Criminal Law And Procedure - Remedies Available To Convicted Defendant When New Facts Are Found, Smith Warder
Criminal Law And Procedure - Remedies Available To Convicted Defendant When New Facts Are Found, Smith Warder
Michigan Law Review
Due to its haphazard growth and evolution, the Anglo-American system of jurisprudence occasionally left gaping defects in its general contours. Many of these defects have been and are being filled, both by statute and by the continuing development of the common law. However, there is one case which re-occurs with distressing frequency where no satisfactory remedy has been developed and where this lack of remedy can have unjust or even barbaric results.

Congress And The Appellate Jurisdiction Of The Supreme Court, Ralph R. Martig
Congress And The Appellate Jurisdiction Of The Supreme Court, Ralph R. Martig
Michigan Law Review
A democratic government such as ours, based upon the theory of popular sovereignty, presents many curious political phenomena. For example: in order to insure a proper balance of the powers, it has been necessary for the Supreme Court to assume the onerous task of passing upon the constitutionality of congressional legislation. It is unfortunate, but necessary, that the Court be obliged to exercise this power of judicial review at a time when the entire country is suffering from the effects of a severe and sustained economic depression. It is unfortunate, too, that the legislation under judicial examination should involve questions …

Crimes - Right To Bail Of Prisoner Held For Extradition
Michigan Law Review
The prisoner, who was wanted on an indictment in Iowa, had been apprehended in Minnesota under a rendition warrant issued by the governor of that state upon the requisition of the governor of Iowa. Habeas corpus proceedings were brought in the lower court to test the validity of the warrant, but the prisoner was remanded to the custody of the sheriff. He appealed this decision, and made application to fix bail pending the appeal. Held, it is doubtful if the court has the power to admit to bail after the governor's warrant has been issued, and even if the …
Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Michigan Law Review
One of the familiar measures of the Union administration during the Civil War was the suspension of the habeas corpus privilege and the consequent subjection of civilians to military authority. The essential irregularity of such a situation in American law is especially conspicuous when one considers its inevitable sequel-namely, the protection of military and civil officers from such prosecution as would normally follow invasion of private rights and actual injury of persons and property. Such protection was supplied by a bill of indemnity passed in 1863, and this law, with its amendment of i866, forms a significant chapter in the …
