The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg Apr 1957

The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg

West Virginia Law Review

The term laches, when used in a legal sense, generally brings to mind the image of the complainant who has slept on his rights for an unreasonable length of time, and who is now precluded from asserting those rights. Laches connotes the passage of time and a laxness on the part of a party to assert his rights during the time elapsed. The defense of laches, as applied in equity, is a much more restricted doctrine than is apparent in this connotation of the word. The purpose of this note is to show what generally constitutes a defense of laches, …

The Mechanism Of Our Jury System Should Be Adjusted And Lubricated, B. F. Howard Feb 1954

The Mechanism Of Our Jury System Should Be Adjusted And Lubricated, B. F. Howard

West Virginia Law Review

When the colonists came to America, they brought with them the right of trial by jury. To preserve and protect this right for them and their descendants, it was incorporated in the Bill of Rights of the Virginias, and it is now firmly entrenched in the judiciary system of West Virginia. The citizens of our state have ever zealously guarded this as a sacred right, and looked to it as a bulwark of protection when their rights have been invaded, or their liberties jeopardized. Notwithstanding all the recognized defects and imperfections of the jury system, experience has demonstrated that trial …

Trial By The Court Without A Jury, Leo Carlin Dec 1951

Trial By The Court Without A Jury, Leo Carlin

West Virginia Law Review

It is elementary, of course, that, in an action at law, normally, the court tries the law and the jury tries the facts; and, in one respect, there can be no departure from this division of labor. For obvious reasons, no other functionary can assume the task of the court. But there are various procedural devices, some under the common law and some under statutes, by which the jury may be entirely eliminated as a trial factor. Its services may be dispensed with in the course of the trial, after it has developed that they are no longer needed, as …

Common Law Pleading Modified Versus The Federal Rules: Iv. Pleading Legal And Equitable Rights-Union Of Law And Equity, Marlyn E. Lugar

West Virginia Law Review

The preceding parts of this paper have dealt with West Virginia rules which may unnecessarily delay or defeat a hearing on the merits of claims between parties to litigation, but the rules there discussed pertained to actions on one side of the court. Primarily the application of those rules on the law side or to actions at law has been treated, for it is there that the existing procedure is most restrictive. This part of the paper will also deal with limitations on the assertion of rights between the parties, but here will be discussed only those restrictions which resulted …
