Constitutional Law-Relation Of Federal And State Governments- Applicability Of State Minimum Price Regulations To Federal Procurement, Alexander E. Bennett

Michigan Law Review

The United States accepted the lowest bids for the supply of milk at three military installations in California. Because these bids were below the minimum prices for wholesale milk prescribed by state law, California instituted proceedings in the state courts for civil damages and injunctive relief against the successful bidders. The United States brought a separate action in a federal district court asking that the state be enjoined from applying its minimum price regulations to milk purchases by the armed services on the grounds that the military installations were federal enclaves over which the United States has exclusive jurisdiction and …

Stability And Change In Constitutional Law, Robert B. Mckay

Vanderbilt Law Review

Constitutional law, like other law, is rooted in the conservative tradition of the legal system as a whole and thus more willingly pays court to the muse of history and the force of precedent than to the muse of sociology and the demand for revision. It is therefore not surprising that lawyers read constitutions as law, in the ordinary meaning of that word, and that judges apply constitutional provisions as they do other law...

The Constitution of the United States was not cast in legal mold by accident, but by design that was itself the product of ineluctable history. A …

Stability And Change In Constitutional Law, Jerre S. Williams

Vanderbilt Law Review

This characterization of the role of the United States Constitution by the great Chief Justice one hundred and forty-four years ago accurately sets the scene for a consideration of stability and change in constitutional law. To have viewed the United States Constitution as a code would have been contrary to the entire common-law tradition out of which it grew. Instead, as this quotation reveals, it has never been seen as establishing a set, unchangeable meaning. The history of constitutional interpretation in the United States reveals that Pound's famous dictum, "law must be stable and yet it cannot standstill," is not …

The Constitution And Preclusion/Res Judicata, Allan D. Vestal

Michigan Law Review

The interrelation of lawsuits is one of the most troublesome, yet least commented upon, areas of the law. The ramifications are great; related lawsuits may be pending concurrently, either brought by the same individual-repetitive litigation--or brought by different parties-reactive litigation. Such lawsuits may occur serially over a period of time. The courts are then faced with problems which have traditionally been discussed in terms of res judicata, bar, merger, or estoppel. It is impossible to cover the whole area or even a sizable part of it in a single article, but it is feasible to examine one facet which certainly …

Translated Opinions

The respondent was convicted at first instance of being a procurer under section 1(b) of the Penal Law Amendment (Prostitution Offences) Law, 1962, but owing to the special circumstances of the case he was not given a prison sentence but put on probation. An appeal to the Supreme Court having failed, the Attorney-General applied for a Further Hearing* regarding the construction of the said section 10 in the light of section 3 (2) of the Probation of Offenders Ordinance, 1944. The sole issue was whether a person convicted under the Law must be sentenced to imprisonment or may instead be …

Translated Opinions

Facts: The respondent was charged with an offence against the Commodities and Services (Control) (Transport of Bread) Order, 1960, for transporting bread in open dirty boxes on the roof of an automobile. He admitted the facts but denied liability on the ground that the Order was ultra vires the Minister of Health who had issued it, according to the terms of the enabling Law, which confined the power to make Orders regarding specified essential matters and in a period only during which a state of emergency prevailed. At first instance this plea was rejected and he was convicted and sentenced, …

Current Challenge To Federalism: The Confederating Proposals, William F. Swindler

Faculty Publications

Professor Swindler treats the three recently proposed constitutional amendments as the culmination of state frustration at the evolution of ascendant federalism especially as embodied in modern Supreme Court decisions. Equating the proposals, in effect, to the fragmented system under the Articles of Confederation, he rejects them as contrary to the weight of constitutional history. The Constitution having established a new concept of federalism-an amalgam of the people of the United States-the author concludes that representative government is the essence of that federalism and that neither the states, their legislatures, nor their courts can have authority in the area of activity …

Constitutional Law—Reimbursement Of Utility Relocation Costs, Wayne Booth, Jr.

Washington Law Review

In 1959 the state legislature passed a law enabling Washington to obtain federal-aid highway grants for the reimbursement of utility relocation costs incident to federal highway construction. In the recent case of Washington St. Hy. Comm'n. v. Pacific Northwest Bell Tel. Co., the Washington Supreme Court held this legislation to violate the state constitution.

Washington Law Review

Allocco, who had been convicted of a narcotics violation by a jury, petitioned a United States District Court to grant his motion for release under 28 U.S.C. § 2255, alleging that his conviction should be set aside because the judge who sat at his trial was not properly appointed to his office so as to be able to exercise the judicial power conferred by U.S. Const. art. III. The district court denied his motion and the court of appeals affirmed. This was the first federal decision in recent times to deal directly with the recess appointment power and the first …

The Worker And Three Phases Of Unionism: Administrative And Judicial Control Of The Worker-Union Relationship, Alfred W. Blumrosen

Michigan Law Review

This article will examine the extent to which, and the methods by which, individual rights are protected in each of these three phases of union activity. We will see that the employee is well protected in his right to oppose political action of the union and has considerable legal protection for his rights to engage in internal union political struggles, but the employee has received little protection for his economic interests in collective bargaining between unions and employers. A recent decision by the NLRB, which will be examined in some detail, suggests that additional protection for individual economic rights in …

Ripeness And Reviewable Orders In Administrative Law, Louis L. Jaffe

Michigan Law Review

The requirement of "ripeness" as a condition for judicial review is not so much a definable doctrine as a compendious portmanteau, a group of related doctrines arising in diverse but analogically similar situations. In its most general sense ripeness is a requirement not of the administrative action to be reviewed but of the judicial controversy between the plaintiff and the agency. Consider the case where an agency has gone no further than to threaten a certain action which the plaintiff in an equity or declaratory proceeding claims would be contrary to law: here, in all strictness, the controversy concerns …

A more complete understanding of the case, while doing much to temper the initial outburst of disapproval, did not by any means dispel all criticism of the decision or allay all the apprehensions aroused by it. Believing that the Supreme Court's opinion was premised on a fundamentally erroneous interpretation of the establishment clause of the first amendment, Bishop James A. Pike headed a movement to amend the Constitution so as to restore what he regarded as the true and intended meaning of its pertinent language. In the meantime, the Supreme Court has agreed to review and has heard argument on …

The EngelCase From A Swiss Perspective, F. William O'Brien

Michigan Law Review

On June 25, 1962, the Supreme Court of the United States held that the State of New York, by using its public school system to encourage recitation of a prayer during classroom hours, had adopted a practice wholly inconsistent with that clause of the first amendment, applicable to the states by virtue of the fourteenth amendment, which prohibits laws respecting an establishment of religion. The opinion of the Court, written by Mr. Justice Black for himself and four other Justices, is interesting in that he rests the Court's decision exclusively upon the establishment clause. In previous decisions, the Court had …
