Reflections Upon Hegel's Concept Of Property, Contract, Punishment, And Constitutional Law, Morris D. Forkosch
Reflections Upon Hegel's Concept Of Property, Contract, Punishment, And Constitutional Law, Morris D. Forkosch
Vanderbilt Law Review
Codification and re-codification in federal and state jurisdictions has proceeded in a geometrical progression these past decades. To what extent is the old law yielding or, au contraire, to what extent is the ancient law reappearing? For example, are Plato's views on crime and punishment being revived, continued, or changed?' Or,to what extent are Hegel's views in a certain few legal areas of present interest and value? As we shall see, an understanding of Hegel's juris-prudential views, as related to specific topics, is a present-day pragmatic necessity. We propose to seek these views, albeit briefly, in the fields of property, …
A Tale Of Two Cases, William H. Agnor
A Tale Of Two Cases, William H. Agnor
Vanderbilt Law Review
Professor Agnor here traces the development of what he suggests is a bad rule of law which originated in a poor decision of a jurisdiction highly respected for its decisions on the law of future interests. The author's demonstration of how the case has been blindly followed by both bench and bar underscores his message that members of the legal profession must not rely on encyclopedic statements of the law without an examination into the policies and problems involved.
Removal Of Future Interest Encumbrances--Sale Of The Fee Simple Estate, Candler S. Rogers
Removal Of Future Interest Encumbrances--Sale Of The Fee Simple Estate, Candler S. Rogers
Vanderbilt Law Review
The removal of future interest encumbrances on realty may in proper cases relieve hardship of private parties and be of benefit to the community by rendering the land marketable and productive. The author here examines the scope of equity jurisdiction in these cases and the applicable statutes. The author concludes with proposals to improve the statutory treatment of the problem and suggests that equity already has the power to provide the relief contained in his statutory proposals.

Restitution - 1963 Tennessee Survey, Brad Reed
Vanderbilt Law Review
Constructive trusts are related to the field of trusts in somewhat the same way that quasi-contracts are today related to the field of contracts-in misnomer only. A judicial declaration of a constructive trust means simply that the holder of legal title to the property affected, must convey it to the person for whose benefit the constructive trust is declared.' The primary efficacy of this equitable remedy is that it gives the successful complainant a preference over all the defendant's creditors; its theory is not that the complainant is trying to reach the defendant's property, but rather that the property which …

Executors And Administrators-Sale Of Realty In The Estate-Better Price As Reason For Permitting Sale Under "Best Interests Of The Estate" Provision, William J. Bogaard
Michigan Law Review
Pursuant to a Missouri statute permitting sale of real property for any purpose in the best interests of the estate, administrator filed a petition for power to sell realty in the estate of the decedent for the reason, inter alia, that a better price could be obtained at a private sale than at a judicial sale resulting from a suit for partition. The plaintiff heir's subsequent bill for partition of the real estate was dismissed by the trial court, which found that the administrator's petition for power to sell had conferred jurisdiction of the property on the probate court. …
