Comment: Race, Property Rights, And The Economic Consequences Of Reconstruction, Robert B. Jones Jan 1979

Comment: Race, Property Rights, And The Economic Consequences Of Reconstruction, Robert B. Jones

Vanderbilt Law Review

Professors Haws and Namorato are to be praised for their pioneer work in studying the operation of a county court system in the Reconstruction era. They break new historical ground in this effort that has the potential for greatly contributing to the study of the legal history of the South. More scholars must engage in this endeavor if the field of legal history is to reach its full maturity. While their efforts are to be complimented it must be pointed out, however, that they generally fail to make their case in this Article. They do not show a significant link …


Judicial Protection Of Minorities, Terrance Sandalow May 1977

Judicial Protection Of Minorities, Terrance Sandalow

Articles

In United States v. Carolene Products Co., Justice Stone suggested by indirection that there "may be narrower scope for operation of the presumption of constitutionality" when courts are called upon to determine the validity "of statutes directed at particular religious . . . or national . . . or racial minorities."' In such cases, he explained, "prejudice against discrete and insular minorities may be a special condition, which tends seriously to curtail the operation of those political processes ordinarily to be relied upon to protect minorities, and which may call for a correspondingly more searching judicial inquiry."' Forty years later, …


Bakke: A Compelling Need To Discriminate, Theodore J. St. Antoine Jan 1977

Bakke: A Compelling Need To Discriminate, Theodore J. St. Antoine

Articles

Two of America's most cherished values collided head-on a few months ago, when the U.S. Supreme Court began to come to grips with the most significant civil rights suit since the school desegregation cases of 1954. Arrayed on one side is the principle of governmental "color-blindness," the appealing notion that the color of a person's skin should have nothing to do with the distribution of benefits or burdens by the state. Set against it is the goal of a truly integrated society, and the tragic realization that this objective cannot be achieved within the foreseeable future unless race and color …

A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards Aug 1971

A New Role For The Black Law Graduate--A Reality Or An Illusion, Harry T. Edwards

Michigan Law Review

It is not really surprising that so much attention has recently been given to the gross disparity in White v. Black participation in the legal profession. Indeed, the question of quality participation by Black lawyers is an irrelevant consideration until there is a real commitment to give Blacks equal access to the formerly all-white legal educational institutions. In examining the nature of this heretofore obvious (but only recently acknowledged) problem of Black underrepresentation within our society? (3) What must be done by the legal profession not only to alleviate the negative impact of such a shortage, but also to enhance …

Law And Anarchy, Sidney Hook Jan 1970

Law And Anarchy, Sidney Hook

University of Richmond Law Review

I wish to consider certain views and attitudes about law and government that seem widely held today, that encourage contempt for law and at least indirectly bear on current political behavior.


''Here Comes Da Judge", Ernest Van Den Haag Jan 1970

''Here Comes Da Judge", Ernest Van Den Haag

Georgia Law Review

Had it not been written by an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, this book would not be reviewed: obviously calculated to pander to prurient political interest, it seems utterly without redeeming social value, although it does not violate current community standards, such as they are. However, the author's status makes the book news, just as a bishop's coming out for burlesque would be news: being a bishop is not, nor is favoring burlesque, but being a bishop favoring burlesque is. Points of Rebellion might be described as an apt, if unintended, caricature of the sentiments and ideas found in …


Racial Imbalance, Black Separatism, And Permissible Classification By Race, Norman Vieira Jun 1969

Racial Imbalance, Black Separatism, And Permissible Classification By Race, Norman Vieira

Michigan Law Review

The Article will begin with a discussion of the School Segregation Cases which have been invoked both to sustain and to invalidate corrective racial classification. It will then review federal discrimination against Japanese-Americans and against Indians, as well as the more obscure discrimination found in immigration and naturalization laws. It will also consider, in some detail, the paradoxical rules governing the discriminatory selection of jurors and, in lesser detail, the cases dealing with domestic relations and racial designations. A concluding section will discuss black separatism and general policy matters relating to the correction of imbalance in the schools. The Article …

Constitutional Law - Equal Protection - Racial Discrimination And The Role Of The State, William C. Griffith S.Ed. May 1961

Constitutional Law - Equal Protection - Racial Discrimination And The Role Of The State, William C. Griffith S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Constitutional history from the 1857 Dred Scott decision to the 1954 Brown decision records "a movement from status to contract" for the American Negro. Although uncertainty clouds the definition of "state action," the civil rights of the Negro under the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment have been clearly established. The Negro citizen has arrived; the Negro minority group remains one of the gravest social problems of twentieth century America. De facto school segregation, limited economic opportunity, and inadequate housing are problems not solved by invocation of the fourteenth amendment or incantation of the Declaration of Independence. Solution, …

Segregation In Public Education: The Decline Of Plessy V. Ferguson, Paul G. Kauper Jun 1954

Segregation In Public Education: The Decline Of Plessy V. Ferguson, Paul G. Kauper

Michigan Law Review

In the landmark case of Plessy v. Ferguson decided in 1896, the Supreme Court of the United States gave its sanction to the "separate but equal" doctrine in the interpretation of the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. More particularly, the Court held that a state statute requiring racial segregation in railway service did not result in a denial of the equal protection of the laws. This decision did not go unchallenged. Kentucky-born Justice John Harlan remonstrated in a dissenting opinion of extraordinary force. Crying out like a lone voice in the wilderness he predicted that the judgment declared …
