The Moral Element In Supreme Court Decisions, Samuel E. Stumpf

Vanderbilt Law Review

Does the United States Supreme Court decide cases on the basis of moral and ethical value judgments? Such a question may reveal a misunderstanding of the nature of law as well as the nature of the judicial process. Moreover, to expect the Court to roam in the field of morals may indicate a failure to take into account the limitations placed upon the Court both by our federal system and by the division of powers. Indeed, a reading of the Supreme Court decisions for the past twenty years reveals a manful resistance on the part of the judges to intrude …

Congress Or The Courts As Final Arbiter In Tax Disputes?, William J. Bowe

Vanderbilt Law Review

During the last two years the Supreme Court of the United States has handed down only five income tax opinions. The box score stands four for the Government, one for the taxpayer. None of the cases involved modifications in fundamental concepts of tax law or resulted in major policy changes in the administration of the fiscal system. The record for the taxpayer is far more impressive in the Congress than it is in the courts. As will be pointed out later Congress rather than the Supreme Court is tending to become the final arbiter in tax disputes. Problems that were …

The Role Of The Privy Council In Judicial Review Of The Canadian Constitution--A Post-Script, Edward Mcwhinney

Vanderbilt Law Review

In its Preamble, the Constitution of Canada speaks of the desire of the Provinces of Canada to be "federally united into one Dominion under the Crown of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, with a Constitution similar in principle to that of the United Kingdom." Historically, then, the Constitution of Canada like the Constitution of the United States, stems from a compact between a number of different territorial units: the Provinces of Lower Canada (Quebec), Upper Canada (Ontario), and the two eastern maritime Provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brtnswick, joined together in 1867 to form the new …

State Statutes And The Full Faith And Credit Clause -- Hughes V. Fetter, Jay A. Hanover

Vanderbilt Law Review

The full faith and credit clause of the Constitution' has commonly been regarded as concerned only with the enforcement of foreign judgments between the states of the Union. The numerous cases which have come before the Supreme Court have dealt almost exclusively with the "judicial Proceedings" phrase of the clause, while the words "public Acts" and "Records" have been, for the most part, left untapped as a source of decisional law. It has only been in recent years that the Supreme Court has broadened its approach by applying the full faith and credit clause to the legislative acts of the …

Intrinsic And Extrinsic Fraud And Relief Against Judgments, Harold C. Dedman

Vanderbilt Law Review

Closely akin to the doctrine of res adjudicata is that which will not allow a court of equity to grant relief against a fraudulently acquired judgment unless the fraud is shown to have been "extrinsic" or collateral rather than "intrinsic" fraud. According to this rule, to warrant equitable relief against a judgment on the ground of fraud, it must appear that the fraud was practiced in the very act of obtaining the judgment. Relief is granted on the theory that through fraud extrinsic and collateral to the actual proceedings before the court, the unsuccessful party has been prevented from fully …

The Study Of Jurisprudence-A Letter To A Hostile Student, Samuel Mermin

Michigan Law Review

The value to the law student of a course in jurisprudence has long been a question mark-and to the teachers as well as the students. The students have not been prompted by self-interest, as the teachers have, to come up with plausible erasures of the question mark. Most students, as you did, find the course esoteric, murky and impractical. The teachers, however, many of whom are mercifully unaware of the student reaction, have found sufficient justification for the course on various grounds which I think I can briefly summarize.

Faces On The Court House Steps, A. F. Neumann

Michigan Law Review

Judge Frank may one day write a book which it will be possible to take or leave, but I doubt it. Few writers, with his ability and insight in the field of administration of justice, I suppose, succeed in evoking in their readers the spirited reactions that his writings produce. This is the highest praise that any reader can bestow-even though his reaction be a spirited disagreement.

In his most recent book, Courts on Trial, he has attempted to· destroy what he calls "myths" in legal thinking describing the fact-finding process just as he did for the rule determination …

Cbiminal Law--Humanitarian Motive As A Defense To Homicide--State V. Sander, (N.H. 1950)., Theodore Sachs
