Government Information And The Rights Of Citizens, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

This Project delineates the federal and state responses to these two fundamental societal concerns. The course of the discussion suggests the vitality of these concerns, and the flexibility and continuing development of the governmental responses. Clearly, the interests in maximizing disclosure of government-held information and minimizing the handling and dissemination of unnecessary or inaccurate personal information can conflict. The contours of this conflict, only intimated herein, will doubtless become more bold with the maturation of the opposing statutory schemes.

A Review: The Interaction Of Law And Religion, Frona Powell

IUSTITIA

The suggestion was made that the legal part of the report should be done first so that the other reporters could know what they could or could not suggest in making their proposals.

Whose Needy Children?, David L. Bazelon

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

As an appellate judge for twenty-five years, the author has been confronted daily with cases involving what we call "behavior problems." As a judge, he can tell you it is a distressing task to sift daily through the records detailing the wreckage of human lives. He does not speak only of criminal cases.

Cleveland State Law Review

This note will examine the manner in which the Psychological Stress Evaluator functions and explore the legal implications stemming from its use as a lie detector. More specifically, three issues which arise in connection with the use of the PSE will be discussed: first, the validity and reliability of the PSE; second, the admissibility of PSE test results in evidence; and third, the potential remedies for subjects of PSE tests who have occasion to object.
