Legal, Medical And Psychiatric Considerations In The Control Of Prostitution, B. J. George Jr.

Michigan Law Review

In common with other nations of the world the United States today as in the past is faced with the problem of controlling prostitution, particularly in urban areas. At one time or another states and cities in the United States have experimented with the classic methods of controlling prostitution: reglementation, segregation and repression. Reglementation of individual houses or prostitutes has never been carried out on a statewide basis in any state in the United States, though one can find instances in certain large cities in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in which city ordinances or de facto police regulations …

Soviet Legal Institutions: Doctrines And Social Functions, Kazimierz Grzybowski

Michigan Legal Studies Series

This book represents the highlight of a career of scholarship by its author and a most significant contribution to the literature, which will bring to those who seek it an understanding of the role law plays in Soviet Russia. More important, it will bring that understanding in a comparative context which sharpens the impact and compels a careful analysis of the social function legal institutions perform in both systems. Though Soviet jurists may deny the validity of comparative methodology as applied to the Soviet legal order, the analysis which is here presented proves not only that comparisons are possible but …

The Moment Of Truth: Probability Theory And Standards Of Proof, V. C. Ball

Vanderbilt Law Review

Specialists in all the fields involved agree that the process of proof and persuasion in judicial proceedings presents problems in the application of probability theory and communication theory. When the broader term "information" is used, the problems coalesce, both in judicial trials and in other human affairs. In jury trials, one focus of this coalescence is the formulation for the jury of issues of fact to be decided by them, and their progress to verdict or disagreement.

Although Cicero asserted that probability is the very guide of life,and Thomas Jefferson thought mathematical reasoning and deductions were a fine preparation for …

Constitutional Law - Equal Protection - Racial Discrimination And The Role Of The State, William C. Griffith S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Constitutional history from the 1857 Dred Scott decision to the 1954 Brown decision records "a movement from status to contract" for the American Negro. Although uncertainty clouds the definition of "state action," the civil rights of the Negro under the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment have been clearly established. The Negro citizen has arrived; the Negro minority group remains one of the gravest social problems of twentieth century America. De facto school segregation, limited economic opportunity, and inadequate housing are problems not solved by invocation of the fourteenth amendment or incantation of the Declaration of Independence. Solution, …

Four Eighteenth Century Theories Of Justice, Clarence Morris

Vanderbilt Law Review

This paper is about an important facet of the justice theories of four eighteenth century European philosophers. The earliest of the four, Hume, thought justice and law were purely human inventions. The next, Montesquieu, said that justice preceded laws because possible relations of justice existed before human ordinances were enacted, and that man, who lives peacefully in the state of nature, invents unjust exploitation after he enters a state of society. Then followed Rousseau who pronounced that contemporary governments had enchained freedom and subverted justice, and whenever a just government did come to power its excellence was doomed to fade. …

The Pure Theory Of Law, Reginald Parker

Vanderbilt Law Review

There is hardly a theory of law about which there exists so much confusion in the minds of so many scholars as about Hans Kelsen's theory, which is commonly known under the name "Pure Theory of Law." If, for instance, a scholar of the stature and standing of Professor Northrop maintains that Kelsen locates the basic norm of the Austrian Constitution of 1920 "in the earliest Constitution of 1867,"'then it seems that there is still room, indeed an intellectual demand, for a brief and simple exposition of Kelsen's theory. We shall attempt it in the following article not without avoiding …

Justice, Language And Communication, Julius Stone, G. Tarello

Vanderbilt Law Review

The present paper has been concerned to stress that jurisprudence, insofar as it is not limited to analytical jurisprudence, dare not overlook the distinctive qualities either of common language, or of the special language of lawyers. For what its authors deny above all is the utility of so defining a field--like the justice-field--which is a segment of common language, in terms of a special language or logical structuring similar to those used by lawyers. Nor do we think that the presence of considerations of justice (and therefore of common language statements) in the process of the operation of law, either …

E. Jordan: Critic And Metaphysician Of Modern Civilization, Andrew J. Reck

Vanderbilt Law Review

Elijah Jordan (1875-1953) was one of the most original social and, legal philosophers in the history of American thought. Jordan spent his life in the midwest, near the rural setting from which he came, serving as professor of philosophy at Butler College in Indianapolis from his appointment in 1913 until his retirement 31 years later. Jordan wrote a half dozen volumes that comprise for American philosophy a unique contribution the full significance of which has still to be measured: The Life of Mind,' Forms of Individuality, Theory of Legislation, The Aesthetic Object, The Good Life Essays in Criticism, and on …

John Dewey--A Philosophy Of Law For Democracy, Jay W. Murphy

Vanderbilt Law Review

On what bases can a philosophy of law be founded which is equal to the task of the democratization of man in the world today? The purpose of this article is to present some suggestions concerning the fuller use of John Dewey's philosophy in this important regard. In addition to an examination of Dewey's theory of justice, it will be suggested that the richness of Dewey's thought and the variety of its uses in legal scholarship and legal education have yet to be felt.
