Aid To Education-Federal Fashion, Leonard F. Manning Jan 1961

Aid To Education-Federal Fashion, Leonard F. Manning

Fordham Law Review

The President of the United States has touched off a great debate with his recent declaration that the Constitution prohibits federal aid to church-related schools. From an examination of the cases and American traditions as well, Professor Manning concludes that nothing in the Constitution, in case law or in history precludes aid to church-related education in any form or at any level.


Aid To Education-State Style, Leonard F. Manning Jan 1961

Aid To Education-State Style, Leonard F. Manning

Fordham Law Review

The scholar-incentive plan-what is it? is it constitutional? Professor Manning traces the policy background of Governor Rochefeller's program for higher education and considers the objections raised by critics under the New York State Constitution. From an examination of the legislative policy regarding the role of private institutions in the higher educational system of the state and of the constitutional cases, he argues that the strict prohibitions of the state charter are inapplicable in the area of higher education.

Reconstructing The Roman Law Of Real Security , Roger J. Goebel Jan 1961

Reconstructing The Roman Law Of Real Security , Roger J. Goebel

Faculty Scholarship

The essential idea of real security is that the debtor transfer to the creditor a possessory interest in a specific item or aggregate of property, chattel or realty, to serve as security for the loan. There are four possible generic types: (1) the debtor vests both ownership and possession of the property in the creditor, subject to a personal obligation to reconvey on repayment; (2) the debtor vests ownership in the creditor, but retains possession of the property by leave of the creditor; (3) the debtor retains ownership of the property, but grants possession irrevocably to the creditor until repayment …

Family Law 1961 Survey Of New York Law: Part Four: Torts And Family Law, Roger J. Goebel, Arthur W. Rashap

Faculty Scholarship

Legislation designed to enable prompt judicial supervision of private adoptions was the most significant advance in domestic relations law this year. The legislature also subjected the contracts and earnings of infants engaged in professional activities to judicial control. Notable Court of Appeals decisions granted an annulment for constructive abandonment through refusal of sexual relations, denied an injunction against divorce proceedings in a foreign nation, and refused to abrogate the old rule against actions in tort by a child against his parent. Probably the most notorious case of the year was the action for debauchery brought by an eighteen-year-old plaintiff against …


The Federal Government And Interstate Compacts, Richard H. Leach Jan 1961

The Federal Government And Interstate Compacts, Richard H. Leach

Fordham Law Review

The recent congressional foray into the affairs of the Port of New York Authority has dramatized a growingly menacing attitude toward interstate compacts and agencies even while they have become increasingly indispensable arms of state government. In asking for a clarification of the nature of Congress' interest in the interstate compacts, Professor Leach urges a greater exercise of federal restraint. "Compromise and adjustment, not challenge and counterchallenge, are basic to a strong federal system."


The Roman Contribution To The Common Law, Edward D. Re Jan 1961

The Roman Contribution To The Common Law, Edward D. Re

Fordham Law Review

Although the Roman law was not received in England to the extent that it was received on the Continent, Professor Re submits that its influence was hardly less pervasive. The concepts, the terminology, the universality, and the jurisprudential principles of that vast system were transmitted and infused into the body of English law throughout its development. While the growth of the Anglo-American law still continues, so may the contributions to its development by the Roman law, whose own growth so closely parallels the growth of civilization.


A Criticism Of Criticism: In Re Meaning, Ray D. Henson Jan 1961

A Criticism Of Criticism: In Re Meaning, Ray D. Henson

Fordham Law Review

Philosophers and literary critics have long discussed the meaning of words-or, more exactly, whether words themselves have any real meaning. The argument, Mr. Henson suggests, is relevant also to legal criticism. "Words about words may generate and perpetuate arguments, but they do not solve problems involving people and things."
