A Reasoned Approach To The Reform Of Sex Offense Legislation, Ronald B. Schram Apr 1968

A Reasoned Approach To The Reform Of Sex Offense Legislation, Ronald B. Schram

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

Currently there is a widespread movement toward the revision of state criminal codes. The goals of such an undertaking are varied: (1) to reduce the size of the criminal law by eliminating inconsistent, overlapping, or obsolete provisions; (2) to phrase the prohibitions in clear and concise language; (3) to introduce more modern approaches to the definition and treatment of criminal offenses; and (4) to harmonize the penalty imposed for a particular act with the severity of the act and the penalty for other acts. This paper will concentrate on sex offenses in an attempt to understand the legislative process of …


Substantive Due Process And Felony Treatment Of Pot Smokers: The Current Conflict, F.H. Von U. Jan 1968

Substantive Due Process And Felony Treatment Of Pot Smokers: The Current Conflict, F.H. Von U.

Georgia Law Review

The Supreme Court, in recent years, has consistently reaffirmed a trend toward a fuller recognition of individual liberties. When these cherished incidents of American citizenship have conflicted with the real or imagined needs of society, the Court has applied a vital and expanding concept of due process to determine the proper balance of interests. It is now recognized that the State must demonstrate a truly rational basis for punishing individual conduct, aid where proscriptive rather than regulatory measures are enacted, legislation must carefully avoid jeopardizing harmless conduct, however offensive to public taste. Restrictive legislation must be grounded in fact, and …

Chronic Alcoholic Court Offenders: An Alternative To The Drunk Tank, Jack H. Watson, Jr

Georgia Law Review

T HE social problem of alcoholism may be divided into two categories: (1) that of the "visible" alcoholic or "chronic alcoholic court offender" whose illness is manifested hundreds of thousands of times per year either on city streets, or in countless city and county stockades acoss the country; and (2) that of the "invisible" alcoholic whose illness is just as serious, but whose social and economic position permits him to suffer through years of alcoholism without being arrested or taken before a magistrate for being drunk in public. It is estimated that over 6,500,000 persons in the United States are …

Comments And Casenotes: To Kill A Mockingbird - Star Decisis And M'Naghten In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson Apr 1966

Comments And Casenotes: To Kill A Mockingbird - Star Decisis And M'Naghten In Maryland, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

There are certain pillars of jurisprudence which, despite the erosive elements of time and progress, remain sacred. After more than a century of judicial dialogue the venerable M'Naghten Rule survives as the prevailing test to determine criminal responsibility. The rule states: "To establish a defense on the ground of insanity, it must be clearly proved that, at the time of the committing of the act, the party accused was labouring under such a defect of reason, from disease of the mind, as not to know the nature and quality of the act he was doing; or if he did know …

Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--State Jurisdiction To Prosecute Labor Organizers For Criminal Trespass, John W. Galanis May 1962

Labor Law--Federal Pre-Emption--State Jurisdiction To Prosecute Labor Organizers For Criminal Trespass, John W. Galanis

Michigan Law Review

Defendants, non-employee union organizers, entered the parking lot of a retail department store without permission for the sole purpose of distributing union material to the store's employees. After continued refusal to comply with requests to leave, the defendants were arrested, tried, and convicted of criminal trespass. It was contended that the trial court lacked jurisdiction because the National Labor Relations Act had pre-empted state control of the labor activities involved. On appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court, held, affirmed. State jurisdiction was justified not only by the state's interest in domestic peace and the protection of employer's property rights, …

Criminal Law - Insane Persons - Competency To Stand Trial, John H. Hess M.D., Henry B. Pearsall S.Ed., Donald A. Slichter S.Ed., Herbert E. Thomas M.D.

Michigan Law Review

Mental unsoundness in a person accused of a crime raises two distinct legal questions. One is the question of the individual's responsibility for his behavior and the other is the question of the individual's competency to enter into the legal procedures of trial or punishment. In recent years considerable attention has been given to matters of responsibility, but relatively little attention has been paid to the problem of incompetency and especially to the consequences of incompetency proceedings. In order to analyze and evaluate the operations of the Michigan law in the area of incompetency to stand trial, two psychiatrists joined …

Municipal Corporations - Statutory Liability For Mob Violence - Definition Of Correctional Power, Nathan B. Driggers Jan 1956

Municipal Corporations - Statutory Liability For Mob Violence - Definition Of Correctional Power, Nathan B. Driggers

Michigan Law Review

On August 12, 1947 eight Negro families moved into a Chicago public housing development which was occupied largely by white families. On the evening of August 14, several thousand people, protesting the Negro intrusion, congregated in the area, blocking traffic and brandishing bats, bricks, and stones. A large number of policemen were on duty at the scene. The automobile of the plaintiff, a Negro, was intercepted at an intersection by the crowd which began throwing bricks at the occupants of the car. The plaintiff was struck by one missile and suffered severe physical injury. He brought suit against the city …


Real Property - The Effect Of Zoning Ordinances On The Law Of Nuisance, Robert B. Fiske, Jr. S.Ed. Dec 1955

Real Property - The Effect Of Zoning Ordinances On The Law Of Nuisance, Robert B. Fiske, Jr. S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

One of the most interesting and least explored questions in the law of property is the effect of zoning ordinances on the law of nuisance. Particularly interesting is the extent to which statutory authorization by zoning can legalize a use of land which, in the absence of a zoning ordinance, would constitute a nuisance. In order to understand this problem fully it is necessary to begin with a general analysis of the law of nuisance and the various classifications into which it has been divided by the courts.
