Constitutional Law - Commercial Speech - Municipal Ordinance Which Prohibits The Display Of "For Sale" And "Sold" Signs On Residential Property In Order To Prevent Panic Selling Is Constitutional, Mary M. Popper

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This case note examines the United States Third Circuit Court of Appeals' decision in Linmark Associates, Inc. v. Township of Willingboro, 535 F.2d 786 (3d Cir.), cert. granted, 97 S. Ct. 351 (1976), upholding the constitutionality of an ordinance prohibiting the display of "for sale" and "sold" signs on residential property. The Third Circuit held that the signs were primarily commercial speech and since neither message contained comment on social policy, political protest, or similar elements of pure speech, the governmental interests forwarded by the ordinance sufficiently outweighed any infringement on first amendment rights. The case note finds that in …

Note: Using Constitutional Zoning To Neutralize Adult Entertainment - Detroit To New York, Charles T. Fee, Jr.

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In an effort to prevent the spread of businesses specializing in adult entertainment, many cities have utilized zoning ordinances to combat problems in certain neighborhoods. New York City, Boston, and Detroit all have instituted such restrictions. This Note will consider whether the zoning of businesses specializing in adult entertainment is a legitimate exercise of the state's police power, analyzing its potential as a violation of the first amendment and the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment. In addition, the Note will examine the validity of using the twenty-first amendment to regulate adult entertainment businesses that serve alcoholic beverages.

Comments: Linmark Associates, Inc. V. Township Of Willingboro, 97 S. Ct. 1614 (1977) — "For Sale" Signs: The Right To Yell "Fire" In An Integrating Neighborhood?, Russell C. Minkoff, John Bennett Sinclair

University of Baltimore Law Review

In Linmark, the Supreme Court held unconstitutional a ban on "For Sale" and "Sold" lawn signs that was enacted to curb what residents perceived as panic selling by white homeowners. The authors analyze the effect of this case on "For Sale" sign bans that exist in Maryland. The authors also examine the decision in light of other recent commercial speech cases which have established a first amendment interest in the free flow of truthful and legitimate commercial information.

Personal Jurisdiction Over Alien Corporate Parents And Affiliates In Antitrust Actions: A Plea For Perspicuity, William D. Kingery Jr.

Syracuse Journal of International Law and Commerce

The purpose of this Comment is to read the entrails of judicial conceptions which have been sacrificed for reasons of public policy. Antitrust law provides a fertile source of cases which consider these problems. Almost since the passage of the Sherman Act, alien corporations have been sued when acts committed abroad have adversely affected U.S. plaintiffs. The extraterritorial application of antitrust law is well established. In most antitrust cases against corporations, a single sixty-year-old statute governs venue and service of process. There is nevertheless little agreement on its meaning.

After a brief review of the historical background, this Comment will …

Assignment And Subletting Of Leased Premises: The Unreasonable Withholding Of Consent, Jacob L. Todres, Carl M. Lerner

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The law generally does not favor restrictions on the alienability of property and holds that a tenant may assign or sublet a lease, unless the lease specifically provides otherwise. For instance, courts will enforce the parties' bargain, and uphold provisions in a lease that states that it is non-transferable or that it is transferable only upon the landlord's consent. However, if a lease states that the landlord will not unreasonably withhold consent to a transfer of the lease, when is a landlord's refusal to give consent unreasonable? This article examines the common law parameters of determining unreasonableness, and finds that …

Chapters Of The Civil Jury, Doug R. Rendleman

Faculty Publications

The civil jury, though constitutionally protected by the seventh amendment, has remained a controversial institution throughout much of Anglo-American legal history. Our romantic ideals are questioned by critics who view the civil jury as prejudiced and unpredictable; proponents note the sense of fairness and "earthy wisdom" gained by community participation in the legal process. This debate surfaces in the process of accommodation between certain substantive goals of the law and the pre-verdict and post-verdict procedural devices courts have employed to control the jury. In this article, Professor Rendleman examines this conflict in his three "chapters" involving racially motivated discharges of …

Antitrust Implications Arising From The Use Of Overyly Broad Restrictive Covenants For The Protection Of Trade Secrets, Pamela Carder Fletcher

UC Law Journal

Many employers require employees to agree to contractual provisions restricting postemployment disclosure of trade secret information. These contracts, however, are often drafted so as to include information not properly within the scope of trade secret protection. The author examines this problem and, 'after concluding that current judicial treatment is inadequate to protect the interests of employees and the public, suggests an antitrust remedy.

Justice Tobriner And The Tolerance Of Evolving Lifestyles: Adapting The Law To Social Change, Michael A. Willemsen

UC Law Journal

The California Supreme Court has decided many cases arising out of types of conduct that have gained a degree of social acceptance only in recent years - conduct that includes cohabitation of unmarried couples, certain sexual behavior, sex-oriented expression, and marijuana use. The author, focusing on the opinions of Justice Tobriner, analyzes the relationship between social change and judicial decision. The author concludes that Justice Tobriner's philosophy of individual tolerance has influenced the court to approach the legal consequences of evolving lifestyles with sensitivity and tolerance.
