Malicious Prosecution Counterclaims Now Allowable In The Principal Action—Implicit Abandonement Of The Doctrine Of Strict Limitation—Wash. Rev. Code § 4.24.350 (Supp. 1977), Richard D. Vogt

Washington Law Review

With the enactment of R.C.W. § 4.24.350,however, the Washington State Legislature has made the malicious plaintiff an endangered species in this state. The statute eliminates two major common law roadblocks—one procedural, the other substantive—to successful assertion of an action for malicious prosecution of an ordinary civil suit. Unfortunately, because the new law is so intimidatingly expansive in its apparent scope, potential plaintiffs with arguably valid claims may also be deterred from seeking legal redress.

Miranda V. Arizona: The Emerging Pattern, Evelyn G. Skaltsounis Jan 1978

Miranda V. Arizona: The Emerging Pattern, Evelyn G. Skaltsounis

University of Richmond Law Review

In Miranda v. Arizona, the United States Supreme Court set forth a series of specific guidelines to determine the admissibility at trial of statements elicited during police interrogation of a criminal suspect. Since 1971, the Burger Court has whittled away at the mandates of Miranda. It is possible that one major factor underlies this erosion process: the very frustrating reality that, in many situations, an obviously guilty party is allowed to go free because "the constable has blundered."

Ohio Rule 8(C) And Related Rules: Some Notes On The Pleading Of Affirmative Defenses, J. Patrick Browne

Cleveland State Law Review

The adoption of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure on July 1, 1970, ushered in the age of "Pleader's Lib" for the plaintiff's attorney. In code days, a pleader had to allege facts which showed a cause of action. Under the rules, however, a statement of claim' need only state the bare operative facts which show that the claimant has a claim for relief, and the complaint cannot be dismissed for failure to state such a claim unless it appears beyond doubt from the face of the pleading that the claimant can prove no set of facts entitling him or …
