Warrantless Searches And Seizures In Virginia, Ronald J. Bacigal Jan 1983

Warrantless Searches And Seizures In Virginia, Ronald J. Bacigal

Law Faculty Publications

There is a well-recognized lack of consistency and clarity in fourth amendment decisions. At times, each search and seizure case seen is unique and the decisions appear to rest on factual determinations rather than on legal principles. Nonetheless, it is desirable to have some understanding of the basic principles of the fourth amendment, and the way in which these principles affect individual cases.

The Abolition Of The Forms Of Action In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson Jan 1983

The Abolition Of The Forms Of Action In Virginia, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

The common law procedure for initiating actions at law in the English courts required a plaintiff to obtain a writ invoking the jurisdiction of the court and to file a declaration setting forth the facts that justified instigation of the suit and established the cause of the action. This clumsy and archaic system of litigation was abolished by a single chop of the legislative guillotine in New York in 1848. England followed suit in 1875, and the United States federal courts in 1938. Writs and declarations were replaced by simple forms which were copied from the practice of the equity …

U.C.C. Filings: Changing Circumstances Can Make A Right Filing Wrong. But Can They Make A Wrong Filing Right?, David Frisch

Law Faculty Publications

A secured party who wishes to perfect an Article 9 security interest by filing must file a proper financing statement in the correct office. If a security interest is perfected, changing circumstances, such as a lapse in time after a change in the location of the collateral, may transform the perfected security interest into an unperfected one. Consequently, the security interest, much to the dismay of the secured party, will be subject to all the deficiencies of an unperfected interest. But, under the Uniform Commercial Code, can the converse be true? That is, for example, can an unperfected security interest, …

A School Board's Authority Versus A Student's Right To Receive Information, Timothy L. Coggins Jan 1983

A School Board's Authority Versus A Student's Right To Receive Information, Timothy L. Coggins

Law Faculty Publications

This note examines the considerations which led the United States Supreme Court to determine that a school board's authority over the administration of the schools is not absolute if the exercise of this authority violates the constitutional rights of the students. Second. the note explores the development of a student's right to receive information through a school library as a guarantee of the first amendment, a right that cannot be ignored by a school board when the board removes books which it considers to be inappropriate either because of the ideas presented in the books or because of the local …

Title Examination In Virginia, W. Wade Berryhill Jan 1983

Title Examination In Virginia, W. Wade Berryhill

Law Faculty Publications

The purpose of this article is to provide an understanding of the basic procedures of title examination. The emphasis is on the mechanics and practical considerations involved in a search of title. Although the focus of any legal work is "the law," this article is not meant to be a legal treatise. It is rather a practical "how to" guide. The author hopes, however, that this writing will not only acquaint the reader with the basic techniques of title examination but will also assist the title examiner in solving the related problems which arise when some of the more common …
