A Short History Of Hearsay Reform, With Particular Reference To Hoffman V. Palmer, Eddie Morgan And Jerry Frank, Michael S. Ariens

Faculty Articles

Much of the history of the American law of evidence, including its most contentious issue, hearsay, is the story of stasis and reform. The case of Hoffman v. Palmer represents one of few cases concerning hearsay known by name, and illustrates that “false” evidence has often been used to caution against efforts proclaiming “radical reform” of the law of evidence.

In this case involving a collision between a car and a train, the critical question was: Is the defendant railroad permitted to introduce into evidence the transcript of a question and answer session made two days after the accident between …

Charging Parties Left Out: Intervention In Section 10(J) National Labor Relations Act Injunction Proceedings, John D. Doyle, Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 24(a)(2) entitles charging parties to intervene as of right in Section 10(j) proceedings for preliminary injunctive relief. The Scottex court's analysis and its determination that the charging party's Rule 24(a)(2) motion to intervene was due to be granted, were correct. The Scottex analysis comports with the federal labor law scheme and is the only analysis that takes proper account of the Supreme Court's decision in Trbovich. Moreover, it is the only analysis that is consistent with the text and purposes of both Rule 24(a)(2) and Section 100.
