Abstract
The question of whether a state supreme court has the authority to abolish or modify a common law rule which is incorporated into the law of that state has been a frequent issue in courts throughout the United States. Every state, except Louisiana, has adopted the common law by statute or constitutional provision. Virginia has employed both methods.
