The Standard Of Proof In Juvenile Proceedings: Gault Beyond A Reasonable Doubt, James Hillson Cohen

Michigan Law Review

Some of those who have studied the question of the appropriate standard of proof in juvenile proceedings have determined that the "preponderance of the evidence" standard-the standard applied in civil cases-is sufficient, and that the criminal standard should not be applied in such cases. Others have suggested that the standard-of proof question is unimportant since the particular standard which is required will seldom, if ever, make a difference to the outcome of a case. The first of these views is the subject to which the bulk of this Article is addressed; the second can be rebutted by the observation that …

Nonstatutory Review Of Federal Administrative Action: The Need For Statutory Reform Of Sovereign Immunity, Subject Matter Jurisdiction, And Parties Defendant, Roger C. Cramton

Michigan Law Review

The purpose of this Article is to generate support for three legislative proposals that will rectify the problems exemplified by the Gnotta case and hosts of other cases: (1) The elimination of the doctrine of sovereign immunity as a barrier to judicial review of federal administrative action; (2) a modest expansion of the subject matter jurisdiction of United States district courts to accommodate such review and, in addition, to provide a remedy against the United States for the resolution of property disputes; and (3) the total elimination of the remaining technicalities concerning the identification, naming, capacity, and joinder of parties …

The Social Control Of Science And Technology, Michael S. Baram

Faculty Scholarship

Science and technology increasingly work changes in the complex matrix of society. These changes pervade our ecological systems and our physical and psychic health. Less perceptibly, they pervade our culture, our values, and our value based institutions such as the law. In turn, our values and institutions shape the progress and utilization of science and technology.

As we know, science and technology have provided society with enormous material benefits and a higher standard of living and health. But we now realize that this process has been accompanied by alarming rates of resource consumption and many new hazards to ecological systems …

The Machinery Of Criminal Justice In England And The United States, William Burns Lawless

Journal Articles

This article will lay side by side the major structures of the English and American criminal law procedures and will attempt to draw some conclusions helpful to strengthening American technique. Such a comparison is relevant at this time because of the mounting concern of the American people with the problem of crime and the particular feeling that, in some mysterious way, our courts or the men who man them have not properly responded to the cruel waves of lawlessness which engulf us. In other quarters, there is a feeling that the police are either inept or inadequate to the challenge …

Comparative Judicial Behavior (Book Review), Donald P. Kommers

Journal Articles

This book consists of several cross-cultural and exploratory studies of judicial decision-making, and is one of the first to appear in the developing field of comparative judicial politics. A product of many months of collaboration between American and Asian scholars at the East-West Center, University of Hawaii, it deals chiefly with decision-making processes in the high courts of Japan, Hawaii, India, Canada, Australia, and the Philippines. The Asian contributors are mainly law teachers with a strong interest in the sociology of law; the American scholars are mainly teachers of political science whose special interest is the study of judicial behavior. …

Foreword, Charles E. Rice, Robert E. Rodes

Journal Articles

During the past several years the NATURAL LAW FORUM has achieved a distinctive and honored place among legal and philosophical journals. This has primarily been due to the diligent efforts of the board of editors under the leadership first of Professor Anton-Hermann Chroust and more recently Professor John Noonan as editors and of Professor Andrew T. Smithberger as managing editor. This degree of excellence was continued with the first issue of the FORUM under its new name of THE AMERICAN JOURNAL OF JURISPRUDENCE.

With the resignation of Professor Noonan the Board of Editors has appointed us co-editors of THE AMERICAN …

Experience-Based Teaching Methods In Legal Counseling, Thomas L. Shaffer, Robert T. Grismer

Journal Articles

Lawyers spend more time in their offices, in person-to-person encounters counseling troubled individuals, than in any other single area. The alternative to this is litigation, an expensive, inefficient, dis-functional process. Lawyers are counselors, in the most Sartrean sense of the word; whether they intend to be or not.

The presence of the counseling element in most of what lawyers do is subtle, which is probably why we have tended to overlook it. "The more we transform our ways of walking and talking, the better professional people we're going to be," one of our students said, ". . . better able …

The Organized Crime Act (S. 30) Or Its Critics: Which Threatens Civil Liberties, John L. Mcclellan, G. Robert Blakey

Journal Articles

On January 23, 1970, the Senate passed by the overwhelming vote of 73 to 1, S. 30, the Organized Crime Control Act of 1969. During the debate in the Senate, S. 30 was subjected to indiscriminate charges that it would, in the words of the American Civil Liberties Union, "make drastic incursions on civil liberties" and that it ran "counter to the letter and spirit of the Constitution."

Certain newspaper commentators and a prominent mayor have echoed those charges, and recently a report critical of several key titles of S. 30 was published by the Committee on Federal Legislation of …
