Legislative Note: Michigan's Criminal Sexual Assault Law, Kenneth A. Cobb, Nancy R. Schauer Jan 1974

Legislative Note: Michigan's Criminal Sexual Assault Law, Kenneth A. Cobb, Nancy R. Schauer

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Under increasing pressure from women's rights groups and other reform organizations, the Michigan legislature has re-evaluated its centenarian rape statute, found it inadequate for the realities of the mid-twentieth century, and enacted a new sexual assault act. While people may refer to the act as "the new rape law," it should be noted at the outset that the statute is intended to prohibit a variety of sexual acts which involve criminal assault. Michigan's new criminal sexual assault law was formulated to distinguish among degrees of violence as motivated by hostility rather than passion; rape, like other crimes, is more heinous …


Information Disclosure And Consumer Behavior: An Empirical Evaluation Of Truth-In-Lending, William K. Brandt, George S. Day Jan 1974

Information Disclosure And Consumer Behavior: An Empirical Evaluation Of Truth-In-Lending, William K. Brandt, George S. Day

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article offers some empirical insight into the debate over the efficacy of disclosure legislation. The primary concern is the effect of the Act on (1) the level of consumer knowledge of interest rates and finance charges; (2) the extent of comparison shopping; and (3) the decisions to postpone purchases, to use cash instead of credit, or to reduce the finance charges by increasing the downpayment or reducing the number of payments. The article also evaluates patterns of consumer behavior and credit-granting procedures which may constrain the long-run potential of TIL.


Intrastate Offerings Under Rule 147, J. William Hicks Jan 1974

Intrastate Offerings Under Rule 147, J. William Hicks

Michigan Law Review

In an effort to publicize administrative and judicial interpretations of the exemption, to protect investors, and to provide more certainty in determining the parameters of section 3(a)(ll), the SEC has adopted rule 147. This Article, in three parts, will examine that rule. Part I is devoted to an explanation of the rule; it will indicate how the rule differs from earlier interpretations of section 3(a)(ll) and discuss the problems that the rule leaves unanswered. Part II will consider the interrelationships among the various sections of the rule, as well as interpretative issues that have not yet arisen under section 3(a)(ll). …


Insider Liability For Short-Swing Profits: The Substance And Function Of The Pragmatic Approach, Michigan Law Review Jan 1974

Insider Liability For Short-Swing Profits: The Substance And Function Of The Pragmatic Approach, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Note will discuss the inquiries encompassed by the "possibility of abuse" test. It will also evaluate whether the test is properly employed only in determining that an unorthodox transaction is or is not a "purchase" or "sale" or whether the test could better be used as a threshold inquiry in all cases.


The General Assembly And Local Government: Legislating A Constitution 1969-1970, Jack Spain Jr. Jan 1974

The General Assembly And Local Government: Legislating A Constitution 1969-1970, Jack Spain Jr.

University of Richmond Law Review

Counties, cities, towns, sanitary districts and authorities-these are the building blocks of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The operations of these units directly affect the day-to-day activities of every Virginian. The Virginia Constitutional Revision Commission (the Commission), in proposing its recommended changes to the Virginia Constitution of 1902, therefore, considered the area of local government most carefully. Its recommendations contained in Article VII of the proposed Revised Constitution of 1971, set forth in the Commission's Report. When the proposed Constitution was considered by the General Assembly in the special session of 1969 before its final adoption by the General Assembly and …


Title Vii And Nlra: Protection Of Extra-Union Opposition To Employment Discrimination, Michigan Law Review Dec 1973

Title Vii And Nlra: Protection Of Extra-Union Opposition To Employment Discrimination, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act guarantees freedom from employment discrimination based on race, religion, sex, or national origin and establishes remedial procedures for aggrieved employees. A nondiscrimination clause in a collective bargaining agreement may also protect employees from discriminatory treatment; typically, the contract will also contain grievance machinery through which the employee, with the aid of his union, can present his complaint. The question remains: When both title VII and contract grievance procedures are available, can an individual employee or a group of employees take direct action against an allegedly discriminatory employer independently of the union and …

Legislative Restriction Of Creditor Powers And Remedies: A Case Study Of The Negotiation And Drafting Of The Wisconsin Consumer Act, Jeffrey Davis Nov 1973

Legislative Restriction Of Creditor Powers And Remedies: A Case Study Of The Negotiation And Drafting Of The Wisconsin Consumer Act, Jeffrey Davis

Michigan Law Review

This Article discusses the background, negotiation, and drafting of selected WCA restrictions on creditor powers and remedies and compares those provisions to the analogous restrictions proposed by other reform measures. In addition to the UCCC, the MCCA and the WCA, two other major works must be considered in any discussion of consumer-credit legislation. First is Working Redraft No. 4 of the UCCC (UCCC Redraft). This proposed revision, published in December 1972, represents a marked change in the UCCC. Many provisions favorable to the consumer have been added, and many of the parallel provisions on sales and loans have been consolidated. …

An Analysis Of Recent Proposals For Reform Of Federal Securities Legislation, William H. Painter Aug 1973

An Analysis Of Recent Proposals For Reform Of Federal Securities Legislation, William H. Painter

Michigan Law Review

Today the securities industry is in the midst of rapid change. Indeed it has been for at least the past decade, but in recent years the pace of change has increased, and its emphasis has shifted. Legislative and administrative reforms that could not have been anticipated a decade ago are likely in the near future, and it is still impossible to predict accurately the shape of the markets of tomorrow or the rules by which they will be governed. It is the purpose of this Article to focus on these recent developments, to summarize and evaluate various proposals for reform, …

These are the amendments to subsections ( d) and (j) and the addition of a new subsection (n) all of which were adopted in 1968.

Implementation Of The Bank Holding Company Act Amendments Of 1970: The Scope Of Banking Activities, Michigan Law Review May 1973

Implementation Of The Bank Holding Company Act Amendments Of 1970: The Scope Of Banking Activities, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

There has been a continuing conflict between those who wish to allow banks to diversify their operations beyond the traditionally limited scope of the banking business and those who see such an expansion as a threat to the stability of the economy and a license for unfair competition. The most recent in a continuing series of attempts to reconcile this conflict is found in the Bank Holding Company Act Amendments of 1970 and the implementation of these Amendments by the Federal Reserve Board. The original Act, adopted in 1956, was the first major attempt to bring bank holding companies, a …
