The Personal Accountability Of Public Employees, Robert Vaughn
The Personal Accountability Of Public Employees, Robert Vaughn
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: The most important developments in the nature of the public employment relationships have been those which increased the personal accountability of public employees. Civil service systems, particularly in regulatory areas, have been criticized as insulating public employees and removing incentives to perform their public duties.' Recent judicial decisions developing tort liability of public employees and the recent action of the United States Congress in passing the Freedom of Information Act [FOIA) sanctions provision portend future use of the concept of personal accountability as a means of controlling administrative abuse. Throughout deliberation on the FOIA sanctions provision, opposition to the …
Modernizing Title Search Practices By Legislation, Barlow Burke
Modernizing Title Search Practices By Legislation, Barlow Burke
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: Recently the Pennsylvania Bar Association has encouraged its committees on Real Property matters to consider a variety of legislative devices to enable lawyers to search real estate titles more efficiently. The problem of efficiency in title searches is not new nor is it peculiar to Pennsylvania. Perhaps it is true that the states in the union with a colonial past have longer chains of titles to search, but the present volume of conveyancing transactions burdens the record of deeds offices in almost all large urban areas. Land title record offices there are being buried under a deluge of paper.Inefficient …
Criminal Law Reform In The District Of Columbia, David Aaronson
Criminal Law Reform In The District Of Columbia, David Aaronson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: The prospects for meaningful, comprehensive revision of the District of Columbia's substantive criminal laws have improved markedly in recent years. In the most promising of recent political developments, Congress established a Law Review Commission for the District of Columbia in August of 1974 with a broad mandate to give special consideration to revision of the criminal code.'

The Sanctions Provisions Of The Freedom Of Information Act, Robert Vaughn
The Sanctions Provisions Of The Freedom Of Information Act, Robert Vaughn
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: The sanctions provision of the Freedom of Information Act amendments (Amendments)' provides a procedure whereby agency personnel who have withheld requested information may be subject to disciplinary action if a court, in ordering production of the documents and assessing against the United States reasonable attorneys' fees and other litigation costs, also issues a finding that a question of fact exists as to whether agency personnel acted arbitrarily or capriciously. Although the provision is relatively brief, it is potentially the most important amendment to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and one of the most important congressional enactments in recent …
A Reconsideration Of The Fourth Amendment's Doctrine Of Search Incident To Arrest.Pdf, David Aaronson
A Reconsideration Of The Fourth Amendment's Doctrine Of Search Incident To Arrest.Pdf, David Aaronson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
INTRODUCTION: The doctrine of search incident to arrest provides that, as an incident to every lawful full custody arrest, law enforcement officers have an automatic right to conduct a thorough search of the arrestee and the area within his immediate control.' Although the Supreme Court has stated that the search incident to arrest exception to the fourth amendment's general requirement of a search warrant has been "settled from its first enunciation," the doctrine should be reexamined in terms of constitutional jurisprudence.
