Broadcasting, The Reluctant Dragon: Will The First Amendment Right Of Access End The Suppressing Of Controversial Ideas?, Donald M. Malone

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The scope of this article will be limited to one aspect of electronic media programming-the extent to which the public is and should be exposed to an accurate cross section of public opinion and a broad range of controversial ideas. Many people, including the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), have acknowledged that a desirable goal for the broadcast media, particularly television, is to provide a marketplace for controversial ideas. Part II of this article will identify the principal reasons why that goal has not been achieved. Part III will examine the fairness doctrine, the antecedents of which have been traced back …

Broadened Public Participation In The Administrative Process, Roger C. Cramton

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Based on remarks delivered at the Administrative Symposium held in connection with the dedication of the Georgetown University Law Center on September 17, 2917. Prof. Cramton will publish a more extensive treatment of this subject in a forthcoming issue of the Georgetown Law Journal. The views expressed in these remarks are those of the author and should not be attributed to the Administrative Conference of the United States.

The institutions of government are today under attack, but none more so than the federal administrative agencies. The agencies, it is charged, have failed to develop and implement regulatory policies fully …

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, …

Divorce Law Reform In Michigan, B. H. Lee

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Few social questions touch the individual so intimately and foster such widely divergent views as the question of divorce. From those who regard marriage as a perpetual and indissoluble bond instituted by God to those who consider it a terminable contract between a man and a woman, every shade of opinion can be found. The subject of marital breakdown is neither new nor peculiar to our age. As one author has said: "The breakdown of marriage with provisions for divorce and remarriage is a phenomenon widely recognized in Babylonian, Hebrew, Greek and Roman law." Nevertheless, ever since Christianity established a …

Non-Trial Dispositions Of Criminal Offenders: A Case Study, Nancy S. Warder, David C. Zalk

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A number of pre-trial diversion projects, similar to CPA, funded either by the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration or by the United States Department of Labor, have been set up in recent years in a number of cities around the country. Many are modeled after the Vera Institute's Manhattan Court Employment Project in New York and Project Crossroads in Washington, D.C. While the programs are not entirely identical in operation, hopefully this discussion of some of the legal issues involved in non-trial disposition of criminal offenders will be of use outside the immediate confines of the CPA situation. Ultimately the continued …

The Law Farm - 1984, Alfred F. Conard

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Extracts from an address delivered to the Southeastern Conference of Law Schools at Charlottesville, Virginia, August 23 1971, by Professor Conard, President of the Association of American Law Schools.

To address this Southeastern Conference of Law Schools in Charlottesville imposes a responsibility which is unique in my experience. Hovering over this campus is the spirit of the fathers of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States...

We have been engaged today in the consideration of the provocative models of a two-year curriculu, and a clinical third year. We have probably fallen into the old rut of …

A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

It is not really surprising that so much attention has recently been given to the gross disparity in White v. Black participation in the legal profession. Indeed, the question of quality participation by Black lawyers is an irrelevant consideration until there is a real commitment to give Blacks equal access to the formerly all-white legal educational institutions. In examining the nature of this heretofore obvious (but only recently acknowledged) problem of Black underrepresentation within our society? (3) What must be done by the legal profession not only to alleviate the negative impact of such a shortage, but also to enhance …

An American Lawyer In The Queen's Courts: Impressions Of English Civil Procedure, Benjamin Kaplan

Michigan Law Review

While the words "English Civil Procedure" in the title of this lecture might suggest that there is a single English system, there are in fact a number of them. In the High Court itself, the court of general jurisdiction, a suit in Chancery Division proceeds differently from an action in Queen's Bench Division: the English have made less of a fetish of the "one form of action" than we have. Procedure in the County Courts, the courts for small-debt collection and miscellaneous claims, contrasts with those of the High Court. But Queen's Bench procedure for the staple cases of some …

How Does The Law Change? The Case For Legal Research, Jeanne W. Halpern

Miscellaneous Law School History & Publications

Legal research, once synonymous with pretrial investigations, courtroom proceedings, and a rather slavish application of precedent has, since the turn of the century, moved increasingly into university law schools. In so doing, legal research has expanded to include reform, innovation, and vigorous inquiries into the relation of law to the social forces that create it. In the satiric lithograph on the cover, "Les gens de justice" (courtesy of the University of Michigan Museum of Art), Honoré Daumier depicts 19th century lawyers and their "research" as pompous and self-serving. The frontispiece shows the William W. Cook Legal Research Building at the …

Preventive Detention During Riots, Jerold H. Israel

Book Chapters

Various studies of the administration of justice during riots establish that persons arrested during riots generally have been detained for substantially longer periods than persons arrested during nonriot situations. This "extra" period of pretrial detention has been the product of quite different practices in different cities, and these practices have been based on several different administrative policies including, but not limited to, preventive detention.

In several cities, extra-lengthy detention resulted from a general judicial policy of setting extraordinarily high bail for the duration of the riot. A prime example was Detroit, where 70% of the bail initially set was in …

The Basic Course—A Mild Dissent, Whitmore Gray

Articles

Perhaps it is unusual to start a discussion of a topic with a dissent from the assumption underlying its choice, but I think that in the present case this may be justified. The present topic was no doubt selected because for many years teachers have viewed the course in "comparative law" as a basic course, leading subsequently to specialized courses or research in various subject matters or geographical areas. In fact, the other two speakers on this afternoon's program, Professors Rudolf Schlesinger of Cornell and Arthur von Mehren of Harvard, are both on record in the form of their casebooks …

Evidence--Privileged Communications--The Attorney-Client Privilege In The Corporate Setting: A Suggested Approach, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will first review the development of the personal attorney-client privilege and the extent to which the term "client" has been expanded for use with that privilege. Then, the development of the corporate attorney-client privilege will be examined with an eye toward isolating the tests that the courts have used to define the extent of the term "client." Finally, with the results of these examinations in mind, an approach will be suggested that, if adopted by the courts, could effectively eliminate the confusion that presently exists with regard to the scope of the attorney-client privilege in the corporate setting.
