The Non-Lawyer Guardian Ad Litem In Child Abuse And Neglect Proceedings: The King County, Washington, Experience, Nancy Neraas

Washington Law Review

Part I of this Comment surveys the various theories of the role of the guardian ad litem in child abuse proceedings.

It demonstrates that neither the state nor the parents can adequately protect the interests of abused children and concludes that a guardian ad litem plays an important role for the children. Part III outlines the Washington state child abuse legislation and discusses the use of guardians ad litem in Washington child abuse proceedings. This legislation provides the framework …

Inequality In Marital Liabilities: The Need For Equal Protection When Modifying The Necessaries Doctrine, Debra S. Betteridge Oct 1983

Inequality In Marital Liabilities: The Need For Equal Protection When Modifying The Necessaries Doctrine, Debra S. Betteridge

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Note contends that the "primary/secondary" modification is unconstitutional because it ignores the husband's equal protection rights while unlawfully stigmatizing women as dependent. Part I discusses how the growing independence of women has led courts to modify the common law doctrine. Part II develops the test that the Supreme Court would apply in judging the constitutionality of any modification of the doctrine. Part III applies this test to the "primary/secondary" modification and concludes that the modification is unconstitutional and, therefore, not a legitimate reformation of the common law necessaries doctrine.

Community Property Law In The United States, By W.S. Mcclanahan (1982) And Community Property In The United States, By William A. Reppy, Jr. And Cynthia A. Samuel (1982), Harry M. Cross Jul 1983

Community Property Law In The United States, By W.S. Mcclanahan (1982) And Community Property In The United States, By William A. Reppy, Jr. And Cynthia A. Samuel (1982), Harry M. Cross

Washington Law Review

These two books with almost identical titles serve similar purposes for two different audiences—the McClanahan treatise for the practicing lawyer, the Reppy and Samuel casebook for the law student (and professor). Both books present the current community property law of the several American states, and in both the coverage of the principles of community property law as that law has developed in the United States will facilitate comparative analysis. This coverage may also minimize the apparent provincialism of decisions in the several states, at least for those problems not already resolved and therefore constrained by stare decisis.

Texas Adoption Laws And Adoptee's Rights Of Access To Confidential Records., Cynthia A. Rucker Mar 1983

Texas Adoption Laws And Adoptee's Rights Of Access To Confidential Records., Cynthia A. Rucker

St. Mary's Law Journal

Since the adoption process affects the lives of numerous people, courts must reach a decision which benefits all parties involved in the process. Many adoptees retain an emotional desire, or a psychological need, to ascertain the identity of their birth parents. This desire or need is in direct conflict with state statutes mandating adoption information remain sealed and confidential. In recent years, courts across the country have considered several cases challenging the validity of confidentiality statutes on constitutional grounds. Primarily, adoptees have asserted confidentiality statutes deny them a fundamental right to privacy, a right to receive information, and a right …

How Are You Going To Keep Them Down On The (Collective) Farm After They’Ve Seen Chicago?: A Minor’S Right To Political Asylum Against His Parents’ Wishes, Michael G. Hillinger Jan 1983

How Are You Going To Keep Them Down On The (Collective) Farm After They’Ve Seen Chicago?: A Minor’S Right To Political Asylum Against His Parents’ Wishes, Michael G. Hillinger

Faculty Publications

“Children’s rights” is a nebulous phrase subsuming two very different issues: the extent to which children can assert the same rights against the state as adults, and the extent to which the state can limit a parent’s power over his child. In cases involving the issue of children’s rights , the Supreme Court has defined those rights in a relatively restrictive fashion. On the one hand, the Supreme Court has recognized that children have constitutional rights independent of those enjoyed by their parents. On the other hand, it has frequently held those rights to be either less than those afforded …

Enforcement Of Judgments And Liens In Virginia, Federal Regulation Of Family Law, J. Stephen Proffitt Iii, Peter N. Swisher

University of Richmond Law Review

Collection practice has undergone a major transition over the past fifteen years. Once the ignored bastard by the mainstream of the bar, collection practice has survived and matured into a serious endeavor for a growing body of lawyers. Several reasons underlie this change. First, as society has become more transient and business relationships increasingly impersonal, businessmen and professionals have had to intensify collection efforts to maintain profit levels. Since legislation and supplementary case decisions have made debtor-creditor law a complex field, lawyers are frequently called upon to do collection work because of their expertise in using sophisticated legal procedures. Second, …

Valuation Of Spousal Interest In A Professional Practice For Equitable Distribution: Hirschfeld V. Hirschfeld, David W. Hagy Jan 1983

Valuation Of Spousal Interest In A Professional Practice For Equitable Distribution: Hirschfeld V. Hirschfeld, David W. Hagy

University of Richmond Law Review

The New York court in Hirschfeld v. Hirschfeld held that under the state's equitable distribution statute a husband's interest in his law prac- tice constitutes marital property subject to equitable division upon divorce. The court noted the lack of a valuation standard in both the statute and the state case law and applied an Internal Revenue Service formula to calculate the amount of goodwill in the law practice. The court divided that amount equally and awarded the wife $6,900, over three years, as her share of the husband's net income from his law practice.
