Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner was injured on his employer's barge moored in navigable waters while assisting in a loading operation. The employer was insured solely under the Federal Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Act. Instead of pursuing the remedy available under the federal act, petitioner brought the common law action authorized by state workmen's compensation legislation in the state courts.

On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed per curiam, two justices dissenting. The injury was incurred within the …

The Supreme Court And State Power To Deal With Subversion And Loyalty, Roger C. Cramton May 1959

The Supreme Court And State Power To Deal With Subversion And Loyalty, Roger C. Cramton

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In this Article, Professor Cramton discusses the effect of recent United States Supreme Court decisions on state control of Subversive activities. He finds that while the decisions to some extent restrict state activity in this area, and though the Court in its decisions gives the impression of vacillation and confusion, some definite and workable principles are emerging which contribute to a resolution of the inherent conflict of federal-state relations which these issues pose. He concludes that as the states grow more sophisticated in their treatment of these issues, so the policy of judicial self-restraint will become more influential in restricting …

Emphasis will also be placed on treatment accorded the surviving spouse and children and the implicit relationship between such treatment and some of the above areas. The essence of this examination will be to inquire whether adoption of an estate tax would be a more suitable vehicle for implementing a local death tax program.

Constitutional Uniformity And Equality In State Taxation, Wade J. Newhouse Jan 1959

Constitutional Uniformity And Equality In State Taxation, Wade J. Newhouse

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The method of approach and arrangement of materials are developed during the course of the monograph. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat them here. The purpose of the study is twofold. First, it should provide background material for constitutional revision. Second, it should aid counsel and court in deciding cases arising under existing constitutional limitations and state legislatures in drafting tax measures in such a way that pitfalls in existing limitations are avoided. The greater part of this monograph was prepared during a two year period from June 1951 to 1953, while I was a Research Assistant with the …

Municipal Corporations - Zoning - Disqualification Of Councilman For Personal Interest, Joel N. Simon

Michigan Law Review

An amendatory zoning ordinance was enacted by the city council of Miami Beach for the purpose of changing the zoning of an extensive area fronting on the Atlantic Ocean from a private residential to a hotel district. The amendment received the required affirmative votes of five of the seven members of the council, including the vote of one councilman who owned land in the area affected by the amendment which would be increased in value by $500,000 because of the zoning change.

Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy Jan 1959

Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy

University of Richmond Law Review

Whereas most Virginia lawyers know about the rule against perpetuities, many of the same lawyers do not know what it is all about. Perpetuities is a dry and dismal subject to an active practitioner, and the state of abject bewilderment with which he was indoctrinated about the rule against perpetuities while in law school lingers on to haunt his memory. for the balance of his professional career. It is not until an actual client appears with a perpetuities problem that the same practitioner is forced to face the stark realities of the rule. It is only then that the complexities …

There has been a modest volume of requests for copies of the first issue from non-alumni members of the bar and from many law libraries.
