Products Liability: An Argument For Product Line Liability In Texas Symposium - Business Tort Litigation., Charles E. Cantu, David S. Goldberg

St. Mary's Law Journal

In today’s fast-paced business world, buyouts, takeovers, mergers, and other acquisitions are common occurrences. As a consequence of this corporate turnover, the consumer plaintiff injured while using a defective product may find the search for the proper defendant is futile, simply because the product is now marketed by a different legal entity. Generally, the consumer has no recourse against the manufacturer of the particular product which caused the injury if that manufacturer has since dissolved. This apparent unfairness, coupled with an increase in litigation of this nature over the last decade, has led to the judicial recognition of an exception …

Scources Of Liberty In The Texas Bill Of Rights., Arvel (Rod) Ponton Iii Jan 1988

Scources Of Liberty In The Texas Bill Of Rights., Arvel (Rod) Ponton Iii

St. Mary's Law Journal

Many historical, economic, and philosophical forces have combined to create a uniquely “Texian” perspective on liberty that has heavily influenced the Texas Bill of Rights. The original Texas Bill of Rights was drafted in 1836, during the ascendancy of Jacksonian democracy, following the successful revolt from the military dictatorship of General Santa Anna. Texans had lived under Spanish civil law, Mexican constitutional law, a Mexican military dictatorship, English common law, and the Bill of Rights of the United States. The Texas Revolution, the fact that many Texans looked to American and English jurisprudence for guidance, the violation of many rights …

The Evolving Concept Of Preemption Removal: An Expansion Of Federal Jurisdiction., Scott Roberts Jan 1988

The Evolving Concept Of Preemption Removal: An Expansion Of Federal Jurisdiction., Scott Roberts

St. Mary's Law Journal

Federal jurisdiction based on preemption removal should extend to federal laws which meet the requirements of Franchise Tax Board v. Construction Laborers Vacation Trust and Metropolitan Life Insurance Company v. Taylor. The well-pleaded complaint rule restricts federal removal jurisdiction. The well-pleaded complaint rule requires a federal question appear on the face of the plaintiff’s complaint for federal jurisdiction to attach. Therefore, the defendant’s right to a federal forum depends upon whether the plaintiff chooses to invoke a federal claim in its complaint. Courts routinely criticize the linking of removal jurisdiction to the well-pleaded complaint rule for giving plaintiffs incentive to …


The Freedom To Be Psychotic, Joram Graf Haber Jan 1988

The Freedom To Be Psychotic, Joram Graf Haber

Journal of Law and Health

The following will examine both involuntary commitment and deinstitutionalization, as well as some recent and rather novel proposals that have been championed by those who advocate neither. I refer here to the so called "Ulysses Contract" as well as to "mandatory out-patient treatment." My concern is primarily with the moral and legal aspects of these practices and to that end will focus on more conceptual matters. I will conclude by defending a concept of freedom which does greater justice to patients' needs than does the one currently employed.


Assessment Of Carcinogenic Risk And The Delaney Clause: The Search For A Better Standard, Mark A. Cleaves Jan 1988

Assessment Of Carcinogenic Risk And The Delaney Clause: The Search For A Better Standard, Mark A. Cleaves

Journal of Law and Health

This article will focus upon the legislative history and subsequent case law dealing with the Delaney Clause and it will include the rationale and limitations of the provision. In order to regulate carcinogens one must have a clear understanding of the cancer processes. Therefore a brief discussion of the biological parameters involved is warranted. The purpose of this discussion is to find a more rational alternative to the Delaney Clause. The use of quantitative risk assessment as an approach to regulate carcinogens found in food is also discussed. By combining the purposes of the original (and current statutory provisions with …

Warrantless Arrest Jurisdiction In Texas: An Analysis And A Proposal., Gerald S. Reamey, J. Daniel Harkins Jan 1988

Warrantless Arrest Jurisdiction In Texas: An Analysis And A Proposal., Gerald S. Reamey, J. Daniel Harkins

St. Mary's Law Journal

Within the State of Texas, there exist a great number of “peace officers” who are granted a wide range of power and authority. This includes the power to make warrantless arrests and searches pursuant to those arrests. Significant ambiguity exists regarding a peace officer’s jurisdiction. The confusion is largely due to imprecise statutory language and varying judicial interpretations. Article 998 of Texas Revised Civil Statutes, for example, bestowed on city police officers the same powers, authority, and jurisdiction as city marshals. The statute, though, neglected to define the extent of that jurisdiction, or even what “jurisdiction” meant in that context. …


Implications Of The Coming Retreat From Roe V. Wade, Charles E. Rice Jan 1988

Implications Of The Coming Retreat From Roe V. Wade, Charles E. Rice

Journal Articles

In Thornburgh v. American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, the Supreme Court held unconstitutional Pennsylvania statutes which required that (1) pregnant women give "informed consent" to an abortion and that they be provided information as to the characteristics of their unborn child, the nature and risks of abortion and the availability of alternatives to abortion; (2) the attending physician must file detailed reports on abortions and the reports be made available to the public for copying, even though this could lead to public identification of the woman having the abortion; (3) that in post-viability abortions, the physician use the care …

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Health Care Law, Steven D. Gravely Jan 1988

Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Health Care Law, Steven D. Gravely

University of Richmond Law Review

The health care industry, known for its dynamics and constant change, lived up to its reputation throughout 1987 and early 1988. Continuing concern for the cost of hospital and physician services, availability of adequate health care services for the elderly, and the impact of the AIDS virus on health care delivery contributed to make this period a tumultuous one for the health care industry nationwide. Virginia was not spared the tumult. This article focuses on key legislative, regulatory, and judicial events of the past year, and evaluates their impact on the business of providing health care in the Commonwealth.

In addition, this article reviews judicial decisions from 1986, 1987 and early 1988 that will have impact on medical negligence actions in the Commonwealth of Virginia.


A Hospital's Dilemma: The Legal Implications Of Promulgating Guidelines Concerning Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Leonard C. Heath Jr. Jan 1988

A Hospital's Dilemma: The Legal Implications Of Promulgating Guidelines Concerning Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Leonard C. Heath Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

Fear has struck the workplace. The source of this fear is not lack of job security, inflation, recession or a concern about the United States' trade imbalance. The source of the fear is a disease--Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS)-and the virus that causes AIDS, Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).


Firing Employees For Refusing To Submit To Urinalysis: The Case For A Uniform Standard Of Reasonable Individualized Suspicion, Gloria L. Freye Jan 1988

Firing Employees For Refusing To Submit To Urinalysis: The Case For A Uniform Standard Of Reasonable Individualized Suspicion, Gloria L. Freye

University of Richmond Law Review

Submitting to an employer's demand for a urinalysis test to detect ingestion of drugs means laying your privacy, reputation, career, livelihood and possibly your freedom1 on the line. The chances of being asked to submit to a urinalysis or a polygraph test pursuant to employment are well within the realm of possibility. Virginia Electrical Power Company ("Virginia Power"), the fifth largest employer in Virginia, utilizes both urinalysis and polygraphs as investigative tools. Thus, it is foreseeable that a situation may develop where an employee is fired for refusing to submit to a urinalysis test. This Note focuses on issues that …
