Judicial Review Of Zoning Adminstration, Richard A. Pelletier
Judicial Review Of Zoning Adminstration, Richard A. Pelletier
Cleveland State Law Review
This discussion will focus on the role of the courts in zoning administration judicial review. More specifically, the limitations of that role, as it is now employed, will be examined with a suggested alternative. However, beforye a meaningful explanation of that topic can be undertaken it is necessary to provide a brief description of the zoning procedure before judicial review is summoned into the fray. For this reason, the initial portion of this comment is devoted to a general discussion of the source of the municipality's authority to promulgate zoning ordinances, and the makeup and function of the local zoning …

Using Statistical Evidence To Enforce The Laws Against Discrimination, Kenneth Montlack
Cleveland State Law Review
In actions brought under a variety of federal statutes barring racial discrimination, the federal judiciary has increasingly relied upon statistical evidence in determining the existence of unlawful discrimination.

Disorderly Conduct Statutes And Ohio, Charles M. Young
Disorderly Conduct Statutes And Ohio, Charles M. Young
Cleveland State Law Review
In Ohio, as throughout the country, the peace and good order of communities are often protected by vague disorderly conduct statutes which fail to sufficiently define prohibited conduct. The failure of such statutes to provide specific standards for enforcement, and the determination of the courts to uphold these laws, may lead to an arbitrary standard of justice. Whens the courts are presented with a vagueness question concerning an archaic city or state statute, they should be eager to void, rather than careful to limit and interpret the language of the law. It is the duty of the legislatures to provide …

Cleveland State Law Review

In spite of the tendency toward problems, one would hope that in establishing these agencies, the legislature whether it be on the local, state, or federal level would do its utmost to insure uniformity within a given area. A review of sections 119.12, 143.27, and 2506 of the Ohio Revised Code and the relevant case law, however, reveals the Ohio legislature's failure to insure that uniformity.

Cleveland State Law Review
The area of state administrative law, relatively contemporary in origin, has undergone tremendous expansion and now encompasses a considerable body of common law as well as statutory enactments. As Mr. Justice Jackson has said, "The rise of administrative agencies has probably been the most significant legal trend of the last century." Concurrent with the rise in the number of agencies has been the recent enactments of, and amendments to, state administrative procedure acts. In view of the increasing amount of case law and commentary in the field of administrative law, this note confines itself to a survey of several of …

A Survey Of The Ohio Administrative Procedures Act, Glenn R. Jones
Cleveland State Law Review
The recent expansion of the use of administrative agencies to facilitate the functioning of the various levels of governmental operations has created a correspondingly complex morass of procedural law. Administrative procedure being the creation of administrative law, a definition of the latter is necessary for an understanding of the former. This area of law has been demarcated by "the provisions of statutes conferring rule making and adjudicatory powers upon organizations in government outside the judicial branch and orders entered by these agencies pursuant to such powers."' It should be noted, however, that this definition, like other brief definitions of broad …
