Constitutional Law - Civil Rights - First Amendment Freedoms-Reformulation Of The Clear And Present Danger Doctrine, Bernard A. Petrie

Michigan Law Review

In July 1948 the apostles of Communism in America were indicted under the conspiracy provisions of the Smith Act of 1940. The tension marking both the trial and the present era has obscured the constitutional problems and policy considerations involved. It is the purpose of this comment to trace the history of this cause celebre, Dennis et al. v. United States, and to examine its effect upon our constitutional notions of the permissible bounds of utterance, primarily by an analysis of the appellate opinions.

Conflict Of Laws-The Nature Of Statutes Of Limitation, Nancy J. Ringland S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Several recent cases have again focused the attention of the courts on the nature of statutes of limitation; the question is whether they are procedural or substantive. For purposes of the conflict of laws this distinction is important, for it is universally agreed that in conflicts cases the substance of the cause of action is governed by the law of the place where it accrued, and the procedural aspects are governed by the law of the forum. There is no doubt that the theory which holds the usual statutes of limitation procedural in nature prevails in this country today, but …

Actions Quasi In Rem Under Section 1655, Title 28, U. S. C., William Wirt Blume

Michigan Law Review

Section 1655 of Title 28, U.S.C. (1948) was originally section 8 of an act of Congress approved March 3, 1875. A somewhat similar statute, limited to equity cases, had been enacted in 1872. Paragraph one of the present section reads:

"In an action in a district court to enforce any lien upon or claim to, or to remove any incumbrance or lien or cloud upon the title to, real or personal property within the district, where any defendant cannot be served within the State, or does not voluntarily appear, the court may order the absent defendant to appear or plead …

Woe Unto You Trade-Mark Owners, Julius R. Lunsford, Jr.

Michigan Law Review

THE new Trade-Mark Act,1 widely heralded as giving added protection to trade-mark owners, has in its nearly four years of operation resulted, in several spectacular instances, in narrowing the rights conferred by the registration and use of trade-marks. Text author Rudolph Callmann remarked after the act's first birthday: "Despite all the efforts of the bar, our courts still cling to the familiar anachronisms."2 Where do trade-mark owners stand today? The Supreme Court has to date failed to answer this question, and the federal courts have refused to consider the import of the new legislation. Many commentators, attorneys and scholars thought …

Separation Of Powers Revisited, Reginald Parker

Michigan Law Review

Since administrative law is law that governs, and is applied by, the executive branch of government, it is necessarily as old as that branch. As long as executive and judiciary were one and the same and the king at the head of both, all of the law was in fact "administrative" though the term was not used. When, however, out of the amorphous mass of the legal order a fixed body of law courts began to emerge with jurisdiction over the most important legal problems, the term "administrative law," had it been used, would have acquired a specific meaning. Property, …

Limitations And The Federal Courts, William Wirt Blume, B. J. George Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Though as a practical matter it is difficult to secure passage of uniform legislation in all states, particularly when the subject matter has so long been considered as of local interest only, the need for such legislation in the case of the statute of limitations seems clear. To the extent that such a statute is adopted, the problem of varying limitation periods upon particular causes of action and similar causes of action will be removed. Only by a uniform state treatment of the problem will the conflict among federal districts resulting from the uniformity of result requirement of Erie Railroad …

Realization Of Income Through Cancellations, Modifications, And Bargain Purchases Of Indebtedness: I, L. Hart Wright

Michigan Law Review

Treasury regulations bearing on the tax consequence of a cancellation, modification, or bargain purchase of one's outstanding indebtedness date back to those issued in connection with the Revenue Act of 1918. Thirteen years elapsed after their issuance before the Supreme Court in 1931 finally approved, at least with respect to the bargain purchase with which it was concerned, the principal which the regulations incorporated, namely, that the savings effected by such debtors could, as a constitutional as well as a statutory matter, involve the realization of taxable income. Competing interpretations of that decision, the government insisting on a sweeping application …

Military Habeas Corpus: I, Seymour W. Wurfel

Michigan Law Review

The mobilization of over twelve million persons into the armed forces in World War II made necessary a vastly expanded resort to court martial proceedings to enforce the criminal law. The trial by military tribunals of civilian employees of the military establishment in overseas areas and of prisoners of war and war crimes defendants added substantially to the number confined by military authority. On January 31, 1950, there remained in federal penal institutions 2508 prisoners serving civilian type felony sentences imposed by military tribunals. Before World War II, legal problems arising from attempts to invoke the remedy of habeas corpus …

Citizenship-Intent Required For Expatriation, Willis B. Snell S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

In recent years, many cases have involved the question whether an American citizen has expatriated himself by his actions. Expatriation in the United States is now covered by statute, but the courts, in construing these statutes, have faced a recurrent problem as to what intent on the part of the citizen is required to effect expatriation. To interpret the present doctrine, it is necessary to examine the history of expatriation, the statutes, and the various situations in which the question of intent has arisen.
