The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly Jan 1983

The Organized Bar: A Catalyst For Court Reform, Paul R.J. Connolly

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This Article theorizes that state and local bar associations can play a vital role in ridding their courts of excessive costs and delay. Theory can become practice, however, only if state and local bars are reorganized to broaden their oversight and lobbying functions, in order to make them more effective vehicles of reform. This Article, then, discusses the role the organized bar can and should play in achieving procedural reform that will reduce the delay and cost of litigation. Part I describes the various stages of the reform process, using the Kentucky experiment as a model, and outlines the contributions …

A Synopsis Of The Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act., William S. Sessions, Faye M. Bracey Jan 1983

A Synopsis Of The Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act., William S. Sessions, Faye M. Bracey

St. Mary's Law Journal

The Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Act of 1974 (Act) was passed by the United States Congress on September 7, 1974. The Act amended the Federal Juvenile Delinquency Act (FJDA) which had been virtually unchanged since its enactment in 1938. The Act sets up a procedural framework for the treatment of minors who are within the jurisdictional reach of a federal court due to the commission of an act which contradicts a federal criminal statute. With a thorough understanding of the original FJDA and its amendments, benefits, required procedures, and a juvenile’s constitutional rights, counsel for a juvenile offender in …

Lawyers' Negligence Liability To Non-Clients: A Texas Viewpoint., Brian J. Davis Jan 1983

Lawyers' Negligence Liability To Non-Clients: A Texas Viewpoint., Brian J. Davis

St. Mary's Law Journal

Courts should examine the relationship of a non-client to a negligent lawyer to determine whether a lawyer is liable to a non-client despite lack of privity. In most jurisdictions, attorneys enjoy the privity of contract requirement which limits their duty to exercise reasonable care. As a result, lawyers are normally immune to negligent malpractice actions brought by non-clients. Courts should examine the relationship between the attorney and the non-client to determine whether the requirement of privity is an overly restrictive limit on the lawyer’s scope of duty. These relationships can be classified into three categories. The first category involves plaintiffs …

An At-Will Employee May Be Fired Despite Motives Which Violate State Public Policy., Kelsey Menzel Jan 1983

An At-Will Employee May Be Fired Despite Motives Which Violate State Public Policy., Kelsey Menzel

St. Mary's Law Journal

Scholars generally agree children possess fewer rights than adults under the Constitution. Moreover, the school, as a restricted environment, places additional constraints on the constitutional rights of minors. In recent years, however, the Supreme Court extended to minor students the rights of equal protection and civil due process. In Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, the Court acknowledged children have First Amendment rights of self-expression in a school environment. This marked a significant change from the judiciary’s traditional reluctance to interfere in school matters. Subsequent First Amendment challenges to school board decisions have focused on library book removal. …

Annexation In Virginia: The 1979 Amendments Usher In A New Era In City-County Relations, Robert E. Spicer Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

Annexation has been the most common method of adjusting local government boundaries in the United States since the 1850's. This widespread acceptance of annexation, however, has not created uniform procedures for initiating and completing annexation proceedings. Rather, the process of annexation varies considerably from state to state.

Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus Jan 1983

Virginia Criminal Procedure, Murray J. Janus

University of Richmond Law Review

Professor Ronald J. Bacigal of the T.C. Williams School of Law has made a valuable contribution to the criminal justice system with the recent publication of this book. Not only is the book well-written, but it is succinct and of a size that will easily fit into a lawyer's briefcase to accompany him to court. The manner in which the book is written is such that it can be readily understood by laymen interested in the law or used as the text for a course on criminal procedure in law school or college, and yet the book is detailed enough …

Connecticut's Home Rule: The Judicial Resolution Of State And Local Conflicts, Janice C. Griffith Jan 1983

Connecticut's Home Rule: The Judicial Resolution Of State And Local Conflicts, Janice C. Griffith

Suffolk University Law School Faculty Works

Four years after settling along the banks of the Connecticut river, the residents of the Towns of Windsor, Hartford and Wethersfield joined together to found the Colony of Connecticut in 1639. Central control was placed in the General Court, the predecessor to Connecticut's General Assembly. No thought, however, was given to dismantling the towns' governmental functions. From the outset the founders realized that it was necessary for the General Court to devise a method for delegating certain powers to the towns and to give content to this delegated authority.
