Evidence - Admissibility Of Blood-Group Test May 1934

Evidence - Admissibility Of Blood-Group Test

Michigan Law Review

The old axiom, "blood will tell," has been given a new lease on life by the work of biochemists and hereditists in the last thirty years. At the beginning of the twentieth century a scientist, Karl Landsteiner, working on the means to make blood transfusions safe, discovered that the New Testament saying, the Almighty "hath made of one blood all nations of men," is not true. He found that human blood is divided into four groups, characterized by the possession or non-possession of certain substances in the serum and the corpuscles of the blood. If one puts a little blood …

Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson Nov 1931

Report On The Child Offender In The Federal System Of Justice, Fred R. Johnson

Michigan Law Review

The Report concerning child offenders in the federal system of justice is a joint report for the National Commission on Law Observance and Enforcement and the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection.

The New Soviet Codes And Soviet Justice, Pitirim Sorokin Nov 1924

The New Soviet Codes And Soviet Justice, Pitirim Sorokin

Michigan Law Review

Up to 1922 it is scarcely possible to speak of any justice, law, court and trial in Soviet Russia if we want to use these terms in their usual meanings. The years 1918-21 were the years of terror. And what this term means is clear from the following statement of Latzis, one of the heads of "The Extraordinary Commission for the Suppression of Counter-Revolution and Speculation" or the "Che-ka." "We do not carry on the war against the individuals: we are exterminating the bourgeoisie as a class. Do not look in the inquest for any material and for any evidences …
