The European Community And The Requirement Of A Republican Form Of Government, Jochen Abr. Frowein
The European Community And The Requirement Of A Republican Form Of Government, Jochen Abr. Frowein
Michigan Law Review
The European Community - that is, the factual entity composed of three legally separate communities which has been and still is one of the basic concerns of Eric Stein - cannot be understood without taking into account European history after 1933. As an irony of history, the stage for a new beginning was set by the man who destroyed the old Europe and who was the reason that so many academics left the "old country" for the new world. This new start was not only influenced by the determination of those Europeans who had lived through the darkness to overcome …
The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities And Governance In An Economic Crisis, J. Mertens De Wilmars, J. Steenbergen
The Court Of Justice Of The European Communities And Governance In An Economic Crisis, J. Mertens De Wilmars, J. Steenbergen
Michigan Law Review
An economic crisis with the dimensions of the one raging in the world today confronts the judiciary - as well as business undertakings, parliaments and governments, workers, their trade unions and other organizations - with new responsibilities. New areas of law suddenly come to the forefront and even those matters which would appear to be the most firmly settled call for a critical reexamination. Such rethinking may maintain what might otherwise be swept away, or improve what deserves to be changed by way of judicial decisions, or demonstrate that legislative action is both necessary and urgent.
Toward Supremacy Of Treaty-Constitution By Judicial Fiat: On The Margin Of The Case, Eric Stein
Toward Supremacy Of Treaty-Constitution By Judicial Fiat: On The Margin Of The Case, Eric Stein
Michigan Law Review
Increased interdependence of states in modem times has shaken the nineteenth century doctrines of extreme dualism and positivism. These doctrines would build an impenetrable wall between the international and national legal orders; they would elevate the state to the position of exclusive actor and deny the individual any standing in the international legal order; and, in the interpretation of a rule of law, they would exclude any regard for the political, economic, and social context in which the rule is applied.

Grzybowski: Soviet Legal Institutions: Doctrines And Social Functions, Isaac Shapiro

The Constitutions Of West Germany And The United States: A Comparative Study, Paul G. Kauper
The Constitutions Of West Germany And The United States: A Comparative Study, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is to present a descriptive overall picture of the fundamental features of the system established by the Basic Law and at the same time point up significant comparisons and contrasts by reference to the Constitution. Eleven years have now elapsed since the Basic Law went into effect, and significant decisions of the Federal Constitutional Court (Bundesverfassungsgericht ) noted at the appropriate points, serve to illuminate the working of the system established by it.
Guided Tour In A Civil Law Library: Sources And Basic Legal Materials In French Civil And Commercial Law, G. M. Razi
Guided Tour In A Civil Law Library: Sources And Basic Legal Materials In French Civil And Commercial Law, G. M. Razi
Michigan Law Review
Lawyers everywhere rely upon their books with eagerness and confidence. The larger their libraries, the better equipped they feel to answer the questions of their clients. The composition of an average library differs somewhat in France and in the United States. In this country the law reports, in their familiar, substantial and elegant bindings, are displayed on the prominent shelves, while in Europe, the law reports-often merely paper bound-are relegated to some corner. The front place is reserved for the leather bindings and the gilt letters of the treatises bearing the names of outstanding authors in the various fields of …
Estoppel And Crown Privilege In English Administrative Law, Bernard Schwartz
Estoppel And Crown Privilege In English Administrative Law, Bernard Schwartz
Michigan Law Review
Perhaps the most anachronistic doctrine in Anglo-American public law is that of sovereign immunity. Under it, the State is placed in a privileged position of immunity from the principles of law which are binding upon the ordinary citizen, unless it expressly consents to be bound by such principles. In Anglo-American law the infallibility attributed to the King in the days when he was personally sovereign has been more recently recognized in the State, which the Crown now merely personifies. Thus, even today, and even in the American democracy, the basic principle of public law is that the King can do …

The Wills Branch Of The Worthier Title Doctrine, Joseph W. Morris
Michigan Law Review

Political Crimes Defined, Theodore Schroeder
Political Crimes Defined, Theodore Schroeder
Michigan Law Review
Continental Europe is in the midst of revolutions. The immediate antecedents are such as to suggest the probable accompaniment of more widespread and perhaps even more intense passions of various sort, than have ever before been brought into being with a revolution. This in turn suggests the likelihood that there will follow more political plots and counter-revolutions than is usual in such cases. From such causes it is highly probable that the juridical meaning of the statutory words "an offense of a political character" will be a matter of frequent controversy, as successive crops of exiles claim the right of …
