Abstract:
A key statutory exception to the rule against enforcing contractual attorney fee provisions is found in Section 6-21.2 of the North Carolina General Statutes, which allows enforcement of attorney fee provisions in notes, conditional sale contracts, and \"other evidence of indebtedness\" under certain circumstances. Since 1967, this statute has been the main statutory exception applicable to fee provisions in contracts and the subject of much case law. In June 2011, the North Carolina General Assembly added another major exception by creating G.S. 6-21.6, which authorizes courts to enforce reciprocal attorney fee provisions in business contracts. This bulletin discusses the law surrounding the existing statute and introduces new G.S. 6-21.6.

Abstract:
Under the new Crawford analysis, a testimonial hearsay statement by a person who does not testify at trial is inadmissible unless the prosecution establishes unavailability and a prior opportunity to cross-examine. Courts have struggled to apply this analysis to various types of forensic reports, including autopsy reports, drug tests and chemical analysts' affidavits. This Bulletin examines Williams v. Illinois, the U.S. Supreme Court's latest decision applying Crawford to forensic reports, and analyzes its implications on criminal cases in North Carolina.

Abstract:
In both North and South Carolina, there is a story of a supposed conversation between the governors of the two states in which one remarks to the other, 'It's a damn long time between drinks.' Historians have attempted to track down the saying to its origin but have had little success. Purported roots of the saying have been identified between governors in 1838, 1867, and the 1870s.

Abstract:
In North Carolina politics between 1835 and 1861, a close two-party system that mimicked the national stage existed. Senatorial elections in the state legislature were a constant example of the rivalry between the Whig and Democratic parties. These elections were often riddled with questions of personal, regional, and ideological alliances, both within each party and between.

Abstract:
Recently the General Assembly made significant changes to the statutes governing decedents' estates. These amendments included an effort to capture the range of contested estate issues into a general, defined category and to set rules to govern them. The new legislation designates these matters as \"estate proceedings\" and goes on to specify the procedures that apply to their adjudication--from filing to litigation to hearing to appeal. This bulletin discusses the new procedural framework for contested estate proceedings.
