The Public Interest Concept In Law And In Economics, Robert W. Harbeson

Michigan Law Review

It is an interesting and perhaps important coincidence that only a year previous to the famous decision in Nebbia v. New York there appeared two volumes which together constitute an equally notable landmark in the development of economic doctrine, Professor Edward Chamberlin's Theory of Monopolistic Competition and Mrs. Joan Robinson's Economics of Imperfect Competition. While there is no evidence that the latter works influenced the outcome of the Nebbia case, the writer is of the opinion that these studies not only afford a rationale of that decision but also make desirable a re-examination of the concept of "businesses affected …

Schools - Private Parochial Schools - Transportation Of Pupils - Use Of Public Funds, Fred C. Newman

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff taxpayers instituted proceedings to restrain defendant board of education from complying with a statute which required defendant board of education to expend public funds for the purpose of transporting pupils to and from a parochial school. Held, that the statute was invalid as violative of the provision of the state constitution which prohibited the use of any public money "directly or indirectly" in aid of any sectarian school, and plaintiffs were entitled to judgment upon the pleadings; three judges dissented. Judd v. Board of Education of Union Free School Dist. No. 2, 278 N. Y. 200, 15 …

Taxation - Federal Estate Tax - Gift In Contemplation Of Death, Edmund O'Hare

Michigan Law Review

Decedent, when eighty years old and while still in good health, set up an irrevocable trust of one-third of his property, with a life estate to his daughter and remainder over on the daughter's death to her children and descendants. Under the trust deed the income was to be accumulated and added to the principal until the donor's death. The Supreme Court found that decedent, who was thinking about speculating on the stock exchange, was anxious to insure adequate provision for his daughter and her descendants upon his death, and that he therefore determined to make an irrevocable disposition of …

"Extra Time For Overtime" Now Law, Frank E. Cooper

Michigan Law Review

The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 presents a great many legal and practical problems of importance commensurate with the comprehensiveness of the act itself, which is probably the most far-reaching of the New Deal statutes since the N. R. A. The act is conceived on the theory that any physical handling of goods destined to be subsequently shipped to another state is an act so closely and substantially related to the flow of interstate commerce as to be subject to Congressional regulation, and thus depends for its validity upon an extension of the theories approved in the Wagner Act …

Manufacturer's Liability For Injuries Caused By His Products: Defective Automobiles, Lester W. Feezer

Michigan Law Review

When a manufactured article fails to meet the reasonable expectations of the purchaser-user and in consequence he suffers personal injury or property damage, is the manufacturer responsible? When the user purchases from the manufacturer, so that there is privity of contract and the formulated concepts of sales and warranty law are available, we have a relatively simple situation which it is not the primary purpose of this paper to discuss. The common-law concepts for dealing with such problems seem to have been formulated in times when this privity element was usually present, and it is therefore not a matter of …

Parent And Child - Effect Of Adoption On Legal Status Of Child, Marcus L. Plant

Michigan Law Review

In 1933 the appellants adopted the child of the appellees, and the decree declaring them to be the adoptive parents concluded with the words, "With leave to parents to occasionally see the child." The natural parents, who were living apart, filed several petitions in the court to see the child at stated intervals. These petitions were granted. The adoptive parents, in 1936, filed a petition alleging that the repeated visits of the natural father and mother were prejudicially affecting the child's nervous condition, and impairing his health, and praying that the provision under the decree be altered. Upon submission of …

Judicial Review Of Administrative Action In West Virginia--A Study In Separation Of Powers, Kenneth C. Davis

West Virginia Law Review

This article attempts to bring together and to analyze critically the West Virginia cases dealing with review by courts of action taken by administrative officials and tribunals. Although a wealth of legal literature on federal administrative law is rapidly developing, studies of some phases of state law in this field are still relatively rare. The need for research in state administrative law is indicated by the seemingly unscientific approach of many courts to some problems, by an apparently high degree of incoherence in the decisions, and by the striking inadequacy of the case finders. This article proceeds upon the hypothesis …

Constitutional Law -Validity Of Registration Provisions Of Public Utility Holding Company Act Of 1935, Gerald L. Stoetzer

Michigan Law Review

In recognition of the abuses that arise from the monopolistic tendencies of holding companies in the public utility field and of the inability of the respective states to exert the necessary control thereof, Congress has attempted to draw certain of the public utility holding companies within the inquisitorial and regulatory control of the federal Securities and Exchange Commission. The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, reciting in great detail facts showing the necessity for control of holding companies having as subsidiaries electric and gas operating utilities, indicates that Congress regarded the uncontrolled utility holding company as "an agency which, …
