Circuit Court Erie Errors And The District Court's Dilemma: From Roto-Lith And The Mirror Image Rule To Octagon Gas And Asset Securitization, Nikiforos Mathews

Cardozo Law Review

Part I of this Note examines the mistake made by the Tenth Circuit in Octagon Gas. It further discusses the related problem inherent in a district court's belief that it is bound by a circuit court's previous Erie decision in light of the recent Winter Panel decision. Part II demonstrates that, despite the doctrine of precedent, district courts are not invariably bound by the diversity decisions of their circuit courts under the modem Erie doctrine, and therefore, should independently determine the state issues before them. Part III returns to Winter Panel and examines how the District Court of Massachusetts …

"Just Sign Here--It's Only A Formality": Parol Evidence In The Law Of Commercial Paper, Ellen R. Jordan Sep 1978

"Just Sign Here--It's Only A Formality": Parol Evidence In The Law Of Commercial Paper, Ellen R. Jordan

Scholarly Works

Part I will argue that certainty is especially important in the law of negotiable instruments, although it does not outweigh all other values. In light of the need for certain rules, this Article will consider the policy choices made by the drafters of the Uniform Commercial Code's Article 3 on Commercial Paper with respect to parol evidence. Part II will examine certain parol evidence that is admissible against even the law's most favored plaintiff, the holder in due course. Part III will focus on the Code's indirect treatment of the most troublesome parol evidence problems, those which arise when the …

It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and …
