Some Difficulties Of Code Pleading, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1910

Some Difficulties Of Code Pleading, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

The common law system of pleading was founded upon the theory that issues of fact, representing the gist of the controversy between the contending parties to a suit, should be developed by the pleadings. In practice this was not always realized, for many fictions and legal conclusions obtained recognition as legitimate allegations, and upon them issues were formed which satisfied the courts. The most striking and familiar instance of this is found in the common counts. Here there is an allegation of indebtedness, which is a mere legal conclusion, and with this as a consideration a promise to pay is …


State Regulations Affecting Interstate Commerce, Horace Lafayette Wilgus Jan 1910

State Regulations Affecting Interstate Commerce, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

The line between regulations of intrastate and interstate commerce is difficult to draw and hard to maintain. This is well illustrated in the recent case of St. Louis Southwestern Railway Company v. Arkansas, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States April 4, 1910, Advance Sheets, May I, 1910, p. 476, 30 Sup.Ct. 476.


Corporation Liens On Stock, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1910

Corporation Liens On Stock, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

At common law a corporation had no lien upon its stock for assessments unpaid or for debts due it from its shareholders.6 There are therefore but four possible methods by which liens could be created in favor of the corporation upon the stock which it issues, (i) by statute, (2) by charter, (3) by by-law, (4) by contract.

Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger Jan 1910

Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger

Michigan Law Review

It has frequently been remarked that of all nations, China approaches most nearly the Jeffersonian ideal in being the least governed. To a greater extent than any other people, the Chinese manage their own affairs. The usages of trade are defined by the various commercial guilds-organizations which have acquired a prestige and influence without parallel in any other country. Commercial disputes are submitted to these bodies and by them are settled promptly, finally, and usually satisfactorily. Matters of currency and exchange are determined by the powerful bankers' guild. Physicians, fortune-tellers, geomancers and even mendicants, have their organizations through which the …


Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller Dec 1909

Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller

Michigan Law Review

There are probably few questions of greater interest, both present and future, than those which concern the relations between corporations performing the so-called public services on the one hand, and their immediate patrons and the general public on the other. These questions relate to the quality and safety of the services rendered, to the rights of all members of the public to receive service without discrimination, and to the charges which may be exacted for those services. To a great extent they involve matters of public policy and economics, rather than those which are strictly legal in nature, while even …

The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce Nov 1909

The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

There are few cases before the American courts today which are of more significance than that which has recently been brought in the Illinois courts by William E. Ritchie of Chicago and which seeks "to enjoin the prosecuting officers of the state from enforcing the provisions of the so-called Women's' Ten-Hour Labor Law. The case of course involves the somewhat mooted question as to whether the remedy in such cases, if remedy there be at all, is by injunction, or whether the slower and more unsatisfactory procedure of a writ of error is not technically demanded, but this question is …
