Revocation Of Conditional Liberty For The Commission Of A Crime: Double Jeopardy And Self-Incrimination Limitations, Michigan Law Review
Revocation Of Conditional Liberty For The Commission Of A Crime: Double Jeopardy And Self-Incrimination Limitations, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Persons on deferred sentence, probation, or parole who arguably violate the criminal law may face two proceedings: a hearing to revoke their conditional liberty and a criminal trial. The possibility of two proceedings raises at least two major constitutional questions. First, are the defendant's rights under the double jeopardy or due process clauses violated if the state holds two inquiries into the alleged criminal act? Second, is the defendant's privilege against self-incrimination abridged if the revocation hearing is held before the criminal trial?
Some Observations On The Disposition Of Ccw Cases In Detroit, Michigan Law Review
Some Observations On The Disposition Of Ccw Cases In Detroit, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Part I of this Note details the disposition of cases alleging violations of the Michigan CCW statute that were brought in the Detroit recorder's court during 1973. Although the statute is only part of the current scheme of gun control in Michigan, it is the principal weapon available to the police and prosecutor in the preventive battle against the illegal use of firearms. To give meaning to the dispositional statistics and to aid in perceiving the over-all judicial attitude toward CCW cases, the statistical results of the study are compared with statistics on the disposition of cases involving felonies similar …

Proportional Representation By Race: The Constitutionality Of Benign Racial Redistricting, Michigan Law Review
Proportional Representation By Race: The Constitutionality Of Benign Racial Redistricting, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Wilson raises two questions that are basic to the use of "benign" racial classifications in drawing legislative districts. First, is there a constitutional right to proportional representation and, second, if there is no such right, are there circumstances under which a scheme devised to provide proportional representation is constitutionally permissible. This Note will demonstrate that, while the Supreme Court recognizes the constitutional right of each individual to participate on an equal basis in the community's political process and to enjoy an undiluted vote, it denies any constitutional right of groups to proportional political representation. It will then show that the …
Freedom Of The Press And Public Access: Toward A Theory Of Partial Regulation Of The Mass Media, Lee C. Bollinger Jr.
Freedom Of The Press And Public Access: Toward A Theory Of Partial Regulation Of The Mass Media, Lee C. Bollinger Jr.
Michigan Law Review
The purpose of this article is to examine critically these decisions and to explore whether there is any rational basis for limiting to one sector of the media the legislature's power to impose access regulation. The article takes the position that the Court has pursued the right path for the wrong reasons. There is a powerful rationality underlying the current decision to restrict regulatory authority to broadcasting, but it is not, as is commonly supposed, that broadcasting is somehow different in principle from the print media and that it therefore is not deserving of equivalent first amendment treatment. As will …

Compulsory Process Ii, Peter Westen
Compulsory Process Ii, Peter Westen
Michigan Law Review
This Article examines the validity of the conventional wisdom. It draws support for its analysis from the constitutional principles of compulsory process, and, in their absence, from related doctrine in the areas of a defendant's right to confront witnesses against him and his right to a fair trial. Part I of the article defines the constitutional standard that governs the simple case of a nonindigent defendant who makes a timely application to produce a witness from within the territory of the jurisdiction. Parts II through IV, in turn, examine that standard in the light of complicating factors such as the …

The Extraterritorial Scope Of Nepa's Environmental Impact Statement Requirement, Michigan Law Review
The Extraterritorial Scope Of Nepa's Environmental Impact Statement Requirement, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note analyzes the extent to which NEPA's section 102(2) procedural requirements, specifically the impact statement requirement of section 102(2) (C), apply to federal agencies in their activities abroad. After determining that Congress does possess the authority to extend the requirements of NEPA to all federal agency actions, and that legislative intent will thus control the territorial scope of these requirements, consideration will be given to the presumption against the extraterritorial application of congressional enactments. It will be concluded that a "clear statement" of congressional intent is not required in the case of NEPA and that the scope of the …
Private Causes Of Action Under Section 206 Of The Investment Advisers Act, Michigan Law Review
Private Causes Of Action Under Section 206 Of The Investment Advisers Act, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines the propriety of implying a cause of action for damages under section 206. Upon concluding that such an implication is appropriate, it then suggests a scope for section 206 actions that implements the Act's underlying purposes.
Service Of Process By Mail, Michigan Law Review
Service Of Process By Mail, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines the operation of the return-receipt requirement and concludes that, in light of the procedures available to a defendant to challenge service and to reopen default judgments entered against him, the requirement of a signed receipt is unduly harsh on plaintiffs. In the course of this examination, the Note details the means by which a defendant can avoid service by mail in a return-receipt jurisdiction and explains the operation of the various motions to challenge service of process, which, it is asserted, can protect the defendant as well as a return-receipt requirement.
Preferential Remedies For Employment Discrimination, Harry T. Edwards, Barry L. Zaretsky
Preferential Remedies For Employment Discrimination, Harry T. Edwards, Barry L. Zaretsky
Michigan Law Review
A basic thesis of this article is that much of the current concern about alleged "reverse discrimination" in employment ignores the reality of the situation. In Part I it will be contended that although color blindness is a laudable long-run objective, it alone will not end discrimination; thus, it will be argued that some form of "color conscious" affirmative action must be employed in order to achieve equal employment opportunity for minorities and women. The most effective form of affirmative action is temporary preferential treatment, and it will be asserted in Part II that such relief can be justified under …
British Wildlife Law Before The American Revolution: Lessons From The Past, Thomas A. Lund
British Wildlife Law Before The American Revolution: Lessons From The Past, Thomas A. Lund
Michigan Law Review
Early legislation may excite the condescending interest ·that Dr. Johnson directed toward a dog walking on its hind legs: "It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all." British wildlife law, however, merits more respect. As long ago as the Middle Ages, man's appetite for meat endowed legislators with at least an ambling competence at wildlife management. Nor has the passage of time made their efforts wholly irrelevant. Early methods of controlling habitat, for example, may still be appropriate since historical change has not altered the needs of animals as it has those of …
The Impact Of Michigan's Common-Law Disabilities Of Coverture On Married Women's Access To Credit, Michigan Law Review
The Impact Of Michigan's Common-Law Disabilities Of Coverture On Married Women's Access To Credit, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In the United States, credit is indispensable to the improvement of one's economic status and life style. Its availability often dictates •the extent to which one has access to education, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and investment, and its unobtainability inhibits full participation in the activities and opportunities of American society. American women have long been systematically excluded from equal access to credit by lending institutions of all types and ·thus have been denied their rightful role in the economic life of the country. It is only recently, however, that the women's movement has begun to focus attention on credit discrimination and that …

This Note first outlines the basic characteristics of the counteraction strategy and considers the implications of its future proliferation and then analyzes proposals to eliminate or ameliorate the impact of the strategy in terms of their effectiveness and practicability.
The Judicial Public Policy Doctrine In Tax Litigation, Michigan Law Review
The Judicial Public Policy Doctrine In Tax Litigation, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note evaluates the merits of Revenue Ruling 74-323. First, it asserts that, while not arbitrary, the Service's resolution of the preemption issue was not mandated by the language of amended section 162 or by the relevant legislative history. Second, it maintains that it is both appropriate and procedurally feasible to apply the judicial public policy doctrine to violations of federal civil rights laws that impose no fine, imprisonment, loss of license, or other criminal penalty. The denial of a deduction in this situation would extend the public policy doctrine beyond both section 162(c)(2) and the judicial doctrine as it …

Rezoning By Amendment As An Administrative Or Quasi-Judicial Act: The "New Look" In Michigan Zoning, Roger A. Cunningham
Rezoning By Amendment As An Administrative Or Quasi-Judicial Act: The "New Look" In Michigan Zoning, Roger A. Cunningham
Michigan Law Review
The traditional view in zoning law has been that the enactment of an original zoning ordinance and any amendments thereto by a local governing body is a "legislative" act, as contrasted with the granting of a "special exception" or a "variance" by the zoning board of appeals (or board of adjustment), which is an "administrative" or "quasi-judicial" act. Recently, however, the Oregon and Washington supreme courts have challenged this view, concluding that, under some circumstances at least, the enactment of a zoning amendment should be considered an "administrative" or "quasi-judicial" act, and thus subject to more extensive judicial review. Although …

Ex Post Facto Limitations On Legislative Power, Michigan Law Review
Ex Post Facto Limitations On Legislative Power, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note explores the rationale underlying the prohibition of ex post facto laws and formulates an analytic framework for a more principled application .of the prohibition. This analytic framework is then used, first, to critique the present strict application of the prohibition to changes in criminal "punishments" and determine whether the prohibition should be applied to sanctions imposed outside the criminal context, and, second, to determine the degree to which the prohibition should be applied to procedural changes.
The Future Of Sentencing Reform: Emerging Legal Issues In The Individualization Of Justice, John C. Coffee Jr.
The Future Of Sentencing Reform: Emerging Legal Issues In The Individualization Of Justice, John C. Coffee Jr.
Michigan Law Review
This article will focus on the mechanics of the individualization process: the manner in which dispositional information is collected, the quality of the resulting data, and the methodologies employed for its communication to and assessment by correctional decision makers. This focus is important because another distinctive feature of the American criminal justice system is the severity of the sentences it imposes. Not only is the average length of sentences imposed on American offenders far in excess of that imposed in other Western nations, but there is considerable evidence that the average length of sentences has increased in direct response to …
Constitutional Restraints On The Exclusion Of Evidence In The Defendant's Favor: The Implications Of Davis V. Alaska, Michigan Law Review
Constitutional Restraints On The Exclusion Of Evidence In The Defendant's Favor: The Implications Of Davis V. Alaska, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note, first, examines the Davis methodology for determining whether a foreclosed line of cross-examination warrants protection by the confrontation clause, and suggests a test employable by reviewing courts for making that determination. Then, the Note sketches the contours of the clash, prefigured by Davis, between the right of confrontation and the limitations on cross-examination that result from both the assertion of testimonial privileges and trial court relevance rulings.

Government Information And The Rights Of Citizens, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Project delineates the federal and state responses to these two fundamental societal concerns. The course of the discussion suggests the vitality of these concerns, and the flexibility and continuing development of the governmental responses. Clearly, the interests in maximizing disclosure of government-held information and minimizing the handling and dissemination of unnecessary or inaccurate personal information can conflict. The contours of this conflict, only intimated herein, will doubtless become more bold with the maturation of the opposing statutory schemes.
Creditor Setoffs In Bankruptcy Reorganizations: An Analysis Of Baker V. Gold Seal Liquors, Inc., Michigan Law Review
Creditor Setoffs In Bankruptcy Reorganizations: An Analysis Of Baker V. Gold Seal Liquors, Inc., Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
In an action between a debtor and a creditor, the debtor may seek to reduce his liability by pleading counterclaims. A permissive counterclaim-any claim against the creditor not arising out of the transaction or occurrence that is the subject matter of the creditor's claim--is typically termed a "setoff" to the extent that it does not involve affirmative relief. If the debtor is insolvent and seeks bankruptcy relief, setoffs may result in priorities whereby one creditor gains preference in the distribution of the debtor's estate over other creditors of the same class or even of a superior class. For example, if …

Post-Conviction Review In The Federal Courts For The Service-Member Not In Custody, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines the availability of nonhabeas federal court review for those convicted by courts-martial. Part I discusses the function of such review and suggests a scope of review that would serve that function without unduly burdening the federal courts; Part II sketches the evolution of nonhabeas review and analyzes the jurisdictional problems surrounding its present status; Part III recommends statutory and judicial changes to make the review of courts-martial more equitable and efficient.
