An Un-Fortune-Ate Decision: The Aftermath Of The Supreme Court's Eradication Of The Relation-Back Doctrine, Lawrence A. Epter Apr 1990

An Un-Fortune-Ate Decision: The Aftermath Of The Supreme Court's Eradication Of The Relation-Back Doctrine, Lawrence A. Epter

Florida State University Law Review

In Schiavone v. Fortune, the United States Supreme Court held that the "period provided by law for commencing the action" language of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(c) includes the statutory limitation period, but not the time allowed for service of process. After demonstrating that this interpretation of Rule 15(c) is unreasonable, the author of this Article examines the various ways that federal courts have dealt with the decision. In light of the confusion and inequities which have resulted, the author suggests two ways of effecting a more just and sensible reading of Rule 15(c).

Crossing The Line Between Rough Remedial Justice And Prohibited Punishment: Civil Penalty Violates The Double Jeopardy Clause—United States V. Halper, 109 S. Ct. 1892 (1989), Lynn C. Hall Apr 1990

Crossing The Line Between Rough Remedial Justice And Prohibited Punishment: Civil Penalty Violates The Double Jeopardy Clause—United States V. Halper, 109 S. Ct. 1892 (1989), Lynn C. Hall

Washington Law Review

Historically, the constitutional guarantee against double jeopardy has been triggered primarily in criminal prosecutions. It has not encompassed civil monetary penalties. In United States v. Halper, the Supreme Court expanded double jeopardy protection. The Court held that government imposition of a civil monetary penalty on a defendant who has been criminally convicted for the same offense is punishment to the extent that the penalty clearly exceeds compensation. The punitive portion of the civil penalty, according to the Court, is multiple punishment prohibited by the Double Jeopardy Clause. This Note examines Halper and its effect on legislatures, prosecutors, and courts. The …

Should Trial By Jury Be Eliminated In Complex Cases, Hugh H. Bownes

RISK: Health, Safety & Environment (1990-2002)

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 …


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 …

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.


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.
