Securing, Examining, And Cross-Examining Expert Witnesses In Environmental Cases, David Sive May 1970

Securing, Examining, And Cross-Examining Expert Witnesses In Environmental Cases, David Sive

Michigan Law Review

It is necessary at the outset to define the scope of the problem with which this Article will deal. Environmental cases are litigated in both judicial and administrative tribunals. The judicial proceedings include plenary actions and special proceedings and are heard in both federal and state courts. The administrative proceedings include licensing proceedings before federal agencies such as the Federal Power Commission and Atomic Energy Commission. Whether such administrative proceedings are deemed quasi-judicial or not, they are within the scope of this Article so long as they are adversary and involve testimony under oath, examination and cross-examination of witnesses, a …

Don't Speak Of Love, John W. Reed Jan 1970

Don't Speak Of Love, John W. Reed

Other Publications

I was asked to speak to you this morning about communication in the courtroom. Specifically I was told that this group, keenly interested in the trial process, would like to hear any comments I might offer on problems of persuading judges and jurors. If your delegate who invited me misread your interest, you still have time to move to the Lewis and CLark Room, down the hall, where, indeed, some of the most able communicators in the trial business are demonstrating what I shall only describe.


Rx For Malpractice, Albert Averbach Jan 1970

Rx For Malpractice, Albert Averbach

Cleveland State Law Review

Every tragedy that becomes the subject of extensive coverage by the news media shortly turns into a focal point of malpractice litigation. This, of course, is inevitable and will ever be thus. Doctors for many years have been "spoon fed" stories and warnings about malpractice suits and hazards. Nothing, however, has been constructively advocated as to how this tide can be stemmed or what can be done in the face of it. Some years ago, Mark Twain wrote, "Everybody talks about the weather, but nobody does anything about it." It is our objective in this article to not only alert …


Relocation Of Publicly Supported Charitable Organizations, Deborah C. Goshien Jan 1970

Relocation Of Publicly Supported Charitable Organizations, Deborah C. Goshien

Cleveland State Law Review

Is a donor powerless to prevent a charitable hospital from moving to another county after he has contributed substantially to its building fund? Surprisingly enough, the answer to this question may be "yes." It has been said that the community's interest is evident when charitable monies come from direct public contributions, and that even if no trust is found a charitable corporation must use a gift for the purpose intended. Yet general expressions of what "should be" or what "is right" are insufficient guidelines for proper enforcement of fiduciary duties, and there has been much confusion in the administration and …

Attorney's Fees As An Element Of Costs: The Copyright Experience, E. K. Ii Jan 1970

Attorney's Fees As An Element Of Costs: The Copyright Experience, E. K. Ii

Georgia Law Review

The amount of money frequently involved in copyright litigation, especially on the part of the defendant, is trifling. The expense of any litigation is considerable. Unless, therefore, some provision is made for financial protection to a litigant, if successful, it may not pay a party to defend rights, even if valid, a situation opposed to justice.... It is increasingly recognized that the person who forces another to engage counsel either to vindicate, or defend, a right should bear the expense of such engagement and not his successful opponent.

Bleak House 1968: A Report On Consumer Test Litigation, Philip G. Schrag Mar 1969

Bleak House 1968: A Report On Consumer Test Litigation, Philip G. Schrag

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The author presents the practical problems of consumer test-case litigation. Writing in an informal, anecdotal style, he addresses himself to law students, telling them of the many obstacles they will face in this type of practice. The author relates the innumerable and exasperating delaying tactics employed by his adversaries in several cases now being litigated. Looking beyond the theoretical efficacy of test-case litigation as a solution to the morass of consumers' grievances, the author's experiences suggest the need for basic reform of state procedure in order to permit more speedy resolution of the issues raised by such litigation.


Labor Law--Res Judicata--The Applicability Of Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel To Actions Brought Under Section 8(B) (4) Of The National Labor Relations Act, Michigan Law Review Feb 1969

Labor Law--Res Judicata--The Applicability Of Res Judicata And Collateral Estoppel To Actions Brought Under Section 8(B) (4) Of The National Labor Relations Act, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note is concerned primarily with the possibility of granting preclusive effect to the Board's determination of the issue of union liability under the section 8(b)(4) charge. Since traditional collateral estoppel principles must be adapted somewhat when applied to the Board's procedures, the preclusive effect given to the prior determination of liability will be referred to simply as "estoppel" in order to avoid confusion with the doctrine of collateral estoppel as it was developed in the courts.


Tenant Unions: Legal Rights Of Members, Volodymyr O. Bazarko Jan 1969

Tenant Unions: Legal Rights Of Members, Volodymyr O. Bazarko

Cleveland State Law Review

Various articles have been written about the sociological aspects of tenant unions. This paper will consider, however, only the following tenant union problems: 1. the right of a tenant union to provide an attorney to represent its members in the litigation of personal causes against the landlord; 2. the right of a tenant union, acting as an entity, to bargain collectively with the landlord, sign a contract with him, and then enforce the contract; 3. the right of a tenant union to sue the landlord on behalf of its members.

Copyright--Protection Denied To Verbal Expression Of Simple Subject Matter--Morrissey V. Proctor & Gamble Co., Michigan Law Review Nov 1968

Copyright--Protection Denied To Verbal Expression Of Simple Subject Matter--Morrissey V. Proctor & Gamble Co., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff copyrighted a series of rules for a sales promotional contest in which contestants' social security numbers were used as the basis for a "sweepstakes." In 1959 he submitted the contest rules and game suggestions to several companies, including the defendant Procter & Gamble Company, to see if they were interested in using his scheme. The defendant failed to accept or even to respond to the plaintiff's solicitation. However, three years later Procter & Gamble initiated a "Shopping Fling Sweepstakes" which utilized contestants' social security numbers as the basic element of the game. Plaintiff brought an action for copyright …


Group Legal Services For Trade Associations, Richard D. Copaken Apr 1968

Group Legal Services For Trade Associations, Richard D. Copaken

Michigan Law Review

This Article will examine the goals of the Canons of Professional Ethics in this trade association context, noting the pre-Button limitations on the representation of members of such associations, and analyzing the possible impact of the three cases on the development of group legal services in this area. Hopefully, the perspective gained from such an examination may prove useful in the difficult task immediately confronting the legal profession: reformulation of the Canons to bring them into conformity with Button, BRT and UMW while minimizing, on the one hand, the loss of those traditional conceptions which have continuing value and …
