Civil Liberties In The 1980s. Remarks Of Norman Dorsen, Norman Dorsen
Civil Liberties In The 1980s. Remarks Of Norman Dorsen, Norman Dorsen
Antioch Law Journal
I have been asked to present an overview of the incursions on civil liberty that we may expect in the 1980s and how we may combat them. It is always risky to predict the future, especially in a field as volatile as this. Nevertheless, at least one thing is clear. Civil liberties during the coming decade will be subject to great pressures. This is true whether the government remains conservative, such as the present Reagan Administration, or changes after the 1984 or 1988 elections. The reason for my confidence in this assertion is that governments, whatever their political complexion, seek …
Civil Rights In The 1980s, Nathaniel R. Jones
Civil Rights In The 1980s, Nathaniel R. Jones
Antioch Law Journal
have been asked for my views on the civil rights agenda for the 1980s. Such an agenda cannot be proposed in a vacuum, for the roots of current civil rights problems extend deep into the nation's history. In fact, public acceptance of civil rights remedies has been impeded precisely because their historical predicates are so little understood. While the civil rights thrust has broadened to include gender, ethnic, and age considerations, the basic problems in shaping remedies continue to center around race and the nation's treatment of racial groups. This fact confounds those who had come to believe that problems …

Judicial Responses To The Eeoc's Failure To Attempt Conciliation, Michigan Law Review
Judicial Responses To The Eeoc's Failure To Attempt Conciliation, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note suggests that a court faced with inadequate conciliation efforts by the EEOC should dismiss the action without prejudice. Part I argues that dismissal better serves the remedial purpose of the statute than summary judgment. Part II then demonstrates that dismissal satisfies the policy concerns of courts that dispose of inadequately conciliated suits. Although dismissal may not promote judicial efficiency as well as summary judgment, courts and the Commission can handle the dismissal to minimize duplication. Part III advances dismissal for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted as the appropriate procedural vehicle for disposing …
In Quest Of Brown's Promise: Social Research And Social Values In School Desegregation, Wallace D. Loh
In Quest Of Brown's Promise: Social Research And Social Values In School Desegregation, Wallace D. Loh
Washington Law Review
There is perhaps no better setting in which to discuss the role of social research in the courts than that of school desegregation. From its early, rural, southern beginnings in Brown to its present, urban, northern manifestation in the Detroit case of Milliken v. Bradley, empirical evidence has been used in the litigation. In 1954, the Supreme Court declared that "[s]eparate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and ruled that the separate-but-equal doctrine of Plessy v. Ferguson—which for half a century had legitimated Jim Crow legislation—had "no place" in the public schools. Eleanor Wolf, Professor of Sociology at Wayne State University, …

A Proposed Analysis For Gender-Based Practices And State Public Accommodations Laws, Alan J. Hoff
A Proposed Analysis For Gender-Based Practices And State Public Accommodations Laws, Alan J. Hoff
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note argues that the proper test of gender-preferential practices in public accommodations proceeds from the principle of "equal treatment:'' separate standards are tolerable only where reasonable and applied evenhandedly. Part I sets out a typical public accommodations statute and criticizes the principle tests used to evaluate this type of legislation. Part II applies traditional methods of statutory construction which trigger an equal treatment analysis. Extrapolating from this analysis, Part III advocates a two-part test for examining gender-based practices in public accommodations.

Book Review: Unlikely Heroes By Jack Bass, David B. Filvaroff
Book Review: Unlikely Heroes By Jack Bass, David B. Filvaroff
Vanderbilt Law Review
Unlikely Heroes is designed for both the lawyer and the general reader. It does not purport to offer careful legal analysis of constitutional doctrine or to measure the Fifth Circuit's actions during this era against any articulated concept of the proper role of the judiciary in a federal system. To the extent that Bass raises any questions about the propriety of the judges' conduct or decisions, he appears to conclude that they were fully justified by the nature of the issues presented and by the demands of the times.Whatever its intended audience, however, the book would have benefited from a …

Intracorporate Plurality In Criminal Conspiracy Law, Sarah N. Welling
Intracorporate Plurality In Criminal Conspiracy Law, Sarah N. Welling
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The concept of conspiracy currently plays a significant role in three areas of substantive law: antitrust, civil rights, and criminal law. Although the role of conspiracy in these substantive areas of law differs in many ways, all three require that the conspiracy consist of a plurality of actors. Determining what constitutes a plurality of actors when all the alleged conspirators are agents of a single corporation poses a continuing problem.
This problem raises two distinct questions. The first is whether, when one agent acts alone within the scope of corporate business, the agent and the corporation constitute a plurality. The …
In Defense Of Public Defenders: Polk County V. Dodson, Jeffrey C. Gilbert
In Defense Of Public Defenders: Polk County V. Dodson, Jeffrey C. Gilbert
University of Miami Law Review
In Polk County v. Dodson, the United States Supreme Court held that a public defender does not act under color of state law "when performing a lawyer's 'traditional functions' as counsel to a defendant in a criminal proceeding." The Court formulated a "functions" test to distinguish cases holding that public defenders act under color of state law when performing administrative tasks or when engaging in nontraditional or criminal acts. The author questions the Court's marked curtailment of indigents' access to federal courts when alleging ineffective representation by public defenders under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Moreover, the author concludes that …

Intent Or Impact: Proving Discrimination Under Title Vi Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964, Michigan Law Review
Intent Or Impact: Proving Discrimination Under Title Vi Of The Civil Rights Act Of 1964, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note analyzes the controversy and concludes that courts must apply an impact standard in title VI cases. After reviewing the relevant Supreme Court decisions, Part I contends that Bakke did not overrule Lau's approval of an impact standard. Part II examines the regulations on which the Lau court relied. It first characterizes them as legislative; they derive the force of law from an explicit congressional delegation of substantive power. Part II then tests the regulations' impact standard against the language, legislative history, and policy of title VI and finds it valid. Since courts may not disregard valid legislative regulations, …
