English Law Courts At The Close Of The Revolution Of 1688, Arthur L. Cross
English Law Courts At The Close Of The Revolution Of 1688, Arthur L. Cross
Michigan Law Review
In view of the part which the judges played for a4d against the first two STUARTS, and in view of the grievances of the subject under the law as administered in the ordinary courts 2 -to say nothing of the Star Chamber and the High Commission-it was to be expected that, in the great political and religious upheaval resulting from the Puritan Revolution and the ensuing Civil War, the legal edifice could not remain unshaken. As is well known, one of the early acts of the Long Parliament, in the summer of 1641, was to ab6lish the Star Chambei, the …
Supreme Court's Theory Of A Direct Tax, J H. Riddle
Supreme Court's Theory Of A Direct Tax, J H. Riddle
Michigan Law Review
The decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Pollock case of 1895 was the beginning of an attempt on the part of the court to formulate a new definition of a direct tax, and since that time in every case which has called for a decision as to whether a particular tax was a direct tax the court has reverted to and tried to harmonize its decision with the reasoning set forth in the Pollock case. This decision overturned a fairly definite and universally accepted definition of a direct tax which had existed for nearly a century. In …

Mild Punishments, Robert Mcmurdy
Mild Punishments, Robert Mcmurdy
Michigan Law Review
If life, freedom, or hope be taken from man, he is ashes. Therefore we ought not to take away any of them lightly. But some, restraint or punishment is necessary. We often miss our aim, however,'by prescribing punishments that are too severe, whereupon human nature revolts, so that it is "impossible to combine certainty with severity," a lesson we have long since learned from the experience of England.
Extension Of Judicial Review In New York, Edward S. Corwin
Extension Of Judicial Review In New York, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
There are several reasons why it should be worth while to investigate the operation of the most unique of American governmental institutions in the most important state of the Union. For one thing, in the person of Chancellor KZN" New York furnished one of the founders of American Constitutional Law, while at the same time it was KzNT's fame that early gave New York decisions the importance they still retain in great part in the field of citation and precedent. Again it was YNT'S influence that inclined the fresh shoot of constitutional jurisprudence in New York in a conservative direction, …

Michigan Law Review
The assize of novel disseisinoriginally lay against the disseisor in possession in favor of the disseisee, and was soon extended to the heir of -the disseisee, but not against the heir or grantee of the disseisor. But the disseisor might be dead or might have conveyed the land, and in such a case the disseisee would be driven to the writ of right with iis delays and chance of battle. But the cases where the defendant had come into possession under a lawful title which was limited in time and had ceased to exist, i.. e., cases where there was …
The Attaint, John M. Zane
The Attaint, John M. Zane
Michigan Law Review
The practice of attainting a jury was the method by which for centuries the English law corrected an erroneous finding of fact by the body of men who, in course of time, came to be called a jury. Today this necessary corrective of judicial administration is very inadequately performed by the judge or judges presiding over the trial. The proceeding is now called a motion for a new trial. The new trial is inadequate for the reason that it does not, as did the attaint, substitute a correct verdict for the one given. It merely reverses or sets aside the …

English Judicature Act Of 1873, Willis B. Perkins
English Judicature Act Of 1873, Willis B. Perkins
Michigan Law Review
It seems to be the general impression that reform in judicial procedure is a new and radical thing in the history of jurisprudence. This is far from the fact. It is as old as jurisprudence itself. From Solon to Justinian, from Justinian to the Magna Charta, from the Magna Charta to Bentham, from Bentham to Field, and in every civilized country, radical changes have taken place from time to time, touching both procedure and substantive law. Court systems have been codified, systematized and rearranged to meet advancing and changing social and industrial conditions. From the religious ceremonies, constituting the methods …

Debt Of The Modern Law Of Guardianship To Roman Law, Charles P. Sherman
Debt Of The Modern Law Of Guardianship To Roman Law, Charles P. Sherman
Michigan Law Review
The Roman law of guardianship grew out of the family organization. It is also quite closely connected with the law of inheritance. The power of a guardian is that form of family power which ordinarily takes the place of paternal power when there is no one to exercise the latter. It was originally at Rome but an extension of the paternal power. In this respect the conception of guardianship is different in English law -- English guardianship rests on the principle of protecting the bodily and mental immaturity of youth.
Ingenuity Of The Infringer And The Courts, Edward S. Rogers
Ingenuity Of The Infringer And The Courts, Edward S. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
The person who imitates a trademark has by common consent come to be described as a "pirate." At the time the designation was first applied, it was more or less appropriate. The pirate saw and coveted his neighbor's successful business, and like any MORGAN, TEACH, SHARKEY, or L'OLLONOIS, sighting a fat galleon laden with plate wallowing in the trade winds, homeward bound from the Indies, he laid himself alongside and took what he wanted. He counterfeited marks and labels as exactly as he could, not as he dared. There was no limit to his impudence. He was deterred only by …
Debt, Assumpsit, And Consideration, W S. Holdsworth
Debt, Assumpsit, And Consideration, W S. Holdsworth
Michigan Law Review
Lord Mansfield is said to have remarked that "nothing in law is so apt to mislead as a metaphor;"' and if the remark is applied to branches of the law, the principles of which are fully developed and abundantly illustrated by decided cases, it is doubtless very true. But the historian of law, who looks at the efforts of the courts to create these principles 'by the expansion and adaptation of a few narrow remedies, will not be inclined to undervalue the use of the metaphor or analogy, 'when used to give effect to the requirements of public policy, and …

The Pelatiah Webster Myth, Edward S. Corwin
The Pelatiah Webster Myth, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
For several years Mr. Hannis Taylor has been endeavoring to persuade the American public that the Constitution, instead of being the work of the Convention of 1787, acting under the guidance of men like Madison, Hamilton, Pinckney, Patterson, Ellsworth, and others of similar caliber, was really the invention of a single individual, Pelatiah Webster by name, whose fame, till Mr. Taylor's resurrection of it in The North American Review for August, 1907, had dropped quite out of historical notice. Since this first publication of his discovery, Mr.Taylor has returned to the attack time and time again, now in a memorial …
The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
The Mosaic Law, Clarence A. Lightner
Michigan Law Review
In recent years much has been learned of the civilization, which developed in early times in Mesopotamia. In Babylon, laws appropriate to a vast and wealthy agricultural nation, which was engaged, also, largely in commerce, had been developed many centuries before the authentic history of other peoples begins. This civilization was Semitic. A great light, where formerly but dim reflections had been seen, was thrown upon this jurisprudence by the discovery, in 1901, of the codification of the laws of Babylonia, which was promulgated by King Hammurabi about 2350 B. C. Migration from Babylonia occurred from time to time, and …

The State's Power Over Foreign Corporations, Harold M. Bowman
Michigan Law Review
This paper is devoted to a consideration of certain phases of our constitutional law governing the authority of the states over foreign corporations as that authority developed between the end of the fourth decade of the last century and the end of the first decade of this, and as it has been altered by a remarkable group of decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States only about a year ago. The subject is one which concerns the frame of our institutions, for the final view which the Court shall take upon the questions involved in this matter …
The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
Michigan Law Review
Inasmuch as this paper is to deal with the judicial reforms of the reign of Henry II, and more particularly with the extension of the jurisdiction of the king's court during that period, we must at the outset, for the purpose of comparison, make a brief study of the courts, their jurisdiction, and their methods of procedure at the close of Saxon and the beginning of Norman times. Mention should first be made of the courts of the hundred and of the shire, for it was in these public local courts, particularly in the former, that in early times justice …
The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin
The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
In tracing the establishment of judicial review subsequently to the inauguration of the national government it will be important to bear in mind that there are two distinct kinds of judicial review, namely, federal judicial review, or the power of the federal courts to review acts of the State legislatures under the United States Constitution, and Judicial review proper; or the power of the courts to pass upon the constitutionality of acts of the coordinate legislatures. That the Judiciary Act of 1789 contemplated, in the mind of its author, Ellsworth, the exercise of the power of review by the national …

The Establishment Of Judicial Review (I), Edwin S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
When Gladstone described the Constitution of the United States as "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man," his amiable intention to flatter was forgotten, while what was considered his gross historical error became at once a theme of adverse criticism. Their contemporaries and immediate posterity regarded the work of the Constitutional Fathers as the inspired product of political genius and essentially as a creation out of hand. Subsequently, due partly to the influence of the disciples of Savigny in the field of legal history, partly to the sway of …
A Recent History Of English Law, Arthur Lyon Cross
A Recent History Of English Law, Arthur Lyon Cross
Michigan Law Review
In 1607, if his own word can be behaved, "tough old Sir Edward Coke," that monster of legal learning, told King James I "that causes which concern the life, or inheritance, or goods, or fortunes of his subjects are not to be decided by natural reason, but by the artificial reason and judgment of the law, which requires long study and experience before a man can attain to the cognizance of it." The celebrated Sir John Fortesque, when pressed on one occasion in the reign of Henry VI by the legal absurdity of a distinction he was laying down as …
