Fraudulent Intent In Trade Mark Cases, Grover C. Grismore Jun 1929

Fraudulent Intent In Trade Mark Cases, Grover C. Grismore

Michigan Law Review

One of the troublesome questions which confront the trade mark lawyer is that as to the extent to which a fraudulent intention is an essential element in trade mark litigation. Must a plaintiff who is seeking injunctive relief, or damages, or an accounting against a defendant who", it is alleged, has simulated his trade mark, trade name or other identifying device, show that the latter has consciously sought to mislead the purchasing public? Judges and legal writers leave the matter in doubt. It is the purpose of this paper to discover, if possible, how this doubt has arisen and to …


The Italian Magistracy Of Labour A Fascist Experiment, Leonard Manyon Jun 1929

The Italian Magistracy Of Labour A Fascist Experiment, Leonard Manyon

Michigan Law Review

The legislators of Fascist Italy, although they vigorously affirm the unprecedented and original character of their achievement, do not despise history--or even pre-history--as a measure of that achievement. In the social and economic no less than in the political sphere, they claim the merit of vast innovations, whose true significance, they tell us, can be gauged only by surveying, across the course of centuries, the evolution of human civilization.


The Penn Cases, Samuel P. Weaver May 1929

The Penn Cases, Samuel P. Weaver

Washington Law Review

The Penn cases came at the climax of one of the most vital periods of English history The Stuart kings had denied the people many of the liberties defined by the Magna Carta and the Common Law, and additional privileges won through the centuries. James II had used every effort to repress the independence of the bar and had in fact prostituted the independence of the bench to the arbitrary prerogative of the lng. Charles II was attempting to evade the provisions of the Petition of Right, wrung from his father through the efforts of Lord Coke and other eminent …


The United States And The League Of Nations, Clarence A. Berdahl Apr 1929

The United States And The League Of Nations, Clarence A. Berdahl

Michigan Law Review

With the ratification of the Treaty of Versailles by the necessary number of Powers on January 10, 1920, there came into existence that new experiment in international cooperation and government known as the League of Nations. It has grown from a membership of 43 states in 1920 to 55 in 1929. Including Great Powers and Small Powers, states of Europe, Asia, Africa, South, Central, and even North America, it can in no sense of the word be properly characterized as a European league merely, or another Holy Alliance, but is truly a world organization. Only Afghanistan, Brazil, Ecuador, Egypt, Russia, …


The Fifteenth Century-The Dark Age In Legal History, Joseph F. Francis Apr 1929

The Fifteenth Century-The Dark Age In Legal History, Joseph F. Francis

Michigan Law Review

Everywhere during the last few decades there has been a revolution in the thinking of educated men. I refer to the revolution in logical method and thought that had its impetus first in the non-Euclidian mathematicians. was then carried on by the logicians and philosophers and finally culminated in the startling conclusions announced by Einstein. This revolution has been an attack on absolutism and on the metaphysical nonentities that pervade all man's learning. The attack is not new, it is only new in vigor, in scope, and in promise.

When The Importer Is A State University, May The Government Collect A Duty?, Sweinbjorn Johnson Mar 1929

When The Importer Is A State University, May The Government Collect A Duty?, Sweinbjorn Johnson

Michigan Law Review

The Tariff Act of 1922 has raised a question which may turn out to be one of great importance as well as one of unusual interest. It appears that in previous acts exemptions were granted, more or less general, in favor of schools, libraries and educational institutions with the result that on imports for their use no duties were levied or collected. In the law of 1922, however, no such exemptions appear, and the customs officers throughout the country have required state universities to pay a duty when the title passed abroad and the articles imported by them were intended …


Forestalling, Regrating And Engrossing, Wendell Herbruck Feb 1929

Forestalling, Regrating And Engrossing, Wendell Herbruck

Michigan Law Review

The earliest attempts in English Law to regulate trade are to be found in the enactments against forestalling, regrating and engrossing and in them, it has been asserted, is the basis of our modern legislation against monopolies and combinations in restraint of trade. Aside, however, from the mention that is occasionally made of these crimes in connection with the history of the laws of trade, the words as a part of legal terminology are almost obsolete, although the word "forestalling" is used to define a crime punishable under the laws of Ohio and doubtless is to be found in other …

In Re Liberty: A Book And Its Critic, Clarence Emmett Manion Jan 1929

In Re Liberty: A Book And Its Critic, Clarence Emmett Manion

Journal Articles

The restrictive craze of American legislators is fast reducing our once virile and individually resourceful population to a race of unthinking automatons. Judicially and otherwise, American liberty and individual competence which is its hand-maid are rapidly being lost. This article discusses the book "Losing Liberty Judicially" by Thomas James Norton and the review of the book by Robert C. Brown.


Proximate Sources Of The Constitution, Clarence Emmett Manion Jan 1929

Proximate Sources Of The Constitution, Clarence Emmett Manion

Journal Articles

The average American who thinks of our Federal Document only in terms of the Philadelphia Convention may not have fully appreciated the fact that before the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown, every American State had already achieved its constitutional independence and had established its own organic law, by which it should not only remain free from the foreign dominion of Great Britain, but should also remain an indestructible unit in The American Federal System. He must remember that the "Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union" which leagued the alleged sovereign and independent States, were in force at the time of …
