Requiring Preservation And Maintenance Of Historical District Is Within Zoning Power, Stephen Roger Kane

Mercer Law Review

In Maher v. New Orleans, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit considered the constitutionality of a municipal zoning ordinance regulating the preservation and maintenance of a historical district. A three-judge panel held that the New Orleans City Council's Vieux Carre Ordinance was constitutional, since it provided enough objective criteria to determine which buildings in the Vieux Carre had historical and architectural value, and that the ordinance did not unconstitutionally take property, either on its face or as applied to Maher.

Regulating Location Of 'Adult Theaters' On Basis Of Film Content Is Constitutional, Alan Parker Layne

Mercer Law Review

In Young v. American Mini Theaters, the U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5- 4 decision, upheld a Detroit zoning ordinance that regulated the location of theaters exhibiting adult films. The Court rejected due-process and equal-protection arguments and concluded that First-Amendment principles were not offended even though the classification was based upon the content of the films.

On November 2, 1972, Detroit amended an "Anti Skid Row" ordinance enacted approximately ten years earlier.2 The 1972 amendment prohibited the location of "adult theaters" within 1,000 feet of any two other regulated uses.' Theaters exhibiting material that was "distinguished or characterized by …

Evidence Problems In Criminal Cases, John W. Reed

Book Chapters

The Federal Rules of Evidence, enacted by Congress, became effective on July 1, 1975. Ten states have adopted state versions of the Federal Rules to govern trials in their courts, and about half the remaining states are considering whether to follow suit. Michigan is one of these latter states. Early in 1977 a committee appointed by the Supreme Court of Michigan proposed rules of evidence for Michigan closely patterned on the Federal Rules, and, if all goes well, the Court will promulgate rules for the Michigan courts to become effective in 1977 or soon thereafter. Michigan lawyers should be aware …

Legislative Notes: Metallic Mining And Reclamation In Michigan: Environmental Management As A Gentler Approach, John C. Dernbach

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

A great deal has been said and written about the need for meaningful reclamation requirements for the surface mining of coal.

Thirty-eight states have laws dealing directly with reclamation from a wide variety of mining operations . For purposes of this note, reclamation refers to those measures taken concurrently with or after the mining operation to reduce or repair the adverse effects of the operation on disrupted land . Environmental management is a much broader term which encompasses the full range of …
