Obscenity: Some Problems Of Values And The Use Of Experts, John P. Frank

Washington Law Review

John P. Frank advances the view that for trial convenience, the complainant should be required to make his prima facie case of obscenity, with the literary merit of the work as an independent affirmative defense. He applauds the recent development by the Supreme Court of the "pandering test" as an element of obscenity, but supports the view of Justices Clark and White that the question of "redeeming social value" should merge in the analysis of the dominant theme of the material—or, he suggests instead, should be an affirmative defense. He considers the functions of experts in obscenity cases, reporting the …

A Revolution In The Law Practice, F. William Mccalpin

Cleveland State Law Review

When I was a boy, there was a popular abbreviated saying, "Comes the revolution," with the usually unsaid, but well understood additive, "Things will be different around here." My suggestion in this writing is that we may well be on the verge of a revolution in the practice of law, and that things may indeed "be different around here" in the practice.

Natural Law Demythologized: A Functional Theory Of Norms For A Revolutionary Epoch, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

Jurisprudence can afford us some insight into whether a particular system is functioning effectively. To do this jurisprudes must extrapolate the aims of the society and then evaluate how effectively its legal system functions to structure social activity so that those aims are realized in an orderly fashion. Jurisprudence is seen, therefore, to be a form of time and motion study on a grand scale. Judgments about the ultimate worth of a given society’s aims are excluded from jurisprudence, however, on the ground that such emotionally charged and ethically relative conclusions cannot be proved by any empirically verifiable scale of …

Science And The Law Symposium: Introduction, David F. Cavers

Michigan Law Review

This symposium reflects a growing concern that, in a period when our society is being rapidly transformed by science and technology, increasing attention be directed to the bearing of this development on law as our society's primary control system. Moreover, since law can exert some influence on the rate and direction of scientific and technological change, the examination must extend as well to the bearing of law on the processes of that change.

Legislation Requiring Child To Support Mother In State Asylum Is A Denial Of Equal Protection-Department Of Mental Hygiene V. Kirchner, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The California Department of Mental Hygiene brought suit under section 6650 of the state's Welfare and Institutions Code, a provision commonly known as a relative support statute, against the administratrix to recover 7,500 dollars from the intestate's estate. This amount represented the cost of food, housing, and treatment received by intestate's mother in a state mental hospital during the four years she had been confined there following a civil sanity hearing. Plaintiff was granted judgment on the pleadings. On appeal to the California Supreme Court, held, reversed. Since mental hospitals serve a proper public function, it is a denial …

Law And Literature--A Comment, Harvey Couch, Iii

Vanderbilt Law Review

The author here examines the ways in which law and literature complement each other; legal settings providing dramatic backdrops to fine literature and literature serving to familiarize lawyers with writing style as well as the moral sentiments of the people expressed in literature. Yet law and literature need not remain distinct entities, but blend together in certain works of such authors as Hand, Camus, and Prettyman, providing, perhaps, the lawyers most enjoyable reading.
