St. Mary's Law Journal
The current composition of the United States Supreme Court increases the probability that the Court will be more likely to side with the government with respect to identifying, evaluating, and reconciling the interest of the government versus those of the people when issues of “policing” reach the high court. This opens the door for state supreme court to independently assess individually and collectively these seemingly competing interests and potentially provide greater protections to the interest of the people.
This Article is a twenty-year study of dozens of state supreme court decisions made during the period of 2000–2020. The decisions focused …

Presumed Guilty Until Proven Innocent: The Burden Of Proof In Wrongful Conviction Claims Under State Compensation Statutes, Daniel S. Kahn
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Despite significant efforts to uncover and prevent wrongful convictions, little attention has been paid to the compensation of wrongfully convicted individuals once they are released from prison. State compensation statutes offer the best path to redress because they do not require the claimant to prove that the state was at fault for the wrongful conviction and because they are not susceptible to the same political influences as other methods of compensation. However, even under compensation statutes, too many meritorious claims are dismissed, settled for far too little, or never brought in the first place. After examining the current statutory framework, …

A Radical Restatement Of The Law Of Seller's Damages: Michigan Results Compared, Robert J. Harris
A Radical Restatement Of The Law Of Seller's Damages: Michigan Results Compared, Robert J. Harris
Michigan Law Review
Conventional doctrine does not address itself directly to the choice among valuation techniques, although the various parochial damage formulae give some clues. Underlying this series of articles is an assumption that the doctrine makes more sense when restated in valuation terms. These articles involve an effort to restate in such terms one sector of expectation damage law-the part that governs cases in which plaintiff is a "seller."
A General Theory For Measuring Seller's Damages For Total Breach Of Contract, Robert J. Harris
A General Theory For Measuring Seller's Damages For Total Breach Of Contract, Robert J. Harris
Michigan Law Review
This article is concerned with the legal rules which should govern the process of valuing what plaintiff saved by exercising his power to stop further performance upon notice of defendant's serious breach. Where plaintiff is a "buyer" (whether he buys land, services, personality, or the temporary use of some kind of property), and he was to pay the price in dollars, few difficulties arise in valuing his saved performance. But if he was a "seller" of any of those commodities, valuation is hard. Thus our inquiry is chiefly concerned with cases in which plaintiff is a "seller," not a "buyer."
