The Relation Of The Federal And The State Judiciary To Each Other, Horace R. Lurton
Michigan Law Review
In the very cordial invitation extended to me by the distinguished President of your Bar Association to participate in the observance of this occasion it was urged that I should make a short address upon the relations of the Federal and State Judiciary to each other. As a reason for my taking this particular subject it was suggested by him that I had had the advantage of a considerable service under both systems.
Law Of Dramatic Copyright. Ii., Edward S. Rogers
Law Of Dramatic Copyright. Ii., Edward S. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
V. Dramatization of novels. - Continued. - Fortunately, we, in the United States, have had very little trouble in regard to the dramatization of novels. The copyright statute provides that the author of a copyrighted book may reserve the right to dramatize and translate his own work. There is no question, however, that but for this act which creates the additional right of dramatization and translation, the English rule would be in force in this country. The exclusive right of translating "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was denied Mrs. Stowe in Stowe v. Thomas, "decided before the enactment of the statute permitting …
May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries? If So, Under What Circumstances?, Thomas H. Shastid
May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries? If So, Under What Circumstances?, Thomas H. Shastid
Michigan Law Review
It is everywhere admitted that, with certain restrictions, the plaintiff in a personal injury suit may, if he so choose, exhibit his injuries-either, in proper cases, directly to the jury; or, in other instances, indirectly, to physicians, who are afterwards to go upon the stand. But what about cases where the plaintiff does not so choose ? What if, when the defendant, or the court itself , suggests that the plaintiff undergo a physical personal inspection, he objects? May the plaintiff , then, when he does so object, be compelled, against his will, to undergo the examination ? Further, in …

Michigan Law Review
Literary Property at Common Law.--There have been few legal questions so generally and so fully discussed-as that relating to the property of authors in their. writings. Up to 1769, it was generally conceded that authors enjoyed, by virtue of the common law, a perpetual copyright, and copyrights were sold and made the basis of family settlements. In 1769, the great case of Millar v. Taylor, was decided. An action had been brought in 1766 to recover ior the piracy of "Thomson's Seasons," and it was held by a majority of the judges, Lord Mansfield, Mr. Justice Aston and Mr. Justice …

The Judicial System Of The German Empire, Richard Hudson
Michigan Law Review
In the German Empire the administration of justice is for the most part left to the states, all the courts being state courts with the exception of the Imperial Court at Leipzig. The Empire has however established unity of tlie law, has given a uniform organization and procedure to the courts of the states, and has by the creation of the Reichsgericht as the highest court of appeal ensured a uniform interpretation of the law. These three methods of securing a uniform administration of justice will be studid in the order named.

Eligibility To Office--As Of What Time Determined, Floyd R. Mechem
Articles
Eligibility to office under our political system cannot be regarded as a natural right, and some rules or regulations are therefore obviously indispensable to determine what shall be the qualifications which shall be deemed necessary or sufficient. These rules are usually express and written ones, though in a few cases they have been deduced by inference from considerations of policy or propriety

Preferences Arising From Trust Relations, Harry B. Hutchins
Preferences Arising From Trust Relations, Harry B. Hutchins
Articles
Where property has once been impressed with a trust, the quality inheres therein and in the proceeds thereof so long as the trust relation continues, provided the rights of a bonafide purchaser for value and without notice do not intervene and identification remain possible. The trust impress, in the absence of a superior equity, at once places property in the preferred class. In equity, trust property belongs to the cesiui que trust, and his claim to it cannot be defeated by the insolvency or dishonesty of the trustee, if it constitutes, in an identifiable form, a part of the trustee's …

Authority Of Allen V. Flood, Horace Lafayette Wilgus
Articles
In the case of Allen v. Flood, one of the Lords asked this interesting question, "If the cook says to her master, 'Discharge the butler or I leave you,' and the master discharges the butler, does the butler have an action against the cook?" This, Lord Shand said, was the simplest form in which the very question in Allen v. Flood could be raised.4 And, like the original question, it puzzled the judges and Lords very much to answer.
