Constitutional Law-Jury Trial-Validity Of The "Blue Ribbon" Jury, Edward S. Tripp S.Ed.
Constitutional Law-Jury Trial-Validity Of The "Blue Ribbon" Jury, Edward S. Tripp S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants, labor union officers, were indicted for conspiracy and extortion. The state moved for a "blue ribbon" jury. Defendants objected to the "blue ribbon" panel on grounds of denial of due process and equal protection; first, because laborers and women were unlawfully excluded from the panel, and also because "blue ribbon" juries were more inclined to convict than common juries. Defendants later accepted each individual juror. Defendants were convicted and the New York appellate court affirmed. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari. Held, affirmed. Defendants failed to show any intentional and purposeful exclusion which would be prejudicial to …

Conflict Of Laws-Constitutional Law-Full Faith And Credit-Fraternal Benefit Society's Constitution Controlling Over Statute Of Limitations Of Forum State, Bruce L. Moore S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In an action against an Ohio fraternal benefit society to recover insurance benefits resulting from the death of an insured member, the defense was that the constitution of the society prohibited the bringing of an action on such a claim more than six months after disallowance of the claim. This provision was valid under the statutes and court decisions of Ohio. The statute of limitations of the state of the forum, South Dakota, was six years on contract actions. Another statute of South Dakota declared void every stipulation in a contract limiting the time within which a party may enforce …

Held, the provision is inapplicable in cases arising under the federal Merchant Marine …

Constitutional Law-Taxation-Gross Receipts Taxes In Relation To Interstate Commerce-Freeman V. Hewit, Irving Slifkin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The scope of state taxation of interstate commerce has been redefined in two recent Supreme Court cases involving the application of state gross receipts taxes. In Freeman v. Hewit and Joseph v. Carter and Weekes Stevedoring Co., the Court discarded the cumulative burdens test, which for the past eight years had served as the basis for determining the extent of state taxation of interstate commerce, and readopted the direct and indirect burden test.

Michigan Law Review
At the suit of the plaintiff, an incorporated religious organization, a permanent injunction issued from a lower state court enjoining the enforcement of certain ordinances of the defendant City of Los Angeles on the ground that they violated the plaintiff's religious liberty under the Constitutions of California and the United States. The case was appealed to the Supreme Court of California which sustained the ordinances as Constitutional and entered a judgment which provided " . . . the Judgment . . . in the above cause . . . is hereby reversed." On plaintiff's appeal, defendant questioned the jurisdiction of …

Constitutional Law-A Federal Commercial Code-Some Possibilities Under The Constitution, Merrill N. Johnson
Constitutional Law-A Federal Commercial Code-Some Possibilities Under The Constitution, Merrill N. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
It is the purpose of this comment to examine various possibilities of federal action which would help to bring about unification, simplification and clarification in the field of commercial law. The term "commercial law" has no commonly accepted connotation; it is taken here to ·include the law of transfers of personal property by commercial methods, of negotiable instruments, of chattel securities, of agency and of business associations; in short, all those fields of law which a Continental lawyer would term "private commercial law."
Constitutional Law-Due Process Clause-Right Of An Accused To Have Counsel Appointed By The Court, Frank H. Roberts
Constitutional Law-Due Process Clause-Right Of An Accused To Have Counsel Appointed By The Court, Frank H. Roberts
Michigan Law Review
On May 16, 1932, petitioner, then seventeen years of age, was arraigned, tried, convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to life imprisonment. Petitioner was without legal assistance throughout these proceedings, was never advised of his rights to counsel, was never informed of the consequences of a guilty plea and, as disclosed by the record, was considerably confused as to the effect of such plea. In 1945, he moved for leave to file a delayed motion for new trial in the court in which he was convicted, on the ground that there had been serious impairment of his …

Constitutional Law-Taking Private Property For Public Use-Control Of Airspace, Robert K. Eifler S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The airspace above land is the object of at least five conflicting claims of right. The owner of the land beneath it claims the right to use it and at least a limited right to prevent its use. The aviator demands the right to fly through it. The airport operator, whether governmental agent or private individual, has an interest in keeping it free from obstructions. The state claims sovereignty over it. The federal government claims the power to control it for the purposes of interstate commerce as well as international relations.

Constitutional Law-Search And Seizure, Howard A. Jacobs S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The most important step in the development of this constitutional provision came in 1886 in the famous case of Boyd v. United States. There the Court gave life to the Fourth Amendment by recognizing its intimate relation to the Fifth Amendment; thus laying the foundation for the federal rule that the Fifth Amendment protects every person from incrimination by the use of evidence obtained through search or seizure made in violation of his rights under the Fourth Amendment. With the exception of a temporary setback in 1903, this rule, as restated in the Weeks case, has effectively weathered a …

Excusing Of Public School Pupils For Religious Instruction, Thomas F. Broden
Excusing Of Public School Pupils For Religious Instruction, Thomas F. Broden
Journal Articles
The separation of Church and State, according to the precepts of the American form of constitutional government, imposes no duty on the public school system to erect a barrier of hostility and antagonism against religion or the churches. Accordingly, a regulation of the Board of Education excusing the weekly absences of pupils for the purpose of receiving religious instruction does not, it was held in People ex rel. Latimer et al. v. Board of Education of City of Chicago, do violence to the compulsory attendance law and is a reasonable rule for the practical administration of the public schools.

Constitutional Law-Interstate Commerce-State Regulation Of Insurance, Eugene H. Lattin
Constitutional Law-Interstate Commerce-State Regulation Of Insurance, Eugene H. Lattin
Michigan Law Review
The California Insurance Code forbids a person to act as agent for an insurance company until a license is obtained from the commissioner, and forbids acting as agent for any non-admitted insurer in the transaction of insurance business in the state. Summarily stated, the provisions for the admission of insurance companies forbid either foreign or domestic companies to do a life insurance business in California other than on a legal reserve basis, thereby excluding the company represented by appellant as its agent. Appellant was convicted for violations of both provisions of the law. He contended that these sections, as applied …

Constitutional Law-Due Process Of Law-Freedom Of The Press To Criticize The Judiciary-Clear And Present Danger Test, Merrill N. Johnson
Michigan Law Review
The editor and publisher of the Miami Herald published two editorials and a cartoon which inaccurately portrayed the local circuit court as willing to "accept, even go out to find, every possible technicality of the law to protect the defendant, to block, thwart, hinder, embarass and nullify prosecution" in certain criminal cases then before the court. They were cited in contempt of the circuit court for tending to obstruct and interfere with the impartial administration of justice. Found guilty of the charges, the petitioners appealed to the Florida Supreme Court, which affirmed the decision declaring that the object of the …
