Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker
Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker
Michigan Law Review
Insolvency, no less than natural death, is a tragedy which comes into the midst of business transactions, fixing the claims of parties, and calling for the application of legal principles to determine the nature and extent of their rights. Perhaps no business relationship is more frequent than that of banker and customer or depositor.

Some Unscheduled Liabilities Of Trust Companies, Henry M. Bates
Some Unscheduled Liabilities Of Trust Companies, Henry M. Bates
Articles
"The modern trust company, with its varied and highly developed functions, is a characteristic product of our present complex civilization... The trust company, as some one has said, has become the corporation's corporation, a sort of super-corporation.... The question then naturally arises, is there any law peculiar to trust companies?"
