Our "Declaratory" Fourteenth Amendment |
7 Stanford Law Review 3 (December, 1954) |
A declaratory constitutional amendment is today almost as baffling and incongruous a concept as an unconstitutional constitution. By definition the Constitution is the ultimate--the fundamental and supreme--law. To amend it is to revise it and change it, not to discover or declare an antecedent meaning, much less to define or redefine some... |

Primary Jurisdiction Reconsidered. The Anti-trust Laws |
102 University of Pennsylvania Law Review 577 (March, 1954) |
The doctrine of primary jurisdiction is a valuable corollary to the administration of the statutory purposes committed to nonjudicial agencies. It is, however, becoming a shibboleth.
