charles E. Friend
University of Richmond Law Review
The past year has brought a variety of appellate court decisions (and a few legislative actions) in the evidence area. Some of these are merely affirmations of well-established principles; others answer questions about evidence law which have troubled lawyers and judges in the Commonwealth for some time. And, inevitably, some of them raise questions in areas once thought to be definite and certain.
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Antitrust And Trade Regulation, Michael F. Urbanski
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Antitrust And Trade Regulation, Michael F. Urbanski
University of Richmond Law Review
In this past year, as in previous years, Virginia courts have imposed strict requirements on plaintiffs bringing antitrust claims. While antitrust claims remain popular, many have foundered because the plaintiff either failed to show the existence of an antitrust conspiracy or antitrust injury, or the plaintiff inadequately defined the market allegedly affected by the antitrust violation. The courts' exacting scrutiny extends beyond the elements of the action itself to procedural rules, evidentiary requirements and remedies. While one Fourth Circuit case suggests a slight relaxation in the analysis of state action immunity, the apparent adoption of the "market screen" analysis in …
As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy And Consumer Credit In America, Michael J. Herbert
As We Forgive Our Debtors: Bankruptcy And Consumer Credit In America, Michael J. Herbert
University of Richmond Law Review
Bankruptcy may soon join death and taxes as an inevitable consequence of human life. During the year ending June 30, 1988, (the most recent year for which there are conveniently available figures) 594,567 American individuals and companies filed for bankruptcy. There is more than a sporting chance that, come the next recession, bankruptcies will top one million per year. Good news for lawyers, if not the economy.
Substantial Connection And The Illusive Facilitation Element For Civil Forfeiture Of Narcoband In Drug Felony Cases, Steven S. Biss
Substantial Connection And The Illusive Facilitation Element For Civil Forfeiture Of Narcoband In Drug Felony Cases, Steven S. Biss
University of Richmond Law Review
When Stanford Bradshaw returned home from the mall, Halifax County, Virginia, police officers arrested him for possession of cocaine. A subsequent search of his residence produced forty-nine grams of cocaine, a set of scales and a little over $17,000 in cash stuffed in a bank bag. Bradshaw was a cocaine addict who occasionally sold drugs from his house. Although he knew he had committed a serious crime, Bradshaw did not imagine the ultimate consequence of his criminal activity. The Commonwealth's Attorney seized Bradshaw's house and instituted forfeiture proceedings: the most powerful weapon in its arsenal. As a result of his …

A Tribute To Nina R. Kestin, Daniel T. Murphy
University of Richmond Law Review
The University of Richmond Law Review respectfully dedicates this issue to the memory of Professor Nina R. Kestin, 1947-1989. Professor Kestin earned her law degree and masters degree in taxation from New York University. She practiced law in New York for several years before joining the faculty of the T.C. Williams School of Law here in 1976. Many students learned their tax law and professional responsibility principles from her during her 13 years of teaching. But Professor Kestin taught her colleagues and students much more than the law.

Comparative American Judicial Systems, Jeffrey A. Parness
Comparative American Judicial Systems, Jeffrey A. Parness
University of Richmond Law Review
Far too often when we discuss American courts and their judicial systems, we take little note of the significant differences in the ways in which cases are handled and law is practiced. We probably contemplate the dichotomy between trial and appellate courts; between rural and urban courts; between general and special jurisdiction courts; between state and federal courts; between courts with elected and selected judges; and between civil and criminal courts. We also surely contemplate the differences in attitudes, work habits, ideology, staff and the like which separate individual judges, and we inevitably contemplate the divergent judicial approaches to the …
The Misappropriation Theory: A Practical Means Of Imposing Rule 10b-5 Liability, Christine Marra
The Misappropriation Theory: A Practical Means Of Imposing Rule 10b-5 Liability, Christine Marra
University of Richmond Law Review
The degree of insider trading has intensified in recent years. This intensification is partially due to the current law's failure to provide a clear standard for imposing liability. Rule 10b-5, formulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to implement section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, does not contain a clear definition of insider trading. The courts have struggled to define the scope of 10b-5; the leading case law demonstrates the difficulty courts have had determining what constitutes insider trading.

State Action Under The Religion Clauses: Neutral In Result Or Neutral In Treatment?, David K. Dewolf
State Action Under The Religion Clauses: Neutral In Result Or Neutral In Treatment?, David K. Dewolf
University of Richmond Law Review
The United States Supreme Court's treatment of the first amendment's religion clauses over the last fifty years has generated considerable controversy. While few religion clause cases reached the Supreme Court prior to 1940, the number steadily multiplied once the first amendment was incorporated into the fourteenth amendment. The Court's doctrinal development was incremental and uncertain, but by 1971 the Court had developed a test for each of the religion clauses to evaluate the constitutionality of challenged state action. Although these tests have not been followed with perfect fidelity, they have been the starting point for virtually all of the religion …
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Augmented Estate System: An Overview, J. William Gray Jr.
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Augmented Estate System: An Overview, J. William Gray Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The New Year 1991 will bring in an entirely new system of property rights for surviving spouses in Virginia. As of the end of 1990, the centuries-old concepts of dower and curtesy will disappear from the Code of Virginia (the "Code"). The current will renunciation and spouse's election provisions of estate law also will be scrapped. House Bill No. 808 replaces those historic concepts with an "augmented estate" system modeled after the Uniform Probate Code (the "U.P.C."), but having several features unique to the Commonwealth. This article examines the mechanics of the new system, with particular emphasis on features that …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Professional Responsibility, Timothy M. Kaine
University of Richmond Law Review
This year, like many years, has been marked by increasing public concern over legal ethics. Public attention has been drawn to lawyers' participation in scandals such as the misuse of funds by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the collapse of the savings and loan industry, and numerous ethical breaches by members of Congress.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
The 1990 session of the General Assembly enacted legislation dealing with wills, trusts, and estates that added, amended, or repealed a number of sections of the Code of Virginia (the "Code"). In addition to this legislation, there were fifteen cases from the Supreme Court of Virginia, in the year ending June 1, 1990, which involved issues of interest to both the general practitioner and the specialist in wills, trusts, and estates. This article analyzes each of these legislative and judicial developments.

Steering Away From The Arbitration Process: Recognizing State Law Tort Actions For Unionized Employees, David C. Gardiner Jr.
Steering Away From The Arbitration Process: Recognizing State Law Tort Actions For Unionized Employees, David C. Gardiner Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
When an employer and a labor union negotiate over an employment contract, their agreements are usually set forth in a collective bargaining agreement. The collective bargaining agreement defines the relationship between the employer and the unionized employees and addresses such matters as wages, hours, and other conditions of employment. Additionally, collective bargaining agreements usually include grievance procedures and arbitration clauses to resolve disputes between the employer and the unionized employees.
The Doctrine Of Charitable Immunity: Alive And Well In Virginia, Michelle Redavid Rack
The Doctrine Of Charitable Immunity: Alive And Well In Virginia, Michelle Redavid Rack
University of Richmond Law Review
Until recent years, the doctrine of charitable immunity was believed by many Virginia practitioners to be an archaic defense limited to charitable hospitals. This belief likely arose out of the fact that until 1988 every Supreme Court of Virginia case addressing the doctrine involved its application to hospitals. The Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit, applying Virginia law, broadened the doctrine over the years by extending charitable immunity to a nonprofit college, a confederate memorial association, and an historical church. However, the scope of charitable immunity remained virtually untested in the Supreme Court of Virginia until the recent cases …
The Surrogate Mother Contract: In The Best Interests Of Society?, Audrey Wolfson Latourette
The Surrogate Mother Contract: In The Best Interests Of Society?, Audrey Wolfson Latourette
University of Richmond Law Review
On March 31, 1987, Judge Harvey R. Sorkow upheld, for the first time, the validity of a surrogate mother-contract in his decision, In the Matter of Baby M. In broad and sweeping language, the judge deemed the contract between the natural mother, Mary Beth Whitehead, (termed the surrogate, pursuant to the contract language) and the natural father, William Stern, specifically enforceable. Judge Sorkow thus terminated Whitehead's parental rights to the child she bore and permanently denied her claims for future custody or future visitation. Creating new law, the judge held that baby selling and adoption laws do not pertain to …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Taxation, Carle E. Davis
University of Richmond Law Review
In its 1990 session, Virginia's General Assembly passed many bills amending sections of and adding new sections to title 58.1 of the Code of Virginia (the "Code"). These bills affected a broad range of areas, including the individual and corporate income tax, the sales and use tax, real estate and recordation taxes, and miscellaneous local taxes. The Supreme Court of Virginia also decided several cases concerning miscellaneous taxation issues. In addition, the Virginia Department of Taxation finalized several regulations and promulgated proposed regulations. This article covers legislative and regulatory changes, and recent judicial decisions affecting Virginia taxation from July 1989 …

The Rtc: A Practical Guide To The Receivership/Conservatorship Process And The Resolution Of Failed Thrifts, Vicki O. Tucker, Patti G. Meire, Phyllis M. Rubinstein
University of Richmond Law Review
In response to a growing crisis in the thrift industry, Congress enacted the Financial Institutions Reform, Recovery, and Enforcement Act of 1989 ("FIRREA" or "Act"). The crisis was evidenced by the failure of over 500 thrifts between 1980 and 1988-more than three and one-half times as many in the previous forty-five years combined. In 1988 alone, the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation ("FSLIC," which prior to FIRREA insured most of the thrift industry's deposits) merged or liquidated over 200 insolvent thrifts, and the U.S. Government's General Accounting Office ("GAO") estimated in 1989 that at least 338 additional thrifts were …
