Protecting The Older Worker, H. Patrick Callahan, Charles T. Richardson

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Unlike racial discrimination, age discrimination statutes do not prohibit all forms of discrimination but only those forms that are arbitrary. In this respect age is most analogous to sex as a basis of discrimination: in neither case has a conclusive statutory presumption been made that these factors are irrelevant in an employment situation; in both situations the employer must make his decision to hire or not to hire on the abilities of the individual and not on assumptions, proven or unproven, about the class as a whole. This note considers the extent of arbitrary age discrimination and what measures have …

Attacking Discrimination Through The Thirteenth Amendment, Avery S. Friedman

Cleveland State Law Review

The inadequate avenues of direct relief available to those groups that have been discriminated against have been a cause of frustration and a source of alienation leading in certain instances to violence. The inability of our legal system to assure equal job opportunity has contravened the very essence of the thirteenth amendment of the United States Constitution prohibiting slavery.

Indigents, Hospital Admissions And Equal Protection, Charles S. Derousie

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The author surveyed ten hospitals in each of ten states, including hospitals of varying sizes and classifications. Five of the forty-five replies indicated the hospital did not admit all indigents in need of medical care. The primary reason given was that prospective patients not covered by hospital insurance or government programs such as Medicaid or Medicare were usually unable to produce a required preadmission deposit. This practice of requiring a preadmission deposit seems to be common.

A Suggested Legislative Device For Dealing With Abuses Of Criminal Records, Walter W. Steele Jr.

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

There are pitfalls apparent in ameliorating the overuse of criminal records. For example, techniques of expunging, sealing, and limiting access do not affect legal status. No amount of expunging, or sealing, or limiting access is truly useful unless civil rights, such as the right to vote, are restored as well. Another problem is the inherent breadth of a criminal record, which can involve acts or allegations of acts ranging from traffic offenses to murder or rape. Thus, it is difficult to draw precise guidelines delineating those parts of the record which may be legitimately used. The apparently illegitimate use of …

Facially Neutral Criteria And Discrimination Under Title Vii: "Built-In Headwinds" Or Permissible Practices?, Dianne Brou Fraser

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article discusses how Title VII affects the operation of these facially neutral practices and attempts to determine when such practices are unlawful under Title VII. It also discusses the possible effects of the Equal Employment Opportunity Act of 1972 on this problem.

Narrowing The Scope Of The Bona Fide Occupational Qualification Exception-Sex Discrimination In Professional Baseball Runs Afoul Of The Law

University of Richmond Law Review

"Should a gentleman offer a lady a Tiparillo?" Such a question, popu- larized in a familiar advertisement only a few years ago, gives one keen insight into the stereotyped roles accepted for men and women during the past decade. In sharp relief today, women's liberation groups would have one believe that a man need not offer a woman anything; if she wants something, it is hers for the taking. Indeed, a recent national convention of hardcore feminists, echoing this aggressive attitude and citing that women compose fifty-three per cent of the nation's population, have warned that they intend to capture …

Alternatives To Civil Commitment Of The Mentally Ill: Practical Guides And Constitutional Imperatives, David L. Chambers

Articles

In 1930, Ford sold Fords only in black and states offered treatment for mental illness only in public mental hospitals. Today, new views of mental health care and mental health problems have begotten a galaxy of new treatment settings. Few cities can boast community-based programs sufficient to meet their needs, but almost all cities of any size rely increasingly on outpatient programs. The large public mental hospitals still stand, of course. Indeed, every year more people enter public hospitals than entered the year before. Over 400,000 Americans were admitted as inpatients to state and county mental hospitals last year.1 Partly …

Blacks, Due Process And Efficiency In The Clash Of Values As The Supreme Court Moves To The Right, Henry Mcgee

Faculty Articles

Professor McGee examines the move by the Supreme Court to limit rights for minority defendants. Led by its law enforcement-oriented Chief Justice, an emerging majority of the Court has managed to reverse or seriously abridge precedents - both recent and time-honored - which ensured some fairness for minority defendants. Professor McGee addresses the implications of these decisions, and how they have affected due process for Black defendants.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Black citizens of Tate County, Mississippi, brought suit' seeking rescission of the County Board of Education's sale of a public school to a foundation that used the property to establish a private, segregated academy. Respondent, Tate County Board of Education, had determined that the continued operation of the dilapidated school would be uneconomical and had conveyed the property to a private citizen without knowing the purpose for which the school was to be used. The purchaser later conveyed the property to the Tate County Foundation, which established a private, segregated academy. Petitioners contended that the sale violated the equal protection …

Searching For The Intent Of The Framers Of Fourteenth Amendment , Robert J. Kaczorowski

Faculty Scholarship

IN 1946 JUSTICE HUGO BLACK DECLARED that one of the objects of the fourteenth amendment was to apply the Bill of Rights to the States. He was confident that an analysis of the intent of the framers of the amendment would support his assertion. A few years later the Supreme Court requested such an investigation, but when the analysis was made and the results presented to it, the Supreme Court concluded that the framers' intent could not be determined. The uncertainty surrounding the intent of the framers of the fourteenth amendment has had profound implications on the application of that …
