Judicial Self-Restraint: Political Questions And Malapportionment, Stephen R. Mitchell
Judicial Self-Restraint: Political Questions And Malapportionment, Stephen R. Mitchell
Washington Law Review
Justice Felix Frankfurter, dissenting in the Tennessee Reapportionment Case, characterized the holding of that decision as "a massive repudiation of the experience of our whole past." Whether or not this is true we may presently discover, but in the meanwhile Baker v. Carr may safely be described as a truly momentous constitutional decision. Without wishing to labor the obvious, legislative apportionment can be a violently partisan problem which, in the normal course of things, we might expect the Court to bend every effort to avoid. It is an area in which judicial standards are elusive and in which judicial remedies …

The Role Of The American Bar Association In The Selection Of Federal Judges: Episodic Involvement To Institutionalized Power, Joel B. Grossman
The Role Of The American Bar Association In The Selection Of Federal Judges: Episodic Involvement To Institutionalized Power, Joel B. Grossman
Vanderbilt Law Review
One phenomenon of recent domestic politics has been the resurgence of the American Bar Association as a vital, and often influential, group in the political process as well as in the legal profession. There is no better characterization of this than the ABA's assumption of a lead position in a profession-wide campaign to improve the quality of judges selected for the several court systems in the United States. In a relatively short span of time, the ABA has grown from a group with a minimum of influence to one with a quasi-formal role in the federal selection process. Its success …

Introduction—A Tribute To Justice Douglas, Chief Justice Earl Warren
Introduction—A Tribute To Justice Douglas, Chief Justice Earl Warren
Washington Law Review
The decision of the University of Washington Law Review to commemorate the twenty-fifth anniversary of Mr. Justice Douglas on the Supreme Court of the United States is doubly appropriate. In the first place, his achievements during that important period of his life are in all respects worthy of review and contemplation. Secondly, it is fitting that a University of the great Northwest should make the synthesis at this midway stage of his brilliant judicial career because he is as much a Westerner in the old tradition as is to be found in public life today. Born in the Midwest, reared …

Judicial Selection And Tenure In Indiana: A Critical Analysis And Suggested Reform
Judicial Selection And Tenure In Indiana: A Critical Analysis And Suggested Reform
Indiana Law Journal
Indiana's method of selecting its judiciary by the partisan election process has for years been considered wholly inadequate by those who have given it serious thought. Yet that system persists, notwithstanding many efforts at legislative reform. The Editors of the Indiana Law Journal feel it is the responsibility of all citizens, attorneys and judges to continually seek adoption of the most sound method of selecting and retaining in public office those entrusted with the responsibility of administering justice. The following nwte is presented as one writer's evaluation of the present system and its alternatives, in the hope that it will …
One Man's Stand For Freedom. By Irving Dilliard, Stanley Mosk
One Man's Stand For Freedom. By Irving Dilliard, Stanley Mosk
San Diego Law Review
Much can be said against compilations of the works of men whose career and production of more works continues unabated. Selectivity and evaluation are necessarily tentative. Irving Dilliard, former staff member of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, has attempted to overcome that difficulty in his book on Justice Hugo LaFayette Black by choosing only opinions relating to the collection of seventy-five opinions, sans citations and footnotes, made readable for the layman and referable for the lawyer. Of the 97 Justices served as long as Justice Black. The collection in Dilliard's book corroborates his conclusion that "beginning with the very foundations of …

Judicial Conferences Of The Third Circuit, Joseph A. Katarincic
Judicial Conferences Of The Third Circuit, Joseph A. Katarincic
Duquesne Law Review
Democratic institutions remain vigorous and effective only when governed by free men who willingly submit the structure and processes of government to critical examination. The judicial branch of government has willingly submitted itself to public scrutiny. More than that, members of the bench and bar have diligently and courageously examined and adopted needed changes and reforms in the system which they administer and hold in public trust. They have not been timid; their success is noteworthy. This success is immediately evidenced by the great efforts expended in drafting and revising the Judicial Code of the United States, the Federal Rules …
