A Review Of Annual Survey Of American Law: 1947, Edson R. Sunderland Dec 1948

A Review Of Annual Survey Of American Law: 1947, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

This is the sixth annual volume in which the faculty of the New York University School of Law has published its summary of the important developments in American law. The magnitude of the task required to produce these volumes would be considered beyond the capacity of the teaching staff of any single law school if the actual publication, year by year, of these monumental surveys did not prove that it could be accomplished.


The Codification Of International Law, James L. Brierly Nov 1948

The Codification Of International Law, James L. Brierly

Michigan Law Review

Any conclusion about the desirability or the practicability of codifying international law ought to be based on a clear idea of what the process would involve, and unfortunately "codification" is an ambiguous word. In the sense in which British and American lawyers use the word it relates to the form in which the law is presented. When we codify, we do not regard the task as one of improving the substance of the law, but as one of collecting the existing rules and stating them concisely and clearly. It is true that, even so, the work must involve some element …


Legal Problems Of German Occupation, Charles Fahy Nov 1948

Legal Problems Of German Occupation, Charles Fahy

Michigan Law Review

In early May, 1945, after conflict of almost unimaginable proportions, the ground forces of Germany which were still fighting had been pushed back into the boundaries of Germany; the resistance of its army, navy and air forces was collapsing. The armies of the United States, the United Kingdom, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and France were in actual occupation of practically all of Germany. The German government composed of Hitler and his cabinet had come to an end by the death, capture or flight of its members. Under Hitler's "political testament," however, Admiral Doenitz was recognized as Hitler's successor …


The Legal Status Of Occupied Germany, Max Rheinstein Nov 1948

The Legal Status Of Occupied Germany, Max Rheinstein

Michigan Law Review

The unprecedented situation presently existing in Germany has, of necessity, given rise to new and intricate questions of international law. Of these, one set of problems appears to me to deserve special attention because of both their theoretical and practical significance, namely, the problems concerning the legal relations between Germany and .her occupiers.


International Law And Air Transportation, Charles S. Rhyne Nov 1948

International Law And Air Transportation, Charles S. Rhyne

Michigan Law Review

There was never a time when the people of this nation were more internationally-minded than they are today. The position of world leadership which has now been assumed by, or thrust upon, the United States makes the study of international relations under international law a most vital subject. It is our purpose here to consider the legal rules which have been and are being developed to govern a field whose technical achievements are one of the primary reasons why lawyers and laymen alike are vitally concerned with international law today-the field of international air transportation.


A Modern Law Of Nations, Percy E. Corbett Nov 1948

A Modern Law Of Nations, Percy E. Corbett

Michigan Law Review

The title of Professor Jessup's book implies a criticism of the existing, or "traditional" law of nations. That law is not, apparently, modern. What the author means can be gleaned from his first paragraph. The existing principles, institutions and procedures intended to govern the conduct of states and usually referred to as "international law," are not adequate to meet the conscious needs of today's world. Those needs find their sharpest expression in a widespread demand for a more reliable world order, one more capable of resolving peaceably conflicts between states, more capable of resisting the forces which periodically tear the …
