Free Speech On Private Property, Daniel A. Silver Jan 1970

Free Speech On Private Property, Daniel A. Silver

Cleveland State Law Review

In our system of constitutional law the First Amendment right of freedom of speech has always maintained a preferred position. The Supreme Court of the United States, on numerous occasions, has proclaimed freedom of speech to be one of our most fundamental rights. An evolving problem in the area of free speech is the question of what constitutes a proper forum for the expression of First Amendment rights. This paper examines the use of private property as a forum for expression.

Federal And State Condemnation Proceedings--Procedure And Statutory Background, William E. Miller Oct 1961

Federal And State Condemnation Proceedings--Procedure And Statutory Background, William E. Miller

Vanderbilt Law Review

The development of our modern and complex society has necessitated a widespread appropriation of private property for public use. The vital importance of present-day eminent domain is emphasized by the staggering proportions of recent and proposed takings in terms of the amount of land appropriated, its monetary value, and the number of individual citizens whose property is affected. In the Middle District of Tennessee alone--of course a small part of the national total-in excess of 700 tracts or parcels of land have been condemned during the past seven and one-half years for various projects, including the Old Hickory Dam and …


Rules Of The Road On Private Land, Margaret Mazza Jan 1961

Rules Of The Road On Private Land, Margaret Mazza

Cleveland State Law Review

As the number of automobiles increases, and as a main attraction to retail merchandising becomes the amount of parking facilities available to customers, courts will be confronted more often with traffic accidents on private property. Whether the common law rules of negligence are used, or whether the statutory regulations are applied initially or indirectly by analogy, the courts will find it more and more important to settle this legal problem uniformly and realistically.


Eminent Domain - Procedure - Relation Of Judge And Jury In Michigan Condemnation Proceedings, John H. Jackson S.Ed. Dec 1959

Eminent Domain - Procedure - Relation Of Judge And Jury In Michigan Condemnation Proceedings, John H. Jackson S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

The relationship of judge to jury in Michigan condemnation proceedings presents in many ways a merger of some of the problems and questions contained in the relationship of judge to jury in civil trials, and of court to tribunal in administrative law. Theorists as well as the practicing lawyer in Michigan and some other states" may well find in the development of the Michigan condemnation proceeding an interesting example of the growth of a procedure for adjudication, in a context of cross-fire between legislative ideas and judicial interpretation of a constitutional provision.

Future Interests - Effect Of Eminent Domain Proceedings Feb 1936

Future Interests - Effect Of Eminent Domain Proceedings

Michigan Law Review

This study is concerned with the effect of condemnation proceedings upon future interests. The problems which arise are chiefly whether the owner of a future interest has such an interest in land as to be awarded a share of the fund given as compensation for the land, and if he does have such an interest as to be awarded a share, how it will be determined or apportioned to him and at what time. The first part of the study is a consideration of the question: what types of future interests are compensable? The second part involves an examination of …


Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute Jan 1936

Eminent Domain-Validity Of State Statute

Michigan Law Review

As upon certiorari, the New Mexico Supreme Court considered the question, whether it is "within legislative competence to declare a public use in the industry of coal mining, so as to permit taking private property in aid of it." Plaintiff had obtained a judgment of condemnation, and defendant attacked it as offensive to the New Mexico constitutional provision: "Private property shall not be taken or damaged for public use without just compensation." The opinion recognized the existence of an "orthodox" and a "liberal" doctrine of construing "public use." While the court found that, unlike Nevada's or Utah's, New Mexico's well-being …


Aerial Navigation Nov 1930

Aerial Navigation

Michigan Law Review

With the rapid increase of the use of the air by airplanes and other craft, courts are bound to be called upon frequently to determine the rights and liabilities of the owners and operators of aircraft with reference to other persons in various positions. It is probable that, as was found to be true in the cases of other new devices, the principles of the common law are sufficiently elastic and adaptable to determine the settlement of most, if not all, of the controversies.

In the recent case of Carey v. Donohue, 36 Sup. Ct. 386, the Supreme Court of the United States has passed on a question that has for years been vexing the Circuit Courts of Appeals, namely: When is the recording of a preferential transfer "required" under § 60 of the'Bankruptcy Act of 1898 as amended in 1903 and 1910. § 60a (as amended in 1903) defines a preference as a transaction by which property of an insolvent debtor is transferred, within four months before his bankruptcy, in such a way that the debt owing to one of his creditors will …
