  • Jurisdiction to Pronounce Null a Marriage Celebrated in Another State Or Foreign Country 1 T HE Supreme Court of California in Mayer V
    California Law Review Volume XVIII JANUARY, 1930 Number 2 Jurisdiction to Pronounce Null a Marriage Celebrated in Another State or Foreign Country 1 T HE Supreme Court of California in Mayer v. Mayer has given utterance to a dictum that deserves more than passing mention. It is as follows: "Since the validity of marriage is generally deter- mined by the law of the state where the marriage took place, there are cogent reasons why annulment should be sought in the tribunals of that state." It is the latter part of the statement that we believe merits attention. If the learned Justice in the Mayer case means that a court of the state or country where the marriage was celebrated may set it aside, provided both parties are properly before that court, one may not be tempted to quarrel with his statement, but if he means to give support to the opinion that it should have exclusive jurisdiction to annul such marriages irrespective of the residence or domicile of the parties to the suit, he lends some approval to a highly questionable proposition. Unfortunately that proposition has been championed by a few American writers of great learning and ability, and has been ten- tatively adopted by the American Law Institute in its Restatement of Conflict of Laws.2 It is, we believe, a doctrine that, notwithstanding its distinguished defenders, is without substantial support in adjudicated cases; that rests on no solid reason in theory or convenience; and that is calculated, if it should be given credence, to effect much practical injustice.

Backer: Fairness As a General Principle of American Constitutional Law: A FAIRNESS AS A GENERAL PRINCIPLE OF AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL LAW: APPLYING EXTRA-CONSTITUTIONAL PRINCIPLES TO CONSTITUTIONAL CASES IN HENDRICKS AND M.L.B.* Larry Cat Backert We speak the unifying language of fairness in law-making in the late twentieth century. This is the age of due process. The language offairness provides the unifying glue to our law making.1 It is almost a cliche today that, at its limit, all legal categories explode. It is also a commonplace that legal categories tend to be shoved to their limit over the course of time, unless the categories are redefined or destroyed by the weight of their own expansiveness.2 These quasi-biological truisms affect not only statutory and common law legal categories, but increasingly, constitutional categories as well.

  • Supreme Court Annual Report
    A MESSAGE FROM CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM L. WALLER, JR. The judiciary has worked extremely hard to secure adequate funding for the judicial branch of govern- ment, while providing an efficient, cost effective system of justice for the people of the state of Mississippi. The entire appropriation allocated this co-equal branch of state government represents less than 1 percent of the state’s general fund. The 2015 Legislature created seven new trial judge positions as part of its required redistricting. Those new judges began serving in January 2016. The Legislature also authorized pay raises of up to $18,000 a year for court reporters, to be awarded according to longevity and implemented over three years. Much of the work of the judicial branch relies on special funds. The judiciary continues to expand be- yond the traditional courtroom and chambers work with special programs tailored to address specific public needs. Drug courts, which reached statewide coverage in early 2013, continue to be the most successful innovation of the state judiciary. These programs save an estimated $46 million annually in incarceration costs, and save mil- lions more in avoided health and social services expenses for people who are working and supporting themselves and their families. However, our drug courts cannot sustain themselves on the special assessments which were put in place during the early years of the drug court movement. Mississippi Electronic Courts continues to expand into more courts. MEC, an electronic filing system which operated in total of 37 trial courts in 25 counties at the end of 2015, receives no state General Fund appropriation.

    MISSISSIPPI ATTORNEY GENERAL 2016 Office of the Attorney General State of Mississippi 2016 Annual Report Attorney General Jim Hood 2016 ANNUAL REPORT Page 1 MISSISSIPPI ATTORNEY GENERAL A Message from Attorney General Jim Hood Dear Fellow Mississippians, This past January, I had the great privilege to be sworn in to my fourth term as Attorney General. I am humbled and honored by the confidence that the state’s voters have shown in me. As Mississippi’s chief legal officer, I lead a team of dedicated professionals, all of whom are committed to protecting our great state. As I begin my 14th year in office, I am pleased to present to you the annual report from my office for Fiscal Year 2016. Since I took office, rapid changes to technology have given criminals and con artists new ways to prey upon citizens. However, I am proud that our office has met the challenge of these modern problems. We use sophisticated investigative tools to track down cyber criminals and child predators. We strive to stay a step ahead of those who would attempt to take advantage of Mississippi residents. As we respond to new threats, we continue to investigate and prosecute new cases, assist consumers and crime victims, and train law enforcement officers and prosecutors. The attorneys, investigators, program managers, and support staff who serve you in the Attorney General's Office are among the most accomplished and experienced public servants in the nation. This year, two of them were singled out for national recognition. Paula Broome, Bureau of Victim Assistance, was recognized by the American Bar Association for her service to victims of domestic violence.

NATURE OF THE CASE: CIVIL - CONTRACT DISPOSITION: REVERSED AND REMANDED - 09/08/2016 MOTION FOR REHEARING FILED: MANDATE ISSUED: BEFORE RANDOLPH, P.J., LAMAR AND KITCHENS, JJ. RANDOLPH, PRESIDING JUSTICE, FOR THE COURT: ¶1. S.C. Anderson Group International, Inc. (“AGI”) filed two motions–one for leave to amend its complaint and one to transfer to the Circuit Court of Madison County. The County Court of Madison County granted AGI’s motion to transfer based on AGI’s averments and argument that it was seeking more in damages than it originally pleaded, specifically an increase in attorney’s fees. If the amendment were allowed, the ad damnum clause would exceed the $200,000 jurisdictional limit of the county court. Based on the facts and record presented in today’s case, we hold that the jurisdiction of the county court attached at the time the original complaint was filed. We reverse the transfer order. We remand the case to the circuit court with instructions to transfer AGI’s claims against Ram-Kabir of America, LLC, back to the county court.1 STATEMENT OF PROCEEDINGS BELOW ¶2.
