Avery V. Midland County: Reapportionment And Local Government Revisited, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Avery V. Midland County: Reapportionment And Local Government Revisited, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
Earlier in the pages of this Review the judicial application of the "one-man-one-vote" standard to local government is discussed in detail. As noted, the United States Supreme Court did not completely evolve this standard for state legislatures until June, 1964. Since that time, the state courts and the lower federal courts have been inundated with litigation raising the question of the basic applicability of the standard to local governments in this country, as well as a host of accompanying inquiries. This litigation and the courts' reactions to it were extensively traced. At the close of its term, however, the Court …

68/02/01 Brief For The United States As Amicus Curiae, Erwin N. Griswold, Fred M. Vinson, Jr., Ralph S. Spritzer, Beatrice Rosenberg, Mervyn Hamburg
United States Supreme Court
"In sum, we believe that it is consistent with the Fourth Amendment to recognize a power in law enforcement officers to detain and question under circumstances amounting to less than probable cause for a formal arrest, and that, in exercising such power, the officer may legitimately protect himself by a frisk for dangerous weapons" -- from page 18.

Variations On The Theme Of Dombrowski V. Pfister: Federal Intervention In State Criminal Proceedings Affecting First Amendment Rights, Marc Stickgold
Variations On The Theme Of Dombrowski V. Pfister: Federal Intervention In State Criminal Proceedings Affecting First Amendment Rights, Marc Stickgold
Publications
One of the most rapidly changing and complex areas of the law revolves around the propriety and wisdom of federal court ((interference" with state court proceedings involving first amendment rights. Mr. Stickgold examines the doctrine being evolved in this area, centering the discussion around Dombrowski v. Pfister and cases that have followed it. The author reports that several courts have not followed the Dombrowski mandates, and consequently, fundamental first amendment freedoms are not adequately protected.

The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne
The Student As University Resident, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This examination argues that the position that a student’s rights are determined by whether he lives on or off-campus is unraveled by the institution’s position as a state actor. This article disposes of the notion that the university is equivalent to a landlord in property and contract rights and discusses how this distinction affects students’ rights.
The Judicial Trend Toward Student Academic Freedom, William W. Van Alstyne
The Judicial Trend Toward Student Academic Freedom, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
This analysis references the growing likelihood that even “private” colleges and universities may be viewed as state actors due to these institutions growing reliance on public funds and their performance of what is often considered a public function. Under this treatment, this examination discusses the growing sphere of student rights.
The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne
The Demise Of The Right-Privilege Distinction In Constitutional Law, William W. Van Alstyne
Faculty Scholarship
The right-privilege distinction, as it appeared in an early statement by Justice Holmes, has long hampered individuals within the public sector in protecting themselves against arbitrary governmental action. In this article Professor Van Alstyne reviews the uses and misuses to which the "privilege" concept has been put and then examines those doctrines whose flanking attacks have gradually eroded its efficacy. But none of these doctrines comes to grips with Holmes' basic idea of a "privilege" to which substantive due process is inapplicable. Applying Holmes' own jurisprudence, the author argues that the concept of "privilege" is today no longer viable, and …
'Custodial Interrogation' Within The Meaning Of Miranda, Yale Kamisar
'Custodial Interrogation' Within The Meaning Of Miranda, Yale Kamisar
Book Chapters
The primary conceptual hurdle confronting the Miranda Court was the "legal reasoning" that any and all police interrogation is unaffected by the privilege against self-incrimination because such interrogation does not involve any kind of judicial process for the taking of testimony; inasmuch as police officers have no legal authority to compel statements of any kind, there is no legal obligation, ran the argument, to which a privilege can apply. See, e.g., the discussion and authorities collected in Kamisar, A Dissent from the Miranda Dissents: Some Comments on the "New" Fifth Amendment and the Old "Voluntariness" Test, 65 MICH. L. REv. …
The Truth-In-Negotiations Act – An Examination Of Defective Pricing In Government Contracts, Michael J. Graetz
The Truth-In-Negotiations Act – An Examination Of Defective Pricing In Government Contracts, Michael J. Graetz
Faculty Scholarship
Charges of excessive profitmaking on government contracts have issued from the Senate floor and the nation's press and have provided the impetus for recent congressional investigations and proposals for remedial legislation. Profiteering by government contractors is a problem of potentially enormous dimensions since purchases by the federal government total more than seventy-seven billion dollars – over ten per cent of the gross national product. Because the greatest part of these purchases are made by the Department of Defense, congressional action aimed at minimizing excessive profits has focused upon Defense Department procurement activities under the Armed Services Procurement Act (ASPA).

Do Police Sometimes Practice 'Civil Disobedience', Too?, Yale Kamisar
Do Police Sometimes Practice 'Civil Disobedience', Too?, Yale Kamisar
Articles
In a recent address, Mr. Joseph J. Casper, Assistant Director of the FBI, asserted that "a society living under the rule of law cannot permit persons to choose the Jaws which they will obey and the Jaws which they will break." But on reading the rest of his speech, one wonders whether he would strenuously object if the police were permitted to select the laws which they must obey and those they may disregard.

Separation Of Powers In The Australian Constitution, John M. Finnis
Separation Of Powers In The Australian Constitution, John M. Finnis
Journal Articles
Even those who regret it accept that the founders of the Australian Constitution "beyond question" intended the separation of powers now required by the Boilermakers' Case . This article seeks first to show that the arguments advanced to prove the alleged intention are no more probative -than the draftsman's literary arrangement which has prompted the accepted view of constitutional history; and second, to discuss the proper strategy of approach to the historical record on these matters.
