Criminal Law - Contradictory Statements Under Oath As Grounds For Perjury In The Federal Courts, Richard M. Adams S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review

During the two years in which ex-Communist Matusow served as a professional government witness, he accused 180 or more persons as being members of the Communist Party or Communist sympathizers. This same witness has now described himself as a "habitual and perpetual liar" and has publicly admitted that all of his previous testimony was false. On the strength of this recantation, motions were filed for a new trial in …

The six states in this group present some very special cases. They range from an original colony to Florida and Texas, which were admitted to statehood in 1845.

No docket delay of more than six months is found anywhere except in Texas, …

Adequacy Of Instructions To The Jury: I, Curtis Wright, Jr
Michigan Law Review
In view of frequent judicial complaints about "instructions by the acre," it may be appropriate to begin with a short justification for an article bearing a title which might appear to suggest an antithetical problem, that is, the existence of a question as to the adequacy of instructions to the jury.
