Some Significant Recent Georgia Legislation, F. Hodge O'Neal, James C. Quarles

Mercer Law Review

The General Assembly of Georgia enacted a total of 511 statutes and passed 40 resolutions during the 1949 Regular Session. This legislation covers more than 2,100 printed pages and ranges over many and diverse subjects. Even a cursory discussion of the statutes other than strictly local laws is impossible within the confines of a single law review article. The discussion in this article is therefore limited to four of the more significant statutes. The selection of these four statutes was of necessity more or less arbitrary, but an attempt was made to choose legislation of widespread and lasting interest to …

Administrative Terminology And The Administrative Procedure Act, Bernard Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

The confusion of terminology in our administrative law is a natural result of the manner in which that branch of law has developed. "The use of terms in administrative law exemplifies its most characteristic element-that it did not spring from a single source but has its roots in many places." The administrative process has not evolved according to a fixed plan; "thus far our Administrative Law has largely 'growed' like Topsy." With the haphazard habit characteristic of our political life, individual administrative agencies have been created as and when the need for them arose, without any logical system. The form …

Limitations On Congressional Investigation, George Meader

Michigan Law Review

Increasingly, federal laws embodying far-reaching national policies are being couched in broad and general terms. The effect of this type of legislation is to place wide discretionary powers in administrative officials and to throw upon the courts an immense burden of interpretation in applying general principles to specific factual situations. There have been sensational instances of hasty passage of corrective legislation made necessary by court decisions interpreting a poorly worded law in a way Congress did not intend, such as the portal-to-portal and overtime-on-overtime decisions. Meanwhile, the practicing lawyer is at a loss to advise his clients of the effect …

Compulsory Licensing By Judicial Action: A Remedy For Misuse Of Patents, Neal Seegert

Michigan Law Review

Having viewed the fundamental problems, it is pertinent to outline some of the alleged abuses of the American patent system as it operates in our modern business and industrial economy and to canvass some of the proposed remedies. First are abuses that might be termed attempts to extend the duration of the patent monopoly. These stem mainly from the procedural aspects of the patent laws. Foremost among them is the problem of long pendency of applications, particularly the dilatory tactics that are possible under the law, which postpone issuance of the patent, thus extending the time duration of the patent …

Workmen's Compensation Acts-Amendments Changing Period For Additional Compensation Due To Aggravation Of Injury, W. Stirling Maxwell S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The typical workmen's compensation act provides both for an award to compensate the employee for his original injury and for subsequent awards to compensate him for aggravation of the injury occurring after the original award. The time during which the original award may be opened to allow additional compensation for subsequent aggravation may not be expressly limited, or opening may be limited to a stated time after the original injury or the last payment of the original award. By amendment, the legislature may either lengthen or shorten this period for opening. Whether such amendment applies to a claim for compensation …

The Presidential Succession Act Of I947, Ruth C. Silva

Michigan Law Review

The Constitution of the United States empowers the Congress to designate what officer shall act as President in case of the death, resignation, removal, or inability of both the President and Vice President. Recently the Eightieth Congress passed a statute under this grant of power. Although the new succession act is frequently alleged to be unconstitutional, it is similar to the first succession law enacted by the Second Congress, which contained many of the men who framed the Constitution and voted for its ratification. The law of 1792 provided that the President pro tempore of the Senate or, if the …
