Part One: Historical Perspective (Of The Chesapeake Bay), Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

This study analyzes the legal problems in the development and management of Chesapeake Bay resources. There are threshold problems of definition - What is Chesapeake Bay? What are its resources? What role does law play in their development and management?

The "Historical Perspective" traces the political controversies that have involved the Bay since the colonies of Maryland and Virginia were first founded. In a rough sense, it defines the traditional resources of the Bay by isolating occasions when individuals, businesses and governmental bodies found themselves at cross-purposes as to how the Bay was to be used and shared.

La Dolce Vita: Law And Equity Merged At Last!, George P. Smith Ii, Walter W. Nixon Iii

Scholarly Articles

Based upon an exegesis of the history of equity as a system of law, a comparison of Arkansas' present separate courts system with its own predecessors and with systems of other states, and, further, based upon an in-depth investigation of the practical and theoretical arguments-both positive and negative-concerning merger, it will be clearly seen that the merger of law and equity courts in the State would be neither a panacea for all judicial woes nor open a Pandora's box of abounding confusion. The merger, if effected, would present some operational difficulties in its inauguration, but it would ultimately ensure a …

Real Property (1969 Annual Survey Of Michigan Law), John E. Mogk, Brian M. Barkey

Law Faculty Research Publications

Over 65 cases were decided by Michigan courts during the Survey period dealing with some aspect of property law. Most of these cases raise property questions which are only incidental to nonproperty issues and, as a result, will not be discussed in this article. Similarly, those cases which have no precedential value, restate old law, or confirm an established trend are not considered worthy of discussion. Accordingly, in our judgment, only 16 property cases decided during the Survey period merit protracted attention.

Katzenbach V. Morgan And The 18 Year Old Vote, E. Rick Buell Ii

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Recently the 91st Congress passed the Voting Rights Act Amendments of 1970. The provisions of the statute include Title III which extended the right of suffrage to eighteen year old citizens in all federal, state, and local elections. The basis for enacting Title III was the belief of Congress that citizens between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, by being denied the right to vote, were being denied equal protection of the laws as required by the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The purpose of this note is to briefly trace the historical development of Congress' power to …

The Original Meaning Of Pauperies, Alan Watson

Scholarly Works

The very name, 'actio de pauperie', presents us squarely with the problem. Why should this action -- dealing with damage caused by animals -- and this action alone come to be called 'the action on poverty'? For the word 'pauperies' in the later Republic and the Empire does have the primary meaning of 'poverty'. This problem does not stand by itself. The 'actio de pauperie' is old, and goes back at least to the XII Tables. Why does it -- apparently at least -- give a remedy for damage of all kinds, whereas the later lex Aquilia of 287 B.C. …

Witnesses: A Canonist's View, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

The purpose of this essay is to examine and compare with our present practices a medieval text or summary of canonical procedure, the Summa de Ordine Iudiciario by Ricardus Anglicus-more narrowly, chapter XXX, which is concerned with witnesses. There are several reasons for examining the work of Ricardus Anglicus. This Englishman was a brilliant canonist in an age when the most ingenious and aggressive intellectuals were gravitating to the field of canon and civil law. Also he gives us a rather full summary of the subject.

Exchequer Equity Bibliography, William Hamilton Bryson

Law Faculty Publications

This essay is concerned with the secondary bibliography of the equity jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer. It forms the preliminary inquiry of a general study of the history of this jurisdiction. This bibliography is in essay form because a list would not adequately explain the comparative significance of the various works. Moreover, the titles of the works are frequently misleading; some of the earlier ones have been attributed to the wrong author, and the relationships among them have never before been sorted out. Finally, this is the only place where all of these related works have been brought together; …

Jailing The Innocent: The Plight Of The Material Witness, Ronald L. Carlson

Scholarly Works

Unknown to many lawyers, American legal history is marred with numerous recorded episodes of extended imprisonment of innocent American citizens. Frequently guiltless of any offense, these citizens are held because they happen to be witnesses to a crime and are financially unable to post a bond to insure their appearance to testify at the trial of the person accused of committing it. Not simply a feature of law from a bygone era, these incidents of imprisonment continue to arise today. Occasionally, a situation occurs wherein the man accused of the crime is released on bail and spends his time before …

Conscription And The Constitution: The Original Understanding, Leon Friedman

Michigan Law Review

The general words of the Constitution-famous phrases such as "due process," "freedom of speech," "interstate commerce," and "raise and support armies"-are not self-evident concepts. As Justice Frankfurter said, "The language of the [Constitution] is to be read not as barren words found in a dictionary but as symbols of historic experience illumined by the presuppositions of those who employed them. Not what words did Madison and Hamilton use, but what was it in their minds which they conveyed?" While the framers obviously could not have foreseen the discovery of electromagnetic radio waves or atomic energy, and had no "intent" concerning …

Recently, when asked to give a lecture on appellate advocacy, Justice Thurgood Marshall reminded his audience what Judge Benjamin Cardozo had once said: "The great tides and currents which engulf the rest of men do not turn aside in their course and pass judges by." An outstanding example, he might have added, is Brown v. Board of Education.

In a sense, the significant changes which have occurred in the Black man's status in the last two decades had their beginnings in the rise of numerically, and hence politically, important Black communities in the North. For the importance of civil rights …
