Municipal Corporations-Power Of Board Of Appeals To Vary Application Of Zoning Ordinance Nov 1932

Municipal Corporations-Power Of Board Of Appeals To Vary Application Of Zoning Ordinance

Michigan Law Review

Although there was some dispute among the earlier authorities, it is the rule today that comprehensive zoning ordinances, if enacted under proper legislative authority, are constitutional and will be upheld in so far as they are reasonable in application. In order to give aggrieved property owners an opportunity to obtain relief upon the basis of the ordinance itself without attacking its constitutionality, it has become common practice to give the board of appeals the power to vary the operation of the ordinance in specific cases.

The Judicial Process Of Treaty Interpretation In The United States Supreme Court, John Selden Tennant May 1932

The Judicial Process Of Treaty Interpretation In The United States Supreme Court, John Selden Tennant

Michigan Law Review

When the Federal Union was substituted for the loose confederation which had preceded it, one of the most impelling reasons for the change was the need for a united international front, which could only be achieved by further concentration in a central government of the power to deal with foreign nations. A necessary part of this general plan was the treaty-making power, taken from the states by Article I, Section 10 of the Constitution, and lodged in the President and the Senate by Article II, Section II.

State Administrative Supervision Of Municipal Indebtedness, E. Blythe Stason Apr 1932

State Administrative Supervision Of Municipal Indebtedness, E. Blythe Stason

Michigan Law Review

One of the lessons being drawn from the present economic depression, and especially from the financial straits of municipalities, is the very real need of more adequate restriction upon the power of cities, towns, villages, counties, school districts and other local governments to burden themselves and their taxpayers with excessive public debt.


Legal Aid Clinics In Less Thickly Populated Communities, John S. Bradway Apr 1932

Legal Aid Clinics In Less Thickly Populated Communities, John S. Bradway

Michigan Law Review

Legal aid work, whether performed by independent societies, or by clinics connected with law schools, has ceased to be a novelty in large cities, especially in the northeastern and extreme western parts of the United States. When one comes to examine the progress of this charitable aspect of law practice in less thickly settled communities, a definite orientation is necessary. There is little literature dealing either with the need in rural sections and the smaller cities for definite organizations or the question as to whether there is enough clinical material to make possible a law school course in this field. …

The Lawyer And The Public, Thomas Frank Konop

Journal Articles

In this address, I am purposely omitting a discussion of the subject of "Delays in Litigation" as that matter was covered by the address of Judge Cain on last Monday. Cherishing the hope that my talk may bring about a better acquaintance with, and a better understanding of the lawyer, I propose to address myself to the general public, rather than to my professional brethren. If any of you have ever attended an annual bar-banquet and there heard the usual and orthodox address on the legal profession, you undoubtedly went home impressed with the idea-whether you believed it or not-that …


Protection Of Employees Against Abrupt Discharge, G. T. Schwenning Mar 1932

Protection Of Employees Against Abrupt Discharge, G. T. Schwenning

Michigan Law Review

The dismissal compensation law movement is a significant, though relatively new, effort on the part of industrial nations to minimize the hazards of employment uncertainty. It is a development in labor legislation of recent origin designed to stabilize employment contracts by limiting employers' freedom of arbitrary and abrupt discharge. Where such statutes have been enacted, employers are required to give their employees advance notice of the termination of the labor contract or to pay compensation in lieu of notice. The length of the time of notice ranges in different countries from five days to two years, while the discharge compensation …


Equity- Constitutional Law - Power Of Legislature To Change Equitable Doctrines Mar 1932

Equity- Constitutional Law - Power Of Legislature To Change Equitable Doctrines

Michigan Law Review

A Nebraska statute provided that in case of insolvency of a state bank the general depositors, subject to prior liens for taxes, have a first lien on all assets of the bank. A bank converted a note deposited for a special purpose, and indistinguishably mingled the proceeds with the general assets of the bank before insolvency. The deposit was held to have created a trust and the cestui was allowed to recover the amount of the note (trust fund) as a preferred claim upon the general assets of the bank. To the argument that this statute prohibited the imposition of …

Constitutional Law - Extent Of State Police Power In Protection Of Public Health

Michigan Law Review

An Illinois statute prohibited the manufacture or sale of milk to which had been added any fat or oil other than milk fat. The defendant was engaged in manufacturing for sale outside of the state a product composed of skimmed milk and cocoanut oil which was not deleterious to health in any way. When it was sought to recover the penalty imposed by the statute for its violation, it was claimed that the law was unconstitutional in that it deprived the defendant of property without due process of law. The court held that the statute was an invalid exercise of …

Municipal Corporations - Validity Of Setback Ordinances In Improved Districts

Michigan Law Review

Mulleady sought but was refused permission to inclose with glass a porch on a lot located in the city of Trenton. The municipality was authorized to make building regulations for the purpose of lessening congestion in streets, securing safety from fire, panic, or other danger, promoting health, morals, or general welfare, providing adequate light and air, or avoiding concentration of population. Section 12 of the municipal ordinance provided that no building should be erected, reconstructed, or altered so as to project in any wise beyond the average setback lines observed by the buildings on the same side of the street …
