How Long Is Forever This Time? The Broken Promise Of Bankruptcy Trusts, S. Todd Brown
How Long Is Forever This Time? The Broken Promise Of Bankruptcy Trusts, S. Todd Brown
Journal Articles
Bankruptcy trusts consistently fail to protect the interests of future claimants as contemplated by Section 524(g) of the Bankruptcy Code. Although this reality is generally understood, the extent of this failure has not been examined. And, as demonstrated in this study, the degree to which trusts are failing future victims is greater than commonly realized. More than two-thirds of the trusts that have completed their initial claims processing are paying new asbestos personal injury victims at or near historically low rates, and several others appear to be defunct or inactive. Nearly two-thirds of the trusts that remain active have reduced …
Adequately Representing Groups, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Adequately Representing Groups, Elizabeth Chamblee Burch
Scholarly Works
Adequate representation and preclusion depend on whether the courts treat a litigant as part of a group experiencing an aggregate harm or as a distinct person suffering individual injuries. And though a vast literature about adequate representation exists in the class-action context, it thins dramatically when contemplating other forms of group litigation, such as parens patriae actions and multidistrict litigation. As class actions have gradually fallen into disfavor and attorneys and commentators seek alternative means for resolving group harms, the relative clarity of Rule 23 wanes. How should courts evaluate adequate representation in parens patriae actions and in multidistrict litigation? …
Intimate Liability: Emotional Harm, Family Law, And Stereotyped Narratives In Interspousal Torts, Fernanda G. Nicola
Intimate Liability: Emotional Harm, Family Law, And Stereotyped Narratives In Interspousal Torts, Fernanda G. Nicola
William & Mary Journal of Race, Gender, and Social Justice
Tort liability expanded in the twentieth century, a shift scholars generally attribute to the reorganization of tort law around the fault principle. In privileging compensation and deterrence, this reconfiguration ended various restrictions on liability, long viewed as arbitrary, including limits to the recovery for emotional harm and interspousal immunities. Tort and family law scholars alike portray the end of such immunities as a milestone for gender equality. Their elimination enables spouses and partners to secure compensation for emotional and physical abuse arising in intimate relationships. Yet, tort law is not operating in this way. On the contrary, by endorsing a …

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries
The Court reexamined whether NRS 41A.071's affidavit-of-merit requirement applies to claims for professional negligence, which it had answered only a few years ago in Fierle v. Perez. The Court held that the plain and unambiguous language of NRS 41A.071 indicates that professional negligence actions are not subject to its affidavit-of-merit requirement, which applies only to medical or dental malpractice actions.

Understanding And Mitigating The Negative Impacts Of Product Recalls In The Global Supply Chain, Emily Carow
Honors Projects in Management
Product recalls can be detrimental to any company; the event can be costly and often causes a loss of company reputation, customer trust and loyalty, and sometimes a loss of customer lives. With the number of product recalls on the rise, the issue has become of utmost importance, and although government agencies are set in place to protect the customers, there is no such agency to act in the best interest of the company experiencing the recall (Sowinski, 2012). Therefore, understanding best practices for the prevention of, reaction to, and recovery from product recalls can be extremely beneficial to a …

Remedies: A Guide For The Perplexed, Doug Rendleman
Scholarly Articles
Remedies is one of a law student’s most practical courses. Remedies students and their professors learn to work with their eyes on the question at the end of litigation: what can the court do for the successful plaintiff? Remedies develops students’ professional identities and broadens their professional horizons by reorganizing their analysis of procedure, torts, contracts, and property around choosing and measuring relief - compensatory damages, punitive damages, an injunction, specific performance, disgorgement, and restitution. This article discusses the law-school course in Remedies - the content of the Remedies course, the Remedies classroom experience, and Remedies outside the classroom through …
What Is The Media In The Age Of The Internet? Defamation Law And The Blogosphere, Lauren Guicheteau
What Is The Media In The Age Of The Internet? Defamation Law And The Blogosphere, Lauren Guicheteau
Washington Journal of Law, Technology & Arts
As more people turn to blogs as a source of news and information, the distinction between blogs and traditional media sources has become more complex for courts dealing with First Amendment issues. In the recent case, Obsidian Finance Group, LLC v. Cox, the United States District Court for the District of Oregon held that the defendant, a blogger, was not a member of the media for the purposes of a defamation claim. The court held that media defendants must be at least negligent to be liable for defamatory publications, but because the blogger was a non-media defendant, she was …

Protecting Intangible Cultural Resources: Alternatives To Intellectual Property Law, Gerald Carr
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Cultural resources can be defined as "the tangible and intangible effects of an individual or group of people that define their existence, and place them temporally and geographically in relation to their belief systems and their familial and political groups, providing meaning to their lives." The field of cultural resources includes tangible items, such as land, sacred sites, and religious and finerary objects. The field also includes intangible knowledge and customs, such as tribal names, symbols, stories, and ecological, ethnopharmacological, religious, or other traditional knowledge. The tangible cultural resources of tribes can fall under the protection of statutes such as …

Balancing Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress Claims And First Amendment Protections In Snyder V. Phelps, Douglas Behrens
Balancing Intentional Infliction Of Emotional Distress Claims And First Amendment Protections In Snyder V. Phelps, Douglas Behrens
Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal
The article explores the delicate balance between First Amendment protections and Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress (IIED) claims, using the Snyder v. Phelps case as a focal point. It argues that while the Supreme Court correctly ruled in favor of Westboro Baptist Church's free speech rights, the current legal framework for balancing these interests is outdated. The author proposes an "enhanced publicity test" to modernize the analysis, ensuring that speech contributing to public discourse is protected while safeguarding individuals from severe emotional harm caused by malicious speech.

Thresholds Of Actionable Mental Harm In Negligence: A Policy-Based Appraisal, Louise Bélanger-Hardy
Thresholds Of Actionable Mental Harm In Negligence: A Policy-Based Appraisal, Louise Bélanger-Hardy
Dalhousie Law Journal
Common law courts, in Canada and elsewhere, currently insist on proof of a recognizable psychiatric illness (RPI) before granting damages to plaintiffs seeking compensation for stand-alone mental harm caused by negligent acts. This article argues that the time has come to revisit this well-entrenched principle. The inquiry focuses specifically on the policy concerns underlying the current rule. As a first step, policy considerations for and against limiting the extent of actionable mental harm are canvassed and assessed. The author concludes that some of the perceived advantages of the RPI rule, in particular predictability,are debatable and that insistence on the traditional …

"The Harshness And Injustice Of The Common Law Rule... Has Frequenly Been Commented Upon": Debating Contributory Negligence In Canada, 1914-1949, R Blake Brown, Noelle Yhard
Dalhousie Law Journal
In the early twentieth century many legal professionals damned the law of contributory negligence as complicated and unfair to plaintiffs barred from recovery, while businesspeople often complained thatjudges and juries refused to find sympathetic plaintiffs contributorily negligent. Elite Canadian lawyers, through their work in the Canadian Bar Association and the Commission on Uniformity of Legislation in Canada, proposed model contributory negligence legislation that a number of provinces subsequently adopted. Reviews of these statutes were mixed however The large body of existing case law, despite its complications, encouraged some lawyers and judges to fall back on older jurisprudence in interpreting the …
