If asked to identify the two most important cases decided by the Supreme Court of the United States in the twentieth century, informed observers would be likely to name, in whichever order, Brown v. Board of Education and Baker v. Carr.
Legislative Apportionment And Representative Government: The Meaning Of Baker V. Carr, Jo Desha Lucas
Legislative Apportionment And Representative Government: The Meaning Of Baker V. Carr, Jo Desha Lucas
Michigan Law Review
In three recent cases the Supreme Court has reopened the question of the extent to which federal courts will review the general fairness of state schemes of legislative apportionment. It is a question on which the Court has had nothing to say for over a decade, leaving the bar to patch together the current state of the law from the outcome of cases disposed of without opinion considered against a backdrop of language used in earlier decisions.

Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Longshoreman-Shipowner-Stevedore: The Circle Of Liability, Harney B. Stover, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
It is universally recognized that in the past two decades the United States Supreme Court has substantially revised the law under which seamen, longshoremen and harbor workers (or their survivors) may recover damages for personal injury and death. One of the more recent and most authoritative texts in the field of admiralty and maritime law devotes an entire chapter, 147 pages in length, to the subject of the rights of seamen and maritime workers (or their survivors) of recovery for injury and death. The introduction to that chapter likens the Court's rewriting of the law in this field to a …

Taxation-Federal Income Tax-Divocrce Property Settlement As A Taxable Event, Martin B. Dickinson Jr., S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Respondent taxpayer transferred stock to his former wife pursuant to a voluntary property settlement agreement incorporated in their divorce decree. As consideration for the securities conveyed, his wife released her rights to alimony, dower, and intestate succession under Delaware law. The Commissioner of Internal Revenue assessed as taxable gain the difference between the taxpayer's basis for the stock and its market value at the time of the transfer, but the Court of Claims ruled that the taxpayer realized no taxable gain from the transfer. On certiorari, held, reversed. The exchange was a taxable event in which the taxpayer received …
Administrative Law-Judicial Control-Injunctive Extension Of The Rate Suspension Period Under The Interstate Commerce Act, John Eppel
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, two interstate carriers and a municipal corporation, and defendants, four railroad companies, were parties to an investigation and suspension proceeding before the Interstate Commerce Commission. Section 15(7) of the Interstate Commerce Act allows the Commission to suspend the effectiveness of rate revisions proposed by carriers for seven months while it is deciding whether to approve them. If no decision is reached by the end of the suspension period, the proposed rates automatically become effective subject to a subsequent determination of their validity by the ICC. Expiration of the order suspending defendants' rate proposals was imminent when, in an unprecedented …

Security-Chattel Mortgages-Mortgage Recorded Under Federal Aviation Act Of 1958s As Affected By State Laws, William C. Brashares
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, a Michigan corporation, ordered a new airplane from Air-O-Fleet, a retailer. Air-O-Fleet financed its purchase from the manufacturer through a loan from plaintiff, a Texas corporation, who took a chattel mortgage on the airplane. One day after Air-O-Fleet had made delivery to defendant and received full payment, plaintiff recorded the chattel mortgage with the Federal Aviation Authority in accordance with the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, section 1403, which provides that "no conveyance or instrument ... shall be valid ... against any person other than the person by whom the conveyance or other instrument is made or given, ... …
Embezzled Funds As Taxable Income: A Study In Judicial Footwork, Jerome B. Libin, George R. Haydon Jr.
Embezzled Funds As Taxable Income: A Study In Judicial Footwork, Jerome B. Libin, George R. Haydon Jr.
Michigan Law Review
The James case might not be worthy of extensive comment if its only significance rested on the decision that embezzled funds constitute taxable income in the year of misappropriation. But close analysis of the five separate opinions that were written indicates that James may have considerable significance beyond its precise holding.
Antitrust Law-Exclusive Dealing Arrangements-Employment By Courts Of Dual Tests In Applying Section 3 Of The Clayton Act, Walter A. Urick
Antitrust Law-Exclusive Dealing Arrangements-Employment By Courts Of Dual Tests In Applying Section 3 Of The Clayton Act, Walter A. Urick
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner nationally markets its product through exclusive dealing contracts with 80,700 independent distributors. In 1958 petitioner's distributors accounted-as to vitamin concentrates-for 61.52 percent of all house-to- house sales 8.6 percent of the total retail sales, and 34.6 percent of the total sales, of similarly-composed products. The FTC examiner's finding that petitioner had violated section 3 of the Clayton Act was sustained by the Commission. On appeal, held, affirmed, one judge dissenting in part. The control of 61.52, 34.6 or 8.6 percent of the market sales by a seller having exclusive dealing contracts with its buyers is sufficient proof that …

Constitutional Law-Relation Of State And Federal Governments-Application Of The Hatch Act To The Political Activity Of A State Official, Rolfe A. Worden S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought an action to set aside a determination of the United States Civil Service Commission that his political activities while Illinois State Director of Conservation were in violation of the Hatch Act. The district court held that such an application of the Hatch Act would infringe upon the plaintiff's vested rights, and would contravene the constitutional guarantee to the state of a republican form of government. On appeal, held, reversed. Application of the Hatch Act to state employees does not deprive them of any vested rights under the United States Constitution. Palmer v. United States Civil Sero. Comm'n …

Territorial Courts And The Law: Unifying Factors In The Development Of American Legal Institutions-Pt.Ii-Influences Tending To Unify Territorial Law, William Wirt Blume, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown
Michigan Law Review
With the exception of Kentucky, Vermont, Texas, California, and West Virginia, all parts of continental United States south and west of the present boundaries of the original states came under colonial rule, and were governed from the national capital through territorial governments for varying periods of time. All territories in this area were "incorporated" in the sense that they were destined to become states of the United States. All became states by 1912, leaving only Alaska and Hawaii for future statehood. Now that these territories have become states, it seems desirable to review legal developments in all of these "incorporated" …

Federal Antitrust Law-Mergers-An Updating Of The "Failing Company" Doctrine In The Amended Section 7 Setting, Philip Sotiroff S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Even though application of section 7 has become increasingly effective, a specific exception to its coverage has been recognized by Congress and the Supreme Court. This exception is commonly referred to as the "failing company" doctrine. In short. the doctrine holds that an acquired or to-be-acquired firm which is in a "failing" condition, or the acquiring corporation, may interpose this condition as a defense to any prosecution under section 7 seeking to prevent or undo the acquisition of the failing company's stock or assets by the other. This discussion will attempt to explore the development of the doctrine, consider its …

Corporations-Officers And Directors-Liability For Representative Acts Under The Sherman Act, Leon E. Irish
Michigan Law Review
An indictment brought under section 1 of the Sherman Act charged appellee and the corporation that employed him with conspiracy to eliminate price competition in the greater Kansas City milk market. Appellee was charged solely, in his capacity as officer, director or agent of the corporation. The district court dismissed the indictment on the ground that natural persons are indictable under section 1 of the Sherman Act only for acts done on their own account. On direct appeal to the Supreme Court, held, reversed and remanded. A corporate officer is liable under section 1 of the Sherman Act whether …

Future Interests-Rule Against Perpetuities--Cy Pres Applied To Modify An Interest Violating The Rules, T. K. Carroll
Michigan Law Review
Testator's will created a trust for his grandchildren which was to terminate "when my youngest grandchild (whether now living or hereafter born) shall become twenty-five years of age." As it would be possible for the youngest grandchild to become twenty-five beyond the period permitted by the Rule Against Perpetuities, the chancellor held the class gift invalid. The state supreme court reversed, and ruled that since the trust allowed payment of income to the beneficiary as needed, the interests vested upon the death of the testator. On suggestion of error, held, overruled, judgment modified and corrected. The interests may be …
