Supreme Court, Complete Justice And Article 142: Scope For Unlimited Judicial Action, Harish Bn, Protima Pandey Jan 1995

Supreme Court, Complete Justice And Article 142: Scope For Unlimited Judicial Action, Harish Bn, Protima Pandey

National Law School of India Review

If there is one article of the Constitution which has been the focus of attention within the legal community in recent years, it is Article 142. This provision of the Constitution is being increasingly resorted to by the apex court in all matters before it, where there is a need for judicial activism. Though one cannot object to the use of a power granted by the Constitution, one is really surprised that this article has neither attracted views of legal scholars in recent times, nor did it provoke any great debate in the Constituent Assembly. Interestingly, a factor to note …

The Pentagon Papers, Mike Gartner

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The case New York Times Co. v. United States was a landmark case that involved the right of a free press and the fundamental First Amendment rights of the American People. What follows is an exploration into this case and how it reached the Supreme Court. First we will examine a brief history of what became to be known as the "Pentagon Papers" and finally look into each decision reached in the federal courts, and of course the decision of the Supreme Court.


Bowers V. Hardwick: Diverging Interpretations, Warren D. Leishman Jan 1995

Bowers V. Hardwick: Diverging Interpretations, Warren D. Leishman

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

Rarely does the serving of a simple misdemeanor warrant result in a case tried before the highest court in the land, but this is what happened to Michael Hardwick in August, 1982. Police officers arriving at his house were let in by a houseguest who led the policemen to the bedroom. At this point they stumbled upon Hardwick engaged in a sexual act with another man, an act which, under Georgia Code 16-6-2, constituted sodomy and was thus punishable "by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than twenty years." Michael Hardwick was arrested and charged, the first such …


The Legacy Of The Brown Decision, Abbie Froerer Jan 1995

The Legacy Of The Brown Decision, Abbie Froerer

Brigham Young University Prelaw Review

The landmark case regarding school desegregation, Brown v. Board o/ Education of Topeka, was brought by Oliver Brown on behalf of his daughter Linda. Under Kansas law, cities with populations over 15,000 were permitted, but not required, to provide two separate school facilities for white and colored students (Kansas. Gen. Stat. §72- 1724, 1949). Topeka chose to segregate its elementary schools. Consequently, Linda was forced to walk twenty blocks to attend an all-black grade school rather than attend the all-white one in her neighborhood. Several other black families joined the Browns in pursuing their goal.

The Four Doctrines Of Self-Executing Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez Jan 1995

The Four Doctrines Of Self-Executing Treaties, Carlos Manuel Vázquez

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

A distinction has become entrenched in United States law between treaties that are "self-executing" and those that are not. The precise nature of this distinction--indeed, its very existence--is a matter of some controversy and much confusion. More than one lower federal court has pronounced the distinction to be the "most confounding" in the United States law of treaties. A tremendous amount of scholarship has sought to clarify this distinction, but the honest observer cannot but agree with John Jackson's observation that " [t]he substantial volume of scholarly writing on this issue has not yet resolved the confusion" surrounding it. The …


Sign Regulation After Ladue: Examining The Evolving Limits Of First Amendment Protection, Mark W. Cordes Jan 1995

Sign Regulation After Ladue: Examining The Evolving Limits Of First Amendment Protection, Mark W. Cordes

Faculty Articles, Papers, and Other Scholarship

This article examines the law of sign and billboard regulations, with particular attention to the dual concerns noted by the U.S. Supreme Court in City of Ladue v. Gilleo of restricting "too much" speech and restricting "too little." It addresses three general issues surrounding the permissible limits of sign and billboard regulation. In particular, it examines 1) the extent to which a municipality must accommodate signs or billboards, 2) the permissible limits of content-neutral yet under-inclusive restrictions on signs and billboards, and 3) the extent to which municipalities can create content-based distinctions in sign and billboard regulation. The Article further …
