LEGAL CAREER AND APPENDIX: TRICKETT ARTICLES SCHOLARSHIP . 193 APPEARING IN THE FORUM AND III. EDUCATOR AND DICKINSON LAW REVIEW . 200 ADMINISTRATOR . 195 ABSTRACT William Trickett, Dean of the Dickinson School of Law from 1890 until his death in 1928, is remembered today as a noted educator, the man for whom the Law School’s Trickett Hall was named in 1918. Sometimes forgotten is his role as a legal author who wrote and published numerous articles and treatises. All of his treatises and many of the more than 100 articles he authored specifically focus on Pennsyl- vania law. His works are still occasionally referenced by courts, a century or more after they were written. This article reexamines his life and legacy. I. EARLY LIFE AND CAREERS William Trickett was born in Leicester, England, on June 9, 1840. 2 His family moved to the United States when he was two years old, settling in Philadelphia. 3 Trickett grew up there, graduating from Philadelphia Central High School at the age of 17. 4 Trickett’s first career was in the ministry. In March 1859, he was admitted as a preacher in the Philadelphia Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. 5 In 1.

    [Ru)Ioc!RBo1, Vol.. 10, 1968, P. 61-114] UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN RADIOCARBON DATES XII H. R. CRANE and JAMES B. GRIFFIN The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan The following is a list of dates obtained since the compilation of List XI in December 1965. The method is essentially the same as de- scribed in that list. Two C02-CS2 Geiger counter systems were used. Equipment and counting techniques have been described elsewhere (Crane, 1961). Dates and estimates of error in this list follow the practice recommended by the International Radiocarbon Dating Conferences of 1962 and 1965, in that (a) dates are computed on the basis of the Libby half-life, 5570 yr, (b) A.D. 1950 is used as the zero of the age scale, and (c) the errors quoted are the standard deviations obtained from the numbers of counts only. In previous Michigan date lists up to and in- cluding VII, we have quoted errors at least twice as great as the statisti- cal errors of counting, to take account of other errors in the over-all process. If the reader wishes to obtain a standard deviation figure which will allow ample room for the many sources of error in the dating process, we suggest doubling the figures that are given in this list. We wish to acknowledge the help of Patricia Dahlstrom in pre- paring chemical samples and David M. Griffin and Linda B. Halsey in preparing the descriptions. I. GEOLOGIC SAMPLES 9240 ± 1000 M-1291.

The next day, the plaintiff, wishing to stop payment on the check, went to defendant bank, and there signed a "Request to Stop Payment." The printed form was supplied by the bank. Among other things, the form contained the following: "Should the check be paid through inadvertence, accident, or over- sight, it is expressly agreed that the bank will in no way be held responsible.

  • Lackawanna Bar Association
    LACKAWANNA JURIST LACKAWANNA BAR ASSOCIATION JUDICIAL OPINION CASE NAME AND NUMBER: D & S Auto Sales, Inc. v. Commercial Sales & Marketing, Inc., 2020 WL 5047202 (Lacka. Co. 2020) DATE OF DECISION: August 25, 2020 JUDGE: Terrence R. Nealon ATTORNEYS INVOLVED: Anthony C. Lomma, Esquire, Counsel for Plaintiff Rebecca Cantor, Esquire, Counsel for Defendant, Valenti Ford, Inc. SUMMARY OF OPINION: The purchaser of a self-loader tow truck filed this action against the seller and the Connecticut-based dealership which allegedly performed faulty repairs on the truck, and the dealership filed a preliminary objection asserting lack of personal jurisdiction on the grounds that it was incorporated in Connecticut, maintained its principal place of business in Connecticut, and did not regularly conduct business in Pennsylvania. The purchaser maintained that the dealership’s website targeted out-of-state buyers, including Pennsylvania consumers, and also noted that its discovery seeking information concerning the dealership’s business activities in Pennsylvania had not yet been answered. In personal jurisdiction challenges, the defendant bears the initial burden of supporting its objections to jurisdiction by presenting evidence, and the burden of proof shifts to the plaintiff only after the defendant has presented evidence in support of its preliminary objection. When an issue of fact is raised, the court may not decide a jurisdictional dispute based upon its view of the controverted facts, and instead must receive evidence on that issue by way of depositions and discovery responses. If the parties’ submissions raise an issue of fact as to the scope of the defendant’s activities within the Commonwealth, the plaintiff should be afforded a reasonable period of time in which to conduct discovery and depositions before the court rules on the preliminary objection.
