The Discriminating Role, Philip A. Hart

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The controversy which arose in the summer of 1968 over the nomination of Mr. Justice Abe Fortas to be Chief Justice of the United States has raised serious questions about the proper role of the Senate in advising and consenting to such nominations. That Sen. Hart’s remarks may be read in perspective, it should be mentioned that he supported strongly the nomination of Mr. Fortas. Hart believes that were it not for the unique circumstances of the summer of 1968- the erosion of the power of the President with the approach of a political campaign, the nearness of the end …

The Power Of District Judges And The Responsibility Of Courts Of Appeals, Paul D. Carrington

Georgia Law Review

FOR some years, the most prestigious commentator on federal practice, Charles A. Wright, has been expressing concern about the apparent evolution of the relation between trial and appellate courts, particularly in the federal judicial system. With his distinguished colleague, Leon Green, he has deplored the fact that "the appellate courts have drawn unto themselves practically all the power of the judicial system."  Although sympathetic with the desires of appellate judges to achieve right results in cases coming before them, Professor Wright urges that this desire has too often been permitted to predominate, that our appellate judges have too often failed …

Review Of Concerning Dissent And Civil Disobedience, By A. Fortas, Terrance Sandalow

Reviews

Noah Chomsky has written of Justice Fortas' essay that it "is not serious enough for extended discussion." It would be a mistake to dismiss the essay so lightly. The prestige of Justice Fortas' office almost inevitably will gain for the essay an audience it would not otherwise have had, among whom will be those who will confuse the office with the argument. For some this confusion will insulate the argument from criticism. For others it will tarnish the office.

Temporary Judicial Assignments: An Invaluable Tool For Effective Judicial Administration, Joseph D. Tydings

University of Richmond Law Review

One of the great strengths of the Federal judicial system is the ability to shift judicial manpower to meet critical caseload demands. This administrative authority is a statutory creation, first incorporated in the United States Code on the suggestion of Chief Justice William Howard Taft.' Because temporary judicial assignments are premised upon a statutory foundation, it is the particular responsibility of Congress to see that those assignments are used to effectuate the Congressional intent and, thereby, alleviate the critical caseload bottlenecks in the Federal judicial system. As Chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Improvements in Judicial Machinery I conducted hearings …

Earl Warren, The "Warren Court," And The Warren Myths, Philip B. Kurland

Michigan Law Review

"It" is not enough for the knight of romance," Justice Holmes once reminded us, "that you agree that his lady is a very nice girl-if you do not admit that she is the best that God ever made or will make, you must fight." So, too, with the admirers of the Chief Justice and their "fair lady." For the moment, Earl Warren is enjoying the lavish praise that is not uncommonly ladled out when a man voluntarily decides to end a long and important government career. The contents of this issue of the Michigan Law Review may be taken as …

As the twentieth century ends, we hear recounted the story of the law revolution that began in the 1960's and reached its fulfillment with the constitutional amendment that replaced the Supreme Court with nine outstanding JUDIVACs, who formed the High-Voltage Bench. Little-known details of these momentous events are explained.

The Appellate Judiciary Of Georgia And Contempt Out Of Court, D. Greir Stephenson, Jr.

Georgia Law Review

TO state the obvious, contempt of court is a broad topic, and this article is not the place for an exhaustive treatment of the various types of contempt-civil and criminal, direct and indirect. Instead, the focus is on one variety of indirect or constructive contempt: that arising from criticism of a judge, spoken or written outside the courtroom. To limit the subject in such a way precludes discussion of other inter- estng aspects of contempt law, but perhaps the advantages gained from sharp perspective and clear concentration more than offset the disadvantages incurred from a narrowed concern.The law of constructive …

Preliminary Notes Toward A Study Of Judicial Notice, E. F. Roberts

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

The author describes the common law as a "machine," with judges and lawyers as its working parts. He explains that its successful operation requires a kind of "intellectual adrenalin" in order to keep it responsive to its changing environment. This is the function of judicial notice. The author next examines the different views of judicial notice and points out that each is a reflection of the era in which it was created. He concludes that judicial notice is not a distinct doctrine like the hearsay rule, but rather is simply the art of thinking as practiced within the legal system.
