Federal Courts And The Changing Role Of American Political Parties, Richard A. Brisbin Jr.
Federal Courts And The Changing Role Of American Political Parties, Richard A. Brisbin Jr.
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Although the contention that American political parties have undergone fundamental changes in the past two decades has been intensely studied, one aspect of the transformation of parties has not received much attention. Since 1940 the legal role of parties as governmental institutions or their ad hoc constitutional status has been redirected by federal courts. This essay explores the nature of federal judicial interpretations of the role of parties in American governance. After an introduction to the function of parties in the governmental process, the demands for change in party status are described and the choices of judges in response to …

An Attorney General Of Nova Scotia, J.S.D. Thompson, 1878-1882: Disparate Aspects Of Law And Society In Provincial Canada, P. B. Waite
Dalhousie Law Journal
Historians are apt to be omnivorous animals, and they can be nourished by all kinds of research. This cheerful eclecticism has the disadvantage of being dangerously subject to naivet6, a disposition which greets as discovery what to others is obvious. Lack of legal training might further lead to some crashing legal solecism; certainly the temerity of this adventure resembles that of a celebrated premier of Alberta who, in 1937, took on the portfolio of attorney general-not only without being a lawyer, but without one iota of legal education whatever. Perhaps, since he had once been head of the Calgary Prophetic …

Inverse Liability Of The State Of Wisconsin For A De Facto "Temporary Taking" As A Result Of An Administrative Decision: Zinn V. State, Alemante G. Selassie
Inverse Liability Of The State Of Wisconsin For A De Facto "Temporary Taking" As A Result Of An Administrative Decision: Zinn V. State, Alemante G. Selassie
Faculty Publications
This Note examines Zinn v. State, a Wisconsin Supreme Court decision, which held that plaintiff stated a claim for inverse condemnation against the State of Wisconsin when, as a result of an erroneous quasi-judicial decision by the DNR, plaintiff lost the use of her property for a little longer than a month. This Note takes the position that Zinn represents the growing tendency among courts to enlarge the scope of fact situations in which they will find a taking. Given this tendency, and given that the substantive test in Wisconsin of what constitutes a taking is identical whether a taking …
