Municipal Tort Liability For Erroneous Issuance Of Building Permits: A National Survey, Scott J. Borth
Washington Law Review
Actions alleging municipal tort liability for negligent administration of building and zoning codes are part of the current judicial and legislative trend to abolish municipal tort immunity. In surveying how such actions are treated, this Comment briefly examines the historical background of governmental immunity. It then categorizes the states according to the scope of governmental tort immunity currently recognized. After establishing these categories, this Comment applies the law under each category to the facts of Preston v. City of Daniellville, the hypothetical case. It then analyzes the public duty defense raised by the municipality, focusing on the origin of the …

Colorado's Answer To The Local Rules Problem, William H. Erickson
Colorado's Answer To The Local Rules Problem, William H. Erickson
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article examines the checkered history of local rules in the state and federal courts. Part I sketches the development of local rule-making power. Part II focuses on the abuses that have resulted from a nonuniform procedural system. It concludes that the most serious consequence of that abuse - an increase in court costs and delay - has not been addressed adequately by the courts. Part III explores ways in which the local rules problem can be brought under control. Although a number of proposals are discussed, the purpose of this section is to present the approach recently undertaken by …
Appellate Caseload: Meeting The Challenge In Rhode Island, Joseph R. Weisberger
Appellate Caseload: Meeting The Challenge In Rhode Island, Joseph R. Weisberger
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Two of the most challenging and frustrating problems facing appellate courts in America are increasingly congested dockets and the sluggish pace of litigation. In an effort to combat these problems, the Supreme Court of Rhode Island has recently initiated several procedural techniques for screening and settling criminal and civil cases on appeal. These techniques have proven highly effective and should provide other appellate courts at least a partial answer to the burgeoning appellate caseload.

The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly
The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article theorizes that state and local bar associations can play a vital role in ridding their courts of excessive costs and delay. Theory can become practice, however, only if state and local bars are reorganized to broaden their oversight and lobbying functions, in order to make them more effective vehicles of reform. This Article, then, discusses the role the organized bar can and should play in achieving procedural reform that will reduce the delay and cost of litigation. Part I describes the various stages of the reform process, using the Kentucky experiment as a model, and outlines the contributions …
Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus
Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus
University of Richmond Law Review
Professor Ronald J. Bacigal of the T.C. Williams School of Law has made a valuable contribution to the criminal justice system with the recent publication of this book. Not only is the book well-written, but it is succinct and of a size that will easily fit into a lawyer's briefcase to accompany him to court. The manner in which the book is written is such that it can be readily understood by laymen interested in the law or used as the text for a course on criminal procedure in law school or college, and yet the book is detailed enough …
Annexation In Virginia: The 1979 Amendments Usher In A New Era In City-County Relations, Robert E. Spicer Jr.
Annexation In Virginia: The 1979 Amendments Usher In A New Era In City-County Relations, Robert E. Spicer Jr.
University of Richmond Law Review
Annexation has been the most common method of adjusting local government boundaries in the United States since the 1850's. This widespread acceptance of annexation, however, has not created uniform procedures for initiating and completing annexation proceedings. Rather, the process of annexation varies considerably from state to state.

Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt: Debt Limitation, The Broad Special Fund Doctrine, And Wppss 4/5, Dennis J. Heil
Another Day Older And Deeper In Debt: Debt Limitation, The Broad Special Fund Doctrine, And Wppss 4/5, Dennis J. Heil
Seattle University Law Review
The weakness of the Broad Special Fund Doctrine becomes evident when viewed in light of its application to an enormous debt such as construction of a multi-billion dollar power plant. Furthermore, the doctrine is directly at odds with the purposes underlying constitutional and statutory debt limitations. This Article presents a brief history of debt limitation provisions. Next, it discusses the history of the Special Fund Doctrine and sets forth criticisms of the Broad Special Fund Doctrine. The Article concludes by recommending a concept for a Narrow Special Fund Doctrine and applies it to the construction of two nuclear power plants …

Freedom Of Association And State Regulation Of Delegate Selection: Potential For Conflict At The 1984 Democratic National Convention, Platte B. Moring, Iii
Vanderbilt Law Review
This Note begins with a discussion of the history of the regulation of state parties by state law and national party rules. The Note then traces the development of case law concerning state regulation of party delegate selection procedures. Finally, the Note explores the potential for credentials disputes and litigation on the primacy of state party rules over contrary state laws if both the party rules and the state regulations comply with the Delegate Selection Rules for the 1984 Democratic National Convention. The Note concludes that the first amendment right of freedom of association guarantees that a state party may …
Mutual Of Enumclaw Insurance Company V. Wiscomb: Excluding The Family Exclusion Clause, Janice L. Campton
Mutual Of Enumclaw Insurance Company V. Wiscomb: Excluding The Family Exclusion Clause, Janice L. Campton
Seattle University Law Review
This note examines Mutual of Enumclaw Insurance Company v. Wiscomb. The note supports the court’s decision to prohibit unbargained for family exclusion clauses, because it furthered the policies exemplified in the Financial Responsibility Law and the Underinsured Motorist Statute and acted consistently with its decision abrogating intrafamily tort immunity. However, the note argues that by suggesting it would uphold truly bargained for family exclusion clauses denying coverage to named insureds, the court ignored its own pronouncement declaring such clauses against this state’s policy of assuring compensation for the protection of innocent victims of negligent motorists.
