Constitutional Law-Commerce Clause-State Regulation Of Interstate Commerce, William O. Allen

Michigan Law Review

The City of Madison enacted an ordinance prohibiting the sale within the municipality's jurisdiction of milk not pasteurized and bottled within five miles of the city's central square. Plaintiff, an Illinois corporation engaged in distributing milk and milk products in Illinois and Wisconsin, had its pasteurization plant in Illinois, approximately sixty-five miles from Madison. After it had been denied a permit to distribute milk in Madison, plaintiff brought an action for a declaratory judgment as to the validity of the ordinance. The ordinance was upheld by the Wisconsin Supreme Court as a reasonable exercise of the municipality's police power. On …

Criminal Law Administration Prior To Trial: Recent Constitutional Developments, Paul H. Sanders

Vanderbilt Law Review

Probably the most pervasive dilemma in human experience is that which poses the choice with respect to the use of normally-condemned means in order to attain what are considered to be desirable ends. The field of criminal law administration offers a particularly apt illustration of the dilemma in modern society. The actual, day-to-day methods of operation of our law enforcement officers, prosecutors, judges and other officials concerned with the investigation, trial and punishment of those charged with crime,--all reflect the choice that has been made in fact by our society. We can each judge, within the limits of our experience, …

Tort Liability In Aircraft Accidents, Henry G. Gatlin Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Over twenty years ago, Justice Cardozo said, "Aviation is today an established method of transportation. The future, even the near future, will make it still more general." Aviation is now a vital part of our daily lives and a familiarity well steeped in American tradition. But even with this apparent adoption of the place of aviation in our economic cycle, it is accompanied by misunderstanding and confusion--witness the placement of serious auto accidents on page six of our newspapers, where headlines scream of aviation's failure if a crash occurs. But as was said in Cohn v. United Air Lines Transport …

A Study Of Liberty, Patricia Underwood

Student Scholarship

This paper explores the complex and evolving definition of liberty within the American political framework, specifically examining how the concept has shifted from a theoretical state of nature to a structured legal reality. The author posits that while the world lacks a singular, static definition of liberty, its fixed fundamentals in the United States are rooted in the rights that citizens reserve for themselves from their government. Historically, this began with the transition from primitive, absolute freedom to group living, where individuals sacrificed certain actions in exchange for the security and conveniences provided by a collective social order.

Insurance-Application Of "Incontestable" Clause In A Life Insurance Policy To Defenses Arising Out Of Application For Reinstatement, Walter L. Dean S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

An agreement to limit the contest period in which other than specifically excepted defenses on the policy can be raised by the insurer is a common feature in a modem life insurance contract. Such a clause gives the policy holder and the beneficiary a guaranty against expensive litigation after the lapse of the specified period while reserving to the insurer a reasonable opportunity to challenge the validity of the policy.

Labor Law--Federal-State Relations--Validity Of State Law Abolishing The Right To Strike For Employees Of Public Utilities, Rex Eames S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In 1948, petitioner-union of the employees of the transit system in the City of Milwaukee called a strike upon failure to agree with the transit company on wages, hours, and working conditions. Under the Wisconsin Public Utility Anti-Strike Law, a state court issued an injunction perpetually restraining petitioner from calling a strike which would cause an interruption of the passenger service of the transit company; petitioner complied therewith. The Wisconsin Supreme Court affirmed the issuance of the injunction, and the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari. Thereafter, the United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to a union of the employees …

The Charter And The Constitution: The Human Rights Provisions In American Law, Oscar Schachter

Vanderbilt Law Review

The United Nations has added new complications to the well-worn subject of treaties and the Constitution. The issues have arisen principally in the field of human rights and, inevitably, constitutional discussions have reflected the political as well as the legal complexities. One consequence has been an apparent shift in legal positions: bar association leaders, long devoted to strict construction, have been inclined recently to stress the broad and expansive character of the treaty power and the supremacy clause ; in contrast, U.S. Government officials normally expected to support federal power have increasingly emphasized constitutional limitations. In political terms, this turnabout …

Recent Constitutional Developments On Personal Jurisdiction Of Courts, Virginia B. Cowan

Vanderbilt Law Review

In strict logic, the concept of the power of courts to deal in personam with controversies is said to be a constant and the extension of jurisdiction merely an appropriation of pre-existing power. More realistically, it is obvious that, as institutions and citizens become increasingly mobile and migratory, the courts are obliged to keep their jurisdictional machinery abreast of the times in order that legal processes may continue to be the effective arbiter of disputes in our society. Regardless of what terms are used to describe the source of the power, it is traditionally conceived to be limited by the …
