Multilingualism And The Cbc Mandate: An Example Of Ineffectual Regulation, William Charland Oct 1977

Multilingualism And The Cbc Mandate: An Example Of Ineffectual Regulation, William Charland

Dalhousie Law Journal

The control of broadcasting, more than any other field subjected to regulation, demands, by its very nature, political neutrality. Given that control is deemed necessary,1 almost total delegation of that control must be made to an independent tribunal in order to avoid charges of political interference with the freedoms of speech and expression. The presence of the CBC as apublic corporation, however, raises questions as to the source and substance of the CBC mandate. What body is responsible for creating the goals or objects of this corporation? Who bears the responsibility initially to interpret and shape programming to meet these …


Membership Rights In Nonprofit Corporations: A Need For Increased Legal Recognition And Protection, Robert H. Brownlee Apr 1976

Membership Rights In Nonprofit Corporations: A Need For Increased Legal Recognition And Protection, Robert H. Brownlee

Vanderbilt Law Review

This Note has focused on three issues concerning membership in nonprofit corporations: whether members are entitled to increased protection of voting rights; whether state courts adequately have analyzed questions of membership standing to assert individual claims; and whether members should have standing to institute derivative actions on behalf of a nonprofit corporation. In each of these areas membership rights deserve increased legal recognition and protection.


Citizen Access To Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In A Transnational And Federal Context, Eric Stein, Joseph Vining Jan 1976

Citizen Access To Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In A Transnational And Federal Context, Eric Stein, Joseph Vining

Articles

In an international legal order dominated by states, the individual citizen is generally viewed as lacking international legal personality. It is true with little exception that an individual cannot appear in an international forum, political or judicial, to press his rights. Despite the dramatically increased emphasis upon international protection of basic human rights, individuals have been given access to international dispute-settlement machinery in only a few isolated instances within the United Nations system, and on a regional level pursuant to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Paris Treaty establishing the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) and the Rome …

Colloquium On Certain Legal Aspects Of Inter-American Cooperation, A. A. Fatouros Jan 1975

Colloquium On Certain Legal Aspects Of Inter-American Cooperation, A. A. Fatouros

Articles by Maurer Faculty

On the occasion of the 1974 session of the General Assembly of the Organization of American States held in Atlanta, Georgia, it appeared appropriate to organize a colloquium at which concerned jurists from the various parts of the Americas could exchange viewpoints on subjects of immediate and urgent concern. The Colloquium was held on April 20, 1974, at the University of Georgia Law School and was presented in cooperation with the Georgia Society of International Law and the American Society of International Law.


The Administrative Tribunal, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1971

The Administrative Tribunal, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Book Chapters

During the past summer I have had the good fortune to join with colleagues of the university community from the administration and from the student body in two separate but related endeavors: first, to draw up a body of substantive rules for nonacademic conduct on the campus and, second, to establish a judicial body to enforce those rules. The latter problem, the composition of a university judiciary, is the subject of this discussion. The views I shall present about structuring a university judiciary are drawn in large part from the discussions of the committees to which I belong. In addition, …


Constitutional Law-Exclusion Of Negroes From Dental Society That Controls Selection Of State Dental Officials Violates The Equal Protection Clause-Hawkins V. North Carolina Dental Society, Michigan Law Review Jan 1967

Constitutional Law-Exclusion Of Negroes From Dental Society That Controls Selection Of State Dental Officials Violates The Equal Protection Clause-Hawkins V. North Carolina Dental Society, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a licensed Negro dentist, was refused admission to the North Carolina Dental Society, a voluntary professional organization that plays a significant role both in the selecting of state dental officials and in the promotion of state dental programs. At the time the plaintiff sought admission to the Society, state statutes empowered the Society to elect the six members of the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners and to designate the dental representatives to the Medical Care Commission and the Mental Health Council. After the plaintiff brought suit to compel his admission to the Society, the Society persuaded the state …

The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination As Applied To Custodians Of Organizational Records, William H. Fraser Nov 1958

The Privilege Against Self-Incrimination As Applied To Custodians Of Organizational Records, William H. Fraser

Washington Law Review

One of the most critical areas of the courts' inquisitorial power involves organizational documents—books and records of the business, social, and political combines so much a part of the modern American scene. The development of the "organization man," and the diverse associations to which he belongs, has focused government attention—and regulation—upon the activities of large numbers of combinations, associations, and organizations. Perhaps it is pertinent to ask what areas of organization activity remain immune from the government subpoena. When may an officer or member rely upon the privileges he could assert with regard to his private affairs?

Municipal Corporations - Tort Liability - Liability For Torts Committed By Municipal Employees In Exercise Of Governmental Functions, Ralph E. Boches

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued the Town of Cocoa Beach for damages for the alleged wrongful death of her husband. Plaintiff's husband had died of smoke suffocation after being locked in a jail which was left unattended by the city jailor. The lower court dismissed plaintiff's complaint. On appeal, held, reversed. A person injured by the negligence of a municipal employee acting within the scope of his employment may recover against the municipal corporation. Hargrove v. Town of Cocoa Beach, (Fla. 1957) 96 S. (2d) 130.


The Legal Status Of The Red Cross, Wesley A. Sturges Nov 1957

The Legal Status Of The Red Cross, Wesley A. Sturges

Michigan Law Review

Red Cross is a term well known in the world at large; so is the heraldic emblem of the red cross on a white background. Many people in many lands use them to indicate and symbolize a variety of humanitarian purposes, principles and services. When the term is used as a proper name, generally it identifies an organization which is lawfully authorized to carry out those purposes and services under that name. Organizations by that name have been accorded exclusive authority to carry out the given humanitarian programs, exclusive authority to use the words, whether as a proper name or …

International Law-Privileges And Immunities Of United Nations Delegates And Officials-The International Organizations Immunities Act, Robert K. Eifler S.Ed. Jan 1948

International Law-Privileges And Immunities Of United Nations Delegates And Officials-The International Organizations Immunities Act, Robert K. Eifler S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The legal status of United Nations delegates and officials is not tied to the prerogatives of diplomatic agents by international law, as was done in the Covenant of the League of Nations. This leaves the Member Nations and United Nations free to work out a system of privileges and immunities based on the requirements of the functions performed by varying strata of individuals, but until national legislation or an international convention is adopted the legal status of both delegates and officials depends upon an interpretation of the word "necessary."'

The United States And World Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson Jan 1922

The United States And World Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

On what conditions should the United States enter a world organization for the maintenance of peace? Viewing the question broadly, should not the United States enter world organization upon one condition, namely, that the organization give promise of the utmost achievement in the maintenance of peace? Unless we are prepared to repudiate the avowals of our statesmen and reverse what is perhaps the oldest and most fundamental tradition of our foreign policy, can we consistently insist upon any other condition than this one?


League Of Nations And The Laws Of War, Ralph W. Aigler Jun 1921

League Of Nations And The Laws Of War, Ralph W. Aigler

Michigan Law Review

Everyone would agree that the renovation of international law presents a problem of commanding importance. Diversity of opinion is manifested, however, as soon as attention is directed to the details of the renovating process. Where to begin, what to emphasize, and how to go about it are questions which provoke a medley of discordant answers. Out of this medley a few paramount issues are beginning to emerge. One such issue concerns the so-called law of war. What shall be done about it? The World War revealed its lack of sanction, its confusion with self-interest, its chaotic uncertainty. Can it really …

Note And Comment, Alan W. Boyd, Ralph E. Gault, Horace Lafayette Wilgus, Edwin C. Goddard

Michigan Law Review

The Permanent International Court of Justice - For the first time in history leading powers both great and small have been able to agree upon a plan for an international court of justice. The plan was formulated last summer by an advisory committee of jurists sitting at The Hague. Since then it has been submitted to the Council and the Assembly of the League of Nations and has been approved. It will come into operation as soon as the project has been ratified by a majority of the nations belonging to the League

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson Apr 1920

The Execution Of Peace With Germany: An Experiment In International Organization, Edwin D. Dickinson

Articles

IN one respect, at least, the Peace of Versailles is unlike any of the great European settlements of earlier date. The provisions included to ensure the execution of its terms are vastly more ambitious in scope and more elaborate in detail than anything of the kind contained in earlier treaties. There is an extraordinary emphasis upon organization for the enforcement of peace.


League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews Jan 1920

League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews

Michigan Law Review

The Covenant for a League of Nations has justly aroused an immense amount of discussion in this country, since it undoubtedly presents to the American nation the most important of the many questions of foreign policy growing out of the Great War. Most of this discussion has dealt with the matter solely from the standpoint of policy or expediency, without noticing the interesting constitutional questions involved. When the Covenant has, on occasion, been considered from the constitutional point of view, such corsideration has generally been merely incidental and the writer's or speaker's views as to the desirability of subscribing to …


Book Reviews, Edson R. Sunderland, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1919

Book Reviews, Edson R. Sunderland, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Unless lawyers are an unimaginative and hopelessly backward-looking social group, as some unkind critics have asserted, they will find this book one of he most suggestive and stimulating contributions to legal literature that has appeared in recent years. It touches in a broad way the whole field of the relation of legal institutions and the legal profession to the major problems of society. It demonstr4tes in a most striking manner how those who plan and administer the machinery of the law must awake to the fact that they form the front line of civilization's defense against anarchy. And it presents …


Corporations And Express Trusts As Business Organizations, Horace L. Wilgus Jan 1915

Corporations And Express Trusts As Business Organizations, Horace L. Wilgus

Books

The advantages of incorporation have long been recognized and frequently referred to in our law ... Upon the other hand the special advantages of Express Trusts have recently been stated .... It is my purpose to compare these two, -- Corporations and Express Trusts, -- in such detail as my time will permit, to discover, if perchance we may, something of the strength and weakness of each, for business purposes, under present day conditions.
