Declaratory Remedies And Constitutional Change, David L. Dickson
Declaratory Remedies And Constitutional Change, David L. Dickson
Vanderbilt Law Review
The Federal Declaratory Judgment Act' has now been law for more than 36 years. The debates over whether a purely declaratory judgment can be the product of a justiciable "controversy" in the constitutional sense have long since passed away, set to rest by the language of the Act itself and by the Supreme Court's decision that the Act was authorized by the judiciary article of the Constitution. The last edition of Professor Borchard's great work, Declaratory Judgments, was published in 1941,and the most recent article analyzing the constitutional significance of the Act was published shortly before Chief Justice Warren took …
Pretrial Detention And The Eighth And Fourteenth Amendments, James Lowe
Pretrial Detention And The Eighth And Fourteenth Amendments, James Lowe
Cleveland State Law Review
It is in the intent of the writer of this paper to examine the conditions endured by indigent defendants through their pretrial detention in Cuyahoga County Jail with respect to the Constitutional prohibitions of "cruel and unusual" punishment and a denial of "equal protection of the laws." Cuyahoga County is better known as Cleveland, Ohio. Expediency requires that the important concept of the rights of indigent inmates as they relate to civil rights statutes, and particularly Title 42 U.S.C. Section 1983, not be considered here. It may be hoped, however, that the propositions and legal considerations put forth in this …

Delay In Notice Of Tort Claim Against A Government Agency, William P. Farrall
Delay In Notice Of Tort Claim Against A Government Agency, William P. Farrall
Cleveland State Law Review
Despite an onslaught of criticism and a rationale predicated on the discredited doctrine of Divine Right of Kings, the rule of sovereign immunity still exists in many states. As a result of this anachronism, municipalities and other subdivisions of state government have continued to escape liability for the tortious conduct of their agents. This situation has persisted despite a tendency by the courts to restrict rather than extend the principle of immunity. Statutory enactments such as short term notice provisions applied against potential plaintiffs by states and their subdivisions, when strictly construed by the courts, have had the effect of …

Women And The Equal Protection Clause, Eric R. Gilbertson
Cleveland State Law Review
The stance of the law in this respect, as with other social trends, has generally reflected the current attitudes that dominate the society it governs. Yet, as late as 1969, we still had judges on the appellate level taking judicial notice of the female's lesser capacity for sexual arousal, the sexual behavior of "the vast majority of women in a civilized society," and the "normal" behavior of a married woman in the presence of her husband in their bedroom;' all in a puritanically paternalistic fashion. This, and other absurd judicial pronouncements may have been what prompted one controversial attorney to …
The Constitution And The One-Sex College, Lizabeth A. Moody
The Constitution And The One-Sex College, Lizabeth A. Moody
Cleveland State Law Review
These cases bring into sharp focus the question whether the Constitution permits government-sponsored institutions of higher learning on the basis of sex. Such institutions have a lengthy history in this country and, during the early years of the Republic, were the rule rather than the exception. Tradition, however, is not the test of constitutional permissibility.
Judicial Control Over Passport Policy, Leon Hurwitz
Judicial Control Over Passport Policy, Leon Hurwitz
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper is concerned with the judiciary's role in influencing both the procedure and substance of one particular aspect of foreign policy, namely, the passport policy of the State Department. That a decision regarding passports is a foreign policy decision has long been advanced by the President and Secretary of State. It is generally accepted that the issuance and regulation of passports is an integral part of the general conduct of American foreign relation
Judicial Review In Italy And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers
Judicial Review In Italy And West Germany, Donald P. Kommers
Journal Articles
This is a comparative study of the constitutional courts of Italy and West Germany. These institutions, established in the 1950's, have settled hundreds of constitutional disputes. And their caseloads continue to rise in volume. The time seems ripe, therefore, briefly to review the work of these tribunals and to relate this work to the condition of constitutional democracy in the two polities. It should be remarked that this is not fundamentally a study in constitutional jurisprudence. The main purpose of this article is to see how judicial review has actually operated, what its effects have been, and what its future …
