The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover Sep 1959

The Curtis Doctrine: The Rights Of A Minority Union To Picket, John C. Hoover

Washington Law Review

In Curtis Bros., Inc., the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) first enunciated the rule that picketing for recognition by a union representing a minority of the employees was an unfair labor practice because it violated section 8(b) (1) (A) of the National Labor Relations Act. The doctrine has never had the full support of all Board members. Moreover the initial reaction of the reviewing courts to this ruling has been unfavorable. The Curtis doctrine has been entirely rejected by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, upon review of the Board's decision of the case, and partially rejected by one …

"The Place Of The Wrong": Torts And The Conflict Of Laws, George W. Stumberg Sep 1959

"The Place Of The Wrong": Torts And The Conflict Of Laws, George W. Stumberg

Washington Law Review

In an article published in 1951, a well-known English authority on conflict of laws remarked, "To a foreign observer, it seems extraordinary that there should be so much uncertainty in the United States as to what law governs the validity of a contract, and so much uncritical acceptance of the rule that tort liability is governed by the law of the place of wrong."' The writer was referring, of course, to the rule embodied in the Restatement of Conflict of Laws, according to which the place of the wrong is that place where the tortious conduct of the defendant has …

Right To Jury Trial In Washington—Present And Future, Philip A. Trautman Sep 1959

Right To Jury Trial In Washington—Present And Future, Philip A. Trautman

Washington Law Review

A perennial problem confronting the attorney preparing for trial is whether his client has a right to a jury. In many, probably most, instances a trial to the court will be desired by all parties concerned. This may be because of the fear of prejudice on the part of a jury, or the desire for a more speedy trial before the judge, or the object of cutting expenses, or any of the other innumerable factors to be weighed in determining whether judge or jury is best for one's particular case. In other instances the sole question at issue will be …

Answering a complaint, an inspector from the Baltimore health department searched defendant's neighborhood.
