Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The next likely step would have been to look up the statutes and the case that were listed in Florida Law and Practice to find additional information.To find both the statute and corresponding annotations, the student would have used the Florida Statutes Annotated. Since they found the citations for the statute in Florida Law and Practice, there is no need to use the index and the student would go directly to the volume of the set that contained the statute and annotations. At the time, F.S. § 782.10 held that intentionally causing a woman to miscarry would carry …
Conclusion And Fast Forward
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
After analyzing statutes and case law information on abortion in Florida, the student could conclude and state that offering to help a woman obtain an abortion was illegal in the 1960’s and, if a miscarriage subsequently occurred due to aid provided, the person who helped obtain the abortion could be convicted of 3rd degree manslaughter.
In 1973, the Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade established that women had the right to seek an abortion and that states had to balance their ability to regulate health against a woman’s health care decision power and the potentiality of human life. 410 …

The first step in any research process is to create a research strategy and organize your plan. The first step in most legal research is the use of secondary sources in order to gain an overview of a legal issue and to find cases and statutes that discuss the topic. A possible source about the state of the law in Florida on the topic of abortion was Florida Law and Practice.

This document represents an historical research project, from start to finish, as it would have been accomplished during the time Virgil Hawkins was fighting to gain entry into the University of Florida law school. The student would have used print resources to resolve this legal question regarding abortion, a topic about which the law has changed significantly since the time this research would have been performed.

Psychotic Aspects Of Premenstrual Tension, Naoma Lee Stewart
Psychotic Aspects Of Premenstrual Tension, Naoma Lee Stewart
Cleveland State Law Review
What legal conclusions may be drawn from the newly developing medical understanding of premenstrual tension in women, insofar as mental competency and criminal law are concerned? That is the subject of this paper.
Premenstrual Tension In Automobile Accidents, Naoma Lee Stewart
Premenstrual Tension In Automobile Accidents, Naoma Lee Stewart
Cleveland State Law Review
The scope of possible legal problems involved in the existence of this physical and mental dysfunction caused by premenstrual is very wide. For the sake of brevity the writer would like to separate the discussions of criminal and civil responsibility, and make this initial study one which is specifically limited to the civil rights and liabilities of women involved in automobile accidents. It is emphasized that the effects of premenstrual tension in torts are not as clearly pertinent as they are in crimes. But they are pertinent.
Sexual Divisions In Law, Christine Boyle
Sexual Divisions In Law, Christine Boyle
Dalhousie Law Journal
I remember Katherine O'Donovan vividly. She was a young law lecturer at Queen's University Belfast when I was a first-year student there seventeen years ago. Law, on the whole, does not provide a large number of women to stimulate one's aspirations, but Katherine O'Donovan would have been outstanding in any context. She was clever and as beautiful as her name. She has written an outstanding book.

Secondary Sources--Step One In The Research Process
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
The first step in most legal research is to start with secondary sources to gain an overview of a legal issue and to find cases and statutes that discuss the topic. Secondary sources are statements or texts written about the law. A source that was available in the FAMU law library and could have been used to find information about the state of the law in Florida on the topic of abortion was Florida Law and Practice. To find information in Florida Law and Practice, the student would have used the title’s index and looked up the search …
Updating Resources
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
In order to be certain the law that forms the basis of a legal argument or theory is current, it is crucial to update your research. Different resources use different methods, but a common method for treatises is the pocket part, an insert at the back of a book that contains information from after the date the book was published. Consequently, after reading the relevant entries in the main text of the treatise, the student would have looked at the pocket part to determine if there were any new cases or statutory changes that applied.

After finding the entry for abortion in the index, the student would then have gone to the volume and page indicated by the index to read the information provided. Studying the information contained in the entries, the student would have taken notes about statutes and cases that would be used to craft a legal analysis. The statutes on point that are listed by the treatise's entry are Florida Statutes § 782.10 and Florida Statutes § 797.01. The entry also names Eggart v. State as a case that discusses when an individual could be charged with a crime for assisting a …
Florida Law And Practice
Research in Virgil Hawkins' World of Print--Historical Print Research Project No. 1: Abortion
This compendium of Florida law is based on State and Federal decisions arising from Florida Statutes. It is an up to the minute encyclopedia of Florida law and procedure, edited by an exceptionally well qualified and experienced group of Florida lawyers and teachers, who have helped make Florida Law. The text is keyed to Florida publications, practice books and Florida digests.
This document contains limited excerpts from Volume One that apply to the research problem.

Husband And Wife-Consortium Right Of Action In Wife For Negligent Injury To Husband, James B. Taylor
Husband And Wife-Consortium Right Of Action In Wife For Negligent Injury To Husband, James B. Taylor
Cleveland State Law Review
Where the loss of her husband's consortium is the result of personal injuries caused by the mere negligence of a third person, the wife has no cause of action; she did not have such right at common law and no legislation has been enacted to give her this right. Nevertheless, at the same time that this right is denied to the wife, her husband has a cause of action under identical circumstances. In such a case, the gist of the action is the loss of his wife's services, and the right has not been affected by legislation which has abrogated …

Scholarship
This note proposes a reconsideration of the soundness of the theories relied upon by the courts m denying the right of a wife to sue for loss of consortium caused by defendant's negligent conduct toward the husband. While there may be other solutions to the problems involved in actions concerning marital rights, it is intended here only to emphasize the consistently poor reasoning prevalent m the courts today upon which they base their dental to the wife.

Constitutional Law - Validity Of Minimum Wage Legislation Under The Fourteenth Amendment, Jack L. White
Constitutional Law - Validity Of Minimum Wage Legislation Under The Fourteenth Amendment, Jack L. White
Michigan Law Review
A state statute provided that it should be unlawful to employ women at wages not adequate for their maintenance, and established a commission to fix wages according to such a standard after a public hearing and a conference of representatives of employees and employers, and disinterested persons representing the public. The appellee was employed as a chambermaid in the hotel of appellant at less than the minimum wage prescribed, and brought suit to recover the difference between these amounts. The state court gave judgment for the appellee, and on certiorari the Supreme Court held that the statute was valid and …

Domicile Of A Married Woman, The, James L. Parks
Domicile Of A Married Woman, The, James L. Parks
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
Originally the rule was that the domicile of a married woman was that of her husband. It made no difference what the actual facts were, a wife would not be heard to say that she had a separate domicile. This notion was largely due to the law's conception of a married couple as one person, which idea was based on a wife's duty to be with her husband, he in turn being bound to support her.

Change In The Meaning Of Consortium, Evans Holbrook
Articles
LAWYERS have long boasted of the flexibility of the common law, of its ability to adapt itself to the needs of changing conditions of society, of its responsiveness to sociological progress. And while eager reformers have often-and with much reason complained that the law is laggard in its response to the needs of the people, yet it is clear that sooner or later the courts generally bring themselves into accord with "what is sanctioned by usage, or held by the prevailing morality or strong and preponderant public 'opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare." This responsiveness …

Married Women - The Husband's Right To His Wife's Services And To Her Earnings, Evans Holbrook
Married Women - The Husband's Right To His Wife's Services And To Her Earnings, Evans Holbrook
Articles
A Michigan statute passed in 1911 (LAWS OF 1911, ch. 196; COMP. LAWS 1915, § 11478) provided that a married woman should be "entitled to * * * earnings acquired * ** * as the result of her personal efforts." A married woman, before 1911, had worked as housekeeper for X and had continued to work for him after 1911; on his death she filed a claim against his estate for her services during the whole period. Held, she could not recover for the period before 1911, as her services and earnings prior to that date belonged to her husband.

As was to be expected in view of the well-settled doctrine of the Supreme Court that the constitutional grant of power to regulate interstate commerce includes power of control over transportation of persons as well as property, it was held in Hoke v. United States, 227 U. S. 308, 57 L. Ed. 523, 33 Sup. Ct. 281, that the WHITE SLAVE TRAFFIC ACT of 1910 (36 Stat. 825), usually referred to as the MANN ACT, was constitutional. State legislation covering the same ground, it has been held, has been displaced. State v. Harper, 48 Mont. 456, 138 Pac. 495.
