Michigan Law Review
Taxpayer received assistance from a labor union while he was participating in a strike called by the union.

Both before and after he joined the union payments were made to taxpayer under this program. Taxpayer sued for a refund of the income tax he payed on the value of the assistance so received, and the jury returned a verdict in his favor, finding the payments …

Civil Rights - Elections - Federal Injunction Against Racial Discrimination, Robert Jillson
Michigan Law Review
In September 1958, in its first complaint under the Civil Rights Act of 1957, the United States sought to enjoin certain election registrars and deputy registrars in Terrell County, Georgia from continuing racially-discriminatory practices in their registration of voters.

Mr. Justice Cardozo, William O. Douglas
Michigan Law Review
I never knew Cardozo intimately. I read most of his opinions and all of his books; and I heard him lecture. My personal association with him, however, was limited. When he came to Washington, D. C., he lived in rather lonely isolation. I visited with him occasionally in his apartment where we talked about trivial, as well as philosophical, things. He was a gentle-almost self-effacing-man. Yet he had a mind with as keen a cutting edge as any I ever knew.

Constitutional Law - Separation Of Church And State - Bible Reading In The Public Schools, Henry B. Pearsall
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs, as parents of children in the public school system, sought to enjoin and have declared unconstitutional the practice of reading aloud to students each day ten verses of the Holy Bible as required by a Pennsylvania statute.

By a three-judge district court, held, for plaintiffs. The statute violated the United States Constitution because the Bible is essentially a religious book and the …
