Federal Supremacy And State Anti-Subversive Legislation, Alan Reeve Hunt
Federal Supremacy And State Anti-Subversive Legislation, Alan Reeve Hunt
Michigan Law Review
State legislatures have been prompted by international tensions of recent years to enact new and stringent anti-subversive laws, thus adding to an already large body of statutes directed against various forms of subversion. Many of these statutes are open to serious objection on constitutional ·grounds. The purpose of this article is to examine those objections which are based upon the notion either that federal power in the area is exclusive or that Congress, expressly or by necessary inference, has pre-empted the field.

The union processed a complaint to the National Labor Relations …

Hospitalization Of The Voluntary Mental Patient, Hugh A. Ross
Hospitalization Of The Voluntary Mental Patient, Hugh A. Ross
Michigan Law Review
In 1949, the last year for which accurate statistics are available, 390,567 persons were admitted to mental hospitals in the United States. Total annual cost of mental illness, including loss of earnings, has been estimated to be over a billion dollars a year. Although the problems involved in admission of the mentally ill patient to a hospital are usually thought of in terms of formal involuntary commitment proceedings, there is an increasing awareness of the desirability of provision for voluntary procedures which would encourage prompt and effective medical care. Voluntary admission is not a form of commitment, although it may …

Michigan Title Examinations And The 1954 Revenue Code's New General Lien Provisions, L. Hart Wright
Michigan Law Review
Title examiners, and more particularly their clients, have long suffered from a controversy-limited almost exclusively to Michigan- involving the methods by which the United States Treasury Department could perfect general federal tax liens. The December 1952 issue of the Michigan Law Review carried an article by the present writer pointing up the irreconcilable difference which has existed for a quarter of a century between the type of record notice which the Treasury was willing to provide prospective bona fide purchasers et al., and the quite different and more demanding type which the Michigan Legislature insisted upon if the local offices …
Obligations Of A State-Created Authority: Do They Constitute A Debt Of The State, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown
Obligations Of A State-Created Authority: Do They Constitute A Debt Of The State, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown
Michigan Law Review
Although provisions in a number of state constitutions limit the amount of debt a state may incur state legislatures frequently have attempted to circumvent such limitations. Recent decades have seen increased use of the "authority," set up by the legislature to accomplish a particular objective and given power to issue evidences of indebtedness to finance the objective, repayment to come from the revenues of the authority, with the declaration that the obligations of the authority are not those of the state. The enabling legislation has been challenged as unconstitutional, often on the ground that the obligations of the authority are …

Exercise of the constitutional privilege in refusing to complete a loyalty certificate could not be considered a …

Torts - Liability Of Physician Erroneously Certifying Insanity, Richard Z. Rosenfeld

Lightning killed an employee as he was carrying a shovel with a metal scoop over his shoulder while in the course of his employment.
