Dakota Civil Code: More Notes For An Uncelebrated Centennial, William B. Fisch Jan 1968

Dakota Civil Code: More Notes For An Uncelebrated Centennial, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

In an earlier article in this journal, I sketched and discussed the Dakota Civil Code as originally drafted for New York by David Dudley Field, the historical and conceptual background into which the work was cast, and some of the departures made in the Code from what appear to have been then generally accepted common law classifications, terminology and substantive rules. In this sequel I propose to consider the history of the Code after its completion in 1865 by Field's commission, concentrating on three jurisdictions: New York, where it was rejected after twenty-five years of wearying debate, amendment, parliamentary maneuver, …

The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1968

The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

The right-privilege distinction, as it appeared in an early statement by Justice Holmes, has long hampered individuals within the public sector in protecting themselves against arbitrary governmental action. In this article Professor Van Alstyne reviews the uses and misuses to which the "privilege" concept has been put and then examines those doctrines whose flanking attacks have gradually eroded its efficacy. But none of these doctrines comes to grips with Holmes' basic idea of a "privilege" to which substantive due process is inapplicable. Applying Holmes' own jurisprudence, the author argues that the concept of "privilege" is today no longer viable, and …


The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1968

The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This examination argues that the position that a student’s rights are determined by whether he lives on or off-campus is unraveled by the institution’s position as a state actor. This article disposes of the notion that the university is equivalent to a landlord in property and contract rights and discusses how this distinction affects students’ rights.


The Judicial Trend Toward Student Academic Freedom, William W. Van Alstyne Jan 1968

The Judicial Trend Toward Student Academic Freedom, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Publications

This analysis references the growing likelihood that even “private” colleges and universities may be viewed as state actors due to these institutions growing reliance on public funds and their performance of what is often considered a public function. Given such, this examination discusses the growing sphere of student rights.

Competition In Legal Services Under The War On Poverty, Eric Wright Feb 1967

Competition In Legal Services Under The War On Poverty, Eric Wright

Faculty Publications

The creation of the legal services programs of the war on poverty has focused attention on the deficiencies in the legal treatment of the poor. Despite general agreement that the poor need legal services, however, there has been a continuous debate over the control of the legal programs and the proper role of the poor in administering them. Behind the dispute over control is a difference of opinion about the goals of the legal services programs. Because these programs were established to help fulfill the policy of the Economic Opportunity Act of I964 "to eliminate the paradox of poverty in …

Australian And American Water Allocation Systems Compared, Peter N. Davis Jan 1967

Australian And American Water Allocation Systems Compared, Peter N. Davis

Faculty Publications

Amid general plenty, local and regional shortages of water have appeared in the eastern United States.1 These shortages are largely the result of intense concentrations of water demand on the more important rivers-rivers which, for the most part, are heavily polluted This problem is heightened by the fact that the location of major population and industrial centers has only partially depended on availability of water supplies. In many areas, local surface and ground water supplies are inadequate and water must be imported to make up the deficit." Moreover, demands on water supplies for supplementary irrigation, for hydro-electric power, and for …


Conflict Of Spousal Immunity Laws: The Legislature Takes A Hand, Dale A. Whitman Jan 1967

Conflict Of Spousal Immunity Laws: The Legislature Takes A Hand, Dale A. Whitman

Faculty Publications

During the 1967 session of the North Carolina General Assembly, the legislators made a novel excursion into the realm of conflict of laws, modifying the state's traditional rule of lex loci delicti as it applies to spousal immunity. The purpose of this comment is to explore the legal background and examine the possible effects of the new statute, and to consider its implications for existing choice-of- law doctrine. At common law, neither spouse could bring an action against the other for negligently inflicted injury. Such a rule leads to a good deal of manifest injustice, and it has been abandoned …

Toward A Restatement Of Professional Ethics, William F. Swindler Jun 1966

Toward A Restatement Of Professional Ethics, William F. Swindler

Faculty Publications

The attitude of the courts and the practitioners is in a state of change, recognizing instances where group-practice is necessary and proper. Professor Swindler asserts that the Canons of Ethics must be revised to indicate the acceptance by the legal profession of such group-practice, particularly if the indigent and low-income client is to be served properly. Suggested revisions to the applicable Canons reflect the author's opinion.


Legal Aid Program For North Dakota, William B. Fisch Jan 1966

Legal Aid Program For North Dakota, William B. Fisch

Faculty Publications

Since the summer of 1965, the State Bar Association of North Dakota, through a special subcommittee on Legal Aid and Defense of Indigents and its standing committee on the same subject,1 has been investigating the need for legal aid in North Dakota, possible sources for funds to finance legal aid programs in the state, and possible forms which a program might take to meet the need. As a result of these investigations, a proposal has been prepared by the committee for submission to the Legal Services Program of the Office of Economic Opportunity (headed by Mr. Bamberger), for federal funds …
