Government Liability When Cyclists Hit The Road: Same Roads, Same Rights, Different Rules, Emily Hammond

Georgia Law Review

Most jurisdictions recognize that negligent construction and maintenance of streets exposes government entities to liability. Thus, motorists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists who are injured due to road defects are usually not barred from bringing suit. Yet when the courts grapple with similar injuries to bicyclists, the results are best described as a tangled wreck. Modern cycling jurisprudence sends unwary riders careening through inconsistent judicial opinions, questionable statutory interpretations, and unsettled policies. This Note examines the legal treatment of cases in which cyclists are injured by road hazards, covering sovereign immunity, the public duty doctrine, nuisance, tort immunity acts, vehicle codes, and …

The Death Penalty In Virginia: Attempts At Legislative Reform, Tara Elgie

Richmond Journal of Law and the Public Interest

This paper will argue that the time has come for legislative reform of capital punishment. It will briefly examine the history of the death penalty, focusing on the provisions under which it was reinstated and whether those provisions are met under today's implementation. Then it will look to recent attempts by the Virginia General Assembly to reform the procedures by which it implements the death penalty. The paper will also explore public perception of the death penalty as an explanation for why the death penalty persists as the ultimate punishment, despite recent problems with its implementation.

Should State Corporate Law Define Successor Liability - The Demise Of Cercla's Federal Common Law, Bradford Mank

Faculty Articles and Other Publications

During the 1980s and early 1990s, a series of decisions broadly interpreting the liability provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCIA) appeared destined to transform corporate law practice. CERCIA does not directly address successor liability, but the statute's complex and contradictory legislative history arguably implies that Congress wanted federal courts to apply broad liability principles to achieve the statute's fundamental remedial goal of making polluters and their successors pay for cleaning up hazardous substances.

Notably, a number of courts rejected state corporate law principles that usually limit the liability of successor corporations and instead …

The Usury Trompe L'Oeil, James J. White

Articles

This Article demonstrates how the interaction of a federal statute passed in 1864,1 a case decided by the Supreme Court in 1978,2 and modem technology has legally debarred every state legislature from controlling consumer interest rates in its state-but not from passing laws that appear to do so-and has politically debarred the Congress from setting federal rates to replace the state rates. As a consequence, the elaborate usury laws on the books of most states are only a trompe l'oeil, a "visual deception... rendered in extremely fine detail ... ." The presence of these finely detailed laws gives the illusion …

Telford: Casting Sunlight On Shadow Governments—Limits To The Delegation Of Government Power To Associations Of Officials And Agencies , Leslie L. Marshall

Seattle University Law Review

This Note engages in three areas of analysis. Part II reviews the case of Telford v. Thurston County Board of Commissioner, which, for the first time in Washington State, confronted the issue of whether associations of state officials or agencies are the equivalent of agencies for purposes of the state Public Disclosure Act. Part III examines the broader implications of Telford: (1) whether the principles in Telford should be applied to other state safeguards and restrictions on government agencies, such as the state Open Public Meetings Act, (2) whether the constitutional requirement of one-person-one-vote should be applied to associations of …
