A Survey Of Legal Issues Arising From The Deployment Of Autonomous And Connected Vehicles, Daniel A. Crane, Kyle D. Logue, Bryce C. Pilz
Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review
With concerns rising over the number and variety of state regulations, companies are increasingly looking to the federal government for guidance. Representatives from Google, GM, Lyft, and Delphi testified before Congress on March 15, urging Congress to pass a federal law concerning autonomous vehicles. While the passage of any federal legislation is unclear at this time, other parts of the federal government have been extremely active in recent months. In January 2016, the Obama administration proposed a 10-year, $4 billion investment in autonomous vehicle technology. In that same announcement, the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) committed to developing model state policy …
The Uneasy Case For The Retirement Of Douglas Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn
The Uneasy Case For The Retirement Of Douglas Kahn, Jeffrey H. Kahn
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
In the fall semester of 1964, a young Douglas Kahn joined the faculty of the University of Michigan Law School. During the spring semester of 2016, he will teach his final course as a full-time faculty member. For the interim fifty two years, he has been a fixture of the Michigan law school community. As a tax professor, former student, and his son, I am pleased and honored to write this introduction for an edition of the Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review honoring Professor Kahn’s tenure at the University of Michigan.
Doug Kahn: The Pied Piper Of Tax Law, Barrie Lawson Loeks, Burt P. Rosen
Doug Kahn: The Pied Piper Of Tax Law, Barrie Lawson Loeks, Burt P. Rosen
Michigan Business & Entrepreneurial Law Review
Doug Kahn’s love of tax law appears to be contagious. His wife was a tax lawyer, his son is now a tax law professor, and even his daughter in law is a tax lawyer. Doug may have caught the “tax disease” from his elder brother, who was also a leading tax lawyer. In politics, we have the Kennedys, the Bushes, and the Clintons; in the world of tax law, we have the Kahn family dynasty. One can only assume that the discussions around the family Thanksgiving table sliced and diced tax regulations and policies right along with the turkey and …

Foreword: Reflections On Our Founding, Guy-Uriel Charles, Luis Fuentes-Rohwer
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Law Journals have been under heavy criticism for as long as we can remember. The criticisms come from all quarters, including judges, law professors, and even commentators at large. In an address at the Fourth Circuit Judicial Conference almost a decade ago, for example, Chief Justice Roberts complained about the “disconnect between the academy and the profession.” More pointedly, he continued, “[p]ick up a copy of any law review that you see, and the first article is likely to be, you know, the influence of Immanuel Kant on evidentiary approaches in 18th Century Bulgaria, or something, which I’m sure was …
Educative Friendship - A Personal Note, Jeanne Gaakeer
Educative Friendship - A Personal Note, Jeanne Gaakeer
Michigan Law Review
In 1992, when I started my doctorate research in the interdisciplinary field of Law and Literature, The Legal Imagination was one of the first books I read. To European eyes, it was a most unusual book since in continental legal theory in those days, the Anglo-analytical tradition was predominant, and French deconstruction had for some time been the up-and coming stream. Fascinated as I became with Professor White's works, I decided to try to get in contact with him in order to ask him about the genesis of his ideas. So much for the dangers of the intentional fallacy Whimsatt …
The Imagination Of James Boyd White, Lee C. Bollinger
The Imagination Of James Boyd White, Lee C. Bollinger
Michigan Law Review
For several decades, James Boyd White has been a unique voice in the law. It is a voice of extraordinary intellectual range, of erudition and of deep commitment to a life of self-understanding and of humane values. His point of access is language - all language, in every context. Armed y a lifetime of thought about words, he justifiably has regarded no field or discipline or communicative activity as foreign and outside his ken. Whoever reads him must feel his sense of intellectual empowerment that our world, sectioned as it is by expertise, would deny us.
Speech, Silence, And Ethical Lives In The Law, Robin West
Speech, Silence, And Ethical Lives In The Law, Robin West
Michigan Law Review
As his many appreciative readers know, James Boyd White brought his learning to bear on the relation between ethical living and ethical speaking, and particularly as it pertains to how we live and speak in law. His prodigious writing, teaching, and speaking career, as far as I can tell, was motivated by a singular, passionate belief: that the human capacity for language can and should serve as a bridge from mind to mind and spirit to spirit, so that we might cohabit the earth not only peaceably, but with the pleasures and grace of each other's company. Language, White taught, …
A Teacher, H. Jefferson Powell
A Teacher, H. Jefferson Powell
Michigan Law Review
James Boyd White is, above all, a teacher. Of course, that is in fact an inexact statement: Jim White is many things, some of them of greater or more central human importance - husband, father, friend, person of faith. But in this essay my concern is with Jim as an academic, and in that context I believe the title teacher captures best his goals and his achievement.
Interview With James Boyd White, James Boyd White
Interview With James Boyd White, James Boyd White
Michigan Law Review
The occasion of the following interview was the Montesquieu Lecture at the University of Tilburg, which Professor James Boyd White delivered in February 2006. In the lecture, entitled "When Language Meets the Mind," Professor White discussed the manner of interpreting and criticizing texts, both in the law and in other fields, that he has worked out over his career. The heart of this method, as described in the lecture, is to direct attention to three sets of questions: - What is the language in which this text is written, and the culture of which it is a part? How are …
Tribute To Yale Kamisar, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Tribute To Yale Kamisar, Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Michigan Law Review
When the editors of this issue told me of Professor Yale Kamisar's decision to retire from full-time teaching after a near half century of law faculty service, two thoughts came immediately to mind. First, I thought of the large loss to Michigan students unable to attend his classes and to faculty colleagues at Ann Arbor unable routinely to engage his bright mind. Second, I thought it altogether right for the Michigan Law Review to publish an issue honoring one of the Law School's most prized professors. When invited to write a tribute, I could not resist saying yes.

Eye On The World, Jose E. Alvarez, Virginia A. Gordon
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
In a special section coinciding with the International Reunion of Law School graduates, Law School graduates who are deeply involved in the globalization of legal practice respond to the question, "If you could leap ahead 10 years, how do you think what you are doing now will change?" And in a thought-provoking prologue, Professor of Law Jose Alvarez and Assistant Dean for International Programs Virginia A. Gordan consider the historical - and historic - impact of Law School graduates from overseas on the legal profession.

The Clinical Law Experiment: Michigan's First Five Years, Steven D. Pepe
The Clinical Law Experiment: Michigan's First Five Years, Steven D. Pepe
Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)
Many Michigan law alumni continue to inquire about the Clinical Law Program, now entering its fifth year of fulltime operation. Prof. Al Conard's "Letter from the Law Clinic" in the fall, 1973, Law Quadrangle Notes gave a perceptive and entertaining glimpse into some of the case situations at the clinic and the types of learning in which clinic students are engaged. This article will sketch the development and operation of our clinical experiment in legal education. A future article will explore the goals, methodology, and problems of clinical legal education. A third and final article will focus on a particular …
A Prospectus For Reform, Francis A. Allen
A Prospectus For Reform, Francis A. Allen
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The interests of this journal are not focused narrowly on any particular areas of law reform. It will be concerned with issues relating to the improvement of both private law and public law, judicial administration, law enforcement, administrative regulation, and much more. In short, it seeks to promote the improvement of law and its administration in all areas in which needs are disclosed and in which useful proposals can be advanced. No doubt, many of the problems to be discussed will be those with an important local impact. One of the interesting developments of our times is the degree to …
Thirty Years Of Legal Education, Allan F. Smith
Thirty Years Of Legal Education, Allan F. Smith
Michigan Law Review
A generation of law students has moved through the University of Michigan Law Quadrangle since its dedication on June 13, 1934. The prophecy quoted above has been fulfilled, although the process of its fulfillment has not ended and will not end, for the process of law is indeed "an endless 'becoming.' " Despite the difficulties of carving segments from that which is essentially continuous and unbroken, it seems appropriate to pause at this thirtieth anniversary of the Quadrangle and to observe the segment of time which separates the dedication and the present day.

Edson R. Sunderland And The Teaching Of Procedure, Charles H. King
Michigan Law Review
Once having arrived at the University of Michigan Law School, Edson Sunderland never left, except on a temporary basis. He entered the school in 1898, having previously received his Bachelor's and Master's degrees from the University's College of Literature, Science and the Arts. Immediately upon his graduation in 1901 he was invited to become a member of the faculty, an invitation which he accepted effective the following fall.

Edson R. Sunderland's Contribution To The Reform Of Civil Procedure In Illinois, George Ragland Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Illinois is greatly indebted to Edson R. Sunderland for the effective and enduring contributions which he made to the Civil Practice Act of 1933. That reform was encouraged in no small degree by his speeches and writings. He served as its principal draftsman. His suggestions were of much assistance to the bench and bar of the state in modifying and implementing the original draft so that the measure could be successfully put into operation. Regulation of details of practice by rules of court, which was a primary feature of Professor Sunderland's draft and one which he helped defend against attack, …

Edson Sunderland And The Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure, Charles E. Clark
Michigan Law Review
It was my privilege to be associated with Edson Sunderland for many years in a major endeavor for the improvement of law administration, namely, the framing of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In this association I came to know what a rare spirit he was, how devoted to the public service he had undertaken, and yet withal how gay and charming a friend and co-worker he always showed himself. In the roster of American workers for better justice he stands preeminent for the length, the original character, and the unique persistence of his labors. But this wholehearted idealism in …
