State Income Taxation Of Multijurisdictional Corporations, Part Ii: Reflections On Asarco And Woolworth, Walter Hellerstein
State Income Taxation Of Multijurisdictional Corporations, Part Ii: Reflections On Asarco And Woolworth, Walter Hellerstein
Scholarly Works
The first part of this Article, State Income Taxation of Multiurisdictional Corporations: Reflections on Mobil, Exxon, and H A 5076, did not contemplate a sequel. The Supreme Court's decisions last term in two state corporate income tax cases, however, created an irresistible opportunity to write one. The Court's opinions in ASARC0 and Woolworth picked up where its opinions in Mobil and Exxon left off. Yet the direction taken by these more recent decisions veers sharply from the course ostensibly set by their predecessors. This Article will consider the Court's latest pronouncements in this area in a continuing if quixotic effort …

Affirmative Duty And Constitutional Tort, Michael L. Wells, Thomas A. Eaton
Affirmative Duty And Constitutional Tort, Michael L. Wells, Thomas A. Eaton
Scholarly Works
The Constitution ordinarily places only negative restrictions on government and does not require affirmative acts to assist individuals. The statutory vehicle for most constitutional tort litigation, 42 U.S.C. section 1983, echoes this constitutional principle. It extends liability to "[e]very person who ... [under color of state law] subjects, or causes to be subjected, any ... person" to the deprivation of federal rights, and makes no provision for a duty on governmental defendants to stop others from harming the plaintiff.
For some courts this principle disposes of affirmative duty claims forthwith. A noteworthy example is the recent seventh circuit case Bowers …
Trial Practice And Procedure (Annual Survey Of Georgia Law), C. Ronald Ellington, T. Bart Gary
Trial Practice And Procedure (Annual Survey Of Georgia Law), C. Ronald Ellington, T. Bart Gary
Scholarly Works
This survey contains only a handful of the hundreds of decisions rendered last year by the Georgia appellate courts on points of trial practice and procedure. The decisions chosen for review were selected because they resolved previously undecided issues or aptly illustrated some important principle of civil procedure. Three fairly technical legislative amendments to the Civil Practice Act (CPA) dealing with the applicability of the CPA, the requirement of filing discovery documents, and the effect of a dismissal for failure to prosecute are also noted. This survey will follow the format used in the past by beginning with cases dealing …
Res Ipsa Loquitur And Medical Malpractice In Georgia: A Reassessment, Thomas A. Eaton
Res Ipsa Loquitur And Medical Malpractice In Georgia: A Reassessment, Thomas A. Eaton
Scholarly Works
Part II of this Article addresses the threshold issue of when a court may consider a medical accident as one that ordinarily does not occur in the absence of negligence. This part criticizes the blanket rejection of res ipsa loquitur in Georgia malpractice opinions. Judicial hostility toward res ipsa loquitur in these cases is based in large part on a misunderstanding of the so-called presumption of due care. This part then explains how an inference of negligence may be harmonized with traditional fault-based malpractice doctrine. Finally, this part addresses judicial concerns about the sufficiency of evidence. It is argued that …
Reflections On Commonwealth Edison Co. V. Montana, Mike Mcgrath, Walter Hellerstein
Reflections On Commonwealth Edison Co. V. Montana, Mike Mcgrath, Walter Hellerstein
Scholarly Works
On the final day of its 1980-81 term, the United States Supreme Court handed down its long-awaited decision in Commonwealth Edison Co. v. Montana, which sustained Montana's coal severance tax over commerce and supremacy clause objections. In a six-to-three decision, the Court upheld the right of the states to set their own tax rates without fear of judicial interference. The Court's conclusion was rooted in its recognition that the determination of the rate or amount of a state tax is fundamentally a political question, which "must be resolved through the political process . . . by state legislatures in …
Landlord's Remedies When The Tenant Abandons: Property, Contract, And Leases, Sarajane N. Love
Landlord's Remedies When The Tenant Abandons: Property, Contract, And Leases, Sarajane N. Love
Scholarly Works
Because the current remedial scheme represents a blend of property and contract Law, an adequate assessment requires delving into the property framework that existed before its revamping by contract. In part II, therefore, the focus will be on the remedial options traditionally associated with property law.... Part III will examine the significant contract doctrines in this area of the law -- breach by anticipatory repudiation and the avoidable consequences rule. An important concern is whether the contract and property rules have been or can be melded together in an overall remedial scheme that is conceptually understandable and practically consistent in …
Legal Advocacy, Performance, And Affection, D. Robert Lohn, Milner S. Ball
Legal Advocacy, Performance, And Affection, D. Robert Lohn, Milner S. Ball
Scholarly Works
Professor Geoffrey Hazard's lecture addresses appellate advocacy. That advocate's brief is best, he says, that, short of surrender, concedes most to the opposing party. We assume that Professor Hazard would scarcely have ventured out of New Haven to participate in the distinguished Sibley Lectureship merely to commend to the consideration of the audience an interesting but minor rhetorical ploy. Therefore we read his comments as surely implying more. We interpret his lecture as an invitation to rethink the nature of the courtroom event. The textual openings to our examination of fundamentals are found in various of Professor Hazard's comments--for instance, …

The County Spending Power: An Abbreviated Audit Of The Account, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
The County Spending Power: An Abbreviated Audit Of The Account, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
In Georgia the spending power of the county enjoys a distinctive history. The subject can by no means be relegated to history alone, however, for it currently stands as one of the most perplexing issues in local government law. That further developments in dealing with the issue may occur, indeed unquestionably will occur, does not detract from the account itself.
Defamation In Georgia Local Government Law: A Brief History, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Defamation In Georgia Local Government Law: A Brief History, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
Whether it be contact between local government officers themselves, or between officer and citizen, or between officer and news media, or between media and government itself, the potential for defamatory publications is awesome. Historically, therefore, in the defamation law of any state, a considerable number of the cases typically arise out of the local government process. Indeed, no less a case than New York Times v. Sullivan itself is but modern confirmation of a traditional setting for defamation controversy. Georgia local government law likewise contains its share of defamation disagreements. At an early date, many of the state's common law …
Causation In Constitutional Torts, Thomas A. Eaton
Causation In Constitutional Torts, Thomas A. Eaton
Scholarly Works
The issue of causation is fundamental to every constitutional tort action. Money damages are not recoverable unless the defendant is found to have caused the plaintiff to be deprived of a constitutional right and that deprivation is the cause of some harm. In several recent decisions the Supreme Court has seized upon the language of causation as a means of restricting constitutional tort liability. In Monell v. Department of Social Services, for example, the Court based its rejection of respondeat superior on the implicit meaning of the term "causes." The concept of causation in a constitutional tort context thus requires …

The Rule Against Perpetuities As Applied To Georgia Wills And Trusts: A Survey And Suggestions For Reform, Verner F. Chaffin
The Rule Against Perpetuities As Applied To Georgia Wills And Trusts: A Survey And Suggestions For Reform, Verner F. Chaffin
Scholarly Works
The prevalent criticism seems to be that the Rule Against Perpetuities, as presently applied, does not further the best interests of society and therefore should be changed to make it work better. To determine how well the Rule is operating, a critical examination will be made of Georgia statutory law and decisions involving its application to class gifts, private trusts, charitable gifts, commercial transactions, powers of appointment, and to various types of future interests including reverters, rights of entry, and executory interests. This Article will also explore techniques for avoiding the lethal effect of the Rule through draftsmanship, judicial construction, …
United States Jurisdiction Over Extraterritorial Crime, Christopher L. Blakesley
United States Jurisdiction Over Extraterritorial Crime, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
The term jurisdiction may be defined as the authority to affect legal interests -- to prescribe rules of law (legislative jurisdiction), to adjudicate legal questions (judicial jurisdiction) and to enforce judgments the judiciary made (enforcement jurisdiction). The definition, nature and scope of jurisdiction vary depending on the context in which it is to be applied. United States domestic law, for example, defines and applies notions of jurisdiction pursuant to the United States constitutional provisions relating to the separation of powers. Within the United States, jurisdiction is defined and applied in a variegated fashion depending on whether a legal problem is …

Electoral Folklore: An Empirical Examination Of The Abortion Issue, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Electoral Folklore: An Empirical Examination Of The Abortion Issue, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Though partisans on both sides claim credit for electoral victories and defeats, and politicians treat both groups with deference, few studies have attempted to gauge the impact of the abortion issue in more than an anecdotal manner. In 1976, NARAL noted that of the 13 members of the U.S. Representatives that lost re-election bids, nine were pro-life, and four were pro-choice. A study conducted by the Alan Guttmacher Institute of the 1974 House races found that, in “competitive” districts, 92 percent of the pro-choice candidates studied were re-elected while only 61 percent of the pro-life candidates were returned to Congress, …
