General Statements:

Location:

The founders of Richmond College showed rare wisdom and foresight in selecting a location for their institution. Rich­mond is not only the capital of Virginia, but is the best known city in the South, and one of the historic cities of the world. Enduring memorials of American heroes constantly teach les­sons of patriotism and inspire young men with noble ideals. The busy city, with its varied manufactories and extensive commerce, reminds the student that the modern scholar must be practical as well as learned.

Richmond lies midway between the severe cold of the North and the relaxing …

Are Too Many Executive Officers Elective?, Bradley M. Thompson

Michigan Law Review

Michigan manage and conduct state affairs. No one would ship a dead dog over that line without having taken the precaution to skin the animal and save his hide. Listen to the conclusion of the whole matter. Give the people an opportunity to govern the state. Amend the constitution and provide for the election of just two state executive officers, a governor and a lieutenant governor. Give the governor power to appoint by and with the advice and consent of the senate, the other state officers now elected, with power to remove at will such officers to constitute his counsel …

The Constitution Of Oklahoma, John A. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

The constitution of the latest state to be admitted to the Federal Union contains many interesting features, some significant of recent tendencies in state government, and others distinctly novel, which suggest queries as to the probable trend of future development. Public attention has already been attracted to some of the most striking provisions; and a more careful analysis of the constitution as a whole should be of value to those concerned in the problems of American government. At the outset, one familiar with the constitution of the older states will be struck by the length of the Oklahoma document. It …

The Position Of The Law Of Torts In The Spanish System, Clyde Alton Dewitt

Michigan Law Review

The penal and civil codes of Spain, together with its procedural codes, its commercial and notarial codes, and its mortgage law combine to form as highly developed a system of jurisprudence as that enjoyed by any of the civilized nations of today. Under it, the people of our insular possessions have carried on an extensive domestic and foreign commerce, and have developed an organized social and political life. Our government has adopted the commendable policy of interfering as little as possible with the local laws and institutions of the Philippines and Porto Rico, it being evident that any extensive attempt …

A Written Constitution In Some Of Its Historical Aspects, Andrew C. Mclaughlin

Michigan Law Review

That an institution of government, like an institution or practice of society, is a growth and not a creation is now an accepted proposition. No one seeks to argue for it; no one endeavors to deny it. The introduction of this idea into our political thinking strongly influenced our methods and our ideas. In no field of study has the evolutionary idea shown itself more strongly than among workers in history and political science. And yet occasionally one is surprised by seeing how recently this idea has manifested itself in the examination of some historical problems. Until a short time …

Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

In an article in Vol. 22 of the Law Quarterly Review, Professor Albert M. Kales presents a reclassification of future interests in land, the salient feature of which is an attempt to overthrow the conventional conception of a contingent remainder as a future estate given, not presently, but on condition precedent, and to substitute an entirely new conception of his own. This effort, by its boldness and novelty commands something more than a mere passing mention. It is my purpose, first to present as briefly as is consistent with clearness what I conceive to be the common law theory of …

The Scottish Jury, Rufus Fleming

Michigan Law Review

The origin of the jury is one of the subjects on which an agreement has not been. reached by writers on the history of law. A number of theories have been put forward at different times. At this day two of these theories receive considerable support. The first is that the jury system is a gradual and natural sequence from the modes of trial in use among the Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Normans. The second-and perhaps the one more widely accepted at present-is that we owe trial by jury to the legal institutions of the Frankish empire. (Forsyth's "History of Trial by …

The Commerce Clause Of The Federal Constitution And Two Recent Cases Dealing With It, S. S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

In the historic case of M'Culloch v. Maryland, CHIEF Justice Marshall said, referring to the Federal Government: "This government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it, would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was depending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted, but the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising and will probably continue to arise as long as …

Thomas Mcintyre Cooley, Jerome C. Knowlton

Michigan Law Review

In the early fifties, there were four young men practicing at the bar of the State of Michigan who became so influential during the formative period in the jurisprudence of the state that we cannot name one of them without thinking of the others. James V. Campbell, Isaac P. Christiancy, Thomas M. Cooley arid Benjamin F. Graves came from New York parentage and from New England stock. The three last name received their education in the primary schools and academies of New York. As young men seeking their future they came west and settled in different parts of this state. …

Monroe Doctrine Its Status, John F. Simmons

Michigan Law Review

In 1895. President Cleveland in his message to Congress in regard to what has come to be known as the "Venezuela affair" said the Monroe Doctrine "has its place in the code of international law as certainly and as securely as if it were specifically mentioned." To test the accuracy of this statement we must determine as closely as possible what the Monroe Doctrine is and what is the correct meaning of the term "code of international law." Having settled our definitions the issue will be clearly defined and its discussion possibly profitable.
