The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
Michigan Law Review
In recent years much has been learned of the civilization, which developed in early times in Mesopotamia. In Babylon, laws appropriate to a vast and wealthy agricultural nation, which was engaged, also, largely in commerce, had been developed many centuries before the authentic history of other peoples begins. This civilization was Semitic. A great light, where formerly but dim reflections had been seen, was thrown upon this jurisprudence by the discovery, in 1901, of the codification of the laws of Babylonia, which was promulgated by King Hammurabi about 2350 B. C. Migration from Babylonia occurred from time to time, and …
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
The Recall And The Political Responsibility Of Judges, W. F. Dodd
Michigan Law Review
The movement for the recall of State officers is one which has became important only within the past three or four years. The first application of the recall as a modem institution in the United States appears to have been in Los Angeles in 19o3, where the institution was adopted in the amendment of the charter framed by that city. From Los Angeles the recall as applicable only to municipal officers spread to other California cities, and has now been rather widely adopted in other States. The first State constitutional amendment with respect to the recall, that of California in …

The Use And The Abuse Of The Commerce Clause, Fred'k H. Cooke
The Use And The Abuse Of The Commerce Clause, Fred'k H. Cooke
Michigan Law Review
The visible universe, from the giant constellation down to the infinitesimal corpuscle, is in a condition of eternal movement, or, we may say, a condition of eternal transportation. Indeed, there seems to be no phenomenon more universal than this transportation. But we are to here consider it merely as a phenomenon of life, in particular, of human life. In common with other higher animals, man possesses organs that characterize him as a being eminently fitted for transportation; his arms; his legs; even his vocal organs, fitted for transportation (or transmission) of the intangible, that is, of intelligence communicated from one …

Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham
Michigan Law Review
The only legitimate end and object of all government is the greatest good of the greatest number of the people. The means by which this end is attained vary in accordance with the experience and the temperament of the people. Government is necessarily more or less of an experiment at all times, but as men have been making similar experiments ever since the dawn of recorded history, the waste of repeating unsuccessful experiments of the past may be avoided by studying the records of the results of earlier effort; and, other things being equal, all thoughtful persons will agree, that …
The Doctrine Of Survivorship And The Definition Of A Vested Remainder, Henry W. Webber
The Doctrine Of Survivorship And The Definition Of A Vested Remainder, Henry W. Webber
Michigan Law Review
Here probably is not a more cited case in the law of survivorships than the leading case of Moore v. Lyons, which, in 1840, firmly laid down the rule of construction that words of survivorship prima facie refer to death in the lifetime of the testator, rather than to death in the lifetime of the life-tenant. In a devise, therefore, to one for life, and from and after his death to two others (naming them), or to the survivor of them, the remainderman takes a vested interest at the death of the testator even though one of them predeceased the …

The Law In Its Relation To Morals And Religion, Edwin C. Goddard
The Law In Its Relation To Morals And Religion, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
"Man is a religious being... Man has never lived to himself alone. His natural state has ever been a social one, in which development and enjoyment became possible only by mutual inter-dependence and social intimacy. Government is not an invention, not a necessary evil to which men submit. On the contrary... it has been man's natural instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence ... [a]nd universally this government has been more or less closely related to religious institutions."

The New York Employers' Liability Act, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The New York Employers' Liability Act, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
In the recent case of Ives v. South Buffalo Railway Company the New York Court of Appeals annulled upon constitutional grounds, the so-called Wainwright Workmen's Compensation Law which sought to impose upon employers in certain specified extra-hazardous occupations a limited liability in cases of injuries to their employees regardless of the fact as to whether the negligence of the latter might have contributed to the injury or whether the risk had been well understood and assumed. The act did not abolish or modify the common law liability of the employer in cases where contributory negligence or assumption of risk could …

The State's Power Over Foreign Corporations, Harold M. Bowman
Michigan Law Review
This paper is devoted to a consideration of certain phases of our constitutional law governing the authority of the states over foreign corporations as that authority developed between the end of the fourth decade of the last century and the end of the first decade of this, and as it has been altered by a remarkable group of decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States only about a year ago. The subject is one which concerns the frame of our institutions, for the final view which the Court shall take upon the questions involved in this matter …

Public Regulation Of Water Power In The United States And Europe, John A. Fairlie
Public Regulation Of Water Power In The United States And Europe, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
The law of water rights in the United States has been for the most part regulated by the several states, subject, however, to the power of Congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, (which includes the control of navigation and of navigable streams in the interest of commerce) and to the control of the United States over waters on public lands and rivers on the international boundaries. The laws of the several states show considerable variation; but in respect to the use of water power, they have until within a few years been based mainly on the protection of private …

The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
Michigan Law Review
Inasmuch as this paper is to deal with the judicial reforms of the reign of Henry II, and more particularly with the extension of the jurisdiction of the king's court during that period, we must at the outset, for the purpose of comparison, make a brief study of the courts, their jurisdiction, and their methods of procedure at the close of Saxon and the beginning of Norman times. Mention should first be made of the courts of the hundred and of the shire, for it was in these public local courts, particularly in the former, that in early times justice …
