Broadening Legal Education, Edgar Noble Durfee
Broadening Legal Education, Edgar Noble Durfee
Michigan Law Review
The adoption of the case-method was a wild venture into the unknown, and even now, after a half century of experience, its wisdom is not proved in any strict sense. I remind the reader of this in order that there may be between us a clear understanding that any discussion of legal education moves in the realm of opinion. And there are other difficulties. Legal education is an eminently practical business, a tangle of conflicting factors. Wisdom lies in compromise and patient shaping of details. I shall therefore concern myself not so much with formulation of principles as with details …

Bills And Notes - What Constitutes A Reasonable Time In Presenting A Check For Payment
Michigan Law Review
Defendant delivered to the plaintiff, at about 10 o'clock A. M., a check drawn on the B bank. The next morning at 10:30 o'clock the plaintiff's agent went to drawee to cash the check. As there was "a run" being made on the bank that day, the agent was forced to stand in line. After waiting from 10:30 o'clock in the morning to 1 o'clock in the afternoon, he left without cashing the check. The next day the bank failed to open its doors. In an action by the plaintiff to recover the debt covered by the check, the defendant …

Contracts - Anticipatory Breach - Effect Of Election
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff leased a lot to a development company and the latter agreed to demolish the present buildings and begin the erection of new ones by April 1, 1934. The defendant was surety on a bond executed to insure performance. The development company was adjudged bankrupt and, on February 11, 1931, the trustee expressly repudiated the contract. On February 24 the plaintiff notified the trustee and the bankrupt that he refused to accept the disaffirmance of the contract and would hold them to performance. The plaintiff later brought suit on the theory that the action constituted an acceptance of the …

Plaintiff, a woman about sixty years of age, described as "considerably overweight for her size and age," and her companion were swimming in a club pool. The companion went beyond her depth, called for help, and plaintiff went to her rescue.

Michigan Law Review
The South Carolina Tax Act of 1930 levied a "license" tax of six cents per gallon on all persons who imported gasoline into South Carolina and kept it in storage there for purposes of local consumption, provided such gasoline had not already been subjected to the payment of license taxes upon the sale thereof by local dealers according to the gasoline tax acts of 1925 and 1929. The plaintiff imported gasoline from dealers outside the State, storing the gasoline in its tanks and using it for the purposes of its bleachery business. Held, that the 1930 Tax Act was …

Trusts - Compromise Agreement As Means Of Terminating Testamentary Spendthrift Trust
Trusts - Compromise Agreement As Means Of Terminating Testamentary Spendthrift Trust
Michigan Law Review
In Rose v. Southern Michigan National Bank, the Michigan Supreme Court refused to terminate a spendthrift trust composed of both real and personal property, although to end litigation upon the will all the parties in interest had signed a compromise agreement to terminate the trust according to the Michigan statute. There was no objection as to the fairness of the agreement, upon which ground the court might have refused to sanction the compromise under the statute. The decision seems to have been based upon the theory that to give effect to the compromise agreement would defeat the purpose of …
Suretyship - Interpretation Of Surety Contract
Suretyship - Interpretation Of Surety Contract
Michigan Law Review
A bank sued to recover on a surety bond for loss sustained because of fraud practised by one of the vice-presidents on a customer. The bond provided that performance was subject to certain conditions and limitations, among which was one to the effect that the bank should notify the surety within ninety days of the default. The surety was not notified until the trial four years later. Held, notification is a condition precedent to liability, even though the surety was not prejudiced by lack of notice. National City Bank v. National Security Company, (C. C. A. 6th, 1932) …
Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Congressional Redistricting And The Constitution, Harold M. Bowman
Michigan Law Review
Is congressional redistricting by state legislatures an exercise of the lawmaking function, subject to the governor's veto power? Is fairness in such redistricting secured today either by federal statute or by the federal Constitution? Of these two questions, posed by recent events, the first has been completely answered; the second has been answered in part only -- breeding in its answer new and troublesome problems.
What Is A "Contract" Under The Contracts Clause Of The Federal Constitution?, Paul G. Kauper
What Is A "Contract" Under The Contracts Clause Of The Federal Constitution?, Paul G. Kauper
Michigan Law Review
The case of Coombes v. Getz, recently decided by the United States Supreme Court, raises in a crucial way the question of what is a contract within the meaning of Article I, section 10 of the Constitution, forbidding States to pass laws impairing the obligations of contracts. A provision of the California Constitution in force at the time the plaintiffs brought this action in the state court below made directors of corporations jointly and severally liable to the creditors and stockholders for all moneys embezzled or misappropriated by the officers of the corporation during the term of office of …
The Declaratory Judgment As An Exclusive Or Alternative Remedy, Edwin M. Borchard
The Declaratory Judgment As An Exclusive Or Alternative Remedy, Edwin M. Borchard
Michigan Law Review
In a recent Michigan case the seller of a boiler, claiming a chattel mortgage therein for the unpaid purchase price, brought an action against the person who had bought the boiler at a bankruptcy sale of the property of the original buyer for a declaration that the plaintiff had the right to possession, or in the alternative, that the defendant was under a duty to pay the balance of the original purchase price. The defendant claimed to be the owner free of the mortgage. A majority of the Michigan Supreme Court, on its own motion, for the propriety of the …
Constitutional Law - Due Process And Equal Protection - Right Of Counsel
Constitutional Law - Due Process And Equal Protection - Right Of Counsel
Michigan Law Review
The Scottsboro cases decided by the Supreme Court at the present term raise several interesting constitutional questions. The judgments were assailed on the ground that they were violative of the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment in three respects: (1) that the negroes were tried by juries from which members of their race were systematically excluded; (2) that they were not accorded a fair, impartial and deliberate trial; (3) that due process was denied because the right of counsel, with the usual incidents of consultation and adequate preparation for trial, was lacking. While the Supreme Court …
