In Defense Of Certain Provisions Of The Uniform Commercial Code Relating To Formation Of Sales Contracts: A Partial Reply To Professor Babb, Frederick M. Hart Jan 1963

In Defense Of Certain Provisions Of The Uniform Commercial Code Relating To Formation Of Sales Contracts: A Partial Reply To Professor Babb, Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

During the past two years, the former Portland Law Review and the reestablished Maine Law Review have carried articles by Professor Babb commenting on many provisions of the uniform Commercial Code. The adverse tenor of Professor Babb's comments causes some concern lest his views serve as a source of restrictive interpretation in the event that the Code is enacted in Maine. It is unlikely that an alert and careful court, confronted with a problem requiring construction of a Code provision, would reach its decision by following the rationale of decisions overruled or made obsolete by the Code, or that it …

Section 301 And The Primary Jurisdiction Of The Nlrb, Michael I. Sovern Jan 1963

Section 301 And The Primary Jurisdiction Of The Nlrb, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Several labor cases recently decided by the Supreme Court have brought into issue a conflict between the NLRB's primary jurisdiction over matters subject to sections 7 and 8 of the NLRA and the doctrine that courts have jurisdiction to enforce collective agreements. Professor Sovern discusses these cases and argues that the Court properly decided that the principle of exclusive NLRB jurisdiction should yield in suits on collective agreements, but he criticizes the Court for not having articulated a satisfactory rationale in support of this result. After an analysis of the doctrine of preemption, he considers five types of labor-contract suits …

Political Speakers At State Universities: Some Constitutional Considerations, William W. Van Alstyne

Faculty Scholarship

Ten years ago, the New York Times, in a survey of political censorship on major university campuses, concluded that: "a subtle, creeping paralysis of freedom of thought and speech is attacking college campuses . . . limiting both students and faculty in the area traditionally reserved for the free exploration of knowledge and truth."


Contracts (1963), Frederick M. Hart Jan 1963

Contracts (1963), Frederick M. Hart

Faculty Scholarship

§4.1. Introduction. None of the contract cases decided during the 1963 Survey year requires extensive comment. This conclusion probably reflects an approval of the manner in which the Supreme .Judicial Court handled the many issues presented by litigants. In reviewing a year's judicial production, it is easier to get excited about a decision that one disapproves. One trend is worthy of note. From the cases discussed in this and other chapters, it is apparent that the Court is becoming more sophisticated in its understanding and use of the Uniform Commercial Code.
