Mr. Justice Powell And The Emerging Nixon Majority, A.E. Dick Howard Jan 1972

Mr. Justice Powell And The Emerging Nixon Majority, A.E. Dick Howard

Michigan Law Review

In recent years, we have come to expect the debate over Supreme Court nominations to reflect ideological passions in the Government and the country at large; the Fortas, Haynsworth, and Carswell cases remain fresh in memory. In the hearings on the nominations of Lewis F. Powell, Jr., and William H. Rehnquist to the Court, Senate Democratic liberals made clear their intention to probe not only the nominees' integrity and legal qualifications, but also their judicial philosophies. It was ironic, therefore, to watch as liberal members of the Judiciary Committee, through their questions and comments at the confirmation hearings, made Powell, …

The Clear And Present Danger Standard: Its Present Viability Jan 1971

The Clear And Present Danger Standard: Its Present Viability

University of Richmond Law Review

The first amendment to the Constitution of the United States provides that "Congress shall make no law ...abridging the freedom of speech or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble..." While the terms of the first amendment appear to be all embracing, its application has never been absolute. Its guarantees have always been subject to regulation by the state wherever they endangered the safety or welfare of the public. The fundamental issue involved in all first amendment problems involving free expression is the determination of the point at which the rights of the individual stop …

The Fetus As A Legal Entity--Facing Reality, Louis E. Boyle Jan 1971

The Fetus As A Legal Entity--Facing Reality, Louis E. Boyle

San Diego Law Review

Robert Keeler and his wife obtained an interlocutory decree of divorce in September 1968. In February 1969, after learning that his wife was pregnant by another man, Mr. Keeler intercepted her on a mountain road and, with the words, "I'm going to stomp it out of you," assaulted her, delivering blows to the face and abdomen. A Caesarean section and examination in utero revealed the fetus had died of a severely fractured skull and resultant hemorrhaging. Fetal movements had been observed prior to the assault. The fetus was judged to have been in approximately its thirty-fifth week of gestation. An …

Part One: Historical Perspective (Of The Chesapeake Bay), Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

This study analyzes the legal problems in the development and management of Chesapeake Bay resources. There are threshold problems of definition - What is Chesapeake Bay? What are its resources? What role does law play in their development and management?

The "Historical Perspective" traces the political controversies that have involved the Bay since the colonies of Maryland and Virginia were first founded. In a rough sense, it defines the traditional resources of the Bay by isolating occasions when individuals, businesses and governmental bodies found themselves at cross-purposes as to how the Bay was to be used and shared.

Consideration Of Anticipatory Uses In Decisions On Coastal Development, Daniel Wilkes Jul 1969

Consideration Of Anticipatory Uses In Decisions On Coastal Development, Daniel Wilkes

San Diego Law Review

Between 1849 and 1965, San Francisco Bay shrank from 700 square miles to its present 400 square miles before a halt to piecemeal filling stopped its irreversible destruction. This loss should have been foreseeable. When decision makers work on an ad hoc basis, it is logical that they would look no further than the proposal at hand. Any objections considered were solely from those parties already using the Bay. In Florida, a series of decisions taking fresh waters away from the Everglades National Park now threatens to destroy entirely the ecology of the Everglades. The existence of this threat illustrates …

Comment, John W. Wade

Vanderbilt Law Review

The majority opinion in the Illinois Supreme Court held that if a change was to be made, the task was for the legislature, not the court. The five in the majority were not ready to deliver an opinion like that in MacPherson, Henningsen, Greenman.' If they had, there is real reason to believe that a similar consequence of an immediate and substantial judicial following would have developed. Without saying so, they seemed to be influenced by the thought that they would be complete pioneers in uncharted territory, with no precedents to rely upon or to interpret. Are there any judicial …

Jurisprudence And The Nature Of Language: Contrasting Views Of Hart And Chomsky, Anon Apr 1967

Jurisprudence And The Nature Of Language: Contrasting Views Of Hart And Chomsky, Anon

Washington Law Review

Because much of modern philosophy has been preoccupied with some form of language analysis and because jurists often apply philosophical techniques and insights when attempting to solve jurisprudential problems, theories or views of the nature of language have considerable jurisprudential significance. The point is illustrated by the recent movement toward using the methods of "ordinary language" philosophy in the analysis of legal problems. The pattern is not new; a roughly similar relationship is seen in positivism and its application in jurisprudence. The notion behind this approach is that an understanding of the nature of language contributes to the solution of …
