Misappropriation Theory As A Permissible Basis Of Section 10(B) Liability, The, Heather L. Reinsch
Misappropriation Theory As A Permissible Basis Of Section 10(B) Liability, The, Heather L. Reinsch
Missouri Law Review
Whether the misappropriation theory is a permissible basis for liability under section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act is an issue that has split the U.S. Courts of Appeals. The issue turns on the statutory interpretation of section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5, as well as policy considerations. The Supreme Court finally settled the issue in United States v. O'Hagan, when it reversed the Eighth Circuit and permitted the United States government to base section 10(b) liability on the misappropriation theory. The effect of the Court's decision is to make a person liable under section 10(b) if he received material and …

Bankrupt Tithers, The Eight Circuit & The Supreme Court: Still Praying For Rfra Relief From Bankruptcy Law, Rachel A. Wilson
Bankrupt Tithers, The Eight Circuit & The Supreme Court: Still Praying For Rfra Relief From Bankruptcy Law, Rachel A. Wilson
Missouri Law Review
The enactment of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) is one of the most important and controversial congressional acts since Congress drafted the Free Exercise Clause. RFRA greatly increases the likelihood that a free exercise of religion claim will succeed by restoring the compelling governmental interest test. Prior to RFRA, the Supreme Court abandoned this test in Employment Division v. Smith Due to the pressure President Clinton brought to bear on the Justice Department in the instant case, it withdrew its brief, which denied that RFRA applied to this bankruptcy case. Without the Justice Department's input, the Eighth Circuit applied …
New Jersey Radium Dial Workers And The Dynamics Of Occupational Disease Litigation In The Early Twentieth Century, The, Kenneth A. Deville, Mark E. Steiner
New Jersey Radium Dial Workers And The Dynamics Of Occupational Disease Litigation In The Early Twentieth Century, The, Kenneth A. Deville, Mark E. Steiner
Missouri Law Review
Between 1917 and 1923 over 800 women worked for the United States Radium Corporation ("USRC") in Orange, New Jersey handpainting wrist-watch faces with a substance made luminescent by radioactive materials. While these workers were exposed to injurious, even mortal, levels of radiation, less than a dozen received any compensation for their injuries. These features compounded the workers' legal problems once they entered the formal legal system by dramatically complicating attempts to prove causation, by raising the specter of the statute of limitations defense, and by playing a major role in the settlement negotiation process. As a consequence, even when some …
Is Strict Product Liability In Tort Identical To Implied Warranty In Contract In The Context Of Personal Injuries, Sean M. Flower
Is Strict Product Liability In Tort Identical To Implied Warranty In Contract In The Context Of Personal Injuries, Sean M. Flower
Missouri Law Review
Product liability has evolved from a combination of contract and tort theories. Under current contract analysis a manufacturer is liable for injuries resulting from a product which is "unmerchantable," while under strict liability in tort a manufacturer is liable for injuries resulting from a product which is "defective.” The majority of legal scholars and jurisdictions have found that in the area of personal injury these two underlying tests are synonymous. This means, in effect, that all products found unmerchantable should also be found defective, and vice versa.
Structural Change And Inter-Professional Competitive Advantage: An Example Drawn From Residential Real Estate Conveyancing, Michael Braunstein
Structural Change And Inter-Professional Competitive Advantage: An Example Drawn From Residential Real Estate Conveyancing, Michael Braunstein
Missouri Law Review
This article examines the role of attorneys and other professionals in a highly structured and routine transaction-residential real estate conveyancing. The article explains how United States lawyers lost the monopoly they once enjoyed over residential real estate conveyancing and how structural change, whether economic, technological, or both, influences the demand for professional, including legal services. Part II of this article reviews the academic literature concerning the role of the lawyer in residential real estate transactions. Part III analyzes the structural changes that resulted in the marginalization of lawyers in the residential transaction and demonstrates how the change in structure of …
Plain English Or Plain Confusing, Dylan Lager Murray
Plain English Or Plain Confusing, Dylan Lager Murray
Missouri Law Review
A "presumption of perfection" attaches to the pattern instructions that Missouri judges read to jurors in every civil case.' Missouri law presumes that these instructions, as set forth in Missouri Approved Jury Instructions("MAI") Fifth Edition, are not only infallible statements of the law, but also perfectly comprehensible to the average juror. Even if jurors in a given case complain that they do not understand a particular pattern instruction, the trial judge is without recourse, required to leave these instructions undisturbed even if a more understandable improvement might result. In contrast to the emphasis in many states upon legal accuracy,' as …

The article will explore the positive and negative aspects of the Plan and examine traditional criticisms levied against it.

One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Recognized But Undefined Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, M. Brett Fulkerson
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back: The Recognized But Undefined Federal Psychotherapist-Patient Privilege, M. Brett Fulkerson
Missouri Law Review
Instead of demanding every man's evidence, as is the general presumption, courts recognize the need for some evidence to remain private. Federal Rule of Evidence 501 governs federal evidentiary privileges without defining or identifying specific privileges. As a result, courts have developed privileges on a case-by-case basis, including the recognition of a psychotherapist-patient privilege. As different circuits pass judgment on the psychotherapist-patient privilege, conflict inevitably arises. Some circuits simply reject the privilege, while others recognize the privilege but apply it differently. The recognition of the psychotherapist-patient privilege was the necessary first step, but leaving the privilege undefined encourages litigation and …
Constitutionality Of Power Of Sale Foreclosures By Federal Government Entities, The, Daniel E. Blegen
Constitutionality Of Power Of Sale Foreclosures By Federal Government Entities, The, Daniel E. Blegen
Missouri Law Review
When loaning money, lenders often require that obligations be secured by a mortgage on real estate owned by the borrowers. In Missouri, the prevailing form of mortgage is the deed of trust with a power of sale provision. Upon default the trustee is allowed to sell the property without a judicial hearing and after giving only limited notice.' The constitutionality of nonjudicial power of sale foreclosures is well settled as applied to private lenders because of the lack of state or federal notice requirements for the particular county, and the mortgagor's only recourse is to pay the entire amount due …
Attorney's Thoughts Remain Inviolate: The Missouri Supreme Court Protects Intangible Work Porduct, An, Kristen Scott Beerly
Attorney's Thoughts Remain Inviolate: The Missouri Supreme Court Protects Intangible Work Porduct, An, Kristen Scott Beerly
Missouri Law Review
The work product rule provides that the tangible and intangible results of an attorney's trial preparation are protected from discovery. This protection extends to the thoughts, mental impressions and opinions of an attorney, as well as to trial preparation materials However, Missouri Rule of Civil Procedure 56.01(b)(4), which sets out the work product rule, refers only to "documents and tangible things" prepared in anticipation of litigation. In 1993, two Missouri appellate courts considered whether intangible work product is protected in Missouri and reached opposite conclusions. In State ex rel. Atchison, Topeka, Santa Fe R.R. Co. v. O'Malley, the Missouri Supreme …
Res Judicata Effect Of Bankruptcy Court Judgments: The Procedural And Constitutional Concerns, The, George A. Martinez
Res Judicata Effect Of Bankruptcy Court Judgments: The Procedural And Constitutional Concerns, The, George A. Martinez
Missouri Law Review
Should a bankruptcy court's judgment bar further litigation of claims arising out of the series of events at issue in the bankruptcy proceeding based on the doctrine of res judicata? Or should res judicata apply only where the subsequent action would constitute a core,' as opposed to non-core, but related proceeding? These questions raise important procedural and constitutional issues about which the courts of appeals are currently split. In 1984, Congress responded to Northern Pipeline by enacting 28 U.S.C. § 157, which authorizes bankruptcy judges to hear all core proceedings arising under the bankruptcy code. The 1984 Act provides that …

Purchase Money Security Interests In The Preference Zone: Questions Answered And Questions Raised By The 1994 Amendments To Bankruptcy Code 547, Timothy R. Zinnecker
Missouri Law Review
In October 1994, Congress approved the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994,' which revised various provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code. The revisions included two amendments to the preference statute, 11 U.S.C. §547. Historically, a creditor generally could preserve from preference attack an otherwise voidable purchase money security interest if the creditor perfected its security interest no later than the tenth day after the debtor first possessed the collateral. After first discussing the basics of a preference attack on an Article Nine security interest, this article summarizes the leading cases that prompted Congress to amend 11 U.S.C. § 547(c)(3)(B), suggests …
