Rule 11 And Civil Rights Litigation, Carl W. Tobias
Rule 11 And Civil Rights Litigation, Carl W. Tobias
Law Faculty Publications
The recent amendment of rule 11 may well have engendered more controversy than any other revision since the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were first promulgated one-half century ago. The new version essentially requires that judges impose sanctions on lawyers and parties who fail to conduct reasonable inquiries before filing court papers. The amendment's adoption was prompted by increasing concern about abuse of the litigation process and about the "litigation explosion" -the perception that unprecedented numbers of civil cases were being filed and that too many lacked merit. Proponents have hailed the revised rule as the savior of the civil …
Invalidation Of Residency Requirements For Admission To The Bar: Opportunities For General Reform, Paul G. Gill
Invalidation Of Residency Requirements For Admission To The Bar: Opportunities For General Reform, Paul G. Gill
University of Richmond Law Review
Individuals must jump several major hurdles to earn the right to practice law. One hurdle state bars have traditionally imposed is the requirement that applicants demonstrate their residency in that state. This must be done either upon application, prior to admission, or upon admission. A residency requirement has been imposed on both applicants applying for admission by examination, and attorney applicants admitted on motion without exam.

Sanctioning Defendants' Non-Willful Delay:The Failure Of Rule 55 And A Proposal For Its Reform, Carl B. Schultz
Sanctioning Defendants' Non-Willful Delay:The Failure Of Rule 55 And A Proposal For Its Reform, Carl B. Schultz
University of Richmond Law Review
For as long as parties have pursued claims through litigation, those against whom claims are asserted have delayed the litigation process. Defendants, and other parties against whom claims are asserted, (hereinafter collectively referred to as defendants), fail to answer complaints against them in time; they delay in responding to discovery requests, motions and court orders, and they fail to appear for trials and other proceedings.
Advisory Opinions: Cautions About Non-Judicial Undertakings, Robert H. Kennedy
Advisory Opinions: Cautions About Non-Judicial Undertakings, Robert H. Kennedy
University of Richmond Law Review
Justices of several states, unlike members of the federal judiciary, render advisory opinions to governors and legislatures. In those states, the justices have the authority to issue requested opinions in the absence of pending litigation. Although the practice earlier had more widespread use, it has never been employed by all states. Unless carefully circumscribed, the advisory process has considerable unexamined significance.
Tobacco Suits Today: Are Cigarette Plaintiffs Just Blowing Smoke?, Milby Amott Mccarthy
Tobacco Suits Today: Are Cigarette Plaintiffs Just Blowing Smoke?, Milby Amott Mccarthy
University of Richmond Law Review
The Surgeon General has stated that cigarette smoking is the "chief, single, avoidable cause of death in our society and the most important public health issue of our time." Over 200,000 people die each year in the United States as a result of cigarette smoking. Consequently, numerous products liability suits have been filed against tobacco companies. However, until the 1988 decision in CipoIlone v. Liggett Group, Inc., no plaintiff had won a products liability suit against a tobacco company.

Environmental Liens And Title Insurance, Robert S. Bozarth
Environmental Liens And Title Insurance, Robert S. Bozarth
University of Richmond Law Review
Increased concern for the environment and environmental protection laws have affected title insurance. To understand this effect, it is necessary to examine our environmental problems, the environmental laws and the nature of title insurance. This article also looks at the title insurance industry's reaction to these environmental risks as compared to the reaction of the property/casualty insurance industry.
Environmental Liability In Real Property Transactions, Timothy G. Hayes, William J. Dinkin
Environmental Liability In Real Property Transactions, Timothy G. Hayes, William J. Dinkin
University of Richmond Law Review
In recent years, the scope of environmental liability has broadened considerably. Cleanup costs are no longer solely the concern of those directly engaged in the generation and disposal of hazardous wastes. Federal and state environmental statutes now create potential liability for parties to a variety of seemingly innocent transactions. Purchasers of contaminated property may be required to pay for hazardous waste cleanup. Corporate entities may also face environmental liability through mergers, consolidations and asset acquisitions. In addition, lenders may risk liability or impairment of collateral when contaminated property is used to secure a loan.
What's Current In Asbestos Regulations, Janis L. Kirkland
What's Current In Asbestos Regulations, Janis L. Kirkland
University of Richmond Law Review
Asbestos, once valued as a superb insulator, is now recognized as a deadly carcinogen. The United States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") estimates that 733,000 public and commercial buildings in the United States contain friable asbestos or asbestos-containing materials. Thus, it is not surprising that an avalanche of litigation has resulted from concerns over exposure to asbestos.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Civil Procedure And Practice, W. Hamilton Bryson
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Civil Procedure And Practice, W. Hamilton Bryson
University of Richmond Law Review
Rules 2:4 and 3:3(c) of the Rules of Virginia Supreme Court ("Rules of Court") require the dismissal of an action if service of process is not accomplished within one year after the filing thereof unless the plaintiff can show "due diligence" or good cause for the delay. Since the plaintiff can get personal service on a defendant who has absconded by means of the general long arm statute, it will be a heavy burden in practice to show due diligence or good cause or it will be a highly unusual situation. Recently, two issues have arisen regarding these rules.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Administrative Procedure, James E. Ryan Jr., Renata Manzo Scruggs
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Administrative Procedure, James E. Ryan Jr., Renata Manzo Scruggs
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1989, the Virginia General Assembly made several relatively minor, but significant, changes to the Virginia Administrative Process Act (VAPA). These amendments modified the manner in which agencies may promulgate regulations and conduct informal fact finding hearings. Two new exemptions to the VAPA were created: one for rules for the conduct of specific lottery games; and a second for orders condemning shellfish growing areas. In other changes, rulemaking proceedings conducted by the State Water Control Board (SWCB), certain decisions of the Board of Social Services, and amendments to standards for asbestos inspections became subject to different provisions of the VAPA.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Legal Issues Involving Children, Robert E. Shepherd Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
The past year was significant on several fronts where delinquency was concerned. The General Assembly responded positively to fifteen years of advocacy for a separate administrative agency to deal with delinquent youths. There were several important Virginia decisions governing the transfer process in an era of growing concern about serious offenses by juveniles, and the Supreme Court of the United States brought some closure to constitutional attacks on the death penalty for minors.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Professional Responsibility, Susan B. Spielberg
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Professional Responsibility, Susan B. Spielberg
University of Richmond Law Review
This year, 1989, may become known as the Ethics Year as accounts of questionable behavior of public, governmental and leading business figures, many of whom are lawyers, proliferate in the media. Questionable ethical behavior leads to the erosion of public confidence in the legal profession and demonstrates the need for increased scrutiny of the conduct of lawyers in both their professional and private capacities.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Domestic Relations, Lawrence D. Diehl
University of Richmond Law Review
In 1989, the Virginia General Assembly enacted significant legislation authorizing the creation of an experimental family court. The experimental program is an attempt to examine the unification of the circuit court and the juvenile and domestic relations district court's jurisdiction of divorce cases. The program's goals include the elimination of duplicate hearings, the savings of client costs, and the elimination of de novo appeals.

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Wills, Trusts, And Estates, J. Rodney Johnson
University of Richmond Law Review
The 1989 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 twelve cases from the Supreme Court of Virginia, one case from Virginia's intermediate court of appeals, and one federal case in the year ending June 1, 1989, that 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.

The Uniform Custodial Trust Act: An Alternative To Adult Guardianship, Louis A. Mezzullo, Michael C. Roach
The Uniform Custodial Trust Act: An Alternative To Adult Guardianship, Louis A. Mezzullo, Michael C. Roach
University of Richmond Law Review
The problems associated with court appointed guardianship are axiomatic. The public nature of the court proceeding required for appointment of a guardian is of concern to many families who become involved in the process. The expense and delay associated with the original hearing, as well as subsequent hearings that may be necessary in the operation of the guardianship, are also a great disadvantage of guardianship. As a means of managing property, guardianship is cumbersome, expensive and inflexible. Recently, stories of the expense and potential abuse of guardianship for adults have found their way into the popular press. While most people …

Stacking Of Uninsured And Underinsured Motor Vehicle Coverages, John G. Douglass, Francis E. Telegadas
University of Richmond Law Review
Often, the first question asked by a plaintiff's attorney in evaluating a serious automobile accident case is, "How much insurance coverage is available?" That same question can pose perplexing issues for defense attorneys or insurance counsel in assessing a client's exposure to liability. In Virginia, these questions often re- quire the attorney to consider the application of Virginia's Uninsured Motorist statutes and the import of "stacking" of coverage.

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.
