Observations On Personal Injury Law, Stephen J. Werber

Law Faculty Articles and Essays

When I originally came to Ohio in 1970, I was surprised to find that the Ohio state courts lagged considerably behind other states in the development of personal injury law and especially product liability law. Under the leadership of Chief Justice Frank Celebrezze, the court's position was re-oriented. With decisions adopting and liberally defining strict liability, the court took a major step. Shortly thereafter, the court ruled that neither the Ohio Constitution nor any Ohio legislation insulated an employer from liability to employees for intentional torts. These, and other changes, have moved Ohio to the forefront of legal development in …

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The Antitrust State-Action Doctrine After Fisher V. Berkeley, Daniel J. Gifford

Vanderbilt Law Review

In February 1986 the United States Supreme Court in Fisher v. Berkeley' upheld the validity of a municipal rent control ordinance against a contention that the Sherman Act preempted the ordinance. In an eight-to-one decision, the Court effectively gave the coup de grace to its earlier attempt to apply the federal antitrust laws to municipalities and political subdivisions. It also may have finally ended the remarkable series of disingenuous state-action decisions that had become an almost regular part of the Court's calendar since Goldfarb v. Virginia State Bar' in 1975.Fisher holds a promise of restoring to the state-action exemption a …
