The Rule Of Law In Historical Perspective, W. Burnett Harvey
The Rule Of Law In Historical Perspective, W. Burnett Harvey
Michigan Law Review
Events of the past two decades have made imperative a fundamental re-examination of the basis of government and the legal order. The gross inhumanities of the German and Japanese regimes during the Second World War are fresh in our memories. In many areas of the world today, the force of law is being used for the systematic suppression of claims to freedom and human dignity. The revolutionary ferment of the post-war years has brought into existence new governments with the task of determining their fundamental orientation and the direction of their legal orders.
The Supreme Court And The Rule Of Law, Paul G. Kauper
The Supreme Court And The Rule Of Law, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
I should like to approach this afternoon's subject along two lines. On the one hand, I propose to develop the subject in terms of the Supreme Court's contribution to our understanding of the Rule of Law, and, on the other hand, I propose to look at the Supreme Court as a governmental institution subject to the Rule of Law. In short, I propose to discuss the Supreme Court both as an instrumentality for the development of the American concept of the Rule of Law and as an institution governed by the Rule of Law. Needless to say, these two approaches …
The Executive Department Of Government And The Rule Of Law, Frank E. Cooper
The Executive Department Of Government And The Rule Of Law, Frank E. Cooper
Michigan Law Review
For a long time, people have been talking about the executive department of government and the Rule of Law. Indeed, the suggestion of Aristotle that government should be by law, and not by men, represented a protest directed to the earlier Grecian systems of despotically controlled administrative law. It is my privilege this afternoon to carry forward the discussion of a problem that has been talked about for some two thousand years: how to apply the Rule of Law to the executive agencies of the government. They are commonly called "independent agencies" within the executive branch. I suggest that the …

Post-War Thinking About The Rule Of Law, Charles W. Joiner
Michigan Law Review
The seven papers that follow are the words and thoughts of the Michigan Law School faculty members who delivered the lectures in this series. Each paper was written for oral presentation and was spoken to an audience. The reaction of those attending the lectures was so favorable that arrangements were made for their publication. In the audience at the time these papers were given were lawyers from many parts of the United States and many foreign countries.
The Rule Of Law And The Judicial Process, Luke K. Cooperrider
The Rule Of Law And The Judicial Process, Luke K. Cooperrider
Michigan Law Review
An anecdote which I believe I recall from one of Professor Brogan's ·writings concerns a conversation between the archbishop and the chief justice about the relative importance of their respective powers. After the conversation had continued for some time the archbishop sought to administer the coup de grâce. "I have the advantage of you, your lordship, because you see, in the long run, the most you can say to a man is, 'You shall be hanged!' whereas it is within the functions of my office to say, 'You shall be damned!' " To this, after a moment of thought, …
The International Rule Of Law, William W. Bishop
The International Rule Of Law, William W. Bishop
Michigan Law Review
In contrast with the previous lectures in this series on the Rule of Law, we are today not concerned with how the Rule of Law operates in a highly organized modem state like our own United States; but are turning instead to the world-wide community (or perhaps more properly international arena or international sphere of action, since the very word "community" may over-emphasize the degree of common sentiment!), in which the present role of the law is far less than within the state. Our first question is whether there is in fact any such thing as an international Rule of …
The Legislative Process And The Rule Of Law: Attempts To Legislate Taste In Moral And Political Beliefs, Samuel D. Estep
The Legislative Process And The Rule Of Law: Attempts To Legislate Taste In Moral And Political Beliefs, Samuel D. Estep
Michigan Law Review
In a nutshell, the topic of this paper is "Comstockery and the Bowdlerizing of Ideas." The thesis here asserted is that the Rule of Law is violated when legislatures succumb to modern attempts by the often pathologically-motivated zealot legally to freeze current tastes in moral and political beliefs. The relationship between taste statutes and the seemingly esoteric topic, "The Legislative Process and the Rule of Law," is based on the premise that the maximum possible degree of intellectual freedom for each individual is an essential ingredient in the legal system of a civilized society.
The Challenge Of The Rule Of Law, W. Burnett Harvey
The Challenge Of The Rule Of Law, W. Burnett Harvey
Michigan Law Review
The lecture last week considered the Rule of Law concept in historical perspective. Aside from its possible, highly restricted connotation of public order maintained by the force of politically organized society, three basic meanings or emphases were identified in discussions of the Rule of Law: first, certain constitutional principles, particularly those ascribed by Dicey to 19th-century Britain; second, certain valuable procedural safeguards of a fair trial; and third, those asserted universal and perhaps immutable principles, derived from God or Nature by the rational faculties of man, available to guide and, in some views, to invalidate positive legal action. Without denying …
