The National Court Of Appeals: A Constitutional "Inferior Court"?, Michigan Law Review Dec 1973

The National Court Of Appeals: A Constitutional "Inferior Court"?, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Objections have been raised to the necessity for and the practicality of such a court. These objections are, however, tangential to the subject of this Note and are fully discussed elsewhere. An additional question has been raised regarding the constitutionality of the proposed court. Article III, section 1, of the Constitution provides: "The judicial Power of the United States shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish." Several commentators have challenged the proposed court as violative of the provision for "one supreme Court." There is, …

Three Reviews Of R. M. Burns (Ed.), One Country Or Two?, L. C. Green Dec 1973

Three Reviews Of R. M. Burns (Ed.), One Country Or Two?, L. C. Green

Dalhousie Law Journal

One Country or Two is an excellent book on the most critical subject faced by Canadians. It discusses Canada's nationhood and the issues of its survival as a political marriage of two peoples and two cultures. Ten main essays are edited by R. M. Burns, introduced by Principal John Deutsch, and provided with a reflective postscript by one of the essayists, Richard Simeon, who reviews some features of Quebec society in the light of the October crisis of 1970. All contributors are English-speaking Canadians and all except three are on the faculty of Queen's University. The essays are not uniform …


In Quest Of A "Decent Society": Obscenity And The Burger Court, Donald C. Harrison Nov 1973

In Quest Of A "Decent Society": Obscenity And The Burger Court, Donald C. Harrison

Washington Law Review

It is the thesis of this Comment that the Burger Court, in its search for constitutional certainty and structure, and for neutral principles of constitutional adjudication, has seized upon the Meiklejohn model and applied it to the area of obscenity. It has done so gropingly and in an effort to restrict, not to expand, openness of expression; nevertheless, as a repository of constructive constitutional theory, Miller and its companion cases may prove more beneficial to future first amendment adjudication than all the confusing obscenity decisions of the Warren years.

The Submerged Constitutional Right To An Absentee Ballot, Michigan Law Review Nov 1973

The Submerged Constitutional Right To An Absentee Ballot, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In an attempt to accommodate the growing number of people who cannot be present at the polls on election day, many states and the federal government have enacted statutes that allow voters to cast their ballots in advance of the election either by mail or in person. Eligibility for these absentee ballots is, however, restricted to those voters who fall within the classifications set up by the statute, and occasionally the option is open only to those who wish to vote in general elections. The few court decisions that have reviewed state absentee-ballot legislation, or the lack of such legislation, …

Self-Incrimination: Privilege, Immunity, And Comment In Bar Disciplinary Proceedings, Michigan Law Review Nov 1973

Self-Incrimination: Privilege, Immunity, And Comment In Bar Disciplinary Proceedings, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The questions of the extent of an attorney's right to claim the privilege against self-incrimination during bar disciplinary proceedings and of the consequences of the exercise of the privilege has created a sharp division of opinion. The privilege against self-incrimination necessarily involves a conflict between the public's interest in disclosure and the individual's interest in privacy and nondisclosure. However, the conflict is exacerbated when the individual claiming the privilege is entrusted with important public responsibilities.

The Case Against Entrenchment Of A Canadian Bill Of Rights, Douglas A. Schmeiser Sep 1973

The Case Against Entrenchment Of A Canadian Bill Of Rights, Douglas A. Schmeiser

Dalhousie Law Journal

A limited form of judicial review has always been a prominent feature of Canadian federalism. Immediately after confederation, Canadian Courts assumed the jurisdiction to declare a statute to be beyond the legislative competence of the enacting body.' Until comparatively recently, Courts have also assumed that a totality of unrestricted legislative power resides in Parliament and the Provincial legislatures, i.e., as long as legislative jurisdiction exists, there is no limitation on the nature of legislation which may be passed.

Washington Law Review

Defendants were arrested under authority of R.C.W. § 9.87.010(13), Washington's school loitering statute, for having distributed anti-Vietnam war leaflets to students on school premises in knowing violation of a school board regulation which required prior approval by the superintendent of nonschool-related handouts. The peaceful distribution occurred prior to morning classes as students were leaving their busses. Defendants subsequently were convicted, although they contended that the statute was unconstitutionally vague and overbroad and as applied violated their right to free speech. On appeal to the Washington Supreme Court, the conviction was affirmed. Held: R.C.W. § 9.87.010(13) is constitutional: the statute is …

Constitutional Law—Creditor-Debtor Law: Procedural Due Process And Washington's Prejudgment Seizure Procedures—Fuentes V. Shevin, 407 U.S. 67 (1972), P. A. G.

Washington Law Review

A recent United States Supreme Court decision, Fuentes v. Shevin, and two recent Washington Court of Appeals decisions, Lucas v. Stapp and Seattle Credit Bureau v. Hibbitt, held that except in extraordinary situations the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution requires notice and an opportunity to be heard before any significant property interest can be seized by actions involving government officials. Under these cases, Washington's attachment, garnishment, and replevin statutes appear to be unconstitutional insofar as they provide for prejudgment seizure of a defendant's property without prior notice and an opportunity to be heard. …

Immunity Under The Speech Or Debate Clause For Republican And From Questioning About Sources, Michigan Law Review May 1973

Immunity Under The Speech Or Debate Clause For Republican And From Questioning About Sources, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Gravel v. United States, which arose out of Senator Mike Gravel's attempt to publicize the Pentagon Papers, concerned the scope of the immunity conferred upon a legislator and his aide under article I, section 6, of the United States Constitution. This provision, commonly called the "speech or debate clause," provides that "for any Speech or Debate in either House, [United States Senators or Representatives] shall not be questioned in any other Place." Gravel is one of the few Supreme Court interpretations of this clause.

Washington Law Review

Defendant Rabe, manager of a Richland, Washington, drive-in theater, was convicted under the state obscenity statute for exhibiting the film "Carmen Baby," a somewhat updated version of the Bizet opera, on a screen visible from an adjacent highway and from neighboring houses. On appeal, the Washington Supreme Court expressed doubt that the film was obscene on its face under prior holdings of the United States Supreme Court but declared that a right of privacy was "enshrined" in the United States Constitution. Asserting that exhibition of the film in an open-air theater from which it could be viewed by noncustomers constituted …


The Kenyan Constitution And The Question Of Succession: The Influence Of A Strong Leader, Barbara Kelley Apr 1973

The Kenyan Constitution And The Question Of Succession: The Influence Of A Strong Leader, Barbara Kelley

IUSTITIA

Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, President of the Republic of Kenya, is over eighty years of age. The prospect of the people of Kenya having to select a successor to President Kenyatta raises fundamental questions regarding the status of Kenya's constitution in terms of its having assumed, in the minds of Kenyans, the aura of legitimacy to the extent that they will accept its mandate as the supreme law. This paper will be an attempt to analyze, first, the process of legitimization of the Kenya constitution, specifically in regard to the provisions for succession to the presidency; and secondly, to ascertain what, …
