Double Jeopardy In West Virginia: State Ex Rel. Dowdy V. Robinson, Gary A. Collias Dec 1980

Double Jeopardy In West Virginia: State Ex Rel. Dowdy V. Robinson, Gary A. Collias

West Virginia Law Review

In State ex rel. Dowdy v. Robinson the West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals substantially altered the double jeopardy law of the state. Dowdy was indicted for breaking and entering a nightclub. The indictment specified the building's location as 220-22nd Street in Huntington, West Virginia. The proof presented at trial indicated that the nightclub was located at 200-22nd Street. The trial court granted a motion for a directed verdict of not guilty on the ground that the variance was fatal to the prosecution's case. Dowdy was subsequently reindicted for the breaking and entering, the only difference between the second indictment …

Mitchell And Its Progeny: An Analysis Of Recent Developments In The Payment Of Temporary Total Disability Benefits In Workmen's Compensation Cases, Joseph S. Beeson

West Virginia Law Review

The West Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, since it achieved its present composition by virtue of the November, 1976, general election, has had a dramatic impact on the development of workmen's compensation law in West Virginia. Although it is difficult to single out the most significant decisions of the court in this area, most practitioners would probably agree that the two cases having the greatest impact upon workmen's compensation practice and related matters are Mandolidis v. Elkins Industries, Inc. and Mitchell v. State Workmen's Compensation Commissioner. The Mandolidis decision received extensive treatment in an earlier article in this law review …

Due Process Protection For Nontenured Faculty In Public Institutions Of Higher Education: Long Overdue, Donna P. Grill Sep 1980

Due Process Protection For Nontenured Faculty In Public Institutions Of Higher Education: Long Overdue, Donna P. Grill

West Virginia Law Review

The system of tenure in American higher education has been advanced as necessary to protect academic freedom and to encourage faculty innovation and independence of judgment. The system has not been immune from attack. Whether or not the reasons for the tenure system are sound and its purposes laudatory, tenure has resulted in a classification scheme for faculty members which has had profound effects on their legal and constitutional rights. It is this issue regarding tenure which is to be examined here. This Note will consider the constitutional rights of nontenured faculty in public colleges and universities, as interpreted in …


Problems Associated With The Management Of Solid Wastes: Is There A Solution In The Offing, Jeffrey M. Wakefield Sep 1980

Problems Associated With The Management Of Solid Wastes: Is There A Solution In The Offing, Jeffrey M. Wakefield

West Virginia Law Review

Within the past decade, the level of environmental consciousness within our society has increased appreciably with the recognition of how delicate the ecological balance is and how easily it may be disrupted. Such consciousness has manifested itself primarily in stricter standards governing the emission of pollutants into the air and water. Unfortunately, this justifiable preoccupation with the quality of our air and water has overshadowed the needless desecration of America's land resources through the inadequate and environmentally unsound practices associated with the disposal of solid wastes. The purposes of this Note are to identify the scope of the solid waste …

Special Student Project: Developments Under The Surface Mining Control And Reclamation Act Of 1977, William Sunday Winfrey Ii, Cheryl Lee Davis, Larry W. Blalock, Lawrence W. Hancock, Allen R. Prunty

West Virginia Law Review

The Surface Mining Control and Reclamation Act of 1977 (SMCRA) is one of the most significant enactments ever to affect the coal mining industry. In pervasive fashion, it is intended to control virtually every environmental aspect of surface mining as well as all surface effects of underground coal mining. The responsibility for establishing a regulatory program to refine and implement the Act is vested in the United States Department of the Interior. However, as individual regulatory plans are submitted by the states and approved by the Secretary of the Interior, the Act provides for an assumption by the states of …

Black Lung Benefit Trusts As A Federal Self-Insurance Alternative, Peter M. Kelly Jun 1980

Black Lung Benefit Trusts As A Federal Self-Insurance Alternative, Peter M. Kelly

West Virginia Law Review

Since the enactment of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act1 (FCMHSA) in late 1969, occupational pneumoconiosis, "black lung disease," has been compensable under federal law. These federal black lung benefits are coordinated with state workmen's compensation or occupational disease laws to provide death or disability benefits for coal miners suffering from the disease. Black lung benefits are provided at federal cost under Part B of Title IV of the FCMHSA with respect to claims which arose before July 1, 1973 (Part B benefits)." Benefits are payable directly or indirectly by coal mine operators under Part C of Title …

The Survivors' 25-Year Presumption Under The Black Lung Benefits Reform Act Of 1977: A Case For Its Unconstitutionality, David J. Millstone, Maria J. Codnach

West Virginia Law Review

Title IV of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 [the Black Lung Act], as amended by the Black Lung Benefits Reform Act of 1977 establishes, inter alia, a new presumption intended to substantially assist widows and other dependent survivors of coal miners in gaining benefits for disability caused by coal workers' pneumoconiosis (more commonly known as black lung disease). Survivors of coal miners who died before March 1, 1978, with twenty-five or more years of coal mine employment accrued prior to July 1, 1971, are presumed to be entitled to benefits unless it is established that, …
