Current Problems With Venue In Georgia, C. Ronald Ellington Oct 1975

Current Problems With Venue In Georgia, C. Ronald Ellington

Popular Media

Georgia's first constitution, the Constitution of 1777, contained a section providing that "all matters in dispute between contending parties, residing in different counties, shall be tried in the county where the defendant resides, except in cases of real estate, which shall be tried in the county where such real estate lies." The practice of specifying rules of venue in the constitution thus dates from the very beginning of our state and has been repeated and expanded in subsequent constitutional revisions. The Constitution of 1798, for example, added the rule that joint obligors, residing in different counties, may be sued in …

Federal And State Regulations Pertaining To Systematic Collections. I. A Case Of Inadvertent Violation Of Federal Regulations, Jerry R. Choate, Hugh H. Genoways

University of Nebraska State Museum: Mammalogy Papers

On 25 April 1975, at the twenty-second annual meeting of the Southwestern Association of Naturalists (SWAN), at the University of Oklahoma Biological Station, President Keith A. Arnold appointed Jerry Choate to investigate current regulations pertaining to collection and transport of scientific specimens in the region of representation (including Mexico) or SWAN.

Henry V. Mississippi And The Adequate State Ground: Proposals For A Revised Doctrine, Terrance Sandalow Jan 1975

Henry V. Mississippi And The Adequate State Ground: Proposals For A Revised Doctrine, Terrance Sandalow

Book Chapters

More than a century ago, the then former Justice Curtis reminded the Bar that "questions of jurisdiction were questions of power as between the United States and the several States." Accordingly, any expansion of the jurisdiction of federal courts is an occasion for alarm for those to whom the slogan of "state's rights" is a substitute for analysis. Justice Curtis was aware, however, that Scylla and Charybdis were both to be avoided. Failure to extend the jurisdiction of federal courts to appropriate cases may be as great a disservice to the federal system as an undue expansion of that jurisdiction. …


The Division Of Legal Labor In Rural Haiti, Pnina Lahav Jan 1975

The Division Of Legal Labor In Rural Haiti, Pnina Lahav

Faculty Scholarship

This paper explores the institutional facilities available to Haitian peasants for the settlement of their disputes. More specifically, it compares the institution of the Chef de Section - the lowest administrative appointee in the Haitian countryside and the Justice of the Peace - the lowest ranking judicial institution provided by the Haitian legal system. The paper further advances the hypothesis that at the present time there is a shift in the division of labor between the two institutions, in favor of the Justice of the Peace, and that this shift may be attributed to processes of social differentiation currently detectable …
