Proposed Citizens Right To Standing Act-Finding The Keys To Unlock The Courthouse Doors, Harold W. Wood, Jr. Jan 1979

Proposed Citizens Right To Standing Act-Finding The Keys To Unlock The Courthouse Doors, Harold W. Wood, Jr.

Seattle University Law Review

Recent Supreme Court decisions severely restrict the right of citizens to litigate in federal courts. The Court's standing requirements not only limit the ability of citizens to successfully invoke federal court jurisdiction, but also confuse lower courts and litigants attempting to apply the requirements. Standing requirements have met with increasing criticism. And Congress is now considering legislative modification of standing doctrine. Unfortunately, the Court's employment of constitutional foundations in establishing current standing requirements imposes substantial roadblocks Congress must avoid to enact remedial standing legislation. This comment examines the constitutional and pragmatic difficulties of statutory modification of standing requirements and recommends …

Survey Of Literature On Discovery From 1970 To The Present: Expressed Dissatisfactions And Proposed Reforms, Daniel Segal Jul 1978

Survey Of Literature On Discovery From 1970 To The Present: Expressed Dissatisfactions And Proposed Reforms, Daniel Segal

Federal Judicial Center Reports

Eight years have passed since the last major revision of the discovery provisions of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. During those years, there has been a substantial amount of writing on the discovery rules. While much of it has been aimed at helping practitioners understand the rules, a large portion has been critical in nature, examining how well the rules are functioning, isolating their problem areas and making suggestions for reform. It was the purpose of the study on which this Report is based to survey and analyze that critical literature. The Report's first section sets out in detail …


Judicial Controls And The Civil Litigative Process: Discovery, Paul R. Connolly, Edith A. Holleman, Michael J. Kuhlman Jun 1978

Judicial Controls And The Civil Litigative Process: Discovery, Paul R. Connolly, Edith A. Holleman, Michael J. Kuhlman

Federal Judicial Center Reports

This report should be viewed as a beginning. It explores from one perspective the operation of the federal rules governing discovery as revealed in more than 7,000 docketed requests appearing in more than 3,000 terminated cases in six United States district courts, (A survey of practitioners in the six districts suggests that the docketed requests cover the great bulk of discovery activity.) The report is a continuation of the Center's District court studies Project, the first report of which (Case Management and Court Management in United States District Court) appeared several months ago.

Sentencing Alternatives For Virginia General District Courts, Jose R. Davila Jr., Robert L. Mordhorst Jan 1977

Sentencing Alternatives For Virginia General District Courts, Jose R. Davila Jr., Robert L. Mordhorst

University of Richmond Law Review

The endless parade of humanity that passes before the benches of Virginia's general district courts accused of minor offenses presents to those charged with deciding these cases one of the most challenging judicial tasks of our day. The challenge in addition to deciding guilt or innocence is also determining what to do with those judged guilty. Those decisions influence to one degree or another the direction of peoples lives for their own and society's good or ill. Most of the offenders appearing before these courts are young people, often first offenders. The behavior patterns of their lives are not yet …

Arizona's Inferior Courts, Harold H. Bruff Jan 1973

Arizona's Inferior Courts, Harold H. Bruff

Publications

For many citizens Arizona's inferior courts provide their primary, perhaps only, contact with the state's justice system. This Article--based in large part upon a thorough empirical and personal study of these lower courts--discusses the role that the courts play, the procedures that they observe, the qualifications of the personnel they employ, and the sufficiency of the justice they render. These findings are then evaluated, and recommendations for change are made.

The Pauper--Short-Changed At The Jury Box, Jeffrey J. Yost Sep 1972

The Pauper--Short-Changed At The Jury Box, Jeffrey J. Yost

West Virginia Law Review

Fear of governmental domination prompted the founders of the United States to restrict governmental interference with individual liberties. Indeed, the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to prohibit tampering with preferred freedoms. One such prohibition is that no citizen can be deprived of his life, liberty or property solely upon governmental accusations. Such deprivation can follow only after determination of guilt by a jury of the individual's peers. However, West Virginia statutorily denies paupers this fundamental right to a trial by their peers. This denial constitutes an invidious discrimination violative of the equal protection clause of the Constitution.

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson Jan 1972

Recent Legislation, J. Rodney Johnson

University of Richmond Law Review

The 1972 session of the General Assembly was especially active in the areas of wills, trusts, and estates. Much of this legislation deals with fine points not affecting the average lawyer in his practice. However, the following items of legislation should be of general interest to the attorney whose practice involves probate work or estate planning, even though he does not hold himself out as a specialist in these areas.
