The department advances the following proposition of law: “The General Assembly has constitutional authority to adjust local school funding retrospectively.” We agree. {¶ 2} For the reasons that follow, we conclude that the Retroactivity Clause, Article II, Section 28 of the Ohio Constitution, does not protect political subdivisions like appellees Toledo City School District Board of Education, Dayton City School District Board of Education, and Cleveland Metropolitan School District Board of Education (“the boards”) that are created by the state to carry out SUPREME COURT OF OHIO the state’s governmental functions.

    Biographical Sketches WHITE MOUNTAIN BANK OF LANCASTER Officers, Directors, et al. Certain dates may be approximate BEDEL, Hazen • [White Mountain Bank of Lancaster • 1849: Incorporator for original charter] • Hazen Bedel was born in Haverhill on July 31, 1818, son of John Bedel and his second wife.1 When he was a year old he moved with his family north to the Indian Stream Territory, but the privations were so great that his mother and her thee children soon relocated to Haverhill, where Hazen, age five, lived with the Jacob Williams family, with whom he remained until age 10, in the meantime attending school. His father then returned, and the family moved to Bath, where Hazen was schooled for two more years. • Afterward he went to Montpelier, Vermont, and worked for two years at shoe making with his brother Moody. He then came back to Bath and made shoes there for two more years. An uncle in Lancaster then hired him as a clerk in the Sampson & Perkins store, where he remained for three years, at which time the concern failed. Hazen Bedell was placed in charge of winding down the business, which he did with great success. • In 1838, at age 20, he went to Colebrook and secured a position as a clerk for Frederick G. Messer (best known as a hat maker in Lancaster), In four years he gained a third interest as a partner in the business. In October 1844 he entered the merchandising trade on his own account in a building he had erected on Factory Road (later Pleasant St.), where he stayed until 1861, when he relocated in a large building he constructed on Main Street, with the Masonic Hall upstairs.

  • MIDNIGHT JUDGES KATHRYN Turnu I
    [Vol.109 THE MIDNIGHT JUDGES KATHRYN TuRNu I "The Federalists have retired into the judiciary as a strong- hold . and from that battery all the works of republicanism are to be beaten down and erased." ' This bitter lament of Thomas Jefferson after he had succeeded to the Presidency referred to the final legacy bequeathed him by the Federalist party. Passed during the closing weeks of the Adams administration, the Judiciary Act of 1801 2 pro- vided the Chief Executive with an opportunity to fill new judicial offices carrying tenure for life before his authority ended on March 4, 1801. Because of the last-minute rush in accomplishing this purpose, those men then appointed have since been known by the familiar generic designation, "the midnight judges." This flight of Federalists into the sanctuary of an expanded federal judiciary was, of course, viewed by the Republicans as the last of many partisan outrages, and was to furnish the focus for Republican retaliation once the Jeffersonian Congress convened in the fall of 1801. That the Judiciary Act of 1801 was repealed and the new judges deprived of their new offices in the first of the party battles of the Jeffersonian period is well known. However, the circumstances surrounding the appointment of "the midnight judges" have never been recounted, and even the names of those appointed have vanished from studies of the period. It is the purpose of this Article to provide some further information about the final event of the Federalist decade. A cardinal feature of the Judiciary Act of 1801 was a reform long advocated-the reorganization of the circuit courts.' Under the Judiciary Act of 1789, the judicial districts of the United States had been grouped into three circuits-Eastern, Middle, and Southern-in which circuit court was held by two justices of the Supreme Court (after 1793, by one justice) ' and the district judge of the district in which the court was sitting.5 The Act of 1801 grouped the districts t Assistant Professor of History, Wellesley College.

THE DILEMMA OF THE AMERICAN LAWYER IN THE POST-REVOLUTIONARY ERA Anton-Hermann Chroust* On the eve of the Revolution the legal profession in the American colonies,' in the main, had achieved both distinction and recognition. It had come to enjoy the respect as well as the confidence of the people at large. This is borne out, for instance, by the fact that twenty-five of the fifty-six signers of the Declaration of Independence, and thirty-one of the fifty-five members of the Constitutional Convention were lawyers. Of the thirty-one lawyers who attended the Constitutional Convention, no less than five had studied law in England.2 The American Revolution itself, directly and indirectly, affected the legal profession in a variety of ways. First, the profession itself lost a considerable number of its most prominent members; secondly, a bitter antipathy against the lawyer as a class soon made itself felt throughout the country; thirdly, a strong dislike of everything English, including the English common law became wide- spread; and fourthly, the lack of a distinct body of American law as well as the absence of American law reports and law books for a while made the administra- tion of justice extremely difficult and haphazard.
