One Rule To Compensate Them All, Noam Sher Sep 2018

One Rule To Compensate Them All, Noam Sher

West Virginia Law Review

The article claims that there is a unique compensation criterion that should be applied in all civil wrongs, inter alia, in tort, intellectual property and property law. Where an individual wrongfully infringes the right of another, the taker should be obliged to repay the victim her damages plus half the additional attributed net profits derived from the taking. This article names this criterion the Golden Rule. The suggested criterion contains three main components. First, for example, a firm increased manufacturing with profits of $1,000, acted wrongfully, and, as a result, someone suffered damages of $600-the taker should pay the victim …

"Deprogramming": From The Defense Counsel's Perspective, Albert R. Vermeire Oct 1981

"Deprogramming": From The Defense Counsel's Perspective, Albert R. Vermeire

West Virginia Law Review

We begin with the proposition that the right of freedom of thought protected by the First Amendment against State action includes both the right to speak freely and the right to refrain from speaking at all. A system which secures the right to proselytize religious, political and ideological causes must also guarantee the concomitant right to decline to foster such concepts. The right to speak and the right to refrain from speaking are complementary components of the broader concept of 'individual freedom of mind.' Anguished parents and sympathetic judges; concerned attorneys and psychologists; reality-inducing therapists, police officers and adult or …


Torts--Parent's Recovery For Loss Of Society And Companionship Of Child, Michael B. Victorson Jan 1978

Torts--Parent's Recovery For Loss Of Society And Companionship Of Child, Michael B. Victorson

West Virginia Law Review

In situations where a child has been killed or injured as the result of a third party's negligent, tortious act, case law overwhelmingly supports the view that a parent may not recover damages from the third-party tortfeasor for the loss of the child's society and companionship. A growing minority of cases, however, have expreessly recognized that such losses are recoverable, and other cases have employed language susceptible to the interpretation that recovery for such losses may be allowed. While most of this development has been in the area of wrongful death, rather than personal injury, the analysis for one area …
