Vanderbilt Law Review

Few topics are currently more at the center of both interest and need than that of Dr. Stumpf's new book. The ship of democracy is being tossed by heavy seas. Many are looking for a haven of faith. They tell us that the ship cannot stay afloat unless it reaches the well-protected harbor of religion. It needs at least to be overhauled, they say, and made more seaworthy in that harbor before it braves again the heavy onslaughts which it must necessarily breast. Dr. Stumpf probes too deeply into the relation between democracy and religion, however, to fall prey to …


Aspects Of The Military Law Of Confessions, Robert D. Duke Dec 1954

Aspects Of The Military Law Of Confessions, Robert D. Duke

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Uniform Code of Military Justice, which became effective in May, 1951, was enacted largely in response to the criticisms leveled at the administration of military justice during World War I. The Code reflected the prevailing feeling that military justice should be brought more nearly into line with the criminal procedures followed in civilian courts. To further this objective, Congress required that in general court-martial cases legally qualified counsel be appointed to represent both the Government and the accused. The position of "law officer" was created and invested with much of the authority exercised by a federal district judge in …

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Scope Of Inquiry In Habeas Corpus Petitions From Military Prisoner, Eugene Alkema Feb 1954

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Scope Of Inquiry In Habeas Corpus Petitions From Military Prisoner, Eugene Alkema

Michigan Law Review

Petitioners, military personnel, were convicted by courts martial of rape and murder. After exhausting military appellate remedies, they petitioned federal civil courts for writs of habeas corpus on the ground that they had been convicted in proceedings denying them basic constitutional rights. The petitions were denied. On appeal, held, affirmed, two justices dissenting. When the record shows that military courts have fairly considered all of the allegations of the petitioners and have found no denial of constitutional rights, civil courts in habeas corpus proceedings will not hear evidence on the merits of the allegations. Burns v. Wilson, 346 …


The Privilege Against Revealing Military Secrets, Robert F. Brachtenbach Feb 1954

The Privilege Against Revealing Military Secrets, Robert F. Brachtenbach

Washington Law Review

One of the rules most frequently invoked to exclude evidence is that of the privileged communication—between husband and wife, attorney and client or physician and patient. In contrast, a voice claiming the privilege to exclude evidence because it involves military secrets has seldom been heard in the courtroom. Yet it is recognized as a genuine testimonial privilege of early origin. In the present era of intensive military preparation—often of a nature most secret, yet in close contact with civilian life—it is appropriate to examine the scope and mechanics of the privilege. At the outset a word of limitation is necessary. …

The Suppression Of Dissent In Wartime - England 1792-1795, Harry M. Broder Jan 1954

The Suppression Of Dissent In Wartime - England 1792-1795, Harry M. Broder

Cleveland State Law Review

As we search today for an effective solution of the problem of preserving our basic freedoms from internal and external enemies, it seems particularly appropriate to consider a some-what analogous situation in history. From 1789 to 1795, English opinion changed from widespread approval of the French Revolution and its aims to a hatred and fear that included all persons and ideas which advocated any departure from the status quo in England itself. As late as 1792, the possibility of war seemed so remote the the Army estimates were reduced. One year later, France and England were at war, and the …
