Trouble Behind The Great Wall: A Critical Look At Workers’ Rights In China., Scott Walther
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
Globalization has allowed large multinational corporations to shop for low cost labor markets with little intervention by governments. These markets are attractive to multinational corporations because their labor standards and laws tend to be poorly regulated and enforced. Specifically, China’s labor class has been abused and exploited by multinational corporations because of the country’s failure to adequately enforce its labor laws. Turning a blind eye to the violations of workers’ rights in China makes these corporations just as culpable by demanding more from the local manufacturers then evading responsibility for the resulting working conditions. Because multinational corporations do business with …

The Making Of A Communist Journalist: Rupert Lockwook, 1908-1940, Rowan Cahill
The Making Of A Communist Journalist: Rupert Lockwook, 1908-1940, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
The journalist/publicist Rupert Lockwood (1908-1997) was one of Australia’s best known Cold War communists, his name synonymous with the Royal Commission into Espionage in Australia, 1954-1955, as author of the notorious Document J. However the communist journalist did not spring fully formed into history. He joined the Australian Communist Party in 1939. This article traces Lockwood’s development as a journalist and his evolution as a communist between the wars. It is a story that ranges from small-town Western Victoria, and the West Wimmera Mail, to Melbourne and Sir Keith Murdoch’s Herald. In between, much of the world is traversed--significantly, South …

The report includes a complete audit of FCSC files for American claimants, an extensive review of the property claims systems employed …
Trial Of The Rosenbergs: An Account, Douglas O. Linder
Trial Of The Rosenbergs: An Account, Douglas O. Linder
Faculty Works
The Rosenberg Trial is the sum of many stories: a story of betrayal, a love story, a spy story, a story of a family torn apart, and a story of government overreaching. As is the case with many famous trials, it is also the story of a particular time: the early 1950's with its cold war tensions and headlines dominated by Senator Joseph McCarthy and his demagogic tactics. The Manhattan Project was the name given to the top-secret effort of Allied scientists to develop an atomic bomb. One of the Manhattan Project scientists working in Los Alamos was a British …

The Trials Of Alger Hiss: A Commentary, Douglas O. Linder
Faculty Works
No criminal case had a more far-reaching effects on modern American politics than the Alger Hiss-Whittaker Chambers spy case which held Americans spellbound in the middle of the twentieth-century. The case catapulted an obscure California congressman named Richard Nixon to national fame, set the stage for Senator Joseph McCarthy's notorious Communist-hunting, and marked the beginning of a conservative intellectual and political movement that would one day put Ronald Reagan in the White House. Even without its important influence on American political debate, the trials of Alger Hiss for perjury have the makings of a great drama. They featured two men …

Faculty Publications
Part I of this article briefly reviews the legal and social context of Dennis and Yates. Parts II and III similarly review Madsen and Schenck in order to show potential parallels to the earlier communist decisions. Part IV further examines both Madsen and Schenck, demonstrating that, from a doctrinal standpoint, they are far removed from the earlier communist cases. Finally, Part V explains how the Court in Madsen and Schenck actually contributed to misconceptions or manipulation of its opinions. Specifically, Part V examines the Madsen and Schenck Courts' approaches to three of the more difficult doctrinal issues facing them--prior restraint, …

Clandestine Speech And The First Amendment, Wallace Mendelson
Michigan Law Review
In a comment" written at the conclusion of the Communist leaders' trial Professor Nathanson noted that Judge Medina's instructions required for a verdict of guilty that the jury "find only that the defendants intended to accomplish the overthrow of government 'as speedily as circumstances would permit it to be achieved.' " This, wrote Professor Nathanson, was "inconsistent with the clear-and-present-danger test as formulated by Holmes and Brandeis, unless there were other circumstances in the facts actually presented which made that test inapplicable." A major part of the balance of the comment is an attempt to refute a suggestion that clandestine, …

Federal Courts-Disqualification Of District Judge For Prejudice- Sufficiency Of Affidavit, John C. Walker
Michigan Law Review
Defendants were indicted in a federal district court for conspiring to organize as the Communist Party of the United States and to advocate overthrowing the government by force or violence in violation of a federal statute. During argument on their motion for a 90-day extension, the judge remarked he thought "public policy might require that the matter be given prompt attention . . . when perhaps there may be some more of these fellows up to that sort of thing"; that "I am not going to give them anything like 90 days, I am going to tell you right now"; …
