Annual Survey Of Tennessee Law, E. Blythe Stason

Vanderbilt Law Review

In preparing the Survey of Administrative Law for 1964, we find only eleven cases upon which to comment. Seven of them arise from a single field of administrative action, i.e., the work of County Beer Boards. One is a zoning variation case, another involves a realtor's license revocation, and the other two are lower federal court cases decided in Tennessee, one relating to social security, and the other to an interpretation of the abandonment provisions of the Interstate Commerce Act. Compared with many other states this is a modest showing. Indeed, when one takes account of the number of boards …

Salmon P. Chase: Chief Justice, David F. Hughes

Vanderbilt Law Review

Justice William 0. Douglas And The Concept Of A "Fair Trial", Helen S. Thomas

Vanderbilt Law Review

This article seeks briefly to demonstrate the ways in which this basic commitment of Justice Douglas bear on particular constitutional issues, particularly with regard to criminal cases. The article treats these issues under five general headings: detention; the right to counsel; bail; the right to trial by jury; and trial procedures. Some overlapping between sections cannot be avoided; but it is hoped that this organization will bring the problems more sharply into focus.
