The Attorney-Client Privilege And The Work Product Immunity Doctrine For The Corporate Client, Nancy C. Cody

University of Baltimore Law Review

Corporate counsel are charged with the task of protecting information relayed to them or compiled at the behest of a client. This article examines problems encountered by corporate counsel attempting to invoke the attorney-client privilege or work product immunity doctrine to protect information. The author recommends that corporate counsel implement procedures designed to retain confidentiality and remain abreast of modifications in case law pertaining to attorney-client privilege and work product immunity. The confidentiality of corporate information is best preserved by adherence to an organized system of procedures for gathering information.

Fair Treatment For Contractors Doing Business With The State Of Maryland, Scott A. Livingston Jan 1986

Fair Treatment For Contractors Doing Business With The State Of Maryland, Scott A. Livingston

University of Baltimore Law Review

Prior to 1981, there existed in Maryland a wide assortment of procurement laws, because virtually every state agency used different procedures to award procurement contracts.

This article examines past and present procurement practices in Maryland and provides suggestions to guide future modification of the Procurement Article. The author posits that by enacting the Procurement Article, the Maryland General Assembly enacted into positive law the important public policy of providing fair treatment for contractors who do business with the state.

Comment: Duty To Warn And The Sophisticated User Defense In Products Liability Cases, Christopher P. Downs Jan 1986

Comment: Duty To Warn And The Sophisticated User Defense In Products Liability Cases, Christopher P. Downs

University of Baltimore Law Review

The sophisticated user defense provides a defense to manufacturers in products liability failure to warn cases. The defense is premised on the theory that a manufacturer has no duty to warn users of the product who have the sophisticated knowledge necessary to understand the risks associated with use of the product. Courts are in disagreement, however, as to the validity of this defense in failure to warn actions. In this comment, the author traces the development of products liability law and analyzes the application of Restatement (Second) of Torts sections 388 and 402A in failure to warn cases. The author …

Comments: Forfeiture Of Attorneys' Fees Under The Comprehensive Forfeiture Act Of 1984: Not What Congress Ordered, Daniel A. Guy Jr. Jan 1986

Comments: Forfeiture Of Attorneys' Fees Under The Comprehensive Forfeiture Act Of 1984: Not What Congress Ordered, Daniel A. Guy Jr.

University of Baltimore Law Review

In 1984 Congress amended the criminal forfeiture provisions of the RICO and CCE statutes. The Department of Justice has interpreted the amended laws to allow for the restraint and forfeiture of assets transferred by a defendant to defense counsel as compensation for legitimate legal services. This comment explores the legislative history of the amendments, as well as the constitutional and ethical concerns which arise under the Department's interpretation, to conclude that Congress did not intend bona fide attorneys' fees to be subject to the forfeiture provisions of the RICO and CCE statutes.

Comments: Transfusion-Associated Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (Aids): Blood Bank Liability?, David A. Roling Jan 1986

Comments: Transfusion-Associated Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (Aids): Blood Bank Liability?, David A. Roling

University of Baltimore Law Review

The Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) can be contracted via a blood transfusion. A legal question of growing importance in Maryland and across the country is whether a blood bank which supplies AIDS-tainted blood should be liable to a blood transfusee for the contraction of AIDS. Inherent in that question is a balancing of society's need to protect blood banks from liability and the individual's right of recovery. This comment examines that question. The author begins with a historical review of blood bank liability for blood tainted with viruses other than AIDS and then discusses various theories of liability under which …


Product Liability In Maryland: Traditional And Emerging Theories Of Recovery And Defense, Edward S. Digges Jr., John G. Billmyre Jan 1986

Product Liability In Maryland: Traditional And Emerging Theories Of Recovery And Defense, Edward S. Digges Jr., John G. Billmyre

University of Baltimore Law Review

In recent years, product liability law in Maryland and across the country has placed greater responsibility on the manufacturers of products causing injury. In this article, the authors review the traditional theories of manufacturer liability and discuss the novel theories being advanced to expand that liability. Also considered are the defenses available to manufacturers, both traditional and emerging. The authors conclude with the prognosis that because the pendulum has swung so far in the direction of placing greater responsibility on manufacturers, further expansion of manufacturer liability is both unlikely and inappropriate.

Comments: Blessed Are The Faithful: An Analysis Of The Scope And Applicability Of The Good Faith Exception To The Exclusionary Rule, Thomas Page Lloyd

University of Baltimore Law Review

The fourth amendment gives the people the right to be secure from unreasonable searches and seizures of their person, houses, papers, and effects. For years, the Supreme Court has mandated that any property seized in violation of the fourth amendment be excluded from evidence at the defendant's trial. Recently, however, the Supreme Court has created a good faith exception to the exclusionary rule and caused uncertainty regarding the new exception's application. The author reviews the development of the exclusionary rule and analyzes the effect of the good faith exception. The author also discusses the application of the exception to searches …


The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission Regulations: Process Of Enactment And Effect On Private Property Interests, Solomon Liss, Lee R. Epstein Jan 1986

The Chesapeake Bay Critical Area Commission Regulations: Process Of Enactment And Effect On Private Property Interests, Solomon Liss, Lee R. Epstein

University of Baltimore Law Review

In 1984, the Maryland General Assembly enacted several bills to restore declining water quality and habitat values in the Chesapeake Bay, the most controversial of which was the Critical Areas Legislation. This article, co-authored by the Chairman of the Commission, discusses the creation of the Chesapeake Bay Critical Areas Commission and the development of its regulations. The article then examines the constitutional issue raised by the Criteria's requirement that certain land areas surrounding the Bay have a density of no more than one dwelling unit per twenty acres. The authors conclude that this highly debated density requirement constitutes neither a …
