Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Michigan Law Review
Is congressional redistricting by state legislatures an exercise of the lawmaking function, subject to the governor's veto power? Is fairness in such redistricting secured today either by federal statute or by the federal Constitution? Of these two questions, posed by recent events, the first has been completely answered; the second has been answered in part only -- breeding in its answer new and troublesome problems.
Comment Upon Failure Of Accused To Testify, Robert P. Reeder
Comment Upon Failure Of Accused To Testify, Robert P. Reeder
Michigan Law Review
Last year the American Law Institute and the American Bar Association adopted resolutions declaring that when the defendant in a criminal trial does not testify the prosecution should be permitted to comment upon that fact. They urged the overthrow of a rule of law which have prevailed in the federal courts ever since accused persons were first permitted to give testimony, over fifty years ago, and which has governed the courts of forty-two out of the forty-eight states. The discussions which preceded the adoption of the resolutions have been published. In them the advocates of the change do not show …
Legislative Committees And Commissions In The United States, John A. Fairlie
Legislative Committees And Commissions In The United States, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
In the Congress of the United States and the legislatures of the forty-eight states committees composed of a limited number of members play an important part and to a large extent the predominant part, in legislation both by making preliminary inquiries and by planning the detailed provisions of measures. While important changes are at times made in the general sessions, the final result is in a large measure determined by the several committees. In most American legislative bodies there are numerous committees of various kinds, such as select committees for limited special purposes, standing committees regularly appointed, conference committees, and …
Limiting Jurisdiction Of Federal Courts-Pending Billscomment By Members Of Chicago University Law Faculty
Michigan Law Review
At the time the last session of Congress adjourned four important bills affecting the jurisdiction of federal district courts were being considered. The Norris-La Guardia bill would abolish the jurisdiction of federal district courts in suits of a civil nature "between citizens of different states." The Attorney General's bill would not eliminate any of the language of the first paragraph of section 24 of the Judicial Code but would add a provision that a foreign corporation carrying on business in a state other than the one wherein it was organized shall be treated as a citizen of the state wherein …

President Hoover's Recommendations - Waiver Of Right To Accusation By Grand Jury Indictment
President Hoover's Recommendations - Waiver Of Right To Accusation By Grand Jury Indictment
Michigan Law Review
In Illinois also the time between arrest and indictment is considerable. According to the figures of the Illinois Crime Survey the median time after preliminary hearing before indictment of persons who pleaded guilty ranged from thirteen days in Chicago to thirty-seven days in other parts of the state. An average of another two days is added by the time between arrest and preliminary hearing. In Missouri, too, the time interval is long. It seems reasonable to assume, therefore, that in the federal courts the time between arrest and indictment is at least as long, especially in districts where grand juries …
Legislation - Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Act
Legislation - Wisconsin Unemployment Insurance Act
Michigan Law Review
Culminating years of activity in its state legislature, Wisconsin on January twenty-eighth adopted the Groves Bill (Bill No. 8, A) providing for compulsory unemployment insurance, the first legislation of the sort to be enacted in the United States. For a discussion of unemployment insurance measures introduced at the 1931 legislatures see 30 MICH. L. REV. 410 (January, 1932). The compulsory plan is to become operative July 1, 1933, unless Wisconsin employers employing more than 175,000 workers in the state have by that date established approved voluntary insurance systems.
Insolvency Statutes Preferring Wages Due Employees, Paul G. Kauper
Insolvency Statutes Preferring Wages Due Employees, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
Insolvency statutes of a majority of American states and the bankruptcy acts of the United States and England allow a preference to the claims of employees for wages accruing prior to the employer's insolvency or bankruptcy. Related types of legislation such as statutes creating an absolute lien on the employer's property to secure payment of wages, giving a preference to the employees of a deceased employer in the administration of his estate, exempting the wages of laborers from attachment or garnishment, making stockholders of a corporation individually liable for debts representing wages due employees, allowing employees to interpose their claims …

Legislation - Old Age Pensions
Legislation - Old Age Pensions
Michigan Law Review
Out of our changing social theories has grown modern social legislation. The tendency is nowhere better illustrated than in the development of legislation for the care of aged persons. During the last decade great strides have been made in enacting such legislation, and the present year has seen increased activity, leading to the passage of old age pension laws in five states and to numerous other legislative accomplishments.
Legislation - Unemployment Insurance Bills
Legislation - Unemployment Insurance Bills
Michigan Law Review
The ever-present problem of unemployment is today particularly acute. The ultimate aim, of course, must be to put an end to unemployment. But achievement of this aim is not in sight, and in the meantime we are set the task of mitigating, so far as possible, the sufferings incident to unemployment. The laissez-faire attitude toward social problems is passing, and an increasing opinion accepts this task of mitigation as resting on society. In 1908 Sir William Beveridge was able to write: "There has been thus a steady, if gradual, growth of the sense of public responsibility for the case of …
