Federal Courts--Third-Party "Practice--Some Jurisdictional Problems Arising Under The Amended Federal Rules Of Civil Procedure, Effective March 19, 1948, Chester Lloyd Jones S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Third-party practice as originally adopted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure was one of the bolder steps in the direction of integrated and complete litigation of all phases of a transaction. One of the principal problems that was forseen by the commentators and that has in fact developed in the cases is the jurisdictional limitation of the federal courts where no federal question is involved, and jurisdiction depends on diversity of citizenship or alienage. Rule 82 is explicit in stating that the Rules should be interpreted so as not to extend or limit the jurisdiction of the district courts. …

In this event, with the approval of the United States Attornies for both districts, the clerk of the court to which the indictment was returned is authorized to forward the papers to the clerk of the court for the district in which the …

Practice And Procedure-Proceedings For Restoration Of Sanity -Who May Appeal From An Adjudication Of Sanity, Chester Lloyd Jones S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In a proceeding commenced by a guardian ad litem in a probate court to determine whether an incompetent might be adjudged sane, the committee was made respondent and resisted the adjudication of sanity. From a judgment of competency, the committee appealed to the proper court of general jurisdiction. The applicable statutes specifically gave only the petitioner the right to appeal in proceedings for restoration of sanity, but another statute gave the right to appeal from probate to circuit courts to "any person interested in any . . . decree of any probate court, and considering himself injured thereby." Petitioner moved …

Volume 1., Vladimir Gsovski
Michigan Legal Studies Series
For centuries, jurisprudence has been built up and developed in terms of a more or less comparable body of concepts: family, private ownership, individual rights, and the State, the necessity of which was challenged in the original program in the name of which the soviet government assumed the reins of power. What then is the fate under the soviet regime of the legal concepts thus far operative in all civilized societies? This book seeks to offer material for the answer to questions of this nature. The principal aim of the author has been to inquire into the legal protection and …
