All Articles

Cleveland Press editorial states that "If Sheppard gets a lie detector test every other prisoner in the Ohio Penitentiary who asks for it should get one too.

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Nonprofit Corporation Statutes: A Critique And Proposal, Ralph E. Boyer

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The nonprofit corporation has become an important factor in the social and economic life of the American people. The American predisposition to organization and affiliation has led to an enormous number of such organizations, which in itself is a significant factor.

In spite of these factors, however, these organizations have largely escaped the serious study and academic analysis so generously bestowed upon the regular business corporation. This study is directed at an analysis of the legal framework within which such organizations operate. Its aim …
