  • Dean William Trickett
    Dean William Trickett By MARK W. PODVIA, 1 West Virginia University College of Law Member of the Pennsylvania Bar TABLE OF CONTENTS I. EARLY LIFE AND CAREERS . 192 IV. DEATH AND LEGACY . 199 II. 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.

First National Bank of Scranton,' one of first im- pression in this Commonwealth, the facts were these: The plaintiff, Thomas, was a depositor with defendant bank. On October 12, 1950, the plaintiff delivered his check, drawn on the bank, to Sabor Dental Supply House, as payee, for the sum of $1225. 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. The Bank receives this request upon the express condition that it shall not be in any way liable for its act should the check be paid by it in the course of its business.

  • 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.

  • Dillon's Rule
    PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATOR’S MUNICIPAL DESKBOOK | 6th Ed. (2020) Dillon’s Rule – State Primacy Over Local Governments Ideally, the state-local relationship is harmonious, with both levels of government working in concert to achieve mutually compatible goals. Some discord, however, seems inevitable and, perhaps, desirable. (“Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.” Mahatma Gandhi.) A local government, in its desire for autonomy, may be confronted with the Commonwealth’s assertion of state supremacy. This concept of state supremacy is embodied in a fundamental precept of municipal law holding that municipalities are creatures of, and subject to the plenary power of, the state. This tenet is embodied in what is known as Dillon’s Rule. For over a century, this general principle has explained the relationship between the state and its local governments. Judge John Dillon wrote in a now famous 1868 opinion that the powers of local governments must be sanctioned by the state: It is a general and undisputed proposition that a municipal corporation possesses and can exercise the following powers, and no others: first, those granted in express words; second, those necessarily or fairly implied in or incident to the powers expressly granted; third, those essential to the accomplishment of the declared objects and purposes of the corporation—not simply convenient, but indispensable. Any fair, reasonable, substantial doubt concerning the existence of a power is resolved by the courts against a corporation, and the power is denied.1 This doctrine was adopted by Pennsylvania in Philadelphia v. Fox,2 and it remains fundamental for the evaluation of local government powers.3 1 Clinton v.

German migration into Pennsylvania began in 1683, peaked during the years 1717 through 1754, and continued throughout the nineteenth century. The research indicated that both official and unofficial colonial and state attempts were made to Anglicize the Germans through the use of the English language in schooling for the Germans. The Germans, nonetheless, strongly resisted these efforts to displace their "Muttersprach" through private schooling, political participation in local and state affairs, and through public support of substantial German language instruction in the common schools until the advent of World War I. These findings call into question research that concluded that an American tradition of bilingual education consisted strictly of local experiments in large, urban Midwestern and Southwestern schools and supports scholarship that has maintained that the United States granted language rights to its earliest minorities.
