Third Party Actions Under Workmen's Compensation Act, J. Westwood Smithers

University of Richmond Law Review

At common law any person who wrongfully injures another, intentionally or negligently, is liable to compensate such other person for his damages if the injured person is himself free from contributory fault. If the tortfeasor is a servant, acting within the scope of his employment, his employer (or master) is also liable to answer for the wrong under the long-established doctrine of respondeat superior,with certain exceptions in which immunity is granted to the state, or subdivisions thereof, and to charitable institutions.

Separation As A Ground For Divorce In Virginia, Charles P. Beemus

University of Richmond Law Review

Jurisdiction to grant divorce in all of the states is purely statutory and the grounds are only those set out in the statutes.

Virginia now has nine statutory grounds for an absolute divorce from the bond of matrimony.

University of Richmond Law Review

In this period of prosperity more private capital is avail- able for construction of all kinds. Also, vast sums of public funds are being appropriated for all types of construction, particularly highway construction. For example, the National System of Interstate and Defense Highways alone will involve the construction of 41,000 miles of highway, and is designed to connect and serve all major urban centers in the United ,States. It is probably the largest peacetime engineering project ever undertaken by man.
