Contempt-Conduct Tending To Defeat The Effect Of Appeal Pending In Federal Circuit Court Held To Be Civil Contempt Even Though Not A Resistance To A Formal Court Order- Griffin V. County School Board, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Appellants applied for an injunction in a federal district court in Virginia to prevent the Prince Edward County Board of Supervisors from paying out tuition grants to parents whose children attended private segregated schools. The district court refused to issue the injunction, and the appellants appealed. They asked to have their appeal accelerated, but, since the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit was not then in session, the Chief Judge requested the Clerk of Court to ask the Board of Supervisors to stipulate that no tuition grants would be paid pending the appeal. The Board refused to make the …

Constitutional Law-Exclusion Of Negroes From Dental Society That Controls Selection Of State Dental Officials Violates The Equal Protection Clause-Hawkins V. North Carolina Dental Society, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a licensed Negro dentist, was refused admission to the North Carolina Dental Society, a voluntary professional organization that plays a significant role both in the selecting of state dental officials and in the promotion of state dental programs. At the time the plaintiff sought admission to the Society, state statutes empowered the Society to elect the six members of the North Carolina Board of Dental Examiners and to designate the dental representatives to the Medical Care Commission and the Mental Health Council. After the plaintiff brought suit to compel his admission to the Society, the Society persuaded the state …

Equal Protection For The Illegitimate, Harry D. Krause

Michigan Law Review

In our time the general constitutional phrase promising equal protection has become specific law. It has been used to invalidate many state statutes which discriminated on the basis of race or other arbitrary criteria. Definite rules have been developed for this process of invalidation. These rules will be applied below to state and federal legislation that favors the legitimate child and discriminates against the illegitimate in matters of inheritance rights, rights of support, rights of name and custody, and social welfare. The question that will be asked is whether state and federal legislation may constitutionally discriminate between children on the …

Constitutional Law-State Action: Significant Involvement In Ostensibly Private Discriminations-Mulkey V. Reitman, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

From 1959 through 1963, the California legislature enacted a series of statutes which prohibited racial discrimination in the sale or rental of housing. Most important among these were the Unruh Civil Rights Act, which proscribed racial discrimination by "business establishments of every kind,'' and the Rumford Fair Housing Act, which prohibited such conduct by anyone in the sale or rental of residential housing containing more than four units. Adverse public reaction to these statutes resulted in an amendment to the California constitution15 by means of an initiative measure in the general election of 1964. This amendment, popularly known as Proposition …

Civil Disobedience: A New Credo?, Robert B. Mckay

Georgia Law Review

The signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, Benjamin Franklin warned that "We must all hang together or assuredly we shall all hang separately." Abraham Lincoln, in our nation's darkest hour, took his cue from the Biblical admonition of St. Mark to insist that a nation divided against itself cannot stand. From statements like these is derived the proposition that in unity there is strength. This simple truth, however, conceals a problem which is no different today than it has always been. We must ask: What is the price of unity, and is it worth the cost? …

Validity Of State Proposition Effectively Repealing Anti-Discrimination Laws, Anon

Washington Law Review

The California Legislature did not attempt to prevent property owners from selecting buyers or tenants on the basis of racial considerations until 1959. Then, by enacting the Hawkins Act and the Unruh Civil Rights Act, the legislature chose to regulate racial discrimination in all business establishments including those involving the selling or renting of residential property and in all publicly assisted housing. Three years later, by enacting the Rumford Fair Housing Act, the legislature extended the regulation of discriminatory conduct to owners of most, but not all, residential property. Plaintiffs alleged that, contrary to the express provisions of the Unruh …

Civil Rights Crimes And The Federal Power To Punish Private Individuals For Interference With Federally Secured Rights, Howard M. Feuerstein

Vanderbilt Law Review

Participants in the current civil rights movement in the South have been subjected to countless acts of violence and intimidation committed by private individuals acting either on their own or as part of racist organizations. As a result of such acts of violence, new legislation has been introduced in Congress.' Yet, the federal system historically has placed strict limitations on the power of the national government to deal with the acts of private individuals. The time is therefore ripe for a re-examination of these limitations. In so doing,this article deals with acts of private individuals in the technical sense of …

Nondiscrimination Implications Of Federal Involvement In Housing, Jerome B. Ullman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Government enforcement of equal opportunity in all housing, or in all housing connected with the various federal programs discussed in this note, would virtually eliminate the present fear among many whites that the presence of Negroes in the community hurts property values. Even if there were any basis to such a fear, the fact that Negroes had an easily enforceable right to purchase property in all neighborhoods would tend to prevent such price devaluation since the actual presence of Negroes in more and more areas would eventually make all white neighborhoods non-existent. Moreover,the fact that all, or the vast majority …
