An Economic Theory Of Infrastructure And Commons Management, Brett M. Frischmann
An Economic Theory Of Infrastructure And Commons Management, Brett M. Frischmann
ExpressO
In this article, Professor Frischmann combines a number of current debates across many disciplinary lines, all of which examine from different perspectives whether certain resources should be managed through a regime of private property or through a regime of open access. Frischmann develops and applies a theory that demonstrates there are strong economic arguments for managing and sustaining openly accessible infrastructure. The approach he takes differs from conventional analyses in that he focuses extensively on demand-side considerations and fully explores how infrastructure resources generate value for consumers and society. As a result, the theory brings into focus the social value …

Organizational Misconduct: Beyond The Principal-Agent Model, Kimberly D. Krawiec
Organizational Misconduct: Beyond The Principal-Agent Model, Kimberly D. Krawiec
ExpressO
This article demonstrates that, at least since the adoption of the Organizational Sentencing Guidelines in 1991, the United States legal regime has been moving away from a system of strict vicarious liability toward a system of duty-based organizational liability. Under this system, organizational liability for agent misconduct is dependant on whether or not the organization has exercised due care to avoid the harm in question, rather than under traditional agency principles of respondeat superior. Courts and agencies typically evaluate the level of care exercised by the organization by inquiring whether the organization had in place internal compliance structures ostensibly designed …

Mind The Gap: Expansion Of Texas Governmental Immunity Between Takings And Tort., Jadd F. Masso
St. Mary's Law Journal
In Jennings v. City of Dallas, the city’s wastewater collection division was dispatched to unstop a clogged sewer main but instead caused sewage to spew into the Jennings’ home with dramatic force, causing extensive damage. The Jennings subsequently filed suit against the city, alleging its actions constituted an unconstitutional taking, damaging, or destruction of their property for public use without adequate compensation in violation of Article I, § 17 of the Texas Constitution. The issue presented from the case was whether an individual citizen should be liable for such losses when the damage—as an incident to governmental action—in effect benefits …

St. Mary's Law Journal
The focus of this Article is on honest businesses that do not realize they may be legally regulated as "franchisors" or "business opportunity sellers" and subject to potentially awful consequences due to noncompliance. This Article first discusses federal and other states' laws, then the Texas Business Opportunity Act (BOA), and finally, practical and litigation consequences.
Good Cause In The Texas Rules Of Civil Procedure., Naomi Mccuistion
Good Cause In The Texas Rules Of Civil Procedure., Naomi Mccuistion
St. Mary's Law Journal
The Texas judiciary should give “good cause” a single meaning. Ambiguity exists concerning the phrase “good cause” amongst Texas courts. Three different standards of “good cause” currently exist in Texas including: the Stelly/Craddock standard, the Alvarado standard, and the Remington Arms standard. Under the Stelly/Craddock standard—if withdrawal of deemed admissions is requested—“good cause” is required showing the failure was unintentional as a result of an accident or mistake. Under the Alvarado standard—if the request is to offer testimony of a witness who was not timely identified—the court requires a more strict showing of “good cause” not satisfied by an attorney’s …
Superseding Attorney's Fees And Pre-Judgment Interest After House Bill 4., Jonathan Yedor, Regina M. Uhl
Superseding Attorney's Fees And Pre-Judgment Interest After House Bill 4., Jonathan Yedor, Regina M. Uhl
St. Mary's Law Journal
Supersedeas is a rule of procedure allowing a judgment debtor to suspend enforcement of a judgment “by posting security set by the trial court” during the pendency of an appeal. The purpose of it is to “protect[ ] the [prevailing] party [following trial and entry of judgment] from the risk of a later uncollectible judgment and [to] compensate[]’” the prevailing party “for delay in the entry of final judgment.” This means the changes are meant to ensure a judgment debtor does not lose the right to appeal simply because the bond on judgment is too expensive so as to be …
Kelo V. City Of New London, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District V. United States, And Washoe County V. United States: A Fifth Amendment Takings Primer., Christopher L. Harris, Daniel J. Lowenberg
Kelo V. City Of New London, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District V. United States, And Washoe County V. United States: A Fifth Amendment Takings Primer., Christopher L. Harris, Daniel J. Lowenberg
St. Mary's Law Journal
The Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment is a remedy available to citizens for the government's undue interference with private property rights. It operates similarly to an affirmative defense as it entitles citizens to “just compensation” when the government “takes” private property for “public use.” The Takings Clause thus embodies the idea that society values the protection of private property. The Supreme Court of the United States stated the purpose of the Takings Clause is “to bar Government from forcing citizens from bearing public burdens which, in all fairness, should be borne by the public as a whole.” Kelo v. …
Questionable Summary Judgments, Appearances Of Judicial Bias, And Insurance Defense In Texas Declaratory-Judgment Trials: A Proposal And Arguments For Revising Texas Rules Of Civil Procedure 166a(A), 166a(B), And 166a(L)., Willy E. Rice
St. Mary's Law Journal
Economic necessity, expanding dockets, and judicial bias and unfairness are reasons for removing summary judgement practice from declaratory judgment trials in Texas. The Texas Supreme Court adopted the summary judgment rule primarily to prevent juries from considering arguably groundless causes, to reduce costs, and to increase "the efficient administration of justice." The Texas Supreme Court could prevent summary judgment practice in declaratory judgment cases. Texas's judges have the power to decide questions of fact and law when considering whether to award declaratory relief, negating the perceived need to entertain motions for summary relief. Trial judges must employ those doctrines to …
Utter Excitement About Nothing: Why Domestic Violence Evidence-Based Prosecution Will Survive Crawford V. Washington., Donna D. Bloom
Utter Excitement About Nothing: Why Domestic Violence Evidence-Based Prosecution Will Survive Crawford V. Washington., Donna D. Bloom
St. Mary's Law Journal
In response to domestic violence involving victims who do not wish to cooperate in the prosecution of their abuser, prosecutors endeavor to frame cases around other evidence establishing a defendant’s guilt regardless of the victim’s testimony. Domestic violence cases set for trial are being thrown out of Texas courts because of the recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that reasserts a defendant’s right to confront his accuser in court. Prosecutors believe that strong legal arguments exist to continue successfully prosecuting abusers without the cooperation of the victim at trial. This is through the continued admission of certain hearsay statements, despite Crawford …
Even Judges Don't Know Everything: A Call For A Presumption Of Admissibility For Expert Witness Testimony In Lawyer Disciplinary Proceedings The Fourth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility., Timothy P. Chinaris
St. Mary's Law Journal
Today's practice environment is full of potential ethical pitfalls for even the most conscientious lawyer. The consequences of being found guilty of misconduct can include suspension or disbarment from practicing as a lawyer. Added to these concerns is the fact that the judge or hearing panel before whom the case is tried may not be intimately familiar with the particular ethics rules or how they are interpreted in different areas of practice. In order to mount an effective defense against the disciplinary charges, an accused lawyer may want to introduce expert testimony on his or her behalf. Unfortunately for the …

Leveling The Legal Malpractice Playing Field: Reverse Bifurcation Of Trials The Fourth Annual Symposium On Legal Malpractice And Professional Responsibility., Dwayne J. Hermes, Jeffrey W. Kemp, Paul B. Moore
St. Mary's Law Journal
The growing public demand for perfect results is shifting the time-tested obligation of lawyers to meet the standard of care. The general public no longer deems the advice and performance of professionals as beyond reproach. While this is probably a positive development, it appears that a number of clients (and patients) are raising the bar too high by expecting and demanding a perfect result. The legal malpractice suit is in vogue, and juries are increasingly holding attorneys to be guarantors of a favorable outcome for their clients. A significant portion of legal malpractice suits are merely thinly veiled claims for …
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. …
