Judges--Motion For New Trial--Death Of Trial Judge Before Hearing On Motion For New Trial, Albert B. Perlin, Jr. Dec 1948

Judges--Motion For New Trial--Death Of Trial Judge Before Hearing On Motion For New Trial, Albert B. Perlin, Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Judgment was entered upon a jury verdict for the plaintiff. Defendants thereupon filed their intention to move for a new trial, but before the motion could be heard the trial judge died and assignment was made for hearing before another judge of the same court. Section 661 of the California Code of Civil Procedure directed that, "The motion for new trial shall be heard and determined by the judge who presided at the trial; provided, however, that in case of the inability of such judge or if at the time noticed for hearing thereon he is absent from the county …

Report Of Committee On The Retirement Of Judges, Alfred J. Schweppe

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Jurist In Limine: Views On Judicial Precedent, A. J. Levin Feb 1948

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Jurist In Limine: Views On Judicial Precedent, A. J. Levin

Michigan Law Review

We have already become familiar with Johnson's awareness of the unconsciousness of mankind "of the shackles which superstition and tyranny had thrown around" it. He was also sensitive to the part which the law had played in preserving such a state of affairs. His keen and analytic mind was unwilling to accept as final what he knew was the illusive mirage of reality. The situation was a frustrating one-so much so that few minds today are prepared to accept the challenge which such a dynamic attitude entailed for him. He began anticipating beyond the capacities of the minds of those …

Habeas Corpus-Federal Courts-May Application For Habeas Corpus Addressed To One Federal Judge Be Heard By Another Judge Of The Same Court?, G. R. Thornton Oct 1945

Habeas Corpus-Federal Courts-May Application For Habeas Corpus Addressed To One Federal Judge Be Heard By Another Judge Of The Same Court?, G. R. Thornton

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner applied to a specific district court judge for a writ of habeas corpus. Following the practice of the court of which he was a member, this judge filed the petition with the clerk of the court, and it was assigned to a second judge, who denied the petition. From this decision petitioner appealed. Two questions were raised (1) whether a writ of habas corpus should be granted; and (2) whether it is mandatory that a petition of habeas corpus addressed to a specific judge of the district court be heard and determined by that judge to the exclusion of …


Mr. Justice William Johnson And The Common Incidents Of Life: I, A. J. Levin Aug 1945

Mr. Justice William Johnson And The Common Incidents Of Life: I, A. J. Levin

Michigan Law Review

When Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes filed his brief dissenting opinion in Lochner v. New York in 1905 he must have noticed something new on the American horizon. In this now famous opinion he initiated the first steps which were to usher in a new era in American jurisprudence. "General propositions do not decide concrete cases," he announced with axiomatic brevity and, thus, gave the first telling blow to what may well be termed "introspective jurisprudence." This generalization on the subject of generality was followed in the opinion by a more concrete application, the implementing assertion that a reasonable man might …


Criminal Law And Procedure-Whether Reversible Error For Judge To Give Instructions Relating To Credibility Of Defendant Witness, Edwin Boos Feb 1945

Criminal Law And Procedure-Whether Reversible Error For Judge To Give Instructions Relating To Credibility Of Defendant Witness, Edwin Boos

Michigan Law Review

Appellant who was convicted of committing a criminal abortion, moved for a new trial alleging as error an instruction given by the judge to the jury. The instruction singled out the defendant from the other witnesses, pointing to his high degree of interest in a verdict of not guilty, as reason for scrutinizing his testimony. The judge also warned the jury that it need not accept blindly the testimony of the accused. Held, reversed, new trial ordered. Swanson v. State, (Ind. 1944) 52 N.E. (2d) 616.


Mr. Justice William Johnson, Creative Dissenter, A. J. Levin Dec 1944

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Creative Dissenter, A. J. Levin

Michigan Law Review

Until the advent of Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the masterful and magnetic figure of Chief Justice John Marshall well-nigh overshadowed the whole field of constitutional jurisprudence. That Marshall made inestimable additions to our ideas of cooperative living at the very beginning of our democracy, and that his repute was well deserved, cannot be gainsaid. But one has good cause to wonder why the name of so distinguished a colleague as William Johnson, who sat on the same bench with Marshal for almost thirty years during that formative period, should have been almost completely obscured all these years. Rare, indeed, is …


Valedictory Opinions Of Mr. Justice Holmes, Edward Dumbauld Jun 1944

Valedictory Opinions Of Mr. Justice Holmes, Edward Dumbauld

Michigan Law Review

Mr. Justice Holmes was ninety on March 8, 1931. That anniversary brought him a "shower of birthday congratulations and tributes in writing and print," which included thoughtful appraisals of his work up to then as scholar and judge. But that work was not yet done. There remained "a little finishing canter before coming to a standstill." The aging justice was to participate in the work of two more terms of court before his retirement on January 12, 1932. In Holmes's quiver, waiting to be "fired off," were a dozen opinions which now grace the pages of volume 283 of the …
