Needed Changes in Texas Venue Law

This paper describes and proposes solutions to three tensions between the Civil Practice and Remedies Code and the Rules of Civil Procedure. Part II sets out the history of the two different bodies of venue law in Texas and explains what happened to them in 1983. Part III recommends that the Code be revised so that a motion to change venue because of prejudice can be filed after the answer. Part IV recommends that the Code should be revised so that live testimony is permissible in a hearing on a motion to change venue because of prejudice. Part V analyzes the treatment of motions to change venue on appeal. It recommends that the Code be revised so that the harmless error rule does not apply when a trial court holds a trial in a prejudiced forum. Part VI summarizes the proposed modifications and explains how they work together to increase efficiency and fairness

The Demographic Transition

Demographic transition is a set of changes in reproductive behaviour that are experienced as a society is transformed from a traditional pre-industrial state to a highly developed, modernized structure. The transformation is the substitution of slow growth achieved with low fertility and mortality for slow growth maintained with relatively high fertility and mortality rates. Contrary to early descriptions of the transition, fertility in pre-modem societies was well below the maximum that might be attained. However, it was kept at moderate levels by customs (such as late marriage or prolonged breast-feeding) not related to the number of children already born. Fertility has been reduced during the demographic transition by the adoption of contraception as a deliberate means of avoiding additional births. An extensive study of the transition in Europe shows the absence of a simple link of fertility with education, proportion urban, infant mortality and other aspects of development. It also suggests the importance of such cultural factors as common customs associated with a common language, and the strength of religious traditions. Sufficient modernization nevertheless seems always to bring the transition to low fertility and mortality

Classical Citation

Aristotle\u27s classical rules for effective advocacy use the framework of logos, ethos, and pathos. Logos is the persuasive force of the reasoning and facts, ethos is the personal credibility of the advocate, and pathos is the emotional appeal of the argument. Citations usually focus on logos and overlook ethos and pathos
