International Standing In Court Of Foreign Corporations, Elvin R. Latty

Michigan Law Review

The Supreme Court of Mexico has recently pronounced a decision of more than passing interest to the American Bar, not only because of the legal basis upon which the decision was rendered, but also because of its probable far-reaching consequences. The plaintiff corporation, organized under the laws of Delaware, brought suit for infringement of its trade mark which had been duly registered in Mexico. The Supreme Court held that inasmuch as the plaintiff was not registered in Mexico it had no existence there for the purposes of bring suit. It does not appear that the plaintiff was engaged in business …

Criminal Law-Prosecution For Poisoning Not Resulting In Fatality

Michigan Law Review

In considering the question of criminal liability for poisoning not resulting in death, the problem may be discussed to best advantage by making the following four-fold classification: (1) administering with intent to kill, (2) attempt to administer with intent to kill, (3) administering with intent to injure, and (4) attempt to administer with intent to injure.

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 Immunity Of Foreign States When Engaged In Commercial Enterprises: A Proposed Solution, John G. Hervey

Michigan Law Review

Do governments which engage in commercial undertakings assume the civil and criminal liabilities imposed upon private corporations engaged in similar enterprises, or do governments confer sovereign privileges upon their undertakings? Can governments engage in commercial enterprises and thereby escape the liabilities imposed upon private individuals? More particularly, are foreign governments engaged in such undertakings exempt from process in the American courts?

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.

The Scope Of Judicial Review, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

There was nothing known to the common law which was, or could properly be called, a true appeal from one court to another, and this was so in England until the judicature act of 1873. There were, however, certain imperfect and restricted methods by which some sort of redress could be had for an unjust decision.

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 …

The Primitive Character And Origin Of The Bonorum Possessio, George M. Bush

Michigan Law Review

The Bonorum Possessio, or Praetorian inheritance or succession, is one of the most important, complicated and difficult sections in the study of the Private law of Rome.

Judicial Precedent In Mexican Law

Michigan Law Review

It is well known that precedent in the modern legal systems based upon the Roman law does not play the important role that it performs in the United States and Great Britain. A decision in an Anglo-American supreme court not only determines the point at issue but establishes a rule under which decisions may be made in the future. A decision in a Latin-American, or in a Continental supreme court has only the value of a judgment on the particular point in question. The body of decisions rendered upon the same point of law is not considered in the countries …

Appeal Of Death And Its Abolition, William Renwick Riddell

Michigan Law Review

The Appeal of Death-or, as it is sometimes called, the Appeal of Murder, because it was generally invoked in cases of murder although cases of manslaughter were also within its scope-was an interesting survival of ancient law which continued its existence in England until a little more than a century ago, and which, when it fell, brought down a mass of crumbling and antiquated rubbish, which served no good purpose and might-sometimes did-do harm.

Pardons In Impeachment Cases, Maurice Taylor Van Hecke

Michigan Law Review

A year ago, Governor Miriam Ferguson, of Texas, approved an act of the legislature of that state, the gist of which reads as follows:

"That every person against whom any judgment of conviction has heretofore been rendered by the Senate of the State of Texas in any impeachment case, shall be and is hereby granted a full and unconditional release of any and all acts and offenses of which he was so convicted by said Senate of the State of Texas, upon any charge or proceedings of impeachment.

"That any and all penalties or punishment inflicted by or resulting from …

The Technique Of Judicial Appointment, Harold J. Laski

Michigan Law Review

It is difficult to overestimate the significance of the judiciary in the modern state. The work of the executive has become so vast, the powers delegated to it by the legislature are so wide, that judges are, perhaps more than at any previous time, the real safeguard of personal liberty. It is only necessary to recall cases like Coppage v. Kansas, or R. v. Halliday, to realize how nearly judicial activity goes to the very heart of freedom. That is, of course, even more the case when, as with America, the constitution of the state is written, and …
