Yoshida International, Inc. V. United States: Was The 1971 Import Surcharge Legally Imposed?, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

On August 15, 1971, President Nixon announced the imposition of a ten per cent ad valorem surcharge on all dutiable imports. According to the President, the surcharge was necessary because an overvaluation of United States currency had created a situation in which United States imports were increasing faster than exports, contributing to a balance of payments deficit.

To correct the overvaluation, the President could have unilaterally devalued the dollar, thus effecting a realignment of exchange rates. However, there was some concern that such an action by the United States would lead to similar devaluations by other countries, thereby negating any …

Cruel Or Unusual Punishments In California: New Problems In Fitting Punishment To Crimes, Robert L. Eisenberg

San Diego Law Review

Recently, two California courts of appeal have attempted to apply the cruelty standards laid down in Lynch to the punishment proscribed in a criminal assault statute. People v. Romo and People v. Wingo came to opposite conclusions as to whether the punishment was cruel or unusual. The conflict will be resolved by the Supreme Court of California when it reviews the two cases. This Comment will discuss the status of California's cruel or unusual punishment provision, and will analyze the important problems raised by Romo and Wingo.

Disquisition On The Need For A New Model For Criminal Sanctioning Systems, M. Kay Harris

West Virginia Law Review

The time is ripe for a major restructuring of our criminal sanctioning systems. Pressures for change are arising from many sources. As crime rates continue to rise and public fear of crime grows apace, thoughtful persons from many walks of life are more strongly articulating the need to find a different method of dealing with those convicted of violating the criminal law. The criminal prosecutions and dispositions arising from Watergate and related cases have brought many of the issues of unequal justice into the thoughts of American citizens. Proposals for criminal and penal code revision await action in legislatures throughout …

Administrative Searches And Seizures: What Happened To Camara And See?, Mark A. Rothstein, Laura F. Rothstein

Washington Law Review

In recent years the Government's efforts in promoting health, safety and welfare have necessitated an increased number of administrative inspections of commercial and noncommercial premises. Although such inspections were previously held to be excluded from the fourth amendment's ban on unreasonable searches and seizures, the Supreme Court held in Camara v. Municipal Court and See v. Seattle that administrative inspections must comply with the warrant provision of the fourth amendment. Since those decisions, the Court has emphasized the exceptions to, rather than the strictures of, the warrant requirement. This article analyzes developments in the law concerning administrative searches and seizures …

State Management Of The Environment Part One: An Evaluation Of The Michigan Experience, Geoffrey J. Lanning

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Michigan's citizens, as well as its government, seem but dimly aware of the fact that Michigan-the home of America's most growth-centered industry, the automobile-lies at the very eye of the environmental storm. This article seeks to take a broad look at the shortcomings of Michigan's environmental protection in recent years. In so doing, it groups many of Michigan's recent environmental failings into broad categories which will both clarify the status of Michigan's environmental law climate and provide a basis for its reform. Parts One and Two consist of this analysis and evaluation. Part Three will examine possible solutions and offer …
