Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett
Law Reform And Law For The Layman: A Challenge To Legal Education, Walter Barnett
Vanderbilt Law Review
Most of the current debate over academic neutrality has centered on whether the university as an institution--the faculty and students as a corporate body--should take formal positions on political issues, such as the war in Vietnam. This article will address the related, but perhaps more mundane, question whether law professors should take a more active role in providing legal services to government and to the public when this activity might provoke attacks on academic freedom. Traditionally, law professors who have sought to serve society in ways other than educating lawyers have engaged in the following five extramural activities:' (1) The …
Federalizing Through The Franchise: The Supreme Court And Local Government, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Federalizing Through The Franchise: The Supreme Court And Local Government, R. Perry Sentell Jr.
Scholarly Works
Decisionmaking at the local government level has been significantly affected by both national legislation and federal court decisions seeking to protect the right to vote. Indeed, Professor Sentell feels that the Supreme Court, through decisions invalidating restrictions on the franchise, has involved itself to an unparalleled degree in heretofore purely local affairs. In examining these decisions, the author queries if legitimate voting regulations may be now imposed by local governments. In so doing he focuses upon the Court's equal protection analysis of extraordinary majority vote requirements and elections restricted to certain segments of the electorate and upon the expansive judicial …
A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards
A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards
Michigan Law Review
It is not really surprising that so much attention has recently been given to the gross disparity in White v. Black participation in the legal profession. Indeed, the question of quality participation by Black lawyers is an irrelevant consideration until there is a real commitment to give Blacks equal access to the formerly all-white legal educational institutions. In examining the nature of this heretofore obvious (but only recently acknowledged) problem of Black underrepresentation within our society? (3) What must be done by the legal profession not only to alleviate the negative impact of such a shortage, but also to enhance …

For over one hundred years Congress and the federal courts have pursued the goal of racial equality in the United States. In areas such as voting rights, public accommodations, and housing, Congress and the courts have interacted closely, with broad judicial interpretations upholding major remedial legislation. Moreover, when confronted by official state sources of racial discrimination, courts have traditionally responded to the clear command of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment without awaiting congressional action. Brown v. Board of Education stands as perhaps the best known instance in which a court has, on its own, ordered the elimination …

An Anatomy of Values: Problems of Personal and Social Choice
Charles Reich, of Yale Law School, has given us a vision of a whole new society in The Greening of America. Charles Fried, of Harvard Law School, has more limited objectives in An Anatomy of Values: Problems of Personal and Social Choice. He is content for the moment to examine the nature of a rational end and, in light of this analysis, to discuss limited aspects of traditional ends such as morality and justice.

Review Of Law In A Changing America, Richard O. Lempert
Review Of Law In A Changing America, Richard O. Lempert
Reviews
This collection of essays, prepared as background reading for a conference sponsored by the American Assembly and the American Bar Foundation on the goals of the legal profession in the years ahead, begins and ends with a bow toward changing America. The first chapter is an attempt by sociologist Wilbert Moore, the only non-lawyer among the essayists, to sketch generally the patterns of social and political structure likely to pertain in the near future.
Ethical And Value Issues In Population Limitation And Distribution In The United States, Martin P. Golding, Naomi Holtzman Golding
Ethical And Value Issues In Population Limitation And Distribution In The United States, Martin P. Golding, Naomi Holtzman Golding
Vanderbilt Law Review
Any discussion of the ethical issues in population limitation and redistribution must begin by focusing upon the definition of "the problem," because how one views the problem, and its urgency and gravity, inevitably determines whether there is something that ought to be done and what it is that ought to be done.
As laymen in many of the areas that are relevant to the population problem, we are forced to rely on the expert knowledge of others. It would be highly salutary if there were a body of received opinion that could be used without hesitation. Unfortunately, on many crucial …

Constitutional Law--Obscenity--The Right To An Adversary Hearing On The Issue Of Obscenity Prior To The Seizure Of Furtively Distributed Films, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note will discuss the procedural safeguards that must be provided when allegedly obscene materials are seized prior to distribution. The discussion will emphasize a consideration of the question whether the procedural requirements with respect to the seizure of printed materials are also applicable to the seizure of films, particularly those films that are being or are intended to be furtively distributed.

Plea Bargaining: A Model Court Rule, Kenneth A. Kraus
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
It is not the purpose of this note to discuss the justification for the plea bargaining process, for it is clear that this system will of necessity be continued in the foreseeable future. Instead, this analysis is designed first to present the functional role, constitutional status and existing abuses in the plea bargaining process, and then to discuss the goals and the proposed standards relevant to reform of the present plea bargaining procedures. The culmination of this analysis is the proposed Model Court Rule for Plea Agreements in part III.
The Shareholder's Role In Corporate Social Responsibility, Thomas H. Hay
The Shareholder's Role In Corporate Social Responsibility, Thomas H. Hay
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
In The Modern Corporation and Private Property, Professors Berle and Means concluded that the corporation should serve the interests of all society and not solely the interests of its shareholders. This concept was a break from traditional corporate theory and the beginning of the theory of corporate social responsibility. The purpose of this article is to assess the modem shareholder's role in the implementation of this doctrine. Because Berle was one of the first to consider the role of the shareholder in enforcing the corporation's responsibility to society, this article will begin with a brief review of his ideas …

Civilizing University Discipline, Paul D. Carrington
Civilizing University Discipline, Paul D. Carrington
Michigan Law Review
It is the purpose of this Article to suggest that the criminal model is not the only possible system of university discipline. There are alternatives to be found in the operation of the civil courts and other administrative agencies that have received little consideration. It is a common, but mistaken, assumption that the proper way to deal with offensive conduct is by means of social punishment. The unfortunate consequences of a general tendency of legislatures to "overcriminalize" have been noted elsewhere. The trend in university discipline may be regarded as a special application of that tendency, or, at least, as …
