Witnesses - Privilege Of Communications Between Physician And Patient Applicable To Nonjudicial Proceedings, Alfred I. Rothman

Michigan Law Review

Pursuant to section 43 of the city charter, the City Council of New York appointed a special committee to investigate charges of negligence and maladministration in the treatment of patients at Lincoln Hospital. Subpoenas duces tecum were served upon the commissioner of hospitals and upon the medical superintendent of Lincoln Hospital requiring the production of hospital records, including case records relating to certain named patients. The commissioner refused to produce any of the case cards or records, justifying his position on the ground that the physician-patient privilege was applicable to legislative investigations. The New York Civil Practice Act, section 354, …

Evidence - Photographs - Admission To Show Physical Condition Of Person, Michigan Law Review Apr 1941

Evidence - Photographs - Admission To Show Physical Condition Of Person, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff's daughter was killed by the wrongful act of defendant. In a suit to recover for pecuniary injury through loss of financial aid, a photograph of decedent (a pretty girl) was introduced and admitted over objections of defendant that the photograph could serve no purpose relative to the issues, but would excite the sympathy of the jury to the prejudice of the defendant. Held, that no error was committed in admitting the photograph since the decedent's probable contributions for the benefit of her parents depended largely upon "the kind of a girl she was" and the photograph was some …

Administrative Law - Scope Of Judicial Review - Doctrine Of The Ben Avon Case- Independent Determination By Court Of Both Law And Facts Where Confiscation Question Involved, Alfred I. Rothman Jan 1941

Administrative Law - Scope Of Judicial Review - Doctrine Of The Ben Avon Case- Independent Determination By Court Of Both Law And Facts Where Confiscation Question Involved, Alfred I. Rothman

Michigan Law Review

A recent decision by the United States Supreme Court renders desirable a reexamination of the scope of judicial review of orders and decisions made by administrative bodies, and more specifically a reexamination of the doctrine of the Ben Avon case. There are several possibilities as to the finality that may be accorded to administrative fact determinations: first, findings may be conclusive and binding upon the reviewing court; second, they may be conclusive if supported by substantial evidence; third, they may be subject to independent determination by the court. To what extent, if any, the scope of review should take the …

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Use Of Involuntary Confessions In Criminal Cases, Reed T. Phalan Dec 1940

Constitutional Law - Due Process - Use Of Involuntary Confessions In Criminal Cases, Reed T. Phalan

Michigan Law Review

The practice of wringing confessions from the lips of persons accused of crime forms a substantial blot on the history of the medieval administration of criminal law. Never legalized in England, the practice early earned the condemnation of writers and criticism of courts. From a recognition of human rights and a perception of the unreliability of statements extorted by violence, evolved the general rule, now long recognized in England and the United States, that the accused's involuntary confession is inadmissible in evidence against him. Recently this rule of evidence has been implemented by the recognition of the United States Supreme …


The Premises Of The Judgment As Res Judicata In Continental And Anglo-American Law, Robert Wyness Millar Dec 1940

The Premises Of The Judgment As Res Judicata In Continental And Anglo-American Law, Robert Wyness Millar

Michigan Law Review

The newly reconstituted Supreme Court of the United States has become the center of an earnest controversy with respect to the true role of the Court in constitutional interpretation. The general controversy is, of course, far from new. What makes it of more than ordinary significance is that the Court itself is revealing a tendency substantially to alter the extent, if not the nature, of judicial review. This tendency has not yet become clearly dominant, but it is apparent enough to shake the implicit faith in the Court of many of those to whom, before 1937, any criticism of the …


Wigmore On Evidence-A Review, John E. Tracy Dec 1940

Wigmore On Evidence-A Review, John E. Tracy

Michigan Law Review

In 1887 John Henry Wigmore graduated from Harvard Law School. Only four years later, in 1891, there came from his pen an article in the Harvard Law Review entitled "Nemo Tenetur Seipsum Prodere," which showed to the profession that there had arrived at the bar a writer who was not only a deep student of legal history and knew his law of evidence, but who had no hesitation in smashing images, regardless of how sacredly they had theretofore been worshiped.


Federal Courts - Deposition-Discovery Practice - Rule 26 And Hearsay Evidence, Jamille G. Jamra Dec 1940

Federal Courts - Deposition-Discovery Practice - Rule 26 And Hearsay Evidence, Jamille G. Jamra

Michigan Law Review

In an action for personal injuries suffered in defendant's store, plaintiff moved for an order requiring one Jackson to answer certain questions propounded to him at the taking of his deposition. Jackson, an investigator for defendant's insurer, had ascertained certain facts from witnesses to the accident. The questions, to which Jackson objected on the ground of privilege, sought to elicit the number and names of persons who he learned were present at the accident. Held, the motion should be denied on the ground that the evidence sought was hearsay. Poppino v. Jones Store Co., (D. C. Mo. 1940) …


Searches And Seizures - Constitutionality Of Statute Providing For Issuance Of Search Warrant On Affidavit On Information And Belief, William C. Wetherbee Dec 1940

Searches And Seizures - Constitutionality Of Statute Providing For Issuance Of Search Warrant On Affidavit On Information And Belief, William C. Wetherbee

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff demanded a writ of prohibition against the defendant, a justice of the peace, to prevent his proceeding to determine ownership of trademarked milk bottles seized from plaintiff's milk truck under a search warrant. A statute required the issuance of a search warrant when any person made affidavit that he had reason to believe and did believe that trademarked receptacles were being wrongfully held. Held, writ of prohibition granted since the statute was unconstitutional in requiring the issuance of a search warrant without a showing of facts constituting probable cause, and in allowing the affiant instead of the judicial …

Evidence - Federal Communications Act - Admissibility Of Evidence Which Became Accessible By Wire-Tapping, Edmond F. Devine May 1940

Evidence - Federal Communications Act - Admissibility Of Evidence Which Became Accessible By Wire-Tapping, Edmond F. Devine

Michigan Law Review

Petitioners were convicted under a federal indictment for frauds on the revenue. The United States Supreme Court reversed the conviction on the ground it was obtained by use of evidence secured in violation of section 605 of the Communications Act of 1934 by wire-tapping. A new trial resulted in conviction and eventually the Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari to consider the question whether evidence indirectly obtained by that wire-tapping could be admitted despite the first holding. Held, such evidence is inadmissible on the basis that to rule otherwise would largely nullify the doctrine previously laid down. Nardone …


Trial - Directed Verdict Where Testimony Is Conflicting, Edward S. Biggar May 1940

Trial - Directed Verdict Where Testimony Is Conflicting, Edward S. Biggar

Michigan Law Review

Defendants engaged the plaintiff to repair a barn roof. In his suit to recover damages for injuries sustained while on the defendants' premises, the plaintiff testified that he had been struck by a truck which one of the defendants had been driving. The defendants testified that they had discovered the plaintiff lying injured at the side of the barn, near a ladder which had been placed against it. Defendants moved for a directed verdict, which was denied, and after a verdict for the plaintiff, defendants appealed from the denial of their motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Held, that …
