Extraterritorial Effect Of The Washington Workmen's Compensation Act And Constitutional Implications, Peter J. Samuelson
Extraterritorial Effect Of The Washington Workmen's Compensation Act And Constitutional Implications, Peter J. Samuelson
Washington Law Review
The extraterritorial effect of worknen's compensation acts offers problems of a complex nature which have often led to confusion and excessive litigation. Problems involved include not only the application of substantive and procedural workmen's compensation law, but also constitutional considerations of due process and full faith and credit. The general area is usually treated under the subject of conflict of laws.

Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, a laborer in a railroad section gang, was assigned to burn weeds near a railroad track. He was injured when he fell into a culvert as he was trying to escape from smoke and flames which had been fanned by a passing train. A jury in the Circuit Court of St. Louis awarded damages under the Federal Employers' Liability Act (FELA). The Supreme Court of Missouri reversed upon the ground that the evidence was not sufficient to support a finding of the railroad's liability, and the case should not have been allowed to go to a jury. On certiorari …

Labor Law And Workmen's Compensation -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, Paul H. Sanders, James G. Bowman Jr.
Labor Law And Workmen's Compensation -- 1957 Tennessee Survey, Paul H. Sanders, James G. Bowman Jr.
Vanderbilt Law Review
The decisions of Tennessee appellate courts during the survey period have dealt extensively with the major area of controversy in current labor relations law--federal preemption.' The number of Tennessee decisions handed down which relate to injunctions restraining directly or indirectly the activities of labor organizations exceeds that in any recent comparable period. Clarification of the law applicable in the courts of the state to such activities, however, has not been achieved through these decisions. Two were reversed subsequently without opinion by the Supreme Court of the United States, and these two reversals, in turn, present serious questions as to the …

Workmen's Compensation - Federal Employers' Liability Act - Coverage Under 1939 Amendment, Robert J. Hoerner
Michigan Law Review
In 1956 the Supreme Court handed down two decisions interpreting the 1939 Amendment to the Federal Employers' Liability Act which substantially extended the act's coverage. The purpose of this short comment is to examine this extension and its impact on the perennial controversy between advocates of the FELA on the one hand and workmen's compensation on the other.

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff-employee was compensated for injuries received when she slipped on a patch of ice and fell on defendant-employer's premises while going from her work to eat lunch in defendant's cafeteria. On appeal, held, reversed. At the time of the injury plaintiff was not rendering any service to her employer. There was no causal connection between employment and injury, and the injury did not arise out of and in the course of her employment as required by statute. Mack v. Reo Motors, Inc., 345 Mich. 268, 76 N.W. (2d) 35 (1956).
