Parental Immunity- Its Effect On Vicarious Liability
Parental Immunity- Its Effect On Vicarious Liability
University of Richmond Law Review
Parental immunity prohibits a child from instituting a suit against his parent for a personal tort. However, when a child has sustained injury as a result of his parent's tortious act committed in the course of his employment, and the child seeks recovery against his parent's employer under the doctrine of respondeat superior, the majority of jurisdictions feel that this immunity is purely personal and should not be extended to the employer.

Basic Protection And The Future Of Negligence Law, Robert E. Keeton
Basic Protection And The Future Of Negligence Law, Robert E. Keeton
University of Richmond Law Review
Coming to full flower only in the nineteenth century,' negligence law is still a tender young plant among the hardy redwoods of legal history. Yet the jeopardy in which it stands is due not to its youth but to its aging inflexibility-to its failure to adapt to the era of the automobile. This is not to say that its end is at hand. Rather, a future of some kind for negligence law seems assured. The questions in doubt are what kind and for how long. The surest way of causing it to be inglorious and brief is to continue to …

Perpetuities, Privity And Professional Liability, D. Orville Lahy
University of Richmond Law Review
As the number of malpractice cases against members of all professions continues to increase, it seems appropriate to review several new developments which may be of considerable importance to the practicing lawyer with respect to his professional liability.

The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse
The "Attractive Nuisance Doctrine" In Virginia, William T. Muse
University of Richmond Law Review
Children deem it their prerogative to roam wherever they please. In particular, they have a tendency to wander on other people's land and meddle with anything they find there. In doing so they frequently get hurt. The problem of the liability of occupiers of land for such injuries has taken up much of the time of American courts in the last one hundred years and has resulted in many published decisions. The trial courts in Virginia have devoted much thought and time to this problem, and since 1887 twelve cases have been heard and decided by the Supreme Court of …

Negligence Per Se And The Virginia Motor Vehicle Code, William T. Muse
University of Richmond Law Review
Wigmore, writing in 1911, said: "The general question... whether an injury caused by the defendant while violating a [criminal] statute is actionable per se is a troublesome one, open to much argument, and not yet settled by any generally accepted principle."
