Michigan Law Review

The Death of Dean Thayer - The death on September 15th of Ezra Ripley Thayer, dean of the Harvard Law School, has brought irreparable loss not only to the institution which he had brilliantly served, but to the cause of legal education throughout the country. Dean Thayer was the rarely fine product of conditions and environment which have been perhaps the most richly fruitful that our nation has known. The son of a most distinguished legal scholar and teacher, he grew up in association with much that was best and most inspiring in Massachusetts and in the great university from …

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham Jun 1915

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

To impress these unfamiliar facts on our consciousness, so that we shall not lose sight of them during the rest of our discussion, so that we shall not slur them or cloud them by vague use of symbolic ideas or terms concerning property and title, let us repeat the essence of the legal situation. Jackson is the holder of a fee simple acquired tortiously. His title to that fee--i. e. the facts which would induce the courts upon occasion to give him the remedies "vindicating" the existence of this vested fee in him--consist in his actual exclusive use and control …

Michigan Law Review

The Completion of a Contract by Posting of Acceptance - In the recent case of Kennedy Mcrcantile Co. v. Western Union Telegraph Co., the court says, "It is well settled law in this state that,where an offer is submitted by letter, an acceptance is conclusive and binding when a letter is deposited in the post-office accepting the same. The delivery to the one making the offer is not the test; for when the offer is submitted in that way it is equivalent to an invitation to accept by the same means, and when the acceptance is delivered to the agency …

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham May 1915

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

The careful student of our law of property needs no demonstration of the importance of legal possession. From before the date of the earliest year book the word possession and its synonym seisin have pervaded legal language and have signified matters of great consequence in the decision of cases. "In the history of our law," say Pollock and Maitland, "there is no idea more cardinal than that of seisin. Even in the law of the present day it plays a part which must be studied by every lawyer; but in the past it was so important that we may almost …

Some Sociological Aspects Of Criminal Law, Harriette M. Dilla May 1915

Some Sociological Aspects Of Criminal Law, Harriette M. Dilla

Michigan Law Review

There is a vast need for something that will sometime be written upon the subject of Sociology as a basis of Criminal Law and Procedure. The science of what may be termed Sociological Jurisprudence is in an embryonic state at present and the nearest approach perhaps is what we call Criminal Sociology or Criminology. The progress of this study has been rapid but we may still hope for .a more general application of principle! to practice. It is true that readjustment in law is more difficult than in other fields, as necessary formalities of procedure often seem to impose unreasonable …

Michigan Law Review

Limitation as to the Amount of Liability for Loss of Goods by Carriers - A carload of automobiles was shipped by express, under an express receipt limiting recovery to $50, unless a greater value was named and a greater carrying charge paid. The shipper knew of this stipulation, and deliberately chose the restricted liability so as -to secure the lower rate. On a suit for loss of the automobiles, recovery was limited to $5o. Geo. N. Pierce Co. v. Wells Fargo & Co., I89 Fed. 561, commented on in 10 MICH. L. RSv. 317. The United States Supreme Court has …

Year Book Of Richard Ii, John M. Zane Apr 1915

Year Book Of Richard Ii, John M. Zane

Michigan Law Review

The Publication of a year book in this country is an event for our legal scholarship. The trustees of the Ames Foundation in a spirit that is Worthy of the great legal scholar in whose honor the foundation was instituted, have made the publication possible, but it is to be inferred from the Introduction by the Editor that the book was not prepared at their instance. He tells us that he has had, for correcting various inaccuracies, the assistance of certain members of the Harvard law faculty, but it is not to be supposed that they have given a critical …

Michigan Law Review

Legislative Power to Restrict Freedom of Labor Contracts -The struggle between the police power of the legislature and the nineteenth century idea of due process of law continues unremittingly. That increasing social necessities and a more comprehensive and perfect conception of justice have resulted in recent years in restricting the "due process" clauses in federal and state constitutions to their historically and logically more correct meaning and scope there can be no doubt. Scores, if not hundreds, of decisions by our courts and conspicuously those of the United States Supreme Court have shown complete recognition of the fact that the …

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion Mar 1915

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

The International status of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and J-of the Kingdom of Belgium, through whose territory the army of Kaiser William II marched, in order, to use the expression of Grotius, "to meet the enemy," has been, since the outbreak of the present European war, the crucial point of discussion between the diplomatists and publicists of the belligerents, each trying to impress upon the neutral public the justice of the cause of their country.

Michigan Law Review

Revocability of Licenses - The Rule of Wood v. Leadbitter - That a mere license purporting to create in the licensee a new right or privilege is revocable at law at the will of the licensor seems to have been definitely settled in England by Wood v. Leadbitter. It was there held that the plaintiff who had entered the close of the defendant's master after the purchase of a proper ticket could be -forcibly ousted, notice having been first given that he should leave. The only remedy open to the ousted ticket holder-in law at least-no excessive violence having been …

Writ Of Certiorari In Missouri, The, J. P. Mcbaine Feb 1915

Writ Of Certiorari In Missouri, The, J. P. Mcbaine

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Due to the fact that the Supreme Court of Missouri has recently decided several cases involving questions as to the use of the extraordinary legal remedy of the writ of certiorari, and to the further fact that this ancient remedy is governed by common law principles, this study of the Missouri decisions pertaining to certiorari has been undertaken. Use of the writ in Missouri is increasing, and since the law relating to the writ is not governed by our code of pleading and practice, or by a special code as are mandamus, prohibition, habeas corpus, and quo warranto, the other …

Liability To Third Persons Of Associates In Defectively Incorporated Associations, Joseph L. Lewinsohn Feb 1915

Liability To Third Persons Of Associates In Defectively Incorporated Associations, Joseph L. Lewinsohn

Michigan Law Review

The principles underlying the obligations to third persons of the members of defectively incorporated associations, are few and not difficult of apprehension. Yet there is hardly a topic in the law of private corporations upon which the views of both courts and theoretical writers dre in more disagreement. This disagreement is concerned largely with three questions, namely: What is the basis and scope of the doctrine of de facto corporations? Are persons dealing with the associates on a corporate basis estopped to deny the corporate character of the association? Are the associates ipso facto liable as partners? Upon all of …

Early History Of Equity, W S. Holdsworth Feb 1915

Early History Of Equity, W S. Holdsworth

Michigan Law Review

Mr W. T. BARBOUR'S Essay on the History of Contract in early English Equity, which has been published this year in Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, is one of the most, if not the most, valuable of the contributions to English Legal History which has yet appeared in that series. Mr. BARBOUR is to be congratulated on his first appearance in a field in which the harvest, though somewhat difficult to collect, is very abundant,-- in a field in which the labourers are all too few. I think too that the Essay is important not only because it …

Note And Comment, Hollis Harshman Feb 1915

Note And Comment, Hollis Harshman

Michigan Law Review

Breach of Landlord's Covenant as Defense to Action for Rent - It is undoubtedly well settled that if the agreement to pay rent is dependent upon the performance by the landlord of some undertaking on his part, the failure by the landlord so to perform is a good defense to an action for the rent. It is equally well settled that if the agreements are independent such failure by the landlord is no defense. The difficulty arises in determining whether the agreements are dependent or independent. That question is one of construction, and it cannot be expected that all the …
