Frightfully Good ALR Annotations

Posted on Posted in National

American Law Reports, or ALRs, are a secondary source worth checking out for their in-depth coverage of very narrow issues and for an overview of the related caselaw. They lurk on Westlaw and Lexis and can cover some frightfully spooky topics, such as —

  • Duty of Seller of Real Estate and Its Agent to Disclose to Buyer Facts of Past Violent Crimes or Hauntings Within Property Subject to Sale, 18 ALR 7th Art. 2
  • Injunction Against Removal Of, Or Interference With, Remains Interred in Burial Lot, 21 ALR 651
  • Constitutionality of Statute or Ordinance Requiring, or Permitting, Removal of Bodies from Cemeteries, 71 ALR 1040
  • Dead Bodies: Liability for Improper Manner of Reinterment, 53 ALR 4th 394
  • Admissibility and Prejudicial Effect of Evidence, in Criminal Prosecution, of Defendant’s Involvement with Witchcraft, Satanism, or the Like, 18 ALR 5th 804
  • Use of Mails for Sale of Articles Having Superstitious Associations, 34 ALR 1292
  • Regulation of Astrology, Clairvoyancy, Fortunetelling, and the Like, 91 ALR 3d 766
  • Degree of Homicide as Affected by Accused’s Religious or Occult Belief in Harmlessness of Ceremonial or Ritualistic Acts Directly Causing Fatal Injury, 78 ALR 3d 1132

Happy Halloween!
