Basic Rules Of Relevancy In The Proposed Federal Rules Of Evidence, Jack B. Weinstein, Margaret A. Berger

Georgia Law Review

IN evaluating the proposed Rules of Evidence for the United States Federal District Courts and Magistrates now being considered by the bench and bar, there are a number of pervasive issues in addition to specific policy and drafting decisions reflected in individual rules. Among them are: First, the question whether federal rules of evidence are desirable; second, the degree of discretion to be afforded trial judges in applying the rules; third, the relation of state to federal rules; and, fourth, the question whether distinctions should be drawn between civil and criminal cases and between bench and jury-tried cases.

Reapportionment: Success Story Of The Warren Court, Robert B. Mckay

Michigan Law Review

The fascinating thing about this major engagement of the Warren Court is that the principal decisions came to the Court late-1962 and after. Although these decisions precipitated a revolution in the concept and practice of legislative representation at every level of government, they were implemented quickly and with surprisingly little dislocation. The following remarks are intended to report the fact of that adjustment and to explain, to the extent the phenomenon is now understandable, why the change was so easily accomplished. When compared with the delay in public acceptance of decisions in the other areas mentioned above, the success of …

Michigan Law Review

It has been recommended by a prestigious commission of the American Bar Association and endorsed by the ABA's House of Delegates. The Bar Association of the City of New York, which had previously recommended a different proposed amendment, has now shifted its support to direct popular vote, as has Senator Birch Bayh, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. A Gallup poll indicates that 66 per cent of the nation supports this amendment, with only 19 per cent opposed.

It must be remembered, however, that a decision to amend the Constitution is, as …

Copyright--Protection Denied To Verbal Expression Of Simple Subject Matter--Morrissey V. Proctor & Gamble Co., Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The plaintiff copyrighted a series of rules for a sales promotional contest in which contestants' social security numbers were used as the basis for a "sweepstakes." In 1959 he submitted the contest rules and game suggestions to several companies, including the defendant Procter & Gamble Company, to see if they were interested in using his scheme. The defendant failed to accept or even to respond to the plaintiff's solicitation. However, three years later Procter & Gamble initiated a "Shopping Fling Sweepstakes" which utilized contestants' social security numbers as the basic element of the game. Plaintiff brought an action for copyright …

Legislation--The Fair Packaging And Labeling Act: Its Legislative History, Content, And Future, Wesley E. Forte

Vanderbilt Law Review

The Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (FPLA), which became effective on July 1, 1967, was designed to protect consumers by requiring informative labeling and nondeceptive packaging for consumer commodities. The statute has been described as "an information bill. The first part is information largely about the label .... The second part of the bill is really, in a way, to try to eliminate the confusion in words so we have a common terminology, so we all speak the same language.... It is like establishing an alphabet ... in size designations." The author seeks to provide an insight into the new …

Law And Quantitative Multivariate Analysis: An Encounter, Arnold H. Lozowick, Peter O. Steiner, Roger Miller

Michigan Law Review

This Article chronicles one attempt to blend the sophisticated science of statistics with the mysterious art of the law in an antitrust case. Once again, we hope to provide lawyers with an understanding of a tool which can be used in resolving complex factual questions wherever they arise, not merely in an antitrust context. Although the lawyer will not emerge from this encounter as an accomplished statistician or economist, he may be able to talk to his fellow social scientists and to achieve a more fruitful application of social science techniques to the law.

State Equalization Of Local Property Tax Assessments At Fifty Percent, Anon

Washington Law Review

The Snohomish County assessor revalued the real property in two school districts of the county. Once he had determined the true and fair value of each parcel and improvement, he computed the assessed value by utilization of a 25 percent assessment ratio. The property not included in the revaluation program was assessed at 20 percent of true and fair value. The Department of Revenue ordered the County Board of Equalization to reconvene for the purpose of equalizing assessments within the county. The order required the Board to apply uniformly a 20 percent assessment ratio or to propose a reasonable alternative, …
