Vendor Liability For The Sale Of Alcohol To An Underage Person: The Untoward Consequences Of Estate Of Mullis V. Monroe Oil Co., Angela M. Easley Jan 1999

Vendor Liability For The Sale Of Alcohol To An Underage Person: The Untoward Consequences Of Estate Of Mullis V. Monroe Oil Co., Angela M. Easley

Campbell Law Review

This article contends that Defendants clearly had a duty to the people who travel on public highways not to serve alcohol to an underage individual. Therefore, N.C. GEN. STAT. section 18B-302, which prohibits the sale of alcohol to underage persons, should be regarded as a public safety statue, violation of which constitutes negligence per se. It further argues that Defendants should have recognized that Mullis and others might be injured by their conduct. The supreme court merely misinterpreted the element of duty required to maintain a common law negligence action and failed to look at the evidence and circumstances surrounding …


I-95 A/K/A The Drug Trafficker's Freeway And Its Impact On State Constitutional Law, The Honorable Robert H. Hobgood Jan 1999

I-95 A/K/A The Drug Trafficker's Freeway And Its Impact On State Constitutional Law, The Honorable Robert H. Hobgood

Campbell Law Review

This article argues that a criminal in a search and seizure case can expect disparate results in different state trial courts although identical factual situations exist. The good faith exception to the exclusionary rule adopted by the United States Supreme Court in United States v. Leon has not been applied with uniformity in state courts. Furthermore, this article finds that some state courts, relying on "adequate and independent" state grounds, have afforded criminal defendants greater protection under state constitutions and statutes than they would receive in other state courts or federal district courts. Finally, this article argues that state appellate …

Faith, Reason, And Bare Animosity, Daniel A. Crane

Campbell Law Review

Ramifications Of The 1997 Dwi/Felony Prior Record Level Amendment To The Structured Sentencing Act: State Of North Carolina V. Tanya Watts Gentry, William Thomas Kesler Jr.

Campbell Law Review

It is the purpose of this note to examine pertinent general statutes and case law to determine whether using previous DWI convictions as both elements in habitual impaired driving and towards the defendant's prior record level is truly "contrary to the laws of this state". First, this note will look at the 1997 amendment to the Structured Sentencing Act, and how its effects led to the controversy in Gentry. Next, this note will examine an overview of North Carolina's jurisprudence of the habitual felon statutes and the habitual impaired driving statute in order to provide a look at the attitude …

The End Of The North Carolina Abortion Fund, Paul Stam Jan 1999

The End Of The North Carolina Abortion Fund, Paul Stam

Campbell Law Review

This Article supports the court's position that there is no state constitutional right to state funding of abortion. It focuses on three areas often neglected by appellate courts. First, this article will look at the legal environment in which the Constitution of 1868 was adopted. As of 1868, the law of North Carolina would have been hostile to a claim of a right to abortion or a right to state funding of abortion. Abortion rights litigants offer several state cases as precedent for their position. Next, this article will demonstrate that many of these cases are not persuasive or are …

Of "Private Governments" And The Regulation Of Neighborhoods: The North Carolina Planned Community Act, Patrick K. Hetrick Jan 1999

Of "Private Governments" And The Regulation Of Neighborhoods: The North Carolina Planned Community Act, Patrick K. Hetrick

Campbell Law Review

This article will highlight the countless instances in which the Planned Community Act deviates in material ways from both the Uniform Planned Community Act and the North Carolina Condominium Act. Many of these variances and omissions amount to a reinforcement of the power of the declarant and, eventually, the owners' association. In the abstract, many contribute to a fundamental shift in the balance of power from private property owners to private governments. Discussions and summaries of the Planned Community Act to date have not emphasized the numerous policy decisions that were consciously or indirectly made when the General Assembly enacted …

North Carolina's Unconstitutional Expansion Of An Ancient Maxim: Using Dwi Fatalities To Satisfy First-Degree Felony Murder, Graham T. Stiles Jan 1999

North Carolina's Unconstitutional Expansion Of An Ancient Maxim: Using Dwi Fatalities To Satisfy First-Degree Felony Murder, Graham T. Stiles

Campbell Law Review

This Comment argues that using a traffic fatality to satisfy the felony-murder rule is inappropriate. When the State prosecutes a DWI fatality under the felony murder rule, it diminishes the concept of an ancient doctrine. If it is the goal of the State to give life sentences or the death penalty for DWI fatalities, then it is the responsibility of the North Carolina General Assembly to enact a statute specifically dictating such punishment rather than the court judicially imposing the punishment through their interpretation of the felony-murder rule.
