Appeal And Error - Effect Of Rule That Appellate Court Can Take Notice Of The Failure Of The Defendant To Testify, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

In affirming a conviction on an indictment for conspiracy to cheat and defraud, the Illinois Appellate Court, an intermediate court of appeals, decided that the evidence was sufficient to justify the jury in concluding that the representations made by the defendants were false.

Constitutional Law - Federal Courts - Law To Be Applied In Cases Of Diversity Of Citizenship - Swift V. Tyson Overrule, Frank B. Stone

Michigan Law Review

A recent personal injury case, Erie Railroad v. Tompkins, arose in the federal district court, based upon diversity of citizenship, in which the defendant urged that state judicial decisions of Pennsylvania, the locus delicti, imposed no liability on it for negligence to trespassers. The plaintiff denied that such was the Pennsylvania law and alternatively replied that the issue of law was one to be determined by the federal court without regard to the law of Pennsylvania. On April 25, 1938, a verdict for the plaintiff was unanimously set aside by the Supreme Court. Two members, Justices Butler and McReynolds, …

Injunctions - Courts - Labor Law - Power Of A State Court To Enjoin National Labor Relations Board Officials, Amos J. Coffman

Michigan Law Review

The Circuit Court of Washtenaw County, Michigan, recently issued an injunction enjoining the regional officials of the National Labor Relations Board from holding a scheduled hearing in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The injunction was issued on the theory that if any unfair labor practices were being practiced by the Ann Arbor Press (a local job printer charged with violating the act) they did not affect interstate commerce and hence were not within the jurisdiction of the board. The injunction was at least temporarily effective. The hearing was not held in Ann Arbor. The regional office of the board in Detroit withdrew …

Waters And Watercourses - Extent Of Riparian Land -Compensation On Condemnation, G. M. Stevens

Michigan Law Review

In a recent case compensation was sought for the taking of riparian land for public use. The Supreme Court of Nebraska held that the award should be limited to damages to those sections of land {by the government plat) bordering on the stream. A decision note in this REVIEW criticized that ruling. It was there said that proximity to riparian land might add value even to non-riparian land. Later a rehearing of the case was granted and a new opinion filed. Held, "damages . . . are not limited to governmental sections a part of which is included in …

The Development And Evaluation Of Judicial Review [Part 2], C. Perry Patterson

Washington Law Review

In the previous portion of this article, Mr. Patterson attributed the American Revolution to the tyrannies resulting from the failure of the British government to provide for judicial review of acts of the central government as well as of the acts of the local governments. After noting a resulting desire among the former colonists to substitute constitutional supremacy for legislative supremacy, Mr. Patterson observed the use of judicial review in the courts of several of the states prior to the Convention of 1787, pointed out the embodiment of its principles in the enactments of the Congress of the Confederation in …
