Administrative Law—Shorelines Management—Judicial Review Of Shorelines Hearings Board Decisions—Department Of Ecology V. Ballard Elks Lodge No. 827, 84 Wn. 2d 551, 527 P.2d 1121 (1974), Glenna Spitzer Hall
Washington Law Review
Appellant, a fraternal lodge owning a parcel of real estate including tidelands on Shilshole Bay in Seattle, Washington, applied to the City for a substantial development permit pursuant to requirements of the Washington Shoreline Management Act (SMA). The initial application proposed an over-the-water lodge building, constructed entirely on filled tideland, exceeding the SMA's 35-foot height restriction. A second, modified application reduced the building's height, provided an easement for public access to the water's edge, and proposed construction of the lodge building over the water on pilings rather than on filled tidelands. The area selected for construction was one of relatively …
Property—Probate Law & Procedure—No More Probate? Wash. Rev. Code § 11.02.090 (1974), Tom Graafstra
Property—Probate Law & Procedure—No More Probate? Wash. Rev. Code § 11.02.090 (1974), Tom Graafstra
Washington Law Review
A new section of the Revised Code of Washington, effective October 1, 1974, has the potential for making probate the exception in Washington rather than the rule. The statute, R.C.W. § 11.02.090, characterizes as nontestamentary certain provisions in a variety of written instruments and enables property to pass at death without compliance with the statute of wills. It may extend the concept of probate-avoidance, best exemplified by the community property agreement, to a broader range of circumstances than under prior Washington case law. Although this section makes the Washington law on probate-avoiding instruments clearer and more consistent, as it was …
Labor Law—Arbitration And Award—Limits To Arbitral Authority And A Standard Of Review For Arbitral Awards Against Successor Employers—United Steelworkers V. United States Gypsum Co., 492 F.2d 714 (5th Cir.), Cert. Denied 419 U.S. 998 (1974), Eric Richter
Washington Law Review
In United Steelworkers v. United States Gypsum Co. the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reviewed an arbitral award against a successor employer. In so doing, the court applied the doctrine which traditionally has governed arbitration awards against parties who have contracted to arbitrate. This note will examine the arbitral process in Gypsum against the background of the successor's duty to arbitrate and the standards evolved to govern this arbitration process. It concludes that the special circumstances under which the successor employer faces arbitration require imposition of cognizable limits on the authority of the arbitrator, subject to the review …
Direct Election Of The President Without A Constitutional Amendment: A Call For State Action, Dale Read, Jr.
Direct Election Of The President Without A Constitutional Amendment: A Call For State Action, Dale Read, Jr.
Washington Law Review
This article will suggest that this focus on the constitutional amendment process for changing the electoral college has been misdirected. The states, without federal action, possess the capability of implementing the direct popular election of the President. This article will examine the background of electoral college reform and will propose a "National Vote Plan" to achieve direct popular presidential election independently of the constitutional amendment process.
Community And Separate Property Interests In Life Insurance Proceeds: A Fresh Look, James M. Higbee
Community And Separate Property Interests In Life Insurance Proceeds: A Fresh Look, James M. Higbee
Washington Law Review
This comment examines the difficult problem of characterizing the proceeds of a life insurance policy as separate or community property where the policy insures the life of a spouse and premiums have been paid with both separate and community funds. The problem commonly arises when a person takes out a life insurance policy while single, pays the first few premiums from separate funds, and then maintains the policy with community funds following marriage. Upon death of the insured spouse, the characterization of the proceeds as separate or community or partially both is significant for two reasons. Not only may such …
Criminal Procedure—Filing By Information: Determination Of Probable Cause Required Before Extended Restraint On Liberty—Gerstein V. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103 (1975), Cynthia B. Whitaker
Criminal Procedure—Filing By Information: Determination Of Probable Cause Required Before Extended Restraint On Liberty—Gerstein V. Pugh, 420 U.S. 103 (1975), Cynthia B. Whitaker
Washington Law Review
Robert Pugh was arrested in Florida without a warrant and charged by prosecutor's information. Pugh and other incarcerated arrestees charged by information without a preliminary hearing brought a class action suit in federal district court challenging the constitutionality of the charging procedure. Plaintiffs maintained that the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment required that accused persons be accorded a determination of probable cause for detention soon after their arrest. They also argued that the prosecuting attorney was not sufficiently neutral or detached to make the necessary determination. The district court accepted the plaintiffs' arguments, and the Court of Appeals …
Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson
Professional Responsibility: Education And Enforcement, Robert H. Aronson
Washington Law Review
The failure of the Bar to regulate effectively the ethical conduct of its members is not solely the failure of law school teaching methodology. A much more serious deficiency-and one far more difficult to resolve—concerns the way lawyers perceive and attempt to enforce professional responsibility. Instead of providing an analytical framework which the individual lawyer can employ in considering problems arising in practice, the legal profession has chosen a series of ambiguous and only tangentially related rules which are often contradictory or misleading. Because these situation-oriented rules do not clearly encompass even a majority of the myriad factors potentially relevant …
