Bankrupt Tithers, The Eight Circuit & The Supreme Court: Still Praying For Rfra Relief From Bankruptcy Law, Rachel A. Wilson Jun 1997

Bankrupt Tithers, The Eight Circuit & The Supreme Court: Still Praying For Rfra Relief From Bankruptcy Law, Rachel A. Wilson

Missouri Law Review

The enactment of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is one of the most important and controversial congressional acts since Congress drafted the Free Exercise Clause. RFRA greatly increases the likelihood that a free exercise of religion claim will succeed by restoring the compelling governmental interest test. Prior to RFRA, the Supreme Court abandoned this test in Employment Division v. Smith Due to the pressure President Clinton brought to bear on the Justice Department in the instant case, it withdrew its brief, which denied that RFRA applied to this bankruptcy case. Without the Justice Department's input, the Eighth Circuit applied …


Misappropriation Theory As A Permissible Basis Of Section 10(B) Liability, The, Heather L. Reinsch Jun 1997

Misappropriation Theory As A Permissible Basis Of Section 10(B) Liability, The, Heather L. Reinsch

Missouri Law Review

Whether the misappropriation theory is a permissible basis for liability under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act is an issue that has split the U.S. Courts of Appeals. The issue turns on the statutory interpretation of section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, as well as policy considerations. The Supreme Court finally settled the issue in United States v. O'Hagan, when it reversed the Eighth Circuit and permitted the United States government to base section 10(b) liability on the misappropriation theory. The effect of the Court's decision is to make a person liable under section 10(b) if he received material and …

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Recognized But Undefined Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, M. Brett Fulkerson Apr 1997

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Recognized But Undefined Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, M. Brett Fulkerson

Missouri Law Review

Instead of demanding every man's evidence, as is the general presumption, courts recognize the need for some evidence to remain private. Federal Rule of Evidence 501 governs federal evidentiary privileges without defining or identifying specific privileges. As a result, courts have developed privileges on a case-by-case basis, including the recognition of a psychotherapist-patient privilege. As different circuits pass judgment on the psychotherapist-patient privilege, conflict inevitably arises. Some circuits simply reject the privilege, while others recognize the privilege but apply it differently. The recognition of the psychotherapist-patient privilege was the necessary first step, but leaving the privilege undefined encourages litigation and …


New Jersey Radium Dial Workers And The Dynamics Of Occupational Disease Litigation In The Early Twentieth Century, The, Kenneth A. Deville, Mark E. Steiner Apr 1997

New Jersey Radium Dial Workers And The Dynamics Of Occupational Disease Litigation In The Early Twentieth Century, The, Kenneth A. Deville, Mark E. Steiner

Missouri Law Review

Between 1917 and 1923 over 800 women worked for the United States Radium Corporation ("USRC") in Orange, New Jersey handpainting wrist-watch faces with a substance made luminescent by radioactive materials. While these workers were exposed to injurious, even mortal, levels of radiation, less than a dozen received any compensation for their injuries. These features compounded the workers' legal problems once they entered the formal legal system by dramatically complicating attempts to prove causation, by raising the specter of the statute of limitations defense, and by playing a major role in the settlement negotiation process. As a consequence, even when some …
