State Right To Appeal: Has Maine Been Too Cautious?, David J. Corson
State Right To Appeal: Has Maine Been Too Cautious?, David J. Corson
Maine Law Review
The Legislature of the State of Maine recently passed an act relating to appeals by the State on questions of law in criminal cases. The Governor's approval of the act on January 29, 1968, was the culmination of some three years of research and debate. The purpose of this comment is to examine the form and scope of the act in light of the continuing controversy in other jurisdictions over the conflict of interests between the people and the accused in what may be characterized as a trend toward more comprehensive state appeal laws, to the end of concluding whether …
How Post Is Post-Conviction Relief In Maine?, Charles L. Cragin Iii
How Post Is Post-Conviction Relief In Maine?, Charles L. Cragin Iii
Maine Law Review
In a recent case the Maine Supreme Judicial Court delineated the prerequisites for relief under Maine's post-conviction relief statute. The court declared that actual or constructive custody is necessary for relief. In Thoresen v. State, petitioner was convicted of a felony in Maine in 1959. He had been represented by retained counsel, and had elected to plead guilty to an information charging him with grand larceny. His sentence was suspended by probation and he was permitted to leave the state. Formally complying with all the regulations of his probation, he was given a total discharge in 1961. In 1967, he …
Maine's Educational Television Network: Legal Difficulties, Charles L. Cragin Iii
Maine's Educational Television Network: Legal Difficulties, Charles L. Cragin Iii
Maine Law Review
Maine's educational television network (ETV) cannot pride itself in achieving broad goals and, in fact, cannot attempt to achieve them because of legislation of questionable legal validity which has become an anachronistic barrier to innovations consistent with a keener awareness of the utility of educational television. This note focuses on the state-controlled system servicing northern Maine and points out the conflicts between the system's enabling legislation and the manner in which the system currently operates, and between the enabling legislation and federal laws and regulations. Additionally, it recommends, in a statutory format, the manner in which the system should be …
Right To Jury Trial: Lemieux V. Robbins, Stephen R. Sunenblick
Right To Jury Trial: Lemieux V. Robbins, Stephen R. Sunenblick
Maine Law Review
A sagacious English liveryman named Tobias Hobson allowed each customer to choose the horse nearest the door, thereby presenting these customers with no real alternative. The State of Maine made a like proposition in Lemieux v. Robbins by implementing a novel criminal procedure whereby a defendant has a "choice" of either accepting his district court misdemeanor conviction as final, or appealing for a de novo trial by jury in superior court and possibly being convicted of a felony for contravening the same statute under which he was originally charged. The implementation of this procedure began with a complaint filed in …
Procedural Rights Of The Military Accused: Advantages Over A Civilian Defendant, Homer E. Moyer Jr.
Procedural Rights Of The Military Accused: Advantages Over A Civilian Defendant, Homer E. Moyer Jr.
Maine Law Review
The Supreme Court recently decided in O'Callahan v. Parker that the military lacks jurisdiction to try servicemen for crimes that are not "service-connected." Justice Douglas, in rendering the majority opinion, was highly critical of military justice and criminal procedures in the court-martial system, which he characterized as "a system of specialized military courts, proceeding by practices different from those obtaining in the regular courts and in general less favorable to defendants . . . . .” The opinion further added that "courts-martial as an institution are singularly inept in dealing with the nice subtleties of constitutional law . . . …
The Civilianization Of Military Law, Edward F. Sherman
The Civilianization Of Military Law, Edward F. Sherman
Maine Law Review
Military law in the United States has always functioned as a system of jurisprudence independent of the civilian judiciary. It has its own body of substantive laws and procedures which has a different historical derivation than the civilian criminal law. The federal courts have always been reluctant to interfere with the court-martial system, as explained by the Supreme Court in 1953 in Burns v. Wilson: "Military law, like state law, is a jurisprudence which exists separate and apart from the law which governs in our federal judicial establishment. This Court has played no role in its development; we have exerted …
Beaulieu V. Beaulieu: An Obituary For Lex Loci And An Approach To Interest Analysis, David C. Shonka
Beaulieu V. Beaulieu: An Obituary For Lex Loci And An Approach To Interest Analysis, David C. Shonka
Maine Law Review
Clifford Beaulieu, a guest in his father's automobile, was injured when the vehicle struck a telephone pole in Massachusetts. Both parties were residents of Maine. The trip had originated in Maine and was to terminate there. The son filed an action against his father in the Maine Superior Court, alleging negligent operation of the vehicle. On an agreed statement of facts, the case was reported to the Maine Supreme Judicial Court where the defendant argued for dismissal of the action on the grounds that the doctrine of lex loci delictus, the law of the place of the tort, was applicable …
Conservation, Policy And The Role Of Counsel, David J. Halperin
Conservation, Policy And The Role Of Counsel, David J. Halperin
Maine Law Review
The conservation interests in the State of Maine have been roused to a furor by the decision of Maine's highest court in State v. Johnson. The case, in substance, holds that Maine's Wetlands Act is unconstitutional when applied to prohibit the filling of a specific segment of salt water marsh. While both the decision and the underlying statute are of considerable substantive interest, the case deserves particular study for the light it sheds on the role of counsel in helping the legal process accommodate new policy concerns. A note of caution must, of course, be sounded before seeking to generalize …
De Novo Juries, Misdemeanor Counsel, And Other Problems: Changes Ahead For The Maine District Courts?, Pierce B. Hasler
De Novo Juries, Misdemeanor Counsel, And Other Problems: Changes Ahead For The Maine District Courts?, Pierce B. Hasler
Maine Law Review
The Maine judicial system has two levels of criminal courts, the superior court having exclusive trial jurisdiction over felony prosecutions and the district court operating with concurrent trial jurisdiction for misdemeanors. The district court also processes the preliminary phases of felony cases; included in this function are bail hearings, initial appearances (arraignments), and preliminary hearings. To provide jury trials in misdemeanor prosecutions state law permits all district court convictions to be appealed to the superior court for trial de novo to a jury. The accepted reason for unlimited de novo trials is that the state constitution requires a jury in …
The Constitutional Law Of Remedies In Welfare Litigation, Donald F. Fontaine
The Constitutional Law Of Remedies In Welfare Litigation, Donald F. Fontaine
Maine Law Review
It is becoming increasingly obvious that the problems of poor people in the United States are dependent, more than those of other classes, upon the proper administration of government agencies. The contact of poor people with government agencies involves most of their chief concerns in life: Welfare, social security, adequate health care, adequate income from work, a safe and healthy place to live, whether privately or publicly owned, and schools that provide real education without racial or economic discrimination. Where payments are improperly withheld from a presumably destitute recipient, the need for a speedy and adequate remedy should be obvious. …
Maine Real Estate Law, Donald W. Philbrick
Maine Real Estate Law, Donald W. Philbrick
Maine Law Review
The author, a former lecturer at the University of Maine School of Law, in the book's foreword, disclaims that his book is written for lawyers. In this disclaimer, he is far too modest. Most lawyers who deal with matters concerning real estate law will benefit by a refresher course. This volume provides an excellent and very readable combination of English and Colonial historical background and current Maine law.
A Proposal To Protect Maine From The Oilbergs Of The 70'S, Eugene C. Coughlin Iii
A Proposal To Protect Maine From The Oilbergs Of The 70'S, Eugene C. Coughlin Iii
Maine Law Review
The oil industry is moving into Maine with plans to develop new oil ports and to build oil refineries along the coast. Although the Portland harbor is one of the busiest oil ports on the eastern seaboard, the enormous increase in oil transportation over Maine waters, as envisioned by the oil magnates, poses frightening consequences for Maine people. Responding to this threat and to a growing conservation lobby, as well as an aroused public, the 104th Legislature passed measures that hopefully will begin to cope with the problem. Hailed as landmark conservation legislation, the new laws go further than past …
Bankruptcy Courts In Transition Toward Debtor Rehabilitation, Conrad K. Cyr
Bankruptcy Courts In Transition Toward Debtor Rehabilitation, Conrad K. Cyr
Maine Law Review
This article attempts primarily to cope with the so-called debtor relief provisions of the Bankruptcy Act rather than with its ordinary or straight bankruptcy provisions. The different emphasis upon liquidation in ordinary bankruptcy and rehabilitation in debtor relief proceedings justifies their separate treatment. It must be cautioned, however, that not only the philosophy but many of the administrative and procedural precepts of chapters I-VII of the Bankruptcy Act are incorporated, either by word or implication, into the debtor relief chapters. Moreover, most types of cases filed under the Bankruptcy Act are administered by the same personnel in the same court …

"Significant Bodily Intrusions": Investigations Into Law Enforcement Phlebotomy, Anne Kathleen Johnson
"Significant Bodily Intrusions": Investigations Into Law Enforcement Phlebotomy, Anne Kathleen Johnson
Dissertations and Theses
This three-paper dissertation explores law enforcement phlebotomy, the ability of law enforcement officers to draw blood. Phlebotomy is both a ubiquitous, invasive diagnostic tool as well as a social site with complex relational dynamics at play between phlebotomist and patient. Through law enforcement phlebotomy, the blood draw is co-opted from the medical field into the policing field, and the normative framework through which it is used changes: whereas medical edicts instruct providers to work with patients through an ethics of care--respecting consent and refusal--policing is not similarly bound, instead operating through a prioritization of security and efficiency. In the articles …

The Development Of Admiralty Jurisdiction And Practice Since 1800, David P. Dawson
The Development Of Admiralty Jurisdiction And Practice Since 1800, David P. Dawson
Maine Law Review
This book undertakes several tasks. It contains a detailed narrative of the ebb and flow of the admiralty jurisdiction exercised by the English Admiralty Courts from earliest times to the present, together with a look at the practice during each period. Unlike our Admiralty jurisdiction which rests on the Constitution and has grown steadily through court interpretation, the jurisdiction of the English Admiralty Court has expanded and contracted with frequent and varying statutory changes.

Preliminary Questions Of Fact: Respective Roles Of Judge And Jury In Maine Courts, Maine Law Review
Preliminary Questions Of Fact: Respective Roles Of Judge And Jury In Maine Courts, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
Virtually indisputable in the law is the notion that the trial judge determines questions of admissibility of evidence. However, when admissibility depends upon the evaluation of a preliminary question of fact, both courts and commentators disagree as to whether the judge should continue to occupy the role of sole decision-maker. The intertwining of fact, the preliminary condition, and law, the admissibility decision, raises some havoc with accepted views of the judge as arbiter of the law and the jury as fact finder. If the judge determines both questions, he is resolving not only legal, but also factual issues traditionally within …
Comparative Negligence And Comparative Contribution In Maine: The Need For Guidelines, Maine Law Review
Comparative Negligence And Comparative Contribution In Maine: The Need For Guidelines, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
In the recent case of Packard v. Whitten, Maine became the second state to adopt the doctrine of comparative contribution among joint tortfeasors. The decision stressed the point that comparative contribution was merely a logical outgrowth of Maine's Comparative Negligence Statute and that, in particular, the 1969 amendment to that law "would appear to have little purpose except to lay the basis for a comparative contribution." The court concluded that the implementation of this new doctrine would pose no major problems: "More than five years' experience in apportioning causal fault under our Comparative Negligence Law convinces us that this change …
Arbitration As An Alternative To Judicial Settlement: Some Selected Perspectives, Mashall E. Lippman
Arbitration As An Alternative To Judicial Settlement: Some Selected Perspectives, Mashall E. Lippman
Maine Law Review
The increasing interest in arbitration as a means of judicial reform has been largely due to the fact that arbitration provides a forum for dispute settlement apart from the traditional judicial system. In other words, arbitration is regarded as a useful reform measure primarily because it affords potential litigants a forum other than the already over-burdened courts. Little consideration has been given to the possibility that in some areas arbitration may in fact be both a better forum and a better method of resolving disputes than the traditional judicial system. This article will discuss three areas, areas which are susceptible …
Federal Evaluation Of Riparian Property: Section 111 Of The Rivers And Harbors Act Of 1970, Ronald C. Allen
Federal Evaluation Of Riparian Property: Section 111 Of The Rivers And Harbors Act Of 1970, Ronald C. Allen
Maine Law Review
Certain of our citizenry persist in their belief that the water resources of this nation are essentially a free good which necessitates very little, if any, governmental interference in the development or beneficial exploitation of these resources. Theirs is obviously a dream world which dangerously ignores evidence from much of our history as well as the obvious conditions of the present. The nation is confronted with too many people, and the promise of many more, making too many demands upon our existing and foreseeable supply of water to allow the perpetuation of a myth of rugged individualism. This attitude has …
Toward The Wired Society: Prospects, Problems, And Proposals For A National Policy On Cable Technology, Gary H. Gerlach
Toward The Wired Society: Prospects, Problems, And Proposals For A National Policy On Cable Technology, Gary H. Gerlach
Maine Law Review
The city is already encroaching on the countryside in a modest cultural sense. Today many remote New England villages receive more channels of New York City television, and receive them more clearly, than do most residents of the five boroughs of the great city. This anomaly is because of a relatively new and still evolving technology, popularly called cable television. This article primarily addresses the broad problems now confronting the American people on how to devise wise national policies that will put this technology of the new communications to its best uses for the most people. In short, how is …
Defense Of Indigents In Maine: The Need For Public Defenders, Peter Avery Anderson
Defense Of Indigents In Maine: The Need For Public Defenders, Peter Avery Anderson
Maine Law Review
During the past ten years the United States Supreme Court has engineered a major reworking of criminal procedure through judicial review. In no area of criminal procedure has the overhaul been so drastic as in the right to court appointed counsel. From a time when court appointment of counsel was virtually nonexistent, the right has been expanded to the extent that counsel is now available in nearly all cases and stages of the proceedings. This rapid growth of the right to counsel has placed an understandable strain on state and federal judicial systems. Various means of coping with the demands …

Compensating Victims Of Crime: Individual Responsibility And Governmental Compensation Plans, Maine Law Review
Compensating Victims Of Crime: Individual Responsibility And Governmental Compensation Plans, Maine Law Review
Maine Law Review
During the last decade, legal scholars, criminologists, and sociologists have extensively discussed proposals for the compensation of injured victims of crime. The scholarly debate will, in all likelihood, soon come to fruition in the form of comprehensive federal legislation designed to provide an orderly and uniform governmental remedy for persons suffering losses as a result of criminally inflicted personal injury. The years following the widespread adoption of compensation programs will be crucial in the development of an effective and therapeutic system of criminal justice. As criminal sanctions are directed more toward reformation than punishment, and as compensation to victims is …
