Disclosure Of Grand Jury Materials Under Clayton Act Section 4f(B), Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note analyzes the controversy and concludes that the latter courts are correct: Congress never intended to abrogate or modify rule 6(e)'s "particularized need" standard when it enacted section4F(b). Part I discusses whether Congress intended section 4F(b) to require the Attorney General to disclose grand jury materials to state attorneys general upon request, thereby abrogating rule 6(e)'s explicit prohibition against such disclosure. Part II examines the statutory language and legislative history of section). 4F(b) to determine whether Congress intended section 4F(b) to modify rule 6(e)'s "particularized need" standard. Finally, Part III evaluates the policies affected by liberalized disclosure of grand …

The Lawsuit Lottery, By Jeffrey O'Connell (1979), Cornelius J. Peck

Washington Law Review

The dustjacket for this already provocatively entitled book continues with the additional legend: "Only the Lawyers Win-Most people get nothing. A few get too much. A proposal for reform." This addition to the title of the book gives appropriate, if not exact, warning that a reader is about to fall under the influence of a spell-binding author, whose sense of theatre equals that of the lawyers whose exploits he exposes. It does not, however, prepare one for his serious analysis, arguments, and proposals concerning how law should distribute the losses of accidental injuries which occur in our society.

Restating Territorial Jurisdiction And Venue For State And Federal Courts, Kevin M. Clermont

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

"Jurisdiction must become venue," concluded Professor Albert A. Ehrenzweig. Perhaps it should. More certain is the proposition that comprehending jurisdiction requires mastering its relationship with venue. Such conclusions lie at some distance, however, bringing to mind that every journey must begin with a single step. A solid first step takes me to the subject of this Symposium, the Restatement (Second) of Judgments. This, put simply, is a masterful work. Even while still in tentative drafts, it proved an invaluable aid to judge, practitioner, teacher, and student. Yet in a work of such scope, anyone could find grounds for differing. …

Flexible Mootness In Class Certification, Enid L. Zafran

Cleveland State Law Review

While the purposes of class actions are easy to comprehend, the actual application and requirements of Rule 23 are complex. Before the suit may proceed, it must be certified by the trial court. Although Rule 23 carefully lists the criteria for the court to consider, certification is not a predictable outcome. If it is denied, the action is then litigated solely on the claims of the named plaintiffs. Under certain circumstances the denial would signal the end of the suit. Such an instance would occur if the named plaintiff's claims had become moot. His action would no longer satisfy the …

A Rationale For An Exception To The Seventh Amendment Right To A Jury Trial: In Re Japanese Electronic Products Antitrust Litigation, Frank M. Loo

Cleveland State Law Review

This Article will analyze the Third Circuit's decision and reasoning in Japanese Electronic, in light of the pervasiveness of the seventh amendment right to a jury trial, and argue that exceptions to the seventh amendment exist, not in spite of, but precisely due to the overriding need for procedural due process. The thesis of this Article is that exceptions to the jury trial right should be permitted, and such exceptions are consistent with this right. The Article will focus especially on the Third Circuit's construction of a three-part test, and will examine an alternative basis for finding an exception to …

Products Liability, Whitmore Gray

Book Chapters

The choice of "product liability" as a topic for the Tenth International Congress of Comparative Law was most appropriate. At the present time the legal periodicals are full of articles on this topic, the courts (not only in the United States) are handling an increasing load of these cases, the First World Congress on Product Liability has been held (London, 1977), and unification and harmonization work is already well advanced.

At the time of the First International Comparative Law Congress in 1934 it would have been hard to predict the development of this area of the law out of the …
