Matrimonial Domicil And Marital Rights In Movables, Arthur Leon Harding
Matrimonial Domicil And Marital Rights In Movables, Arthur Leon Harding
Michigan Law Review
The American decisions in Conflicts of Laws relating to the rights acquired by one spouse in the property of the other by virtue of the fact of marriage stand as a monument to Joseph Story . Almost without exception the cases discussed hereafter have been decided on the basis of his thorough analysis of the law of the Pandects and the eighteenth century civilians. Even where his principles have not been approved, the courts have departed from them only after real and serious consideration. This fact, kept in mind, greatly simplifies the study of the cases themselves.
Conflict Of Laws-Judicial Notice Of Foreign Law
Conflict Of Laws-Judicial Notice Of Foreign Law
Michigan Law Review
Substantively, "the subject of judicial notice . . . belongs where the general topic of legal or judicial reasoning belongs, - to that part of the law which defines among other things, the nature and limitations of the judicial function - it is, indeed, woven into the very texture of this function." Functionally, the subject of judicial notice is that portion of procedural law relating to "Proof'' wherein the ordinary rules of evidence are inapplicable. That is to say, certain propositions, "facta probanda," of a party's case will be taken for true by the tribunal without proof. These are generally …

This is the point of departure for the discussion to follow.

The decedent, in Florida, became the grantee of Florida land by a deed which recited that it was made subject to a mortgage held by one Key, in the sum of $9,000, securing a note for that amount.

Michigan Law Review
H obtained a divorce in Alabama under a statute prohibiting remarriage without. permission of the court.
