Contracts-Doctrine Of "Commercial Frustration" As Applied To Leases Of Real Property, Margaret Groefsema S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
A mushroom crop of litigation has sprung up as a result of wartime governmental restrictions on production and consumption of civilian goods, particularly with respect to regulations of the sale of gasoline, tires, automobiles, and automobile accessories.

The Assignment Of A Life Insurance Policy, Grover C. Grismore
Michigan Law Review
There is a great deal of uncertainty and confusion in the decided cases in regard to the effect to be given to the assignment of a life insurance policy.

Michigan Law Review
The destruction and impairment of contracts caused by governmental agencies because of the necessities of war production have been more far-reaching than is generally realized.
