Forcing Protection On Children And Their Parents: The Impact Of Wyman V. James, Robert A. Burt

Michigan Law Review

This Article will focus on one of the concerns implicated in Wyman: the government's power to force assistance for the protection of children, when they or their parents are unwilling to accept that assistance. The state's protective purposes in insisting that Mrs. James accept its assistance or suffer serious loss of benefits played an important role in the Wyman decision. Only a few years ago, in In re Gault, the Court refused to defer to a state's similarly beneficent motives when it was asked to withhold the imposition of procedural safeguards in juvenile delinquency proceedings. Wyman does not …

Constitutional Law--Double Jeopardy--Collateral Estoppel Is Constitutionally Required In Criminal Cases Because It Is Embodied In The Fifth Amendment Double Jeopardy Clause--Ashe V. Swenson, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

It is, therefore, important in any analysis of the Ashe decision to examine the policies and purposes behind collateral estoppel and double jeopardy and the current effectiveness of the two doctrines in light of these policies and purposes. The policies of the double jeopardy guarantee are well defined in the federal cases. Basically, it is recognized that the state, having at hand many more resources than the average defendant can muster, should not be allowed to make successive attempts to convict an individual for an alleged offense. Successive prosecutions cause the defendant expense and embarrassment and force him to live …

Judicial Conservatives And Supreme Court, Ronald R. Davenport

Duquesne Law Review

I was given the title "Judicial Conservatives and the Supreme Court." I think that is a rather appropriate title in that we must draw a distinction between judicial conservatives and the Supreme Court, judicial conservatives on the Supreme Court, and conservatives on the Supreme Court. DeToqueville said that every question in the United States sooner or later is framed as a legal question and comes before the Supreme Court. I think that speaks something of the Court's power and its influence in our society. Frankfurter has said that the Supreme Court's power is neither of the purse nor of the …

Campus Pamphleteering: The Emerging Constitutional Standards, Morton M. Rosenfeld

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Beginning with Lovell v. City of Griffin, the Supreme Court has consistently held the distribution of handbills to be a fundamental right under the first amendment. Since Lovell, the Court has liberally construed the concept of a public forum where first amendment rights can be properly exercised. More recently, the Court has held that schools cannot arbitrarily or absolutely regulate students' constitutional rights of expression. These three principles would suggest great protection for handbilling rights on state university campuses. A further analysis of case law indicates that broad free speech standards governing such rights exist and that the …
