The Position Of The Law Of Torts In The Spanish System, Clyde Alton Dewitt Dec 1907

The Position Of The Law Of Torts In The Spanish System, Clyde Alton Dewitt

Michigan Law Review

The penal and civil codes of Spain, together with its procedural codes, its commercial and notarial codes, and its mortgage law combine to form as highly developed a system of jurisprudence as that enjoyed by any of the civilized nations of today. Under it, the people of our insular possessions have carried on an extensive domestic and foreign commerce, and have developed an organized social and political life. Our government has adopted the commendable policy of interfering as little as possible with the local laws and institutions of the Philippines and Porto Rico, it being evident that any extensive attempt …

The Constitution Of Oklahoma, John A. Fairlie Dec 1907

The Constitution Of Oklahoma, John A. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

The constitution of the latest state to be admitted to the Federal Union contains many interesting features, some significant of recent tendencies in state government, and others distinctly novel, which suggest queries as to the probable trend of future development. Public attention has already been attracted to some of the most striking provisions; and a more careful analysis of the constitution as a whole should be of value to those concerned in the problems of American government. At the outset, one familiar with the constitution of the older states will be struck by the length of the Oklahoma document. It …


American Law School Degrees, James Parker Hall Dec 1907

American Law School Degrees, James Parker Hall

Michigan Law Review

Last August, at the annual meeting of the American Bar Association held at Portland, Maine, the Committee on Legal Education made a report proposing that the Association should recommend to the various state legislatures the adoption of certain rules suggested by the committee to secure uniformity in law degrees. These rules provided that an L.B. should be conferred by law schools maintaining a two years course; an LL. B. for three years of legal study; an LL. M. for four years, of which one should be postgraduate; and a D. C. L. or J. D. for five years, of which …

Federal Treaties And State Laws, Charles Noble Gregory Nov 1907

Federal Treaties And State Laws, Charles Noble Gregory

Michigan Law Review

The rights of foreigners, in case of conflict between federal treaties with their several countries and laws enacted by the states, have been recently much considered. Such questions are undoubtedly to be solved by constitutional law under our frame of government, but they so directly affect our international obligations and relations that they are habitually treated as proper topics to be discussed in our best works on International Law.

Case Of The Monopolies Some Of Its Results And Suggestions, Sydney T. Miller Nov 1907

Case Of The Monopolies Some Of Its Results And Suggestions, Sydney T. Miller

Michigan Law Review

Apparently the monopolistic idea is as old as the history of man. That great and good man, Job, may be counted as the earliest recorded "trust-buster," if we read between the lines of his story, and Solomon said, "He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it." Doubtless, by exhaustive search, we could find some record of attempts to monopolize during each century from Biblical days to the time of printing, and as surely there must have been a countermovement. But not until the last five hundred years …


Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence (Part 1), Theodore P. Ion Nov 1907

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence (Part 1), Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

A comparison of the Roman law with Mohammedan jurisprudence, is a task not easy to accomplish, nor can an essay on that theme be made comprehensive enough to embrace all the ramifications of both legal systems. The object, therefore, of the present article, is to make only a cursory comparison of them; and to demonstrate their similarity in more than one point, showing the close analogy existing between them, and the influence that the laws of Rome exercised in the development of the Islamic legislation. As in the early days of Rome, law and religion had a close connection with …
