Bifurcation Of Civil Trials, John P. Rowley Iii, Richard G. Moore
Bifurcation Of Civil Trials, John P. Rowley Iii, Richard G. Moore
University of Richmond Law Review
Despite its widespread and long-standing recognition as a valuable docket-control device, the bifurcation of issues in civil trials has generated considerable debate among legal scholars and judges. The state and federal courts both utilize bifurcation, andthe Supreme Court of Appeals in Virginia recognized the advantages of the procedural device as early as 1915. Nonetheless, authority for the bifurcation of issues in civil trials in Virginia has remained clouded. The Supreme Court of Virginia lifted at least some of the clouds when it decided Allstate Insurance Co. v. Wade, thereby rejecting the position taken in an amicus curiae brief filed …

Ending Jim Crow Life Insurance Rates, Mary L. Heen
Law Faculty Publications
This Article tells the story of the rise and fall of explicit race-based pricing practices as American life insurance companies responded to changes in the social, economic, and legal status of former slaves. The role of law in that story, from the Civil War to the beginning of this century, illustrates the complex interaction between civil rights reform and private commercial markets. Despite early laws prohibiting race-based life insurance rates, racial discrimination persisted in various forms for over a century due to the strength of the underlying racial ideologies, the rhetorical power of actuarial language, and the structure and regulation …

The Innocent Owner Defense To Civil Forfeiture Proceedings, Peter David Houtz
University of Richmond Law Review
The Constitution of the United States prohibits the deprivation of "life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The Constitution also expressly states that private property may not be "taken" by the government without "just compensation." Seizures and forfeitures of personal and real property without notification or hearing and without compensation have, however, become a powerful tool used by the government to deter crime.
