Contributory Negligence Of Children, James H. Keet Jr. Jan 1963

Contributory Negligence Of Children, James H. Keet Jr.

Cleveland State Law Review

We will deal primarily with the child of tender years and will touch only briefly on the teen-ager in the field of contributory negligence. We will first examine the characteristics of younger children which the courts have emphasized in applying the doctrine of contributory negligence and then review the rationale underlying the way in which the courts have applied the doctrine to the child. We will find that the "capacity" of a child to be contributorily negligent has presented problems which are related to the standard of care which the child, if capable of contributory negligence, must observe in order …


Silent Growth Of Comparative Negligence In Common Law Court, David K. Siegel Jan 1963

Silent Growth Of Comparative Negligence In Common Law Court, David K. Siegel

Cleveland State Law Review

The common law view of contributory negligence theoretically still obtains in most jurisdictions. Thus, if the plaintiff's negligence proximately contributes to his resulting injury or damage, he is barred entirely from recovery. But this rule is "honored in the breach" in a growing number of jurisdictions that theoretically do not accept the doctrine of comparative negligence.

Evidence Problems In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Ronald J. Harpst Jan 1962

Evidence Problems In Juvenile Delinquency Proceedings, Ronald J. Harpst

Cleveland State Law Review

Some of the most perplexing problems facing the attorney defending a child charged with a delinquency have their inception in misunderstandings, lack of uniformity and loose application of evidential rules. In order to serve the best interests of the children who are before it, and to obtain necessary facts with which to formulate a rehabilitation plan, the courts have a tendency to waive strict adherence to evidence rules. The methodical attorney wonders how the court can serve the best interests of the child and yet seemingly not afford to the child the equal protection of its laws of evidence.

Practice In Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Ronald J. Harpst Jan 1961

Practice In Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Ronald J. Harpst

Cleveland State Law Review

By avoiding Juvenile Court cases, the attorney not only deprives himself of many cases, but neglects a primary social and professional responsibility. The purpose of this paper is to acquaint the practicing attorney with "bread and butter" practices and procedures of Juvenile Court and to dispel misconceptions as to the status of practice in that court.


Evidence In Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Elaine J. Columbro Jan 1961

Evidence In Cuyahoga County Juvenile Court, Elaine J. Columbro

Cleveland State Law Review

Most persons are aware that Juvenile Court proceedings are informal in character. The accused often appears without counsel, and often admits to participation in the violation. In spite of this, however, the Court must still operate on well laid principles of law. The Court must adhere to rules of evidence applicable to the type of case being heard, and the allegations must be proved. The Court handles various types of cases and therefore much confusion arises over what rules of evidence are applicable in each instance.


Treatment Practices In Juvenile Court, Eleanor A. Blackley Jan 1961

Treatment Practices In Juvenile Court, Eleanor A. Blackley

Cleveland State Law Review

To argue that the adjudicated child is not "punished" as the adult offender but is provided care, protection, and treatment is to make a distinction without a difference. The sanctions employed by the children's court are essentially the same as those the criminal court uses: principally, probation and institutional commitments.

Criminal Procedure - Jurisdiction - Juvenile Court's Right To Exclusive Jurisdiction Over A Contempt Proceeding Originally Initiated Against A Minor Child In A Court Of General Jurisdiction, Victor J. Gibbons S.Ed. Nov 1960

Criminal Procedure - Jurisdiction - Juvenile Court's Right To Exclusive Jurisdiction Over A Contempt Proceeding Originally Initiated Against A Minor Child In A Court Of General Jurisdiction, Victor J. Gibbons S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A seventeen-year-old minor sought a writ of prohibition against a circuit court to prevent it from enforcing a decree of contempt of court which resulted from her refusal to testify before a grand jury proceeding. She asserted that her refusal to testify was a public offense covered by the juvenile code, over which the juvenile court had exclusive jurisdiction. In an original proceeding, held, order of prohibition denied. The purpose of a direct contempt citation is to compel obedience to, and respect for, the court and not to punish for a public offense; consequently, because contempt is only quasi-criminal …

Conflict Of Laws - Custody Decrees - Jurisdiction To Modify And Effect In Sister States, Donald R. Jolliffe S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Husband and wife were divorced in Wisconsin in 1956 by a judgment which awarded alimony, custody of the children, and support money to W. The custody decree provided that W be permitted to remove the children to California but that they be allowed to visit H each summer. While H was visiting California in October 1957, he was served in an action commenced by W seeking absolute custody. H returned to Wisconsin and on November 5 asked the Wisconsin court to modify its divorce judgment by awarding custody of the children to him. That court set a hearing and …

Parental Delinquency, E. F. Samore Jan 1959

Parental Delinquency, E. F. Samore

Cleveland State Law Review

Juvenile delinquency is a widely discussed subject. Every segment of our society has its experts on the subject, and every expert has a solution. Yet the problems not only increase, but become more and more complex in all strata of our society. The problems have become so commonplace that our society seems to be accepting them as a normal necessary evil about which little can be done. As a prosecutor or as defense counsel, I have never yet met any parents who willingly admitted fault in these problems. They insist that they have been good parents and that the fault …

The Juvenile Court Law Of Washington: Its History And Basic Considerations For Its Revision, Van R. Hinkle Nov 1957

The Juvenile Court Law Of Washington: Its History And Basic Considerations For Its Revision, Van R. Hinkle

Washington Law Review

Although the Juvenile Court is considered a 20th-century development, the middle of the 19th century saw the establishment in several eastern states of private hearings in cases involving children and the creation of special reform schools for juveniles. This action marked the first formalized recognition of the need for specialized procedures whereby the Anglo-Saxon judicial tradition of affording special protection to children might be continued.


Torts - Recent Legislation - Parental Liability Statutes, Joseph T. De Nicola, William J. Wise, Robert C. Casad S.Ed. Jun 1957

Torts - Recent Legislation - Parental Liability Statutes, Joseph T. De Nicola, William J. Wise, Robert C. Casad S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Fourteen states now have statutes imposing vicarious liability upon parents for tortious acts of their children. These statutes, with one exception, all have been enacted within the past six years, and they present the most significant attempt to date by legislatures to control the incidence and remedy the effects of juvenile vandalism. The parental liability laws vary with respect to the ages of the children covered, and they place different pecuniary limits on the extent of the parent's liability. Coverage may extend to personal injuries as well as to property damage. All except the Louisiana statute, however, apply only to …

The curfew ordinance prohibits minors under the age of seventeen from being in any public place between IO P.M. and 5 A.M. unless accompanied by parent or guardian, or unless the presence of the minor is connected with and required by some legitimate business, trade, profession or occupation in which the minor is engaged.

A Study Of Domestic Relations, Juvenile And Family Courts In Tennessee, George E. Barrett, Thomas A. Higgins

Vanderbilt Law Review

The rapid growth of industry in Tennessee, with the concomitant increase in urban population, has emphasized the gravity of certain social problems confronting the state. Not the least among these is the present state of the domestic relations and juvenile courts. The seriousness and complexity of this problem was pointed up in the last session of the General Assembly (79th Session) at which time the Senate passed a resolution authorizing the legislative council tounder take a study of the present system and to report their findings and recommendations to the next session of the General Assembly.'Pursuant to this resolution the …

Torts - Parent And Child-Doctrine Of Parental Immunity, Julian J. Linde S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a minor, sustained injuries in a collision which occurred while he was riding in a car owned and driven by defendant, his father. The complaint alleged that defendant was guilty of willful and wanton misconduct, consisting of speeding on a wet road on a foggy night and of running a stop light. A motion to dismiss on the ground that the suit was contrary to public policy was sustained. On appeal, held, reversed. The doctrine of parental immunity is inapplicable to cases of willful and wanton misconduct. Nudd v Matsoukas, (III. 1956) 131 N.E. (2d) 525.

Michigan Law Review

Five minor children sued for the loss of their mother's support, care and affection which resulted from the defendant's negligent injury of the mother in an auto accident. Defendant moved to dismiss the complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. Held, motion denied.

Securities - Inter Vivos Gifts To Minors, Stephen C. Bransdorfer S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A statute recently enacted in twelve states and expected to be considered by seven other states this year, authorizes a new method for making gifts of securities to minors and for administering such gifts. The statute provides: (1) that irrevocable gifts of securities may be made to minors by use of statutory registration or deed of gift forms; (2) for the creation of a new type of fiduciary termed a custodian; (3) that the custodian shall have powers and duties over the minor's securities including authority to manage, sell, reinvest the proceeds from the sale and administer the securities for …
