Criminal Law-Confessions And Due Process, Harold G. Christensen S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was arrested on suspicion of robbery and the next day confessed the theft of a car owned by a person who had been found dead a month previous. On the following evening, after a four and one-half hour "interview" with two F.B.I. agents, he "broke down and confessed the killing." Other confessions were made the next day and finally, after a detention of five days from the day of arrest, petitioner was taken before a committing magistrate. He was found guilty of murder at a trial in which these confessions were used against him. He sued out a writ …

Constitutional Law-Fourteenth Amendment-Discrimination In Selection Of Grand Jurors, Alan C. Boyd S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Defendant's conviction of murder was affirmed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, which rejected defendant's claim that discrimination in selection of the indicting grand jury had violated his constitutional rights. Defendant pointed out that the Negro proportion of grand jurors had uniformly been less than the ratio of Negroes to the total population of the county, and that on the past twenty-one lists the commissioners had consistently limited the number of Negroes to not more than one on each grand jury. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed. Limitation of the number of Negroes on …

Habeas Corpus-Exhaustion Of State Remedies-Denial Of Certiorari By Supreme Court As Condition To Obtaining Original Writ In Federal District Court, B. J. George, Jr. S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The expanded concept of due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment during the past thirty years has brought increased inquiry by the federal courts into state criminal procedure. A common method of bringing such matters to the Supreme Court's attention has been the use of habeas corpus, particularly following confinement. But this increased vigilance over state criminal procedure has wrought an increasingly tender conscience on the part of the federal courts over resulting interference with state court systems. The theoretical problem has been further amplified on the practical level by the flood of petitions, largely frivolous or perjured, by …
Citizenship-Intent Required For Expatriation, Willis B. Snell S. Ed.
Citizenship-Intent Required For Expatriation, Willis B. Snell S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In recent years, many cases have involved the question whether an American citizen has expatriated himself by his actions. Expatriation in the United States is now covered by statute, but the courts, in construing these statutes, have faced a recurrent problem as to what intent on the part of the citizen is required to effect expatriation. To interpret the present doctrine, it is necessary to examine the history of expatriation, the statutes, and the various situations in which the question of intent has arisen.

Aliens-Naturalization-"Good Moral Character" Under The Nationality Act, Jean Engstrom S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner owned and operated a saloon but, because operators' licenses are not issued to aliens in Louisiana, he had obtained his license in his son's name since 1943. From 1923 to 1942 he was convicted of five liquor law violations: two acts were punished by both state and federal authorities in 1923 and 1924; the fifth conviction was for violation of the Sunday laws in 1942. He had been arrested at other times for liquor violations and for operating slot machines, but the record showed no disposition of these cases. He had lived in Louisiana for forty-six years, and his …

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Right Of Condemned Prisoner To A Hearing On Claim Of Supervening Insanity, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was convicted of murder in a Georgia court and sentenced to die by electrocution. He made application to the governor to postpone execution on the ground that he had become insane after conviction. The governor, acting under authority of a state statute, appointed three physicians who conducted an examination of petitioner and found him sane. Thereupon, petitioner filed a petition for a writ of habeas corpus in a state court contending that the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment entitled him to a hearing on his insanity claim before a judicial or administrative tribunal at which he could …

Constitutional Law-Corporations-Artificial "Persons" And The Fourteenth Amendment, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
That a corporation is a "person" for certain purposes within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment, and therefore entitled to invoke its protection, is considered by students of constitutional law to be well settled. For that reason the dissent of Justice Douglas in the recent case of Wheeling Steel Corporation v. Glander demands more than passing recognition. Therein he restates and adds his support to the view of Justice Black that the word "person" as used in the Fourteenth Amendment refers exclusively to human beings and affords no protection whatsoever to corporations against arbitrary state action.

Constitutional Law-Due Process-Right To Counsel In State Courts, Charles Myneder
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Right To Counsel In State Courts, Charles Myneder
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was tried before a jury on a charge of larceny, convicted and sentenced to a penitentiary term. He did not request counsel, and the court made no offer to appoint counsel. In the course of the trial, petitioner was prejudiced by his failure to object to certain errors in evidence. In a petition for habeas corpus in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, he alleged denial of a constitutional right of counsel. On answer, it was averred that in petitioner's conduct of his own defense he displayed a "familiarity with legal process in the criminal courts." A transcript of petitioner's …

Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-Foreign Corporations-Discriminatory Intangibles Tax, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-Foreign Corporations-Discriminatory Intangibles Tax, Robert P. Griffin S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
An Ohio statute required foreign corporations doing business within the state to pay an ad valorem tax on accounts receivable which arose through outstate sales of goods shipped from warehouses within the state, even though the sales were consummated by an agent maintaining his office without the state. Such intangibles were declared by the Ohio statutory formula to have a situs within the state. At the same time, the accounts receivable of Ohio residents and domestic corporations which were derived from outstate sales by agents having their offices without the state were exempt, even though the goods were shipped from …

Constitutional Law-Due Process Of Law-Freedom From Unreasonable Search And Seizure-The Admissibility Of Illegally Seized Evidence, Bernard Goldstone S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Local police officers entered the private office of petitioner, a practising physician, without a warrant and seized his private books and records. As a result of the information thus obtained, petitioner was convicted of conspiracy to perform an abortion. Petitioner claimed that his constitutional rights were invaded contending that due process of law under the Fourteenth Amendment includes freedom from unreasonable search and seizure and prevents the admission of illegally seized evidence, but this was denied by the Supreme Court of Colorado and the conviction was affirmed. On certiorari to the Supreme Court of the United States, held, affirmed, …

Constitutional Law-Equal Protection-Traffic Regulation Forbidding Advertising On Moving Vehicles, W. M. Myers S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A traffic regulation of the City of New York provides that "[n]o person shall operate, or cause to be operated, in or upon any street an advertising vehicle; provided that nothing herein contained shall prevent the putting of business notices upon business delivery vehicles, so long as such vehicles are engaged in the usual business or regular work of the owner and not used merely or mainly for advertising.''

Labor Law-Constitutional Law-State Anti-Closed Shop Legislation Upheld, Jerry S. Mccroskey S. Ed.
Labor Law-Constitutional Law-State Anti-Closed Shop Legislation Upheld, Jerry S. Mccroskey S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Appellant, a local union of the American Federation of Labor, sought a declaratory judgment and equitable relief in the Nebraska courts as a result of appellee's refusal to discharge certain employees who had failed to maintain membership in the union. The employer relied on an anti-closed shop amendment to the Nebraska Constitution forbidding discrimination in employment on the basis of affiliation with a union and prohibiting contracts for this purpose. Appellant's assertions of invalidity of the amendment under the Federal Constitution were rejected by the state courts. Upon appeal to the United States Supreme Court, held affirmed, all justices concurring. …
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Federal Right To Counsel In Non-Capital Cases In State Courts, J. D. Mcleod
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Federal Right To Counsel In Non-Capital Cases In State Courts, J. D. Mcleod
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was convicted in Illinois on pleas of guilty to two indictments charging him with a non-capital offense. On writ of error to the Supreme Court of Illinois, petitioner alleged that the trial court had not inquired into his desire or ability to have counsel and that he had been convicted without having had assistance of counsel. His contention that the circumstances alleged constituted a violation of the State and Federal Constitutions was overruled, and the judgments of the lower court affirmed. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held affirmed. The due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment …
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Right Of Prisoner Condemned To Death To Hearing On His Sanity, E. Blythe Stason Jr.
Constitutional Law-Due Process-Right Of Prisoner Condemned To Death To Hearing On His Sanity, E. Blythe Stason Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner, sentenced to death in California for murder, obtained a judicial stay of execution on the ground that he had become insane since sentence had been passed. Eighteen days later he was certified as sane by the medical superintendent of the state hospital, who made this determination by an ex parte examination without giving petitioner notice or opportunity of hearing. A new date for execution was then set. The applicable statute provided a procedure, enforceable by mandamus, whereby a sentenced prisoner could obtain a hearing on his sanity. The petitioner, without seeking mandamus to compel the warden to act, applied …
Habeas Corpus-Federal Courts-Exhaustion Of State Remedies, E. W. Rothe, Jr.
Habeas Corpus-Federal Courts-Exhaustion Of State Remedies, E. W. Rothe, Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner's writ of habeas corpus, alleging denial of due process of law in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment, was quashed on the merits by an inferior Florida court whose action was affirmed without opinion by the Florida Supreme Court. It was impossible to ascertain whether the affirmance was on the merits or on the ground that, under Florida law, habeas corpus was not the proper procedure to raise the due process issue. A later decision by the Florida Supreme Court clearly established that the prior case had been decided on the merits of the constitutional question, and that habeas corpus …
