International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman
International Control Of The Safety Of Nuclear-Powered Merchant Ships, William H. Berman, Lee M. Hydeman
Michigan Law Review
In recent years we have witnessed the transition of nuclear-powered ships from an imaginative dream to an engineering reality. This vast step from the drawing board to successful operation on the high-seas has taken place in a remarkably short span of time. Nevertheless, in the :flush of enthusiasm over the technological achievement, we must not lose sight of the fact that the promise of nuclear power for the propulsion of ships will not have been fulfilled until nuclear vessels are operating safely and economically over the maritime trade routes of the world. It would be unrealistic to assume that further …
Radiation Injuries And Statistics: The Need For A New Approach To Injury Litigation, Samuel D. Estep
Radiation Injuries And Statistics: The Need For A New Approach To Injury Litigation, Samuel D. Estep
Michigan Law Review
The emphasis given by the mass media of communication to some of the dramatic problems arising from the use of nuclear energy unfortunately has diverted attention from some of the matters about which something can be done by lawyers, administrators, and legislators without the necessity of complicated international negotiations between various parties to the "Cold War." The headlines leave the uninformed, and perhaps often also the informed, public with the impression that even for radiation injuries the important problems all deal with such questions as: (1) Will only a few or many millions of people survive an all-out nuclear war? …
The Legal Philosophy Of Morris R. Cohen, Huntington Cairns
The Legal Philosophy Of Morris R. Cohen, Huntington Cairns
Vanderbilt Law Review
Cohen died in 1947 with five of the numerous books he had planned published. Since that time others have appeared. If he did not live to finish his life's work, he accomplished more than is given to most scholars who teach and participate in the numerous public activities that marked his career. Cohen was not a hopeful man and he would not be attracted by the thought, he once said in conversation, of living life over again--particularly, he added after a pause, if he had to teach mathematics to college students. He was disturbed above everything else by the decline …
American Legal Realism In Retrospect, Hessel E. Yntema
American Legal Realism In Retrospect, Hessel E. Yntema
Vanderbilt Law Review
The ultimate question posed by the realistic movement in American jurisprudence is whether the practical conception of legal study and instruction as projected by legal realism, is really practical. There are two considerations among others which suggest that it is not, whether for training or research. The first is that the volume of existent law of any modern industrialized state is too vast and complicated for the human mind to master in all its technical detail and specialization during the brief time allotted. The second is that, even if this were possible, since the legal materials of the time and …

Organzied Scientific Research And Intellectual Property, Rathuel L. Mccollum
Cleveland State Law Review
Organized research and planned invention by highly trained specialists are now fundamental parts of the American scene. Invention-to-order has become "big business" with all of its ramifications. The purpose of this article is to analyze some of the legal problems associated with inventions and patents that come into being as a result of scientific research.
