Judicial Criticism Of Legislation By Courts, Charles G. Haines
Judicial Criticism Of Legislation By Courts, Charles G. Haines
Michigan Law Review
In the application of the doctrine of judicial review of legislative acts, the federal courts of the United States have not infrequently been criticised for usurping part of the functions of the legislature. The criticisms have increased to such an extent as to raise an issue of national significance.
