Compelling The Testimony Of Political Deviants, O. John Rogge
Compelling The Testimony Of Political Deviants, O. John Rogge
Michigan Law Review
At the last term the United States Supreme Court in Ullmann v. United States upheld the constitutionality of paragraph (c) of a federal act of August 1954 which seeks to compel the testimony of communists and other political deviants. Paragraph (c) relates to witnesses before federal courts and grand juries. The Court specifically left open the question of the validity of paragraphs (a) and (b) relating to congressional witnesses. Justice Frankfurter delivered the Court's opinion. Justice Douglas, with the concurrence of Justice Black, wrote a dissent.
It is our purpose to consider the background, history and terms of this compulsory …

This comment will deal with a review of the history, nature, and use of the consent decree, an analysis of some of the more recent and important decrees, and a discussion of the crucial problem, raised especially by the Report of the Attorney General's National Committee to Study the Antitrust Laws, of the constitutional and statutory bases (or lack thereof) for the relief granted by consent decrees.
The Fourteenth Amendment Reconsidered, The Segregation Question, Alfred H. Kelly
The Fourteenth Amendment Reconsidered, The Segregation Question, Alfred H. Kelly
Michigan Law Review
Some sixty years ago in Plessy v. Ferguson the Supreme Court of the United States adopted the now celebrated "separate but equal" doctrine as a constitutional guidepost for state segregation statutes. Justice Brown's opinion declared that state statutes imposing racial segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment, provided only that the statute in question guaranteed equal facilities for the two races. Brown's argument rested on a historical theory of the intent, although he offered no evidence to support it. "The object of the amendment," he said, "was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, …

Comparative Legal Research, Some Remarks On "Looking Out Of The Cave", Hessel E. Yntema
Comparative Legal Research, Some Remarks On "Looking Out Of The Cave", Hessel E. Yntema
Michigan Law Review
Despite this risk and without limiting discussion of comparative legal research to a Platonic theory of knowledge-to which I for one would not accede-the text prompts first the inquiry, unavoidable in a constructive discussion of the matter, whether contemporary legal study in the United States is concerned with shadows in an intellectual cave-or in other words, whether it is true, as I was told years ago, partly perhaps in jest, by a late distinguished member of the Supreme Court, then Attorney General, when, encountering me on a visit to the Department of Justice, he kindly asked what I was looking …

Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Michigan Law Review
The first edition of the Encyclopedia Americana (1829-1833) contains numerous articles on a wide variety of legal subjects, including such topics as Common Law, Jury, Equity, etc. The identity of the author of these articles is not disclosed. There is an occasional footnote, however, which declares: "this article prepared by an eminent American jurist." This suggested the possibility of a lively and interesting manhunt--a search for the "eminent American jurist" who agreed to submit articles on law for the Encyclopedia, but who preferred to remain anonymous.
