The Settlement Of Disputes By Arbitration, Alfred N. Heuston May 1926

The Settlement Of Disputes By Arbitration, Alfred N. Heuston

Washington Law Review

A movement has recently gained considerable headway in this country to overturn the well settled common law rule that executory agreements to arbitrate disputes are revocable." Congress and the legislatures of New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, and Oregon have recently enacted laws designed to effect this result. Where such laws are in force it is no longer possible for one to enter into a solemn agreement with another to arbitrate in case any dispute should arise, and later, when a dispute has arisen, resort directly to the courts, in total disregard of such agreement.


The Rule-Making Power Of The Courts, Charles H. Paul May 1926

The Rule-Making Power Of The Courts, Charles H. Paul

Washington Law Review

With regard to the constitutionality of the proposal, the first question that occurs to every lawyer is whether the legislature may delegate the rule-making power to the courts. It seems strange that, in view of the history of English and American procedural law, this question should occur to anyone as presenting a serious objection, but the reason is, of course, that we have got so far away from the original method of regulating court procedure that our inclination is to believe that legislative codes are the only way in which court procedure can be prescribed. As a matter of fact, …


The Evidential Force Of Habit And Repute As Opposed To The Substantive Law Concerning Marriage, Burton J. Wheelon May 1926

The Evidential Force Of Habit And Repute As Opposed To The Substantive Law Concerning Marriage, Burton J. Wheelon

Washington Law Review

The Washington decisions have settled beyond a doubt that a valid marriage can not take place in this state in any manner other than that prescribed by statute. The statutes were originally enacted in 1854 and have come down to us with practically no alterations and with but few additions. As early as 1892 it was decided that the statutory requirements were mandatory, that a ceremony was essential and that common law marriages, in this state, were invalid. Thus the substantive law has become fixed.

Pardons In Impeachment Cases, Maurice Taylor Van Hecke May 1926

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 Court Of Claims, J. H. Toelle May 1926

The Court Of Claims, J. H. Toelle

Michigan Law Review

The Court of Claims was established by Act of Congress in 1855. The original Act provided that at the commencement of each session of Congress, and at the commencement of each month during the session, the Court should report the cases upon which they should have finally acted, stating in each the material facts which they found established by the evidence, with their opinion in the case, and the. reasons upon which such opinion was founded, and the opinion of any judge who should dissent from the majority. It also directed the Court to prepare a bill or bills in …


Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will May 1926

Wills-Admissibility Of Statements Of Testator In Proceedings Contesting A Will

Michigan Law Review

There are, perhaps, very few matters upon which ordinary men are more reticent than the testimentary disposition of their property. The testator, having made his will, often practices the utmost secrecy regarding it, evading questions and, sometimes, even violating the truth in order to preserve peace among his kinsmen until he is gone. And yet, when proceedings are brought for the purpose of contesting the will, we often find the courts admitting in evidence statements made by the testator before or after the making of the will. In a recent California case, in response to the objection that the alleged …

Parent And Child-Action By Parent For Loss Of Services Of Child-Contributory Negligence Of Child As A Defense Apr 1926

Parent And Child-Action By Parent For Loss Of Services Of Child-Contributory Negligence Of Child As A Defense

Michigan Law Review

It appears to be axiomatic with the courts that a parent cannot recover damages for the loss of services of a child, because of an injury negligently inflicted by a third person, if the child was guilty of contributory negligence. Nearly all of the decisions on this point have been reached without any reason being given for the result. Typical opinions, in which any explanation of the rule is conspicuously avoided, may be found in Chicago & G. E. Ry. Co. v. Harney, 28 Ind. 28; Dietrich v. Baltimore, etc. Ry. Co. 58 Md. 347; Cleveland C. & C. …


The Uniformity Of The Maritime Law, George L. Canfield Apr 1926

The Uniformity Of The Maritime Law, George L. Canfield

Michigan Law Review

In 1871, Richard Henry Dana commenced a masterly article on the "History of Admiralty Jurisdiction in the Supreme Court of the United States,'' by writing, "After seventy yea.rs of baffling winds and cross currents in the region of admiralty jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the United States has sailed out into deep water." In 1924, Charles Merrill Hough concludes his delightful "Admiralty Jurisdiction-of Late Years," with the statement, "The years since 1906 have not increased the certainty of maritime law, and they have impaired the tradition of enforceable customs of the sea." And others writing in current legal periodicals have …
