The Business Of Law And Tortious Interference The Fourth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility., Alex B. Long
St. Mary's Law Journal
While few in the legal profession would refer to clients as “property”, it is difficult to think some lawyers do not believe they possess something similar to property rights in their retainer agreements with clients. Not surprisingly, a tortious interference claim is a viable option for an attorney who feels that another attorney has wrongfully “stolen” a client or otherwise interfered with the attorney’s “property.” Courts have traditionally been reluctant to hold attorneys liable for litigation conduct that results in harm to adversaries or their attorneys. Plaintiff-attorneys generally have a better chance of succeeding when they complain that another attorney—while …

Unresolved Problems In Texas Legal Malpractice Law The Fourth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility., Stephen E. Mcconnico, Jennifer Knauth, Robyn Bigelow
St. Mary's Law Journal
Legal malpractice jurisprudence is a dynamic and evolving area of Texas law. In its evolution, many issues have arisen regarding potential areas for attorney liability and discipline. The Texas Supreme Court opinion in Alexander v. Turtur & Associates, Inc. discusses the “suit within the suit” requirement for causation in litigation malpractice cases. The case also raised an important question—whether and in what circumstances causation should be treated as a question of law for the trial judge in the malpractice case, rather than as a question of fact for the jury. The Alexander opinion suggests that both the jury submission issues …
The Emperor's New Clothes: Cloaking Client Protection Under The New Model Court Rule On Insurance Disclosure The Fourth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility: Comment., Nicole D. Mignone
St. Mary's Law Journal
Traditionally, the legal profession prides itself on its ability to self-regulate and prefers to “take care of its own” in the disciplinary realm. The Model Court Rule on Insurance Disclosure (the Rule) invites an initial effort toward the legal profession’s self-regulating ideals and client protection. The Rule requires private practice attorneys to report to their state whether they plan to maintain liability insurance, which is then disclosed to the public. Unfortunately, the Rule’s ambiguous language and requirements create worrisome issues for both the attorney and client. Attorneys without malpractice insurance may be indirectly forced to obtain it. This expense could …

Reeves V. Sanderson Plumbing Products: The Emperor Has No Clothes - Pretext Plus Is Alive And Kicking., Matthew R. Scott, Russell D. Chapman
St. Mary's Law Journal
Before the Supreme Court’s decision in Reeves v. Sanderson Plumbing Products, Inc., the Fifth Circuit’s en banc decision in Rhodes v. Guiberson Oil Tools established the proper standard of causation in employment discrimination cases. The plaintiff must prove his or her protected trait was the “determinative reason” for the challenged employment action. Following Reeves, which appeared to overrule Rhodes and the doctrine of pretext plus, the Fifth Circuit struggled with the causation question. Despite the apparent confusion, the Fifth Circuit has largely reaffirmed not only its commitment to the Rhodes pretext-plus analysis, but also the determinative-reason standard for pretext cases. …
Refugee Protection In The United States Post-September 11, Andrew I. Schoenholtz
Refugee Protection In The United States Post-September 11, Andrew I. Schoenholtz
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The U.S. refugee resettlement program, was the first refugee protection casualty of the terrorist attacks. American officials perceived resettlement as being particularly vulnerable to security problems. That was not the case with the other major U.S. refugee protection program, the asylum system. That system was effectively revamped in 1995 to address a variety of abuses, in part connected to individuals involved in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Yet, even though official attention did not focus on asylum, subtle, significant changes have occurred. This article delineates and assesses these changes by closely examining data and developments at all levels of …

Rivera V. Nibco:A Tentative Limitation Of The Supreme Court's Decision Inhoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. V. Nlrb, Rebecca L. Ennis
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In 2002, the United States Supreme Court handed down its decision in Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v. NLRB. This landmark decision seemingly eliminated any chance illegal immigrant employees had to obtain awards of backpay after being discharged in violation of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA). More importantly, however, the decision sent a message to the country that illegal entry into the United States was a violation that was to be taken more seriously by the courts than grossly unfair employment practices. The Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit recently handed down a decision in Rivera v. NIBCO, Inc. …

Granting Asylum To Persecuted Afghan Western Women, Marra Guttenplan
Granting Asylum To Persecuted Afghan Western Women, Marra Guttenplan
Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice
The note argues that Afghan Western Women, who have adopted Western practices in defiance of traditional Islamic norms, should be granted asylum in the U.S. under the categories of religion, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. These women face severe persecution, including physical harm, economic deprivation, and restrictions on education and employment, which meet the standards for asylum under U.S. and international law. The analysis emphasizes that their fear of persecution is well-founded due to Afghanistan's unstable governance and pervasive human rights abuses, making it imperative for the U.S. to recognize their unique challenges and provide protection.

Revised Texas Rule Of Civil Procedure 173: The True Scope Of A Guardian Ad Litem's Representation., Allison P. Mingle
Revised Texas Rule Of Civil Procedure 173: The True Scope Of A Guardian Ad Litem's Representation., Allison P. Mingle
St. Mary's Law Journal
The former statute governing the appointment of a guardian ad litem was ineffective and did not serve as adequate guidance for trial courts or appointees. It failed to outline the specific role a guardian ad litem was to play during a suit and was also unsuccessful at outlining what aspects of litigation a guardian ad litem could and could not participate in during trial or settlement. The former version of the rule allowed for a reasonable fee to compensate the guardian ad litem for services but failed to state specific parameters for judges to determine what “reasonable” means. On the …

Qui Tam: Survival Of The Action And Fate Of The Proceeds Following The Death Of The Relator For The King And For Himself ... And His Heirs., Joseph E. Hoffer
St. Mary's Law Journal
In the market economy of the United States, a large segment of industry is focused on providing goods and services to the government or to the public on behalf of the government. Often, small businesses are preferred to multinational corporations. But, when the actions of a business toward the government involve the myriad methods of deceit and inflating costs and billing, the business’s legitimate actions have turned into fraud against the government. For those employees who witness this fraudulent behavior and wish to act, one option is to file a qui tam action. The action may be brought either by …

Blurring The Boundaries Between Immigration And Crime Control After Sept. 11th, Teresa A. Miller
Blurring The Boundaries Between Immigration And Crime Control After Sept. 11th, Teresa A. Miller
Journal Articles
Although the escalating criminalization of immigration law has been examined at length, the social control dimension of this phenomenon has gone relatively understudied. This Article attempts to remedy this deficiency by tracing the relationship between criminal punishment and immigration law, demonstrating that the War on Terror has further blurred these distinctions and exposing the social control function that pervades immigration law enforcement after September 11th prioritized counterterrorism. In doing so, the author draws upon the work of Daniel Kanstroom, Michael Welch, Jonathan Simon and Malcolm Feeley.
Polygamy, Prostitution, And The Federalization Of Immigration Law, Kerry Abrams
Polygamy, Prostitution, And The Federalization Of Immigration Law, Kerry Abrams
Faculty Scholarship
When Congress banned the immigration of Chinese prostitutes with the Page Law of 1875, it was the first restrictive federal immigration statute. Yet most scholarship treats the passage of the Page Law as a relatively unimportant event, viewing the later Chinese Exclusion Act as the crucial landmark in the federalization of immigration law. This Article argues that the Page Law was not a minor statute targeting a narrow class of criminals, but rather an attempt to prevent Chinese women in general from immigrating to the United States. Most Chinese women migrating to the United States in the early 1870s were …

Asians, Gay Marriage, And Immigration: Family Unification At A Crossroads, Victor C. Romero
Asians, Gay Marriage, And Immigration: Family Unification At A Crossroads, Victor C. Romero
Faculty Scholarship
Family unification has long been a significant component of U.S. immigration policy, and the Asian Pacific American (APA) community has long been a champion of laws that strengthen America's commitment to this goal. The recent emergence of same-gender marriages among state and local governments has caused society to consider more closely its definition of the family, challenging the traditional notion that only civil unions between heterosexuals should be celebrated. But because U.S. immigration law does not include a gay or lesbian partner within its statutory definition of spouse, binational same-gender couples may not legally remain in the country together, even …
The Right Of States To Repatriate Former Refugees, James C. Hathaway
The Right Of States To Repatriate Former Refugees, James C. Hathaway
Articles
Armed conflict often results in the large-scale exodus of refugees into politically and economically fragile neighboring states. The burdens on asylum countries can be extreme, and may only be partly offset by the arrival of international aid and protection resources. Moreover, difficulties inherent in the provision of asylum have been exacerbated in recent years by the increasing disinclination of the wealthier countries that fund the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and most other assistance agencies to meet the real costs of protection. In such circumstances, it is unsurprising that as conflicts wind down, host countries ordinarily seek to …
The First Marketable Product Doctrine: Just What Is The Product., Byron C. Keeling, Karolyn King Gillespie
The First Marketable Product Doctrine: Just What Is The Product., Byron C. Keeling, Karolyn King Gillespie
St. Mary's Law Journal
Oil and gas leases normally do not set a fixed price for calculating royalty payments. Instead, oil and gas leases commonly tie royalty calculations to a more flexible yardstick, including “market value” or “net proceeds”. This flexibility allows the lease relationship to survive any dramatic volatility in oil and gas prices, while the same fixed price may be inadequate in shifting markets. Conversely, the flexibility may place lessors and lessees in a position of inherent conflict. In particular, parties vehemently disagree about the proper location for applying the yardstick. Historically, lessees have enjoyed the better side of the argument; though, …

The Effect Of A Harmless Error In Executing A Will: Why Texas Should Adopt Section 2-503 Of The Uniform Probate Court., Sean P. Milligan
The Effect Of A Harmless Error In Executing A Will: Why Texas Should Adopt Section 2-503 Of The Uniform Probate Court., Sean P. Milligan
St. Mary's Law Journal
Often, the validity of a will is called into question in situations where the testator failed to execute the will in compliance with statutory formalities, although the intent to create a will was present. In Texas, harmless errors in the execution of a will are not excused, and the testator must comply with the statutory formalities set out in the Probate Code. Strict judicial adherence to statutory formalities leads to unjust results in situations where it is relatively clear that the testator intended to create a will but failed to comply with the execution requirements. The failure to comply with …
The Michigan Guidelines On Well-Founded Fear, Colloquium On Challenges In International Refugee Law
The Michigan Guidelines On Well-Founded Fear, Colloquium On Challenges In International Refugee Law
Other Publications
An individual qualifies as a Convention refugee only if he or she has a "well-founded fear" of being persecuted. While it is generally agreed that the "well-founded fear" requirement limits refugee status to persons who face an actual, forward-looking risk of being persecuted (the "objective element"), linguistic ambiguity has resulted in a divergence of views regarding whether the test also involves assessment of the state of mind of the person seeking recognition of refugee status (the "subjective element").
Securing One's Fourth Amendment Rights Through Issue Preclusion: Assessing Texas's Application Of Collateral Estoppel To Multiple Suppression Motions Filed In Separate Courts., Garrett T. Reece
St. Mary's Law Journal
This Comment will assess the split in Texas courts over the issue of collateral estoppel’s application in different motion to suppress hearings. By placing collateral estoppel within the confines of the Double Jeopardy Clause, federal law essentially extinguished one form of collateral estoppel and invented another form of the doctrine. Remnants of both forms are still alive, however, and Texas is one state in which both forms of collateral estoppel may be invoked in a criminal proceeding. Part II provides a historical analysis of the exclusionary rule, Double Jeopardy Clause, and collateral estoppel’s rise in criminal court. Part III addresses …
