Federal Injunction Against Proceedings In State Courts: The Life History Of A Statute, Edgar Noble Durfee, Robert L. Sloss Jun 1932

Federal Injunction Against Proceedings In State Courts: The Life History Of A Statute, Edgar Noble Durfee, Robert L. Sloss

Michigan Law Review

The Judicial Code provides, in section 265, that "the writ of injunction shall not be granted by any court of the United States to stay proceedings in any court of a State," except where authorized by the Bankruptcy Act. This provision, minus the bankruptcy exception, first appeared in an act of 1793, amending the Judiciary Act of 1789. We know next to nothing of the parliamentary history of this statute. We do, however, know that the basic political issue in the framing of the Constitution was that of states' rights, the question how far the new government should be a …

Limitation Of Diversity Jurisdiction In Cases Affecting Foreign Corporations, Gustavus Ohlinger

Michigan Law Review

On February 29, 1932, President Hoover sent to the Senate and House of Representatives a message recommending that the jurisdiction of federal courts based on diversity of citizenship be modified by "providing that where a corporation, organized under the laws of one State, carries on business in another State it shall be treated as a citizen of the State wherein it carries on business as respects suits brought within that State between it and the residents thereof arising out of the business carried on in such State."

Civil Pleading In Scotland, Robert Wyness Millar Feb 1932

Civil Pleading In Scotland, Robert Wyness Millar

Michigan Law Review

Said Lord Chancellor Loreburn, in his answers to the questions addressed to him by Mr. Justice Lurton, preparatory to the drafting of the Federal Equity Rules of 1912: "It may be worth while for Mr. Justice Lurton and his coadjutors to consider the Scottish method of pleading which, in my opinion, is the best." This can only mean that the Lord Chancellor regarded the method in question as superior to that obtaining under the English Rules - certainly a high testimonial coming from such a quarter. Whether the opinion is justified or not is a question which may be left …

Courts-Discretion To Refuse Jurisdiction-Forum Non Conveniens Feb 1932

Courts-Discretion To Refuse Jurisdiction-Forum Non Conveniens

Michigan Law Review

In these days of frequent travel and of corporations doing business in many states, a plaintiff with a transitory cause of action often can get personal service on defendant in more than one jurisdiction. This privilege may be abused, and to meet such abuse a plea of forum non conveniens is proper, the substance of which, as its name implies, is that the forum is not appropriate for the trial of the suit. Where either of the parties is a resident, or where the cause of action arose within the jurisdiction, the forum will usually be as appropriate as any, …

Constitutional Law--Compelling Witness Duty From Absent Nationals

Michigan Law Review

One Blackmer, a citizen of the United States wanted as a witness in the prosecution of Fall and Sinclair, removed to France. Primarily for the purpose of compelling him to return as a witness, Congress enacted, in 1926, the statute commonly known as the Walsh Act. This act provides that whenever the Attorney General or any assistant or district attorney acting under him desires as a witness in a criminal action a person abroad who is a "citizen of the United States or domiciled therein," a subpoena may be issued addressed to a United States consul to be served by …

State Juvenile Court Procedure For Federal Juvenile Offenders, Howard E. Wahrenbrock

Michigan Law Review

The Report on the Child Offender in the Federal System of Justice recommends the enactment of federal legislation which will provide means of utilizing the machinery of existing state juvenile courts where federal laws have been violated by children. The details of such legislation are not suggested in the Report. The legal questions to be encountered in the framing of such legislation call for careful consideration if full advantage is to be taken of the knowledge which the study made for the Commission furnishes. Some of the questions of more general interest will be taken as the subject of this …

Courts-Power To Direct Verdicts Where Forbidden By State Constitution

Michigan Law Review

The constitution of Arizona, sec. 5, art. 18 provides: "The defense of contributory negligence or of assumption of risk shall, in all cases whatsoever, be a question of fact and shall, at all times, be left to the jury." Held, that this section is not binding on a federal court sitting in Arizona, and does not prevent such court from directing a verdict when …
