"On Horror's Head Horrors Accumulate": A Reflective Comment On Capital Child Rape Legislation, J. Richard Broughton Jan 2000

"On Horror's Head Horrors Accumulate": A Reflective Comment On Capital Child Rape Legislation, J. Richard Broughton

Duquesne Law Review

The constitutionality of imposing capital punishment for the crime of child rape remains an open question. The author asserts that state capital child rape statutes are constitutional. The author bases his conclusion on the United States Supreme Court's capital punishment decisions, the historical treatment of sex offenses and non-homicide capital crimes, and the brutality of rape, itself. Finally, the author urges caution to ensure that capital punishment is not meted out in a racially discriminatory manner.

V. Laidlaw Environmental Services (Toc), Inc., Nicholas J. Deiuliis Jan 2000

Deterrence Effect Of Civil Penalties, Potential Loss Of Recreational And Economic Use By Plaintiff Organization's Members, And Absence Of A Clear Indication Of Eliminating Future Violations Will Meet Article Iii Mootness And Standing Requirements For Clean Water Act ("Cwa") Citizen Suits: Friends Of The Earth, Inc. V. Laidlaw Environmental Services (Toc), Inc., Nicholas J. Deiuliis

Duquesne Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that citizen suits brought under the CWA are moot due to subsequent compliance with permit limits or subsequent facility closure only if it is absolutely clear that the permit violations cannot reasonably be expected to recur, that organizations have standing to seek civil penalties under the CWA if the penalties deter ongoing permit violations that could continue in the future and create the likelihood of redressing the organization members' injuries, and that plaintiff's failure to appeal a federal court's denial of injunctive relief does not moot a civil penalties claim on appeal. …

A Social Security Claimant's Statement That She Is Disabled And Unable To Work Does Not Necessarily Preclude A Subsequent Ada Wrongful Termination Claim: Cleveland V. Policy Management Systems Corporation, Jane M. Keenan Jan 2000

A Social Security Claimant's Statement That She Is Disabled And Unable To Work Does Not Necessarily Preclude A Subsequent Ada Wrongful Termination Claim: Cleveland V. Policy Management Systems Corporation, Jane M. Keenan

Duquesne Law Review

The Supreme Court of the United States held that the application for or receipt of social security disability benefits does not automatically estop a plaintiff from maintaining an ADA claim and that no rebuttable presumption arises when the two claims coincide; however, such a plaintiff must be prepared to sufficiently explain any apparent contradiction between (1) statements of total disability and inability to work made for the purpose of obtaining disability benefits and (2) a claim that the plaintiff is able to work but has been wrongfully terminated under the ADA.

Blending The Law Of Sales With The Common Law Of Third Party Beneficiaries, Gary L. Monserud Jan 2000

Blending The Law Of Sales With The Common Law Of Third Party Beneficiaries, Gary L. Monserud

Duquesne Law Review

In the majority of jurisdictions that have adopted Uniform Commercial Code section 2-318, certain plaintiffs are precluded from recovering for economic loss that is not related to personal injury. The author submits, after reviewing the common law of third party beneficiaries, that section 2-318 should be blended with third party beneficiary law. Consequently, according to the author, non-privity plaintiffs that suffer economic losses should be able to recover on the basis of those economic losses under certain circumstances.
