Statutory Interpretation, Henry N. Williams
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Supreme Court of Tennessee reconsidered several problems in the field of Statutory Interpretation during the Survey period, but its decisions largely followed principles already established in Tennessee and other jurisdictions.
Constitutional Requirements
Certain problems in the field of legislation arise in Tennessee by reason of state constitutional provisions. The Court is committed to the position of interpreting these provisions more or less irrespective of the construction of comparable provisions in other state constitutions.'
The Constitution of the State of Tennessee provides: "No bill shall become a law, which embraces more than one subject; that subject to be expressed in …

Constitutional Law, Paul H. Sanders
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Supreme Court of Tennessee has been faced with few major Constitutional Law problems during the period under consideration. Statistically, the action of the Court in invalidating one law out of almost a score that were attacked before it on the basis of constitutional defect suggests an attitude of judicial restraint toward the product of a coordinate branch of government.

These cases …

The Conflict Of Laws: The Experience Of The Australian Federation, Zelman Cowen
Vanderbilt Law Review
For American lawyers conflict of laws problems arise at two levels. One group of problems appears within the area governed by the Federal Constitution, while others arise within a wider international area. The decision of a New York forum in a case involving Michigan elements may very well differ from that reached by the same forum where the foreign elements involve England or France. The Constitution itself is often responsible for this difference. For example, questions of full faith and credit or of due process may be involved. It is not surprising, therefore, that the question has been posed whether …
