64/09/22 Judge Bernard Friedman's Opinion In State V. Chilton And State V. Terry, Bernard Friedman

Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas

In the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas, Judge Bernard Friedman drew a distinction between "stop and frisk" and "search and seizure." This distinction was also recognized the U.S. Supreme Court in Terry v. Ohio.

Judge Friedman wrote in his opinion:

"A search is primarily for the purpose of trying to obtain evidence in connection with the commission of a crime, that the police officer may reasonably believe that a crime has been committed or might be committed.

A frisking is strictly for the protection of the officer's person and his life. There was reasonable cause in this case …

At a general meeting of the appellant society a resolution was adopted amending a certain provision of its constitution. The respondents, members of the society, sought a declaration that the resolution was void because wives of members had voted thereon although not formally members themselves. The appellant pleaded that the wives had been duly admitted to membership, that it was customary, as throughout the settlement movement, for wives to become members and that the respondents were estopped from denying such membership. The District Court granted the declaration claimed.

Held, granting the appeal, that whilst normally a person did not become …

Translated Opinions

The Attorney-General applied for an order against the applicants to remove their children from a Christian missionary school where they had placed them and to arrange for the children's education in a Jewish school. In those proceedings in the Tel Aviv District Court, the applicants requested that the sitting judge should disqualify himself because he was an orthodox Jew and people might gain the impression that he would therefore not deal with the matter impartially. The judge refused to do so and the applicants moved the Supreme Court to have the hearings transferred to another judge of the Tel Aviv …

Petitioner also alleged that respondent intended to subject him to public shame …

State Action, State Law, And The Private Hospital, Mary Mandana Long

Michigan Law Review

On March 2, 1964, the United States Supreme Court denied a petition to review by certiorari the decision in Simkins v. Moses H. Cone Memorial Hosp. By declining to review the case the Supreme Court left unaffected the holding of the Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit that two private hospitals which had participated in the Hill-Burton program of federal hospital assistance were sufficiently involved with governmental action, both state and federal, to bring their conduct within the fifth and fourteenth amendment prohibitions against racial discrimination. This decision will probably affect all of the 3,346 private, non-profit hospitals in …

Michigan Law Review

On February 15, 1960, the Louisiana Supreme Court affirmed petitioner's conviction for simple burglary. The conviction was obtained through the use of evidence unlawfully seized from petitioner in violation of the fourth amendment of the United States Constitution. In December 1961 the District Court for the Parish of West Feliciana denied petitioner's writ of habeas corpus filed after the Supreme Court decision of Mapp v. Ohio, which forbade introduction at state trials of evidence seized by state officers in violation of the fourth amendment. The denial of the writ was affirmed by the Louisiana Supreme Court, and certiorari was …

Justice Douglas On Freedom In The Welfare State: Constitutional Rights In The Public Sector [Part 1], Hans Linde

Washington Law Review

Twenty-five years, in constitutional law, is a long enough span that at its end a generation is apt to confront the problems created by its solutions to the tasks it inherited at the beginning. In the years before Mr. Justice Douglas took his seat on the Supreme Court in 1939, the attention of the whole nation had been held by an epic of constitutional history—the decision whether American government had the constitutional power to cope with the economic and social crisis of a breakdown in the private economy. In 1937, the Supreme Court had unlocked the federal arsenal. The previous …

Child Custody In A Federal System, Leonard G. Ratner

Michigan Law Review

Among the most difficult of judicial functions is the determination of a child's custody after its parents have separated. The difficulties are acute enough when all the parties remain in the same place; when the parties are in different states, an additional perplexing problem arises as to which state should have authority to make the custody decision. This broad question can be resolved into three distinct though interrelated issues: (1) what state may initially determine custody; (2) what state may later modify that determination; (3) to what extent is such a determination binding on other states.

The Establishment Syndrome And Religious Liberty, John E. Dunsford

Duquesne Law Review

Seventeen years have passed since the Supreme Court chose the establishment clause of the First Amendment as the preferred reed through which to breathe modern relevance into an 18th century formulation of church-state relationships. Prior to 1947 the Court "had seldom undertaken to supply content to that part of the first amendment concerned with separation."' With the Everson decision, a period opened in which the commodious dimensions of the establishment concept invited the legal soul to trace out that grand design which presumably must distinguish and exalt the American understanding of the place of religion in society. Almost to a …

Fare Ye Well: Right To Be Let Alone, Louis J. Grippo

Duquesne Law Review

A recent case in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia has raised a very important question concerning one of our well established rights-that is, the right to be let alone. Judge Skelly Wright, acting singly, has decided that a young adult member of the Jehovah's Witnesses should be given a blood transfusion over her objection-her refusal being based upon her religious beliefs.

Constitutional Law - Right To Counsel, Robert S. Barker

Duquesne Law Review

Use of defendant's incriminating statements, surreptitiously procured by government agents after indictment and in the absence of defendant's counsel, violates defendant's constitutional rights under the fifth and sixth amendments.
