A Tax Formula To Restore The Historical Effects Of The Antitrust Treble Damage Provisions (An Open Letter To The Senate Antitrust And Monopoly Committee), L. Hart Wright
Michigan Law Review
Following the well-publicized criminal conviction of a major segment of our electrical equipment industry for conspiring to fix and maintain prices, terms, and conditions of sales made to both private industry and the government, almost 2,000 private antitrust treble damage suits were brought against those convicted. In July, 1964, when at least 1,500 of these suits were still pending, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue publicly announced that amounts paid or "incurred" by the defendants in those actions to private plaintiffs, either pursuant to judgment or by way of settlement, together with legal expenses pertaining thereto, were deductible as ordinary and …
Can Federal Legislation Affecting Consumers' Economic Interests Be Enacted?, Philip A. Hart
Can Federal Legislation Affecting Consumers' Economic Interests Be Enacted?, Philip A. Hart
Michigan Law Review
Assume there is a definite need for legislation which centers on the economic-not the health or safety-interests of consumers. Can such a bill be enacted? If history, as Francis Bacon claims, does indeed "make a man wise," then a wise man would not even advocate such a bill, no matter how persuasive the evidence. Although government exists to protect the public interest, a look at history shows that the public--or the consumer-generally has not fared as well as many other special interests.
Federal Trade Commission Regulation Of Advertising, Earl W. Kintner
Federal Trade Commission Regulation Of Advertising, Earl W. Kintner
Michigan Law Review
The success of an economic democracy, no less than that of a political democracy, depends upon informed, intelligent choice. Thus, the widespread dissemination of information with respect to alternatives is imperative; otherwise, choices would be made in a vacuum and would become meaningless, if not plainly capricious. However, there is no paucity of information in our contemporary society; the so-called "mass media" ensure that. Indeed, modern man can hardly escape, even if he should so desire, the constant bombardment of information from television, radio, newspapers, billboards, and other sources.
Extraterritorial Application Of Penal Legislation, B. J. George Jr.
Extraterritorial Application Of Penal Legislation, B. J. George Jr.
Michigan Law Review
One of the most difficult words in the legal lexicon to delineate is the term "jurisdiction"; it is equally difficult to relate this term to the concept of "venue." The term "jurisdiction" is constantly invoked by courts in a variety of contexts, some relating to geography, some to governmental and judicial structure, some to legislative or judicial power, some to persons, and some to procedures. Thus, it is difficult to discern a common thread of meaning or a consistent pattern of application from the cases in which the word appears.

The Problem Of Communications In Meeting The Information Requirements Of The Courts, Layman Allen
The Problem Of Communications In Meeting The Information Requirements Of The Courts, Layman Allen
Book Chapters
My remarks are addressed to one aspect of the general problem of communication involved in meeting the information requirements of the courts. It transcends merely the court; however, it is a problem throughout the legal decision-making system. The efficiency of t:ourts in processing information is just one part of a larger picture of effective communication within the legal system. Phrased broadly, the question involves discerning the optimum man-machine mix in the processing of information. Nobody can reasonably quarrel with the goal of taking the fullest possible advantage of the benefits of emerging technology, as long as objectives of greater importance …
