Local Government Law--1959 Tennessee Survey, A. E. Ryman, Jr.

Vanderbilt Law Review

Local government law is primarily made up of special exceptions to and provisions concerning laws of general application, both substantive and procedural. Starting with that premise, this survey is classified into two basic subsections: exceptions resulting from relations between sovereign agents, and exceptions resulting from relations between a sovereign agent and private parties. Because of a trend believed to be of significance with regard to other areas of law, the section on financial policy is considered separately as another subdivision herein.

Satisfactory review of all of the substantive legal subjects touched upon by decisions and legislation which involved local agents …

Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh

Michigan Law Review

Petitioner was injured on his employer's barge moored in navigable waters while assisting in a loading operation. The employer was insured solely under the Federal Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Act. Instead of pursuing the remedy available under the federal act, petitioner brought the common law action authorized by state workmen's compensation legislation in the state courts. The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed judgment for the employer on the ground that the injury was covered exclusively by the federal act. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed per curiam, two justices dissenting. The injury was incurred within the …

The Supreme Court And State Power To Deal With Subversion And Loyalty, Roger C. Cramton

Cornell Law Faculty Publications

In this Article, Professor Cramton discusses the effect of recent United States Supreme Court decisions on state control of Subversive activities. He finds that while the decisions to some extent restrict state activity in this area, and though the Court in its decisions gives the impression of vacillation and confusion, some definite and workable principles are emerging which contribute to a resolution of the inherent conflict of federal-state relations which these issues pose. He concludes that as the states grow more sophisticated in their treatment of these issues, so the policy of judicial self-restraint will become more influential in restricting …

Michigan Law Review

This comment will explore the existing variations in four commonly encountered areas: joint interests with rights of survivorship, contingent remainder interests, powers of appointment, and life insurance proceeds. Emphasis will also be placed on treatment accorded the surviving spouse and children and the implicit relationship between such treatment and some of the above areas. The essence of this examination will be to inquire whether adoption of an estate tax would be a more suitable vehicle for implementing a local death tax program.

Constitutional Uniformity And Equality In State Taxation, Wade J. Newhouse

Michigan Legal Studies Series

The method of approach and arrangement of materials are developed during the course of the monograph. Therefore, it is not necessary to repeat them here. The purpose of the study is twofold. First, it should provide background material for constitutional revision. Second, it should aid counsel and court in deciding cases arising under existing constitutional limitations and state legislatures in drafting tax measures in such a way that pitfalls in existing limitations are avoided. The greater part of this monograph was prepared during a two year period from June 1951 to 1953, while I was a Research Assistant with the …

Virginia's Drear Aridities: Its Rule Of Perpetuities, D. Orville Lahy

University of Richmond Law Review

Whereas most Virginia lawyers know about the rule against perpetuities, many of the same lawyers do not know what it is all about. Perpetuities is a dry and dismal subject to an active practitioner, and the state of abject bewilderment with which he was indoctrinated about the rule against perpetuities while in law school lingers on to haunt his memory. for the balance of his professional career. It is not until an actual client appears with a perpetuities problem that the same practitioner is forced to face the stark realities of the rule. It is only then that the complexities …

Foreward, William T. Muse

University of Richmond Law Review

The reception accorded the first number of the University of Richmond Law Notes, published last spring, has been most gratifying. It has encouraged the Faculty to prepare this second number, which also is being distributed to all alumni of the Law School through the courtesy of the University of Richmond Law School Association. There has been a modest volume of requests for copies of the first issue from non-alumni members of the bar and from many law libraries.
