Reasonable Fee And Professional Discipline, William C. Romell
Reasonable Fee And Professional Discipline, William C. Romell
Cleveland State Law Review
The question propounded by this article is - what exactly is the "reasonable" fee, and conversely under what conditions may a fee be adjudged so unreasonable that the legal profession may administer justifiable discipline to the attorney charging such a fee?
Random Thoughts On Marriage And Divorce, Samuel H. Silbert
Random Thoughts On Marriage And Divorce, Samuel H. Silbert
Cleveland State Law Review
Marriage and divorce give rise to our most perplexing legal difficulties. This is partly due to social considerations. A primary cause, however, can be found in the States' Rights Doctrine as a consequence of which there has been constant confusion and a lack of uniformity in our laws. Our various states differ on when people may marry; whom they may marry; the ages at which they may marry; the residence requirements for divorce and the grounds for divorce. Thus, despite the Full Faith and Credit Clause in the United States Constitution, the decrees obtained in one state are not necessarily …

Damages - Expenses Of Litigation - Counsel Fees In A Previous Suit, Gerald M. Lively
Damages - Expenses Of Litigation - Counsel Fees In A Previous Suit, Gerald M. Lively
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs brought this appeal from a judgment dismissing an action to recover the attorney's fees and other expenses of the prosecution of a prior suit with defendant. In the former action plaintiffs had secured a decree requiring defendant to convey to them certain property which the defendant had withheld fraudulently and maliciously. In the present action defendant successfully had moved to dismiss on the grounds that attorney's fees as between original litigants were not recoverable and further that this claim was res judicata due to the prior suit. Held, one justice dissenting as defendant's intentional and wilful misconduct necessitated …
Bills And Notes - Effect On Negotiability Of Provision For Confession Of Judgment, Michigan Law Review
Bills And Notes - Effect On Negotiability Of Provision For Confession Of Judgment, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
A note was made providing for eighteen monthly payments, and on default of any payment, the whole amount to become due; a clause was inserted in the note authorizing confession of judgment on the note in favor of the holder "at any time hereafter . . . for such amount as may appear to be unpaid thereon, together with costs and attorney's fees." Held, the provision for confession of judgment did not destroy the negotiability of the note, since it authorized confession of judgment only after default in one of the installments due. United States v. Nagorney, (D. …
The Measure Of Recovery In Actions For The Infringement Of Copyright, Julian Caplan
The Measure Of Recovery In Actions For The Infringement Of Copyright, Julian Caplan
Michigan Law Review
Since the present federal copyright statute was enacted in 1909, and especially quite recently, there have been repeated attempts at drastic modification of the law. Certain groups contend that the present statutory provisions are not of sufficient protection to the copyright proprietor, whereas other groups contend that the extent of the protection is entirely unwarranted. One of the chief phases of controversy has involved the measure of recovery in suits for infringement. The issue is of fundamental importance, since the measure of damages determines to a large extent how effective the other provisions of the statute will be. Whether, under …

Effect Of Tax Exemption And Tax Refunding Provisions On The Negotiability Of Corporate Bonds
Effect Of Tax Exemption And Tax Refunding Provisions On The Negotiability Of Corporate Bonds
Michigan Law Review
The Connecticut court in a series of recent cases has cast considerable doubt on the negotiability of bonds containing provisions for payment without deduction for taxes and for refunding of personal property taxes paid by the holder on account of the instrument. In Mechanic's Bank v. Johnson it held a promissory note containing a promise to pay taxes assessed against the instrument non-negotiable on the ground that the amount was uncertain. In Mazurkiewicz v. Dowholonek it held unconstitutional an act, passed after the earlier decision, establishing the negotiability of such instruments already in circulation, on the ground that it impaired …
Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster
Invalid Contracts For Contingent Fees, James H. Brewster
Articles
It is not unusual that agreements between attorneys and clients providing for contingent fees contain a stipulation to the effect that no settlement of the controversy concerning which there is a bargain for fees shall be made by the client without the attorney's consent. In the recent case of Davy et at. v. Fidelity and Casualty Ins. Co., 85 N. E. 504, the Supreme Court of Ohio condemns such an agreement as champertous and, by the citation of many Ohio decisions, "demonstrates that this court has always maintained a consistent and unambiguous attitude in regard to contracts of the kind …
