Venue In The Federal Courts Under The "Doing Business" Provision Of 28 U.S.C. § 1391(C): A Provision Subject To Reinterpretation?, Paul Lansing, Robert C. Castle
University of Richmond Law Review
A determination of whether venue is proper for a civil action commenced in federal court requires the application of the rules set forth in 28 U.S.C. § 1391 to the facts of the particular case. Making such a determination has often proved difficult for litigants and courts alike because the basic rules governing venue for civil actions brought in federal courts set forth in section 1391 are not without ambiguity. Section 1391(b), for example, provides in part that "[a] civil action. .. may be brought only in the judicial district. . . in which the claim arose." The language of …

Postconviction Remedies, And Federal Jurisdiction: Tensions In The Allocation Of Judicial Power, Robert Popper, William B. De Meza
University of Richmond Law Review
Postconviction Remedies deals with a subject of great importance to the practitioner of criminal law. It is concerned with the procedures available to persons who seek relief from their convictions after trial and after direct review in the appellate courts. Though not usually a part of the law school curriculum and therefore not part of the attorney's formal training, the intricacies of postconviction remedies must be mastered by the lawyer who wishes to render skillful service to the convicted client. The trial and appeal are important battles, but others remain to be fought which can decide crucial issues seriously affecting …
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act In Virginia, Elizabeth Carrington Shuff
The Uniform Child Custody Jurisdiction Act In Virginia, Elizabeth Carrington Shuff
University of Richmond Law Review
Due to the dramatic rise over the last decade in the number of child custody disputes between parents who are geographically separated, courts increasingly are faced with interstate litigation and its attendant legal and emotional problems. Because foreign state custody decrees traditionally have been viewed as modifiable and therefore have not been accorded the respect given to final decrees, parents who lose in one state have been encouraged to seek a more favorable forum in a second state. By employing such self-help methods as "child snatching,"' a parent can avail himself of a second day in court.

Federal Jurisdiction-Incidental Use Of Facilities In Interstate Commerce Held Sufficient To Invoke Travel Act
University of Richmond Law Review
18 U.S.C. § 1952, commonly known as the Travel Act, prohibits travel or the use of facilities in interstate commerce in aid of racketeering. An examination of the statute's history shows that it was passed to enable federal prosecution of those who remained immune from state prosecution by residing outside the state wherein the illegality transpired. However, the Act's scope is not limited to this target, and prosecution is permitted for the same offense under applicable state law. The statute, which has withstood several constitutional attacks,' was designed to assist the states in controlling criminality crossing state boundaries.

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.
