Representation For The Poor In Federal Rulemaking, Arthur Earl Bonfield Jan 1969

Representation For The Poor In Federal Rulemaking, Arthur Earl Bonfield

Michigan Law Review

The ample personal economic resources and relatively well-financed organizations of middle and upper income Americans usually assure their particular interests adequate representation in federal administrative rulemaking. The norm is that middle and upper income individuals, or their personal or organizational representatives, directly or indirectly monitor all agency activities. These persons attempt to protect their interests through formal or informal participation in rulemaking affecting them.

The Regulation And Administration Of The Welfare Hearing Process – The Need For Administrative Responsibility, Robert E. Scott Jan 1969

The Regulation And Administration Of The Welfare Hearing Process – The Need For Administrative Responsibility, Robert E. Scott

Faculty Scholarship

In recent years, the concept of public welfare has undergone substantial conceptual changes, the primary being a shift from the older concept of gratuity to one of statutory entitlement pursuant to the Social Security Act. This paper seeks to examine and analyze the administrative "fair hearing" as a means of effective regulation of administrative discretion and enforcement of the entitlement provisions of the federal act.

Napoleon fired “grapeshot” into a rioting Parisian crowd in 1795, and while his brutality may have quieted the rioters it should not be set as an example for our modern day police forces.

Judicial Intervention As A Psychiatric Therapy Tool, Eleanor A. Blackley Jan 1966

Judicial Intervention As A Psychiatric Therapy Tool, Eleanor A. Blackley

Cleveland State Law Review

The court psychiatric unit is an early outpost of a preventive, coordinative venture which gives, at long last, practical humane expression to protection of and consideration for the civil rights of the mentally ill adult involuntary patient whose condition obstructs his capacity to demand such safeguards himself. Persons suffering from mental disorders are frequently too disabled to claim their civil rights themselves.
