Indochina: Some Lingering Issues Of Law And Policy, Cornelius F. Murphy Jr.

Duquesne Law Review

One consequence of the "winding down" of the Vietnam War has been a lessening of interest in the legal issues raised by the conflict. But there are some recent reminders of the relevance of law to this great tragedy. The decision of the Supreme Court in Gillette v. United States dramatically illustrates how the human conscience remains tortured by the war. Within Indochina, two major military operations: the Cambodian incursion, and the movement of troops into Laos, have posed new questions of law and policy for international lawyers.

Criminal Procedure - Change Of Venue For Jury Prejudice, Norman K. Clark

Duquesne Law Review

The United States Supreme Court has held that a state statute preventing a change of venue for a jury trial in a criminal case, solely on the ground that the crime with which defendant was charged was a misdemeanor, violates the right to trial by impartial jury guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment.

Court Administration: The Newest Profession, Bernadine Meyer

Duquesne Law Review

Developments in court administration have come at a rapid rate during the past decade. The efforts of Chief Justice Warren Burger have contributed greatly to this accelerated growth. In assessing the state of the judiciary, he termed challenges to our system of justice "colossal and immediate," and assigned priority "to methods and machinery, to procedure and techniques, to management and adminis tration of judicial resources." These, he reasoned, would not be the long range undertakings that re-examination of outdated substantive legal institutions would be.

Constitutional Law - Freedom Of The Press - First Amendment Right Of A Newsman Not To Reveal Confidential Information, Robert Thomas Barletta

Duquesne Law Review

United States District Court for the Northern District of California has held that a newspaper reporter called before a grand jury would not be required to reveal confidential associations, sources, or information that impinge upon the effective exercise of his First Amendment right to gather news for dissemination until such time as a compelling and overriding national interest which cannot be alternatively served has been established to the satisfaction of the court.

Affirmative Action Dents The National Labor Policy, Aims C. Coney Jr.

Duquesne Law Review

In this author's earlier review of Executive Order 11,246, published in February, 1971, it was predicted that 1971 would be the year in which affirmative action would achieve the awe and the respect of the legal profession. Among the reasons then given for the profession's expanding awareness were the following: (1) the far greater circulation of equal opportunity certification forms among government contractors and subcontractors; (2) the growing tendency of federal, state and local civil rights enforcement agencies to use affirmative action criteria in adjudicating issues of discrimination; (3) the federal government's readiness to use stop orders in the construction …

The Public Employee Relations Act And Pennsylvania Teachers: A Legal Analysis In Light Of The January, 1971 Pittsburgh Dispute, Richard F. Andracki

Duquesne Law Review

On July 23, 1970 the Pennsylvania Public Employe Relations Act, popularly known as Act 195, was signed into law, thus supposedly ushering into existence an age of enlightenment in the field of public sector bargaining in Pennsylvania. However, the first major test of the new law, which came during the contract negotiations between the Pittsburgh School Board and the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers, seemed to indicate that the stated purpose of the Act, "to promote orderly and constructive relationships between all public employers and their employes," was left singularly unfulfilled. It is the aim of this comment to ascertain the …

The Pornography Report: Epistemology, Methodology And Ideology, Weldon T. Johnson

Duquesne Law Review

In a summary section of The Report of the Commission on Obscenity and Pornography, my colleagues and I wrote that ". . . persons who are unfamiliar with erotic materials may experience strong and conflicting emotional reactions when first exposed to sexual stimuli. Multiple responses, such as attraction and repulsion to an unfamiliar object, are commonly observed in the research literature on psychosensory stimulation from a variety of nonsexual as well as sexual stimuli."' It may be ironic (but not unpredictable) that the Report we were writing would subsequently generate similarly strong and conflicting emotional responses, for the same …

Newsman's Immunity Statute--A Comparison Of Legislative Intent To Statutory Form, Ignazio J. Ruvolo

San Diego Law Review

The purpose of this Article will be to evaluate the need to protect the identity of sources of information from disclosure by extending the immunity statute to both newsmen and their sources. Also to be considered is the equally basic need to protect society from abuse of the immunity by unknown libelers and the infringements placed on the interests of justice by such an extension of the statute.

Mental Illness And Criminal Commitment In Michigan, Grant H. Morris

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article concentrates on one vital issue: to what extent are differences in treatment justified because of a mentally ill person's "criminal" involvement. While the article is primarily concerned with Michigan institutions and Michigan statutes, the discussion and the solutions proposed are in many respects applicable to all states of the Union. Not only must all states reevaluate their policies toward criminal commitment of the mentally ill in light of ever-changing medical and penal theory, but they must also consider the developing constitutional concepts in this area. These constitutional issues are raised here only to the extent necessary to alert …

The Illinois Criminal Code Of 1961 And Code Of Criminal Procedure Of 1963, Charles H. Bowman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Illinois had no "Criminal Code" in the sense of a codified, systematic body of law functioning as an instrument of social control in a modern community. Many provisions had remained unchanged since Judge Lockwood, in submitting a revised draft of the Laws of Illinois to the Illinois General Assembly of 1827, described the small chapter on criminal jurisprudence as deriving primarily from a volume of the Laws of New York of 1802 which he brought with him to Illinois, and a volume of the Laws of Georgia which he located in the office of the Secretary of State. In fact, …
