Juvenile Curfew Ordinances And The Constitution, Michigan Law Review Nov 1977

Juvenile Curfew Ordinances And The Constitution, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Recognizing that a legislature must decide whether to enact a juvenile curfew without the benefit of conclusive data on the effectiveness of such laws, the remainder of this Note will focus primarily upon the constitutional issues raised by such ordinances. The freedom of movement that is limited by a curfew is, it will be argued, an unenumerated right protected by the ninth and fourteenth amendments. The constitutional rights of juveniles, however, -are not necessarily coextensive with those of adults. Certain characteristics of juveniles-in particular, their lesser capacity for reason and self-control-imply that the strength of their right to freedom of …

Reflections On Stare Decisis In Michigan: The Rise And Fall Of The "Rezoning As Administrative Act" Doctrine, Roger A. Cunningham May 1977

Reflections On Stare Decisis In Michigan: The Rise And Fall Of The "Rezoning As Administrative Act" Doctrine, Roger A. Cunningham

Michigan Law Review

In an earlier article in this law review, I discussed the new doctrine that in certain municipalities a decision by the local governing body to rezone or not to rezone land should be deemed an "administrative" or "quasi-judicial," rather than a "legislative," act. This doctrine was introduced into Michigan law several years ago in a series of opinions signed by only three justices of the Michigan Supreme Court. The earlier article dealt principally with the merits of the new "rezoning as administrative act" doctrine. The present article discusses troublesome aspects of the Michigan Supreme Court's attitude toward the principle of …

Marital Agreements In Contemplation Of Divorce, Barbara Klarman Apr 1977

Marital Agreements In Contemplation Of Divorce, Barbara Klarman

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Romantic notions that marriage is forever are beginning to give way to the more realistic assessments that marriages indeed may not last. The pressure has been mounting for ways to provide economic planning to parties in the relatively likely event that their marriages terminate in divorce. The purpose of this article is to focus on one method of obtaining such planning: the marital agreement setting forth the support and property distribution which the parties would follow in the event of divorce. This article will review the law regarding marital agreements in contemplation of divorce as it exists in the United …

Legislative Notes: The Economic Impact Disclosure Act, William F. Flynn Apr 1977

Legislative Notes: The Economic Impact Disclosure Act, William F. Flynn

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

While the traditional concern with agency discretion is that agency decision-making will be biased in favor of the regulated industries, agencies are also criticized for failing to investigate the impact of their policies on the regulated client and the resulting cost to consumers. This failure prevents the agency from responding adequately to the legitimate interests of either the business community or consumers. This note examines a recently developed procedure designed to improve the agency decisionmaking process by requiring economic prediction of the effect which agency activities will have prior to agency action.

In particular, this note examines three issues. Part …


State Legislative Responses To The Arab Boycott Of Israel, Maurice Portley Apr 1977

State Legislative Responses To The Arab Boycott Of Israel, Maurice Portley

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The Arab boycott of Israel confronts the American business community with difficult ethical and political decisions. Six states, led by New York, have quietly enacted anti boycott laws designed to prevent economic trade opportunities with the Middle East from encouraging discrimination within their borders. The laws seek to prohibit the discriminatory effects of the boycott, which indicates that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not limited to military weapons or confined to the nations of the Middle East. More importantly, the states' responses signal a growing awareness that the federal government is unwilling to handle the complex moral, political, economic, and legal …
