The Roles Of Architect And Contractor In Construction Management, John E. Lehman Jan 1973

The Roles Of Architect And Contractor In Construction Management, John E. Lehman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

For the architect and building contractor the most significant aspect of modern commercial construction may not be the design but rather the management, consisting of coordination and administration, of large-scale building projects. Despite the importance of construction management, especially in mammoth and complex projects such as New York's World Trade Center, legislatures have been slow to respond to the needs and practices of the construction industry. Although the skills involved indicate that the role of construction manager is more appropriately assumed by a contractor, the laws of several states provide that only a licensed architect can take responsible charge of …

Substance And Procedure In The Construction Of The National Environmental Policy Act, Lloyd A. Fox Jan 1973

Substance And Procedure In The Construction Of The National Environmental Policy Act, Lloyd A. Fox

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In 1969 Congress enacted the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA or Act) in an effort to deal with the many environmental problems facing the United States. In the three years that the Act has been in force, a large number of suits has been filed by environmental organizations seeking to enforce the standards enunciated in NEPA. The courts hearing these cases generally agree that NEPA imposes only procedural duties on administrative agencies. This implies that the courts will merely determine whether the agency in question has complied with the procedural requirements contained in Section 102 of the Act. This further …

Interstate Land Sales Regulation: The Case For An Expanded Federal Role, Robert R. Maxwell Jan 1973

Interstate Land Sales Regulation: The Case For An Expanded Federal Role, Robert R. Maxwell

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Public awareness of the need for protection from fraudulent vendors of undeveloped land recurs periodically and has led to brief flurries of legislative and journalistic attention since the Florida land boom of the 1920s. Despite the rush of state and federal legislation enacted in recent years to combat sharp practices in the land development field, the need for stronger regulation has been revealed by testimony at public hearings held by the Office of Interstate Land Sales Registration as well as by numerous news accounts of questionable tactics employed by some land development promoters. The recent actions of the Federal Trade …

Separation Of Powers: Congrssional Riders And The Veto Power, Richard A. Riggs Jan 1973

Separation Of Powers: Congrssional Riders And The Veto Power, Richard A. Riggs

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

It has been suggested that in order to avoid this potential crisis statutory authority to veto nongermane riders be granted to the President. One author has contended that no such statute is needed, that the President presently has such power under Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution. On the other hand, bills have been introduced in both houses of Congress which might have specifically denied that power to the President. This article examines whether there is any constitutional ground on which the President could take the unprecedented action of separately vetoing congressional riders.

Modern Legislation, Metropolitan Court, Miniscule Results: A Study Of Detroit's Landlord-Tenant Court, Marilyn Miller Mosier, Richard A. Soble Jan 1973

Modern Legislation, Metropolitan Court, Miniscule Results: A Study Of Detroit's Landlord-Tenant Court, Marilyn Miller Mosier, Richard A. Soble

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article is a description of a study of cases filed and tried in the Detroit, Michigan, Common Pleas Court, Landlord-Tenant Division, during 1970 and 1971. The court is in a large urban center and handles a high volume of cases, in most of which one or both parties appear without an attorney. The impetus for the study was Michigan legislation passed in 1968, which gave tenants additional defenses to summary eviction procedures. The main goal of the study was to observe the effects of the legislation on tenants who were subject to summary proceedings in Detroit. The purpose of …

The Railroad Passenger Problem: American And British Experiences As Bases For A New Model, Vincent J. Tolve Jan 1973

The Railroad Passenger Problem: American And British Experiences As Bases For A New Model, Vincent J. Tolve

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article examines the character of the rail passenger problem, identifies the American and British governments' responses and proposes a hybrid model of a rail passenger service organization based on several intrinsic characteristics of these existing systems. The article implies that the profit standard inadequately measures the success of a public utility, and suggests the adoption of an eclectic standard that measures enterprise success in terms of economic viability, response to public need, and quality of service rendered. The proposed model involves the rediscovery, application, and combination of two organizational concepts: the public corporation and the interstate compact.

Nuclear Power: Risk, Liability, And Indemnity, Harold P. Green Jan 1973

Nuclear Power: Risk, Liability, And Indemnity, Harold P. Green

Michigan Law Review

In 1946, the Congress of the United States enacted the original Atomic Energy Act as the framework for development, control, and use of atomic energy. This Act provided for the transfer to the new Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), a civilian agency, of the entire atomic energy program which to that point had been conducted by the Manhattan Engineer District, a creature of the United States Army. The Act contemplated that the heart of the nuclear technology-the production of special nuclear material and the use of special nuclear material in both military and civil applications- would be a government monopoly. All …

Some Suggestions For Nonurgent Reforms In The Ucc's Treatment Of Accommodation Parties, James A. Martin Jan 1973

Some Suggestions For Nonurgent Reforms In The Ucc's Treatment Of Accommodation Parties, James A. Martin

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Anyone who has studied those provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC or Code) that deal with accommodation parties-chiefly Sections 3-415, 3-416, and 3-606-knows a certain amount of despair at trying to decipher the meaning of these provisions. Fortunately, most of the problems raised are fairly narrow, and few of them have yet posed significant problems for the courts, either because they have not yet arisen or (more often) because the courts have cut through ambiguous language to reach desirable and justifiable results. Thus, most of the problems discussed below do not cry out for immediate legislative attention. The position …

Federal Tax Administration And The Small Taxpayer, L. Hart Wright Jan 1973

Federal Tax Administration And The Small Taxpayer, L. Hart Wright

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The actual or supposed complexity of substantive federal tax law has generated two unresolved administrative by-products of peculiar importance in the case of small taxpayers. In each of these circumstances the Internal Revenue Service (and in one, the Congress) has tended to default on its programmatic responsibility to facilitate payment by small taxpayers of no less and no more than they owe under the tax law. For too long and to too large an extent, these taxpayers, although completely bewildered and devoid of self-confidence in the conduct of their tax affairs, have had to fend for themselves, both at return …

Teague-Cranston Act Of 1972, United States Congress Oct 1972

Teague-Cranston Act Of 1972, United States Congress

Establishment of James H. Quillen College of Medicine

United States Public Law 92-541, commonly known as the Teague-Cranston Act, called for the creation of five new medical schools in five states to meet the needs of medically under served areas of the country. The act, as passed, required that the new schools be "located in proximity to, and operated in conjunction with, Veterans' Administration medical facilities." This worked in ETSU's favor as the university is located adjacent to the Mountain Home VA Hospital. Signed into law by President Richard Nixon, this would eventually lead to the establishment of the Quillen College of Medicine.

Local Legislation In Georgia: The Notice Requirement, R. Perry Sentell Jr. Sep 1972

Local Legislation In Georgia: The Notice Requirement, R. Perry Sentell Jr.

Scholarly Works

Professor Sentell's commentary concerns Georgia's efforts to curb potential abuses of local or special legislation by requiring notice of such legislation to the affected locality. After examining the ineffectiveness of the notice requirement under Georgia's Constitution of 1877, Professor Sentell focuses upon various aspects of the notice requirement under the Constitution of 1945, and concludes that despite its rather erratic history in Georgia, the notice requirement reasonably serves its purpose as a compromise between the extremes of unrestricted special legislation and no special legislation.

Michigan's Environmental Protection Act Of 1970: A Progress Report, Joseph L. Sax, Roger L. Conner

Michigan Law Review

The Michigan Environmental Protection Act of 1970 (EPA) represents a departure from the long-standing tradition under which control of environmental quality has been left almost exclusively in the hands of regulatory agencies: it gives to ordinary citizens an opportunity to take the initiative in environmental law enforcement.

Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph Apr 1972

Underwater Search And Rescue For Non-Military Submersibles, Peter A. Joseph

Marine Affairs Theses and Major Papers

A system of underwater search and rescue for non-military submersibles utilizing a helicopter delivered rescue submersible is proposed. In the last 10 years there has been a substantial increase in manned underwater endeavors. This expansion is expected to continue with increasingly greater emphasis in the recreational field. The necessity to overcome the relatively short iife support of the small recreation submersible dictates a rapid response. This system should be capable of providing the lift necessary to rescue the entrapped personnel by bringing the submersible to the surface. At the present time the Coast Guard must rely on other submersible operators …

Tribal Self-Government And The Indian Reorganization Act Of 1934, Michigan Law Review Apr 1972

Tribal Self-Government And The Indian Reorganization Act Of 1934, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

The Indian Reorganization (Wheeler-Howard) Act of 1934 (IRA) was, by all accounts, one of the most significant single pieces of legislation directly affecting Indians ever enacted by the Congress of the United States. It has been "equalled in scope and significance only by the legislation of June 30, 1834, and the General Allotment Act of February 8, 1887." A major reversal of governmental policy and approach toward Indian affairs was effectuated by the IRA. This Comment will be concerned with the IRA as it affected the concept of tribal self-government, and primarily with those sections providing for adoption of tribal …
