Alcoholism As A Medicolegal Problem, John M. Macdonald
Alcoholism As A Medicolegal Problem, John M. Macdonald
Cleveland State Law Review
Medico-legal aspects of alcoholism include determination ofcriminal responsibility, medical evaluation of drunken drivers, interpretation of chemical tests of intoxication and the involuntary commitment of alcoholics to mental hospitals. The policymaking functions of attorneys, both in public positions such as membership in the legislature, and in private practice demand knowledge of the origins, course and social consequences of the disease.

In view of all the controversy surrounding this topic, it is interesting to review the history of the death penalty in Ohio, in other states, and elsewhere in the world.
Freedom From Obscenity, Norman A. Erbe, Arlo F. Craig Jr.
Freedom From Obscenity, Norman A. Erbe, Arlo F. Craig Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
Interest in obscenity laws, in the reason and purpose for their being, their efficacy in achieving the ends for which they are intended, the threat their existence and enforcement pose to the freedoms of speech and press, and the attitude of the courts toward them, seems to be at a new high. Obscenity is universally condemned throughout the United States. Yet law enforcement officers who attempt to enforce obscenity laws invariably are accused of "censoring" and "book burning."' A good many of such charges come from persons whose ox is being gored-persons who have a pecuniary interest in having obscenity …
Lawyer Meets Forensic Pathologist, George E. Hall
Lawyer Meets Forensic Pathologist, George E. Hall
Cleveland State Law Review
Forensic medicine is that part of medical science which is employed by the legal authorities for the solution of legal problems. Theoretically all branches of medicine may be included in this definition, for the law has used them all when need has arisen, and any doctor who testifies in court in his professional capacity can be considered a practitioner of legal medicine. The forensic pathologist is a trained pathologist who concentrates his efforts on the investigation of deaths which have occurred as result of violence or under suspicious circumstances.

Proximate Cause As A Primary Element Of Fraud, Karl P. Seuthe
Proximate Cause As A Primary Element Of Fraud, Karl P. Seuthe
Cleveland State Law Review
The legal criterion by which fraudulent or predatory motivation is judged is not the "conscience" of the actor. Rather the external manifestations of conscience constitute the test of this motivation. Conduct, rather than subjective thought, is most frequently the standard or test employed by the community. In modern legal systems, conduct is of small significance unless it has some outward consequence which is actually or potentially harmful to the actor or others; fraud is such a consequence.

Prenatal Injuries, Andrew L. Johnson Jr.
Prenatal Injuries, Andrew L. Johnson Jr.
Cleveland State Law Review
Our courts have been increasingly perplexted by the question of whether or not an infant should have a right of action for personal injuries negligently caused to its body prior to birth. Stated another way, does an infant while in its mother's womb have an interest in the freedom from invasion of its bodily security equivalent to and commensurate with that of a person already born?
Purposeful Reforms In Criminal Law, Lee E. Skeel
Purposeful Reforms In Criminal Law, Lee E. Skeel
Cleveland State Law Review
What is the relation of the Office of the County Prosecutor or District Attorney to the job of public law enforcement? It is true that the county prosecutor's office has much to do with the civil practice of the law as the legal representative of the county Government, including public boards and commissions. Yet, may it ever be remembered, the proper enforcement of the public or criminal law is a matter of great importance to every resident of the community. It is important not only to protect the safety of the community from unlawful disturbances and aggressions against the peace …

Two Views On The Federal Narcotics Law Problem: I - Suggestion To Facilitate Apprehension And Conviction Of Narcotic Law Violators, Sumner Canary
Two Views On The Federal Narcotics Law Problem: I - Suggestion To Facilitate Apprehension And Conviction Of Narcotic Law Violators, Sumner Canary
Cleveland State Law Review
There are three principal aspects to the enforcement of narcotic laws. They are: (1) the apprehension of the criminal; (2) the prosecution of the offender; and (3) the sentencing of a convicted offender. The United States Attorney is concerned primarily with the prosecution of cases which are prepared by other agencies and presented to him. For the most part, the prosecution of narcotic cases is relatively simple because there is little sympathy on the part of any juror for criminals of this type. Most narcotics come from foreign countries and come into the United States at seaports. Today most narcotics …

Two Views On The Federal Narcotics Law Problem: Ii - Need For An Effective Treatment And Education Program In The Federal Narcotics Law, Howard W. Jordan
Cleveland State Law Review
Our interest in the extent and nature of the narcotics problem stems from our experience as a social worker and probation officer over a number of years in trying to supervise narcotic users on probation. However, our interest was crystallized in 1951 at the increased number of such cases appearing in our court since 1950, and we became genuinely alarmed. As a result of staff discussion and interest, we were authorized by the chief probation officer, Richard J. McManus, to study this problem and to conduct a preliminary survey of the problem in the State of Ohio. The study pointed …
Illicit Narcotics And The Law, John R. Mcginness
Illicit Narcotics And The Law, John R. Mcginness
Cleveland State Law Review
The regulation and control of the use of narcotic drugs has long been recognized as the joint responsibility of the state and federal governments, and co-operation between the two is specifically directed in the Federal Act. The purpose of the Uniform Narcotic Drug Acts of the states is to parallel and supplement the Federal Narcotic Laws. Federal officials, in theory, concentrate on interstate traffickers, and state officials on intrastate violations. In reality, however state and federal agents both co-operate in policing the illicit traffic. The Federal Bureau of Narcotics consists of a force of about 260 men, with which it …
Deportation Based On Criminality Before Entry, Maurice B. Lavine
Deportation Based On Criminality Before Entry, Maurice B. Lavine
Cleveland State Law Review
There are two principal statutory grounds for deportation of aliens based on criminality. First is the restriction against those who committed crimes before coming to these shores. Second is the ground which provides for the expulsion of the undesirable who was welcome when he first applied for admission to the United States but has subsequently committed proscribed acts. The purpose of this article is to examine the first class named above, and to consider proposed legislation on the subject now before the Congress.
