The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg Apr 1957

The Defense Of Laches And A Correlative, John W. Plattenburg

West Virginia Law Review

The term laches, when used in a legal sense, generally brings to mind the image of the complainant who has slept on his rights for an unreasonable length of time, and who is now precluded from asserting those rights. Laches connotes the passage of time and a laxness on the part of a party to assert his rights during the time elapsed. The defense of laches, as applied in equity, is a much more restricted doctrine than is apparent in this connotation of the word. The purpose of this note is to show what generally constitutes a defense of laches, …

Statutory Limitation Of Innkeepers' Liability, George M. Martin Jul 1939

Statutory Limitation Of Innkeepers' Liability, George M. Martin

Washington Law Review

Many of the earliest cases of which reports are extant deal with the liability of the innkeeper to his guest, and the earliest known Roman law gave an action against the innkeeper if the baggage of the guest was in any way damaged, lost or stolen. At common law the innkeeper was the insurer of the baggage of his guest. He was under an absolute liability unless he could prove that the loss was caused by an Act of God, the public enemy, by the act of the guest or of the guest's servants. This absolute liability was extended to …

The Limits Of Congressional Investigating Power, Jack Gose Apr 1935

The Limits Of Congressional Investigating Power, Jack Gose

Washington Law Review

Of recent years much publicity has been given to the activities of congressional investigating committees At the present time such a committee is engaged in examining witnesses and taking evidence concerning the operations of munitions manufacturers. About a year ago a similar investigation of much publc interest was held coneerning the matter of air mail contracts. In the decade immediately preceding, the scandals arising out of the Harding administration formed the subject of similiar inquiries. Many like rncidents within present-day memory might be cited, but the mention of any single recent investigation should not create the impression that congressional activity …

Michigan Law Review

The lawyer who, for the last two decades has kept abreast of the literature of the law, is appreciative of the fact that no branch of the old law has received such scientific and scholarly treatment, as has the law of evidence, and few of the more modern fields have been as thoroughly and intelligently cultivated. Led by Professor Thayer in that incomparable series of essays gathered under one title in his "Preliminary Treatise on Evidence at the Common Law," followed by Professor Wigmore with his edition of Greenleaf's first volume, and later by his great work "Evidence in Trials …

Book Reviews, Willard T. Barbour, Joseph H. Drake

Michigan Law Review

Judge Story's work appeared at a critical period in Aterican legal history. The bitterness toward England which lingered after the Revolution, intensified by the unhappy war of 182, was no doubt responsible for the hostility toward and suspicion of that peculiarly English institution, the common law.' Evidence is not wanting that our courts were drifting away from the common law doctrines and becoming more -responsive to the appeals of civil law. There was thus furnished a condition favorable to the reception of Roman law through some French form such as the Code Napolion. English equity, in particular, stood in a …

Michigan Law Review

Dr. Freund's book was read by the reviewer in the summer of 1917, but a combination of circumstances, greatly regretted by him, has prevented the completion and publishing of the review then pa'rtially prepared. The justification for printing it now lies in the excellence of Dr. Freund's work and. in the vital importance of careful study by American lawyers of the too long neglected field of legislation as, with the War, apparently ended, the Nation enters upon a period of political and social reconstruction, which seems destined to be epochal. With the organized forces of the titanic struggle halted, and …

Michigan Law Review

The Law School - In common with all other law schools requiring college work for admission, this school has suffered a very heavy loss in attendance because of war conditions. This, however, is a matter for pride and not for discouragement for it means that our students have gone into the army or navy or other branches of the national service in very high ratio to their total number. And this is by no means due only to the effect of the Selective Service Act for from the very beginning our men have volunteered in great spirit and promptness. In …

Michigan Law Review

If there is a living American qualified to prepare material for the student of future interests probably law teachers would agree that Professor Kales is the man. He has written a book on Future Estates in Illinois which has made a distinct impression on the law of that state and is recognized elsewhere as a sound and scholarly treatise. He has taught the course on future interests and illegal restraints at Northwestern University Law School for many years, and last year gave the same course at Harvard.

Michigan Law Review

It was peculiarly fortunate for the cause of the American Revolution that the sympathies of the French people and the policies of the French foreign office which knew no diplomatic methods save those of secret diplomacy, were for once heartily in accord in support of the American revolutionists. Professor Corwin in this book deals entirely with the complicated and obscure political plots and counter-plots which eventually led France to espouse openly the cause of the revolting colonies. The whole question of the timely aid France gave to America has, of course, a very particular value at the present time when …

Professor Husband's book deals with two problems, the date of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, and the legal aspects of the proceedings against him. In both divisions of the subject his conclusions are novel and are supported by able argumentation.

No subject, surely, is more worthy of presentation to American readers than this, and none is more full of important suggestions for the improvement of our …


Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer Nov 1915

Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer

Michigan Law Review

This subject has already received the attention of jurists. In 1872 von Jhering in his famous lecture "The Struggle for Law"' criticised severely the established admiration of the speech of Portia. von Jhering attacked this speech with great vigour and indeed spoke of it as a miserable subterfuge - the rabulous trick of a pettifogger. He finds that through this speech a truly tragic lot befell Shylock; a fate brought about by the usurer's lawful struggle for his rights, and through which the law of Venice was transfigured.
