The Jury System And Special Verdicts., Judge Ernest Guinn
St. Mary's Law Journal

As such, it is satisfying in charging a jury to explain fully and completely the legal principles involved in a case, the rights and duties of the parties, and the facts that the jury must deduct from the evidence presented to reach a verdict. Those who hold contrary views do not trust jurors, and in fact, do not trust the jury system. The views of professors, lawyers, and judges on this question and the reasoning for and against a full disclosure of the case to a jury …
Want Of Trustee As Affecting The Creation Of Trusts., Arthur Yao
Want Of Trustee As Affecting The Creation Of Trusts., Arthur Yao
St. Mary's Law Journal
If a court determines that an instrument created a trust, that trust will not fail for want of a trustee. The analysis for determining whether a trust was created, however, depends on the context the failure arises in. For testamentary trusts, as long as the testator’s intention is clearly manifested in the will, equity will enforce it regardless of the cause of the failure of trustee. The analysis for inter vivos conveyances requires the court to determine whether the failure for want of a trustee was initial or subsequent. If the failure was subsequent, a validly created trust will not …

Informing A Jury Of The Legal Effect Of Its Answers., James G. Denton
St. Mary's Law Journal
Limiting jury consideration to facts, as opposed to the outcome, best serves special issue systems. The purpose of the special issues system is to ensure juries answer the presented questions without bias or prejudice. Though several writers have persuasively advocated for advising juries of the consequences of their findings, doing so seems to undermine the purpose of special issue systems because it allows for juries to answer questions with reference to their desired outcome. To ensure juries answer issues on the facts alone, trial judges should not give a jury, directly or indirectly, any information that may apprise them of …
