Mr. Justice Murphy And Civil Rights, Thurgood Marshall
Mr. Justice Murphy And Civil Rights, Thurgood Marshall
Michigan Law Review
There is constant danger that the unpopularity of an individual, or of the group of which he is a member, will be reflected in dealings with his rights by his neighbors or by the organized community. In America today this bias is most likely to stern from differences of race, origin, nationality, or religious or political belief. Prejudice may victimize an entire group or any of its members. Any charge of shocking or anti-social conduct against one who is already thus unpopular increases the likelihood of unfair treatment. Not only private citizens, but legislators, judges and administrative officers of government …

Mr. Justice Murphy, Hugo L. Black
Michigan Law Review
Frank Murphy's extensive public service is discussed by others in this issue. I write of him as an associate, and as a friend. Our friendship began when we first met in 1936, and grew stronger with the years. No one associated with him could fail to be attracted by his human warmth and his passion for justice.

Mr. Justice Murphy -A Note Of Appreciation, John H. Pickering, Eugene Gressman, T. L. Tolan Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Justice Murphy would have observed his tenth anniversary on the Supreme Court on February 5, 1950. Just as some of us who were privileged to serve as his law clerks were beginning to think of plans to honor him on that occasion, the news of his death came to stun us. So instead we pay homage to his memory by relating some of the manifold aspects of the character of this most noble man.
The Influence Of Mr. Justice Murphy On Labor Law, Archibald Cox
The Influence Of Mr. Justice Murphy On Labor Law, Archibald Cox
Michigan Law Review
When Mr. Justice Murphy took his place on the Supreme Court in 1940, a period of major development in labor law was beginning. In 1935 Congress had laid one of the two principal foundation stones by enacting the Wagner Act. But the NLRA did not become effective in any practical sense until after its constitutionality was upheld in 1937, and it was in the next decade that the farthest reaching questions of interpretation and application were to be decided. The second stone was laid in 1938 when passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act committed the nation to the policy …

Henry Moore Bates: 1869-1949, Paul A. Leidy, Grover C. Grismore, Ralph W. Aigler
Michigan Law Review
Henry Moore Bates, Professor Emeritus of Law and Dean Emeritus of the Law School, was born in Chicago, Illinois, on March 30, 1869. He was the son of George Chapman Bates and Alice E. Bates. He received his early education from private tutors and the public schools of Chicago; in the fall of 1886 he enrolled in the College of Literature, Science and the Arts of this University; he received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy in June of 1890.
Henry Moore Bates, Herbert W. Clark
Henry Moore Bates, Herbert W. Clark
Michigan Law Review
There are people to whom any sense of fitness would assign a long life. Henry Moore Bates is one of these. In full vigor of mind until the end and before any physical deterioration had occurred to render his days uncomfortable to himself or his family, he died April 15th, on the sixteenth day following his 80th birthday. At eight o'clock in the evening before he died he was in bouyant spirits, his humor was keen and kindly, as always; his laughter was young. Eight hours later the end came. He was unafraid. "When it (was) time for him to …
Henry Moore Bates, Roscoe Pound
Henry Moore Bates, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
It has been my uniform practice never to read from a manuscript or use notes when I am speaking to an audience, but in speaking of so old and dear a friend I feel a certain inhibition of emotion that stands in the way of an adequate oral speech. Moreover, when I think of Dean Bates' unswerving adherence to exact, accurate statement, his abhorrence of all exaggeration, of all overstatement, I feel that he would not be satisfied with one who followed the relatively loose method of oral statement instead of adhering to a carefully and meticulously prepared manuscript for …

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

This Issue Is Dedicated To The Late Professor Joseph Horace Drake, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
To his colleagues on the law faculty, by whom Professor Drake was greatly beloved, he was known for his courteous and gentlemanly manners, his quiet but effective sense of humor, and his scholarly approach to all of the questions of the day. He never failed to see the bright and sunny side of the problems of the moment.

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Jurist In Limine: The Judge As Historian And Maker Of History, A. J. Levin
Michigan Law Review
In the year 1822 A. E. Miller of No. 4 Broad-street, near the Bay, Charleston, South Carolina, "Printed for the Author" the Sketches of the Life and Correspondence of Nathanael Greene, Major General of The Armies of The United States, In The War of The Revolution. The fly-leaf announced that the work was "Compiled Chiefly from Original Materials" and that it was in "Two Volumes" by William Johnson of Charleston, South Carolina. It was, indeed, a substantial publication "grown to a bulk . . . never anticipated" of some nine hundred thirty-eight pages exclusive of numerous pages in small …
Mr. Justice William Johnson, Creative Dissenter, A. J. Levin
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
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 …
Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Law Books Of The Year (1943-44), Hobart R. Coffey
Michigan Law Review
Contrary to my inclination and somewhat against my better judgment I have been prevailed upon by the editor to repeat the experiment begun last year, viz., to produce a sort of running account of some of the more important legal publications which have appeared in the last twelve months. It goes almost without saying that a competent review of a single serious work requires both considerable time and space. An adequate critical review of fifty or sixty works would be quite out of the question for anyone who had anything else to do. In my comments on the books which …
Mr. Justice William Johnson And The Unenviable Dilemma, A. J. Levin
Mr. Justice William Johnson And The Unenviable Dilemma, A. J. Levin
Michigan Law Review
A policy of judicial avoidance, otherwise referred to as "judicial restraint," has clearly been the dominant trend in the United States Supreme Court since Mr. Justice Holmes began to sit upon that bench at the beginning of this century. There has been an inclination to explain this change as revealing a tendency of the Court to follow a policy of laissez-faire toward the legislative and executive departments, and to stop at this formalistic explanation of this important aspect of the judicial function. The Court's increasing awareness of its own lack of technical competence in dealing with the many complex governmental …

This Issue Is Dedicated To The Late Professor Edwin C. Goddard, Grover C. Grismore, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
Edwin C. Goddard, a professor emeritus of the University of Michigan Law School, died in Ann Arbor, after a brief illness, on Friday, August 14, 1942. Those of us who were associated with him during his many years of service to the Law School feel that we have lost a wise adviser, a capable and faithful associate, and a loyal friend.
Dean Bates And The Michigan Law School, Edwin C. Goddard
Dean Bates And The Michigan Law School, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
From its opening in October, 1859, the Law School of the University of Michigan has been fortunate in the continuity of the service of the members of its faculty. The original faculty consisted of that remarkable trio, James V. Campbell, Charles I. Walker and Thomas M. Cooley. Instruction was given by lecture, and almost continuously for twenty-five years those three continued to expound the principles of the law to the students who flocked to the school.

A Generation Of Law Teaching, Roscoe Pound
A Generation Of Law Teaching, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
Thirty-six years ago (September, 1903) as Dean Bates was taking up law teaching as Tappan Professor of Law at Michigan, I was delivering an inaugural lecture as Dean of the Law School of the University of Nebraska. In this generation of law teaching we have seen the academic law school rise to a commanding position in professional education, the law teacher gain a position among the leaders of the profession, the growth of co-operation between bar associations and the association of law teachers, the development of co-operation between bar examiners and the law schools, and general adoption by the profession …
Mr. Justice Cardozo And Problems Of Government, Dean G. Acheson
Mr. Justice Cardozo And Problems Of Government, Dean G. Acheson
Michigan Law Review
The sorrow with which the entire nation learned of the death of Mr. Justice Cardozo bears witness to the sense of loss felt by the great body of his fellow citizens. Few of the people who mourn him had personal opportunity to know the high qualities of his mind or his saintly character. Yet they truly feel that between him and the thought and spirit of his time there was fundamental sympathy and understanding. In a real sense the cast of his thinking was the product of his age. This awareness of his time was coupled in him with sensitiveness …

Coke-Parliamentary Sovereignty Or The Supremacy Of The Law?, R. A. Mackay
Coke-Parliamentary Sovereignty Or The Supremacy Of The Law?, R. A. Mackay
Michigan Law Review
Few legal authorities have received such conflicting interpretations as Sir Edward Coke. American jurists have turned to him as the legal father of judicial review, English jurists have found in him the authority for Parliamentary Supremacy, The cause of these conflicting interpretations is partly Coke's obscure style. Coke was an encyclopedist rather than a philosopher of the law: his ideas must be dug out and fused together from an heterogeneous mass of apparently unrelated statements. Even his Reports are legal and literary puzzles, a mixture of advocates' pleas, judicial decisions, and probably Sir Edward Coke's personal opinions as well. Hence …

Book Reviews, William W. Cook, Edwin D. Dickinson, Joseph H. Drake, Wayne C. Williams
Michigan Law Review
This is a book that every lawyer should read and every law student should be required to read. It is the culminating work of a masterly mind that for over fifty years has been studying governments, ancient and modern,' and meantime the writer has had the practical advantage of holding high and responsible offices, including that of British Ambassador to the United States. Viscount Bryce speaks plainly of American national, state and municipal shortcomings in government, especially the last, but it is done in a kindly vein. He is a friend of America and gives us credit for much.
The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
On January 12th last, Ashley Pond died at his home in Detroit in his eighty-third year. By his death the University has lost one of its oldest and most distinguished alumni. Mr. Pond was graduated from the Literary Department in 1854. After studying law for a little over two years, he was admitted to the Detroit Bar. At that Bar he continued to practice for about half a century, and when he died was its senior member. Mr. Pond's career is an example to every lawyer and an encouragement to every young man of humble origin and narrow means. When …

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN GRAVES, the oldest and last surviving of the four noted judges-Cooley, Campbell, Christiancy and Graves-who composed the Supreme Court of Michigan in 1868 and succeeding years, died in Detroit, Michigan, on the third day of March, 1906, at the age of eighty-eight years and five months.

Thomas Mcintyre Cooley, Jerome C. Knowlton
Michigan Law Review
In the early fifties, there were four young men practicing at the bar of the State of Michigan who became so influential during the formative period in the jurisprudence of the state that we cannot name one of them without thinking of the others. James V. Campbell, Isaac P. Christiancy, Thomas M. Cooley arid Benjamin F. Graves came from New York parentage and from New England stock. The three last name received their education in the primary schools and academies of New York. As young men seeking their future they came west and settled in different parts of this state. …
