The New Quasi In Rem Jurisdiction: New York's Revival Of A Doctrine Whose Time Has Passed, Michael B. Mushlin Jan 1990

The New Quasi In Rem Jurisdiction: New York's Revival Of A Doctrine Whose Time Has Passed, Michael B. Mushlin

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This Article closely examines the rationale offered for the new quasi in rem jurisdiction, and concludes that it cannot withstand careful analysis. Courts have explained that the new theory of quasi in rem jurisdiction is necessary to fill gaps in the state's long arm statute. However, gaps in a long arm statute can be filled by legislative amendments which can provide in personam jurisdiction up to the full extent permitted by due process. In fact, long arm statutes have steadily expanded over the last decade to take up the slack left by Shaffer. In personam jurisdiction under a long arm …


Interlocutory Review Of Discovery Orders: An Idea Whose Time Has Come, Elizabeth G. Thornburg Jan 1990

Interlocutory Review Of Discovery Orders: An Idea Whose Time Has Come, Elizabeth G. Thornburg

SMU Law Review

This article argues that interlocutory review of discovery orders can allow error correction and the development of a coherent body of case law without burdening the appellate courts. It uses an empirical study of interlocutory review in Texas as an example of how such a system could work.

Finley V. United States: Unstringing Pendent Jurisdiction, Wendy Collins Perdue Jan 1990

Finley V. United States: Unstringing Pendent Jurisdiction, Wendy Collins Perdue

Law Faculty Publications

The approach adopted by the Supreme Court in Finley v. United States calls into question not only pendent-claim jurisdiction but ancillary jurisdiction as well. Particularly vulnerable to attack are those uses of ancillary jurisdiction that involve the addition of new parties such as class action, intervention, and impleader. Furthermore, the opinion may lay a foundation for attacking ancillary-claim jurisdiction involving counterclaims or cross-claims. This commentary will examine Finley and the potential impact of the opinion on the various permutations of ancillary and pendent jurisdiction.


Reassessing Rule 11 And Civil Rights Cases, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1990

Reassessing Rule 11 And Civil Rights Cases, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

The Advisory Committee on the Civil Rules amended Federal Rule of Civil Procedure (Rule 11) in August 1983 because of increasing concern about attorney abuses in civil lawsuits and about the so-called litigation explosion. The revision commands courts to sanction lawyers and parties who do not undertake reasonable prefiling inquiries. Certain aspects of the new version's implementation provoked substantial controversy which continued virtually undiminished from the amendment's August 1983 effective date at least until the fifth anniversary of its adoption. Perhaps most controversial was the question whether courts' application inhibited the pursuit of legitimate litigation, especially cases involving civil rights …


An Independent Public Law, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1990

An Independent Public Law, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

This Article analyzes the application of numerous Federal Rules in public law litigation to show how the resurrection of private law approaches and hostility toward public interest litigants serves to disadvantage public interest litigants. The assessment is intended to discourage such future enforcement of the Federal Rules and analogous judicial treatment in other areas of public law. The Article is also meant to foster greater appreciation of public law and the articulation of a larger complement of public law principles so as to facilitate the growth of an independent public law.


Civil Procedure Reform In Japan, Takeshi Kojima Jan 1990

Civil Procedure Reform In Japan, Takeshi Kojima

Michigan Journal of International Law

Delay in court has been a problem common in all eras, both ancient and modern, and to all systems of law, Western and Eastern alike. In Japan, however, the problem is arguably more acute. The average delay between filing and judgment for cases that require at least a minimum level of proof-taking or an evidentiary hearing is 27 months. This deplorable reality has recently led to renewed efforts to tackle the problem of delay in Japan. Two groups that have been particularly important in this effort are two local bar associations and the Tokyo and Osaka district courts. The First …

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

This Case Comment discusses the ability of a United States plaintiff to serve process pursuant to the Hague Service Convention on a defendant residing in Japan. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit held that the Convention generally prohibits service on foreign defendants by registered mail.

The author then discusses United States common law interpreting article 10(a) …


The Specificity Of Pleading In Modern Civil Practice: Addressing Common Misconceptions, Ian James Wilson, William Louis Payne Jan 1990

The Specificity Of Pleading In Modern Civil Practice: Addressing Common Misconceptions, Ian James Wilson, William Louis Payne

University of Richmond Law Review

The pleading procedure serves as the foundation for the entire legal process. Pleadings focus the issues, narrow the evidence admissible at trial, apprise the adverse party and the court of the matter in dispute, and provide the extent of the res judicata effect of the judgment. To secure the foundation and to effectuate the purposes of the pleading procedure, it is imperative that the pleading set forth sufficient allegations. The standard for determining the sufficiency of the allegations is referred to as the specificity requirement and serves as the focus of this Note.


Intervention After Webster, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1990

Intervention After Webster, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

Webster v. Reproductive Health Services throws down the gauntlet on the "most politically divisive domestic legal issue of our time," imperiling women's progress in securing reproductive freedom and power in society. The battle over abortion rights is likely to splinter an already deeply divided country. After fierce fighting in many statehouses, some legislatures will pass statutes further restricting abortion. The major battleground, however, will quickly shift to the federal courts, where plaintiffs seeking to protect procreative freedom will challenge these measures. Judges, parties, and lawyers participating in this litigation will rigorously analyze the issues of "substance" that Webster and the …
