Legal Theory And The Pivotal Role Of The Concept Of Coercion, Dale A. Nance
Legal Theory And The Pivotal Role Of The Concept Of Coercion, Dale A. Nance
Faculty Publications
This paper addresses an important problem in modem legal philosophy: the problem of identifying the proper role of the concept of coercion in a general theory of the nature of law. The present state of philosophical art on this topic is the legacy of difficulties arising from a naive positivism - generally thought to have over-emphasized the role of coercive power. The resulting reaction in modem jurisprudence against the focus upon coercion reflects a failure to come to grips fully with the underlying methodological issues of descriptive legal theory.
Free Speech Or Economic Weapon? The Persisting Problem Of Picketing, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Free Speech Or Economic Weapon? The Persisting Problem Of Picketing, Theodore J. St. Antoine
Articles
"Peaceful picketing," the United States Supreme Court has said, "is the workingman's means of communication."' One line of analysis is that, as a means of communication, picketing is free speech and is therefore entitled to every constitutional protection afforded other forms of expression. This means that it cannot be subjected to special restrictions, such as antiboycott curbs, simply because it is picketing. The opposing line of analysis is that picketing is not simply speech; it is "speech plus." The "plus" element removes picketing from the realm of pure speech and enables it to be regulated in ways that the Constitution …

Land Without Plea Bargaining: How The Germans Do It, John H. Langbein
Land Without Plea Bargaining: How The Germans Do It, John H. Langbein
Michigan Law Review
The present Article demonstrates the error of this universalist theory of plea bargaining by showing how and why one major legal system, the West German, has so successfully avoided any form or analogue of plea bargaining in its procedures for cases of serious crime. The German criminal justice system functions without plea bargaining not by good fortune, but as a result of deliberate policies and careful institutional design whose essential elements are outlined in Part I. Part II addresses the American claims that a clandestine plea bargaining system lurks behind veils of German pretense.

Criminal Law- Reckless Endangerment And Coercion- Union Officials May Be Liable To Criminal Prosecution In Strike Of Essential Public Employees. People V. Vizzini, 78 Misc. 2d 1040, 359 N.Y.S.2d 143 (Sup. Ct. 1974)., James Clark Quinn
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Defendants, officers of the Uniformed Firefighters Association (UFA), were charged with reckless endangerment in the second degree, attempted coercion, reckless endangerment of property, and related crimes. The basis of these charges was the five and one-half hour New York City fireman's strike called by defendants despite express Taylor Law prohibitions against strikes by public employees. Defendants moved to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that a strike by firemen could not be the basis of a criminal prosecution, arguing that the Taylor Law provided the exclusive remedies and sanctions for public employee labor disputes. The New York Supreme Court denied …
Justifications For Paternalism, Donald H. Regan
Justifications For Paternalism, Donald H. Regan
Book Chapters
One of the most troublesome problems concerning the appropriate extent of government interference with individuals' activity is the problem of paternalism-that is, the problem of when, if ever, the state may compel an individual to do or to refrain from some act or activity "for his own good." One would hardly know this was a troublesome problem just from looking at the literature on political and legal philosophy. It is hard to think of an influential philosophical discussion of the matter more recent than John Stuart Mill's. But paternalism is a problem which keeps coming up in discussions among philosophers …

Logic And Coercion In Bentham's Theory Of Law, David B. Lyons
Logic And Coercion In Bentham's Theory Of Law, David B. Lyons
Faculty Scholarship
Unlike conventional moral standards and other social rules, laws can be deliberately laid down and changed by specified procedures. It therefore seems reasonable to think of laws as issuing from or adopted by lawmakers who are ordinary human beings. Since laws tell us what must or must not be done, and since there is some temptation to understand all laws on the same pattern, it is natural to think of them as either commands or prohibitions. This is indeed a traditional view.

Involuntary Confessions And Article 35, Criminal Procedure Code, Stanley Z. Fisher
Involuntary Confessions And Article 35, Criminal Procedure Code, Stanley Z. Fisher
Faculty Scholarship
Improper methods of police interrogation are known to every country in the world. And everywhere, it is agreed that an accused's confession of guilt which has been procured through physical violence, psychological intimidation, or improper inducements or promises cannot be considered in evidence against him at trial. The primary reason why involuntary confessions are excluded from evidence is that they are unreliable indices of truth; men have been known to admit crimes of which they are innocent, simply to escape the pain of torture or to obtain an irresistible benefit.
Advising A Witness To Exercise His Privilege Against Self-Incrimination When The Adviser's Motive Is To Protect Himself Is An Obstruction Of Justice-Cole V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Advising A Witness To Exercise His Privilege Against Self-Incrimination When The Adviser's Motive Is To Protect Himself Is An Obstruction Of Justice-Cole V. United States, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
Defendant, who had perjured himself before a federal grand jury, feared that the testimony of his former employee before the same body would reveal the perjury. Knowing that the employee had previously filed a false affidavit with the McClellan Committee, defendant was able to persuade him to invoke his constitutional privilege against self-incrimination. When the former employee later voluntarily made a full disclosure to government agents, defendant was indicted by a second grand jury and convicted of corruptly endeavoring to obstruct the administration of justice in violation of section 1503 of the Federal Criminal Code. On appeal to the Court …

Promotion By Oil Company Of Tba Products Held Violative Of Ftc Section 5--Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. V. Ftc, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Atlantic Refining Company entered into an agreement with the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company which provided that Atlantic would receive a commission on all tires, batteries, and accessories (TBA) sold by Atlantic's wholesale and retail dealers. This commission was to be paid Atlantic in consideration for assistance given in promoting Goodyear products to the independent Atlantic service station operators. After an investigation of these agreements the Federal Trade Commission issued a complaint against Goodyear and Atlantic charging them with violating section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. Evidence introduced at a hearing before a Federal Trade Commission trial …
The Role Of A Trial Jury In Determining The Voluntariness Of A Confession, Michigan Law Review
The Role Of A Trial Jury In Determining The Voluntariness Of A Confession, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The Supreme Court of the United States has vigorously implemented the principle that criminal prosecution is an investigative, not an inquisitorial, process. Evidence of guilt must be obtained by methods free from physical or psychological coercion. Protections in the Bill of Rights against illegal search and seizure, self-incrimination, and trial without counsel have been extended to the states through the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment. Safeguards against the admissibility of coerced confessions into evidence have also been instituted. Because a confession practically determines the ultimate question of guilt, the critical standards for· admissibility are frequently challenged on appeal. …

Habeas Corpus - Procedural Prerequisites - Motion Denied For Failure To Appeal Convicion Despite Failure Being Excusable, Harvey O. Mierke Jr.
Habeas Corpus - Procedural Prerequisites - Motion Denied For Failure To Appeal Convicion Despite Failure Being Excusable, Harvey O. Mierke Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff was convicted of robbery in a federal district court and, although represented by counsel, failed to appeal within the statutory ten-day period. Three months later he filed a motion in the same court under section 2255 of the judicial code to vacate the sentence on the ground that the conviction, because it was based on a coerced confession, was unconstitutionally obtained without due process of law. The motion was denied and the denial affirmed, in the absence of any attempt to excuse the failure to appeal. On reargument, plaintiff attempted to excuse his failure to appeal by alleging that …
I Am Not My Guest's Keeper, Warren A. Seavey
I Am Not My Guest's Keeper, Warren A. Seavey
Vanderbilt Law Review
The laisez-faire policy of the common law recently won a resounding victory in Pennsylvania. In an action for the death of her husband, the plaintiff alleged that he was invited by the defendant to visit the latter's land for a consultation upon problems common to their work, strip-mining for coal, which requires deep cuts in the land from which it is necessary to remove accumulated water; that during the conversation the defendant invited the deceased to aid in the repair of a pump in one of the water-filled cuts; that the defendant, by "urging, enticing, taunting and inveigling" his visitor, …
Bid Depositories, George H. Schueller
Bid Depositories, George H. Schueller
Michigan Law Review
The decision by the United States District Court for the Southern District of California in the civil antitrust case of United States v. Bakersfield Associated Plumbing Contractors, Inc. brought in its wake considerable renewed interest, discussion, and activities concerning "bid depositories." This is apparent from the trade press and from inquiries reaching the Antitrust Division, including a number of requests for clearance of bid depository plans through so-called "railroad release" procedures. Even more recently, institution of the civil and criminal antitrust cases of United States v. Arizona Masonry and Plastering Contractors' Association provided further stimulation. The term "renewed" interest and …

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Judicial Review Of Jury Determination On Coerced Character Of Confession, James M. Potter S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, suspected of the murder of his parents, was subjected to intensive police interrogation culminating in a confession to a state-employed psychiatrist. Petitioner had been allowed only a small amount of sleep and was suffering from a sinus condition when he was introduced to the psychiatrist, who was represented as a general practitioner. The questioning of the psychiatrist, who was skilled in hypnosis, was a subtle blend of threats and promises of leniency. Within the next three and one-half hours petitioner also confessed to a police captain, a business associate, and two assistant state prosecutors. The confession to the psychiatrist …

Petitioner was arrested on suspicion of robbery and the next day confessed the theft of a car owned by a person who had been found dead a month previous. On the following evening, after a four and one-half hour "interview" with two F.B.I. agents, he "broke down and confessed the killing." Other confessions were made the next day and finally, after a detention of five days from the day of arrest, petitioner was taken before a committing magistrate. He was found guilty of murder at a trial in which these confessions were used against him. He sued out a writ …
Unemployment Compensation-Effect Of The Merits Of A Labor Dispute On The Right To Benefits, Robert H. Frick S. Ed.
Unemployment Compensation-Effect Of The Merits Of A Labor Dispute On The Right To Benefits, Robert H. Frick S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Every state and territorial unemployment compensation act contains a provision disqualifying persons from receiving benefits whose unemployment is the result of a labor dispute or some form thereof. In most states these provisions have been applied to deny benefits to striking or locked-out workers regardless of the merits of the particular controversy. A few states have adopted provisions permitting at least a limited investigation into the question of fault. It is the purpose of this comment to discuss the extent to which the merits of labor disputes are and should be considered in determining workers' rights to benefits.

Criminal Law-Confessions Obtained Prior To Commitment-What Constitutes Unreasonable Delay, B. J. George, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Defendants were arrested on suspicion of murder and questioned by police. Defendants confessed after being held incommunicado for some hours during the night, but were not arraigned until the following morning. The confessions were admitted in evidence and defendants found guilty. On appeal, held, affirmed. There had not been an unreasonable delay in producing defendants before a commissioner, because the length of time in hours was not unreasonable and because committing magistrates are not available late at night. Garner v. United States, (App. D.C., 1949) 174 F. (2d) 499.
Duress Through Civil Litigation: I, John P. Dawson
Duress Through Civil Litigation: I, John P. Dawson
Michigan Law Review
Duress through the use of civil litigation provides a convenient starting point for an analysis of modern doctrines of economic duress. The propriety of this form of pressure, used alone or in conjunction with other means of coercion, may become an issue in a variety of situations in which relief for duress is asked. At the same time it is in this area that the extension of duress as a remedial principle has encountered the greatest resistance.
Labor Law -Loss Of Majority Support By Representative With Whom Employer Has Been Ordered To Bargain, Charles J. O' Laughlin
Labor Law -Loss Of Majority Support By Representative With Whom Employer Has Been Ordered To Bargain, Charles J. O' Laughlin
Michigan Law Review
The National Labor Relations Board found that the employer (respondent) had been guilty of unfair labor practices by interfering with the employees' right to unionize and by refusing to bargain collectively with the Pioneer Tobacco Workers' Local Industrial Union No. 55 when the latter had been designated as the bargaining agent by a majority of the employees in an appropriate bargaining unit. During the proceedings before the board a motion for leave to intervene was filed by an independent union claiming the support of a majority of the employees, but the motion was denied by the board. The board ordered …
