Georgia Local Government Officers: Rights For Their Wrongs, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Apr 1979

Georgia Local Government Officers: Rights For Their Wrongs, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

Responsibility for damage caused by the misconduct of local government officers and employees has long been a concern of the law and of legal observers. According to most accounts, Anglo-American law historically has responded with two diverse rules: immunity for the governments, and liability for the official; both, however, are only points of departure. Although both rules are well established, each carries its own qualifications and the precise relationship between the two is a matter of some controversy.

Statutory And Judicial Responses To The Problem Of Access To Government Information, Constance Y. Singleton, Howard Hunter Mar 1979

Statutory And Judicial Responses To The Problem Of Access To Government Information, Constance Y. Singleton, Howard Hunter

Research Collection Yong Pung How School Of Law

The tremendous growth of government occasioned by greater involvement in the social and economic life of the nation has been the cause of many concerns. Two perennial concerns have been the extent to which the government can prevent public access to information on the basis of which policies and decisions are made and the possibility for misuse by the government of information private to individuals or business firms. This article focuses on federal statutory responses to these issues. The legislative intent has usually been praiseworthy but the resulting statutes, especially as they have been interpreted by the courts, have often …

Comparative Negligence In Texas, William V. Dorsaneo Iii Jan 1979

Comparative Negligence In Texas, William V. Dorsaneo Iii

Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters

Article 2212a of the Texas Revised Civil Statutes, the Comparative Negligence and Contribution Among Joint Tortfeasors Act, took effect on September 1, 1973. It made significant changes in the respective rights and liabilities of injured persons and tortfeasors in negligence cases. This paper is principally concerned with multiple tortfeasor cases, and with section 2 of article 2212a, which modified principles concerning joint and several liability, contribution, and settlement. Prior to the enactment of article 2212a, each tortfeasor whose negligent behavior proximately caused an indivisible injury to another was jointly and severally liable to the injured party. This principle has been …

Reflections On Unconstitutionality In Futuro: Shavers V. Attorney General And Robinson V. Cahill, Philip H. Hecht Jan 1979

Reflections On Unconstitutionality In Futuro: Shavers V. Attorney General And Robinson V. Cahill, Philip H. Hecht

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will argue that holdings of unconstitutionality in futuro are difficult to reconcile with the separation of powers doctrine because they foster impermissible intrusions on the ability of the legislative and executive branches to act independently of the judiciary. It is further argued that in the two cases where courts have adopted the unconstitutionality in futuro approach, the failure to satisfy all of the proposed standards for the appropriateness of unconstitutionality in futuro and the further considerations of judicial legitimacy and competency should have led the courts to consider other less drastic alternatives before deciding to use unconstitutionality in …

Note, South Dakota V. Brown: Judicial Enforcement Of Governor's Duty To Extradite Fugitives, Kevin C. Mcmunigal Jan 1979

Note, South Dakota V. Brown: Judicial Enforcement Of Governor's Duty To Extradite Fugitives, Kevin C. Mcmunigal

Faculty Publications

This Note focuses on the Brown court's analysis of the issue of state court enforcement of the gubernatorial extradition duty imposed by the Extradition Act. It examines the court's construction of the Act, as well as the court's initial decision to frame the basic question addressed as solely one of statutory interpretation. The conclusion reached is that the Brown court's analysis is a product of result-oriented judicial reasoning. This Note does not address the court's handling of enforcement of the federally imposed duty nor the theoretical justifications for gubernatorial discretion in extradition of interstate fugitives

The Relationship Between Military And Civil Power In Ohio, John Kulewicz Jan 1979

The Relationship Between Military And Civil Power In Ohio, John Kulewicz

Cleveland State Law Review

State law has struck an unconstitutional balance between military and civil power in Ohio. The Strict Subordination clause of the Ohio Constitution provides, "the military shall be in strict subordination to the civil power."' Nevertheless, the statutes that govern deployment of the state militia allow commanders of the state's military forces to eclipse civil power. This article examines the law enforcement role of the state militia and recommends several measures by which the General Assembly can implement the constitutionally prescribed relationship between military and civil power in Ohio.
