Regulation Of Physician Self-Referral Arrangements: Is Prohibition The Answer Or Has Congress Operated On The Wrong Patient, Christian D. Humphreys
Regulation Of Physician Self-Referral Arrangements: Is Prohibition The Answer Or Has Congress Operated On The Wrong Patient, Christian D. Humphreys
San Diego Law Review
Rapidly increasing health care costs have created a national crisis. Perceiving physician referral behavior as the principal cause, Congress and several state legislatures have prohibited certain referrals. This Comment analyzes the data that spawned such legislation and critiques prohibition of referrals as a solution to the crisis. The Comment asserts that the prohibition remedy is overly broad and largely ineffective. The author recommends a more farsighted solution, such as the creation of a prepaid physician compensation system. The author argues that such a system would minimize the incentive to make unnecessary referrals while simultaneously reducing the level of health care …
County Welfare Department Liability For Handling Reports Of Child Abuse, Kim Boyer
County Welfare Department Liability For Handling Reports Of Child Abuse, Kim Boyer
San Diego Law Review
When a social worker receives a complaint of child abuse and determines that the situation is non-urgent, should the county welfare department be held liable for subsequent injury to the child? This Comment analyzes the four contexts in which a special relationship with a county welfare department may arise and concludes that a duty of care should not be imposed upon county welfare departments in these situations. The author concludes that if the social worker reasonably determines that the situation was non-urgent, the county welfare department should not be held liable. Alternatively, even if a duty of care is imposed, …

An Address: The Constitution And The Dilemma Of Historicism, Roger S. Ruffin
An Address: The Constitution And The Dilemma Of Historicism, Roger S. Ruffin
San Diego Law Review
In thinking about the Constitution, we should keep in mind the commonplaces that lace our thinking. We must keep them in sight at both levels: content and character, commonplace and commonplaceness–else their importance may escape us. Maitland’s view that "the history of law must be a history of ideas" is one such commonplace. Another was noticed by Edward Corwin: the "commonplace that every age has its own peculiar categories of thought; its speculations are carried on in a vocabulary which those who would be understood by it must adopt . . . ." These are tow of the commonplaces of …
Parent-Child Immunity: The Case For Abolition, Christine V. Pate
Parent-Child Immunity: The Case For Abolition, Christine V. Pate
San Diego Law Review
"However repugnant it may seem that a minor child should sue his own father, it is equally repugnant that a child injured by his parent's negligence, perhaps maimed for life should have no redress for the injury he has suffered." This anomaly exists today in the majority of jurisdictions which recognize the parent-child immunity. The origins of this rule, its exceptions and its present status nationwide and in California reflect a judicial determination not to interfere with the basic unit of our society, the family.
Criminal Law At The International Border, Josph A. Milchen
Criminal Law At The International Border, Josph A. Milchen
San Diego Law Review
[G]eographical considerations are set forth to indicate the potential scope of legal problems that might arise at an international border. The mere length of the border permits imaginative speculation regarding possible violations of customs laws. Although some aspects of the law applicable at the international border are well settled, neither legislative insight nor fertile imagination nor past experience provide sufficient perception to cover the myriad situations that can arise at the border. Furthermore, new developments in related fields must be examined insofar as the border-crossing situation may affect or be affected by them. As a result, there ate the following …
Double Jeopardy V. Double Punishment--Confusion In California, Michael J. Bruce
Double Jeopardy V. Double Punishment--Confusion In California, Michael J. Bruce
San Diego Law Review
This Article proposes to clarify this area of criminal practice. California Penal Code § 1023, prohibiting multiple prosecutions, and California Penal Code § 654, prohibiting multiple punishment for the same act or omission, are often misapplied by the California criminal courts. California Penal Code § 1023 sets down two tests to determine whether jeopardy has attached: the "identity of the offense" test and the "necessarily included offense" test. California Penal Code § 654 proscribes double punishment using concurrent sentencing, and prevents double jeopardy using not only the "necessarily included offense" test from § 1023, but also a broader "indivisible transaction" …
Address By Secretary Of Labor W. Willard Wirtz, W. Willard Wirtz

San Diego Law Review

Because they were addressed to the particular group assembled and depended for their meaning upon circumstances existing at the time, certain introductory comments have been deleted.

Felony-Murder - Surviving Co-Felons Are Punishable For First Degree Murder Under California Penal Code Section 189 For The Killing Of A Confederate By The Owner Of The Store Which They Were Robbing (People V. Hand, Cal. 1963), Robert C. Baxley
San Diego Law Review
In the process of executing a planned robbery of a store, one of four robbers was killed by the owner. The store had been previously robbed and the owner was waiting for such a recurrence. Held, on demurrer to the indictment, the surviving felons were punishable for first degree murder because the legislature intended this fact situation to be within the purview of section 189 and because of a strong public policy as a deterrent to violent felonies. People v. Hand, Crim. No. 5471, Super. Ct., San Diego (July 22, 1963).
