Recent Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, George W. Wichersham

Michigan Law Review

The only legitimate end and object of all government is the greatest good of the greatest number of the people. The means by which this end is attained vary in accordance with the experience and the temperament of the people. Government is necessarily more or less of an experiment at all times, but as men have been making similar experiments ever since the dawn of recorded history, the waste of repeating unsuccessful experiments of the past may be avoided by studying the records of the results of earlier effort; and, other things being equal, all thoughtful persons will agree, that …

The Doctrine Of Survivorship And The Definition Of A Vested Remainder, Henry W. Webber

Michigan Law Review

Here probably is not a more cited case in the law of survivorships than the leading case of Moore v. Lyons, which, in 1840, firmly laid down the rule of construction that words of survivorship prima facie refer to death in the lifetime of the testator, rather than to death in the lifetime of the life-tenant. In a devise, therefore, to one for life, and from and after his death to two others (naming them), or to the survivor of them, the remainderman takes a vested interest at the death of the testator even though one of them predeceased the …

The Law In Its Relation To Morals And Religion, Edwin C. Goddard

Articles

"Man is a religious being... Man has never lived to himself alone. His natural state has ever been a social one, in which development and enjoyment became possible only by mutual inter-dependence and social intimacy. Government is not an invention, not a necessary evil to which men submit. On the contrary... it has been man's natural instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence ... [a]nd universally this government has been more or less closely related to religious institutions."

The New York Employers' Liability Act, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

In the recent case of Ives v. South Buffalo Railway Company the New York Court of Appeals annulled upon constitutional grounds, the so-called Wainwright Workmen's Compensation Law which sought to impose upon employers in certain specified extra-hazardous occupations a limited liability in cases of injuries to their employees regardless of the fact as to whether the negligence of the latter might have contributed to the injury or whether the risk had been well understood and assumed. The act did not abolish or modify the common law liability of the employer in cases where contributory negligence or assumption of risk could …

Public Regulation Of Water Power In The United States And Europe, John A. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

The law of water rights in the United States has been for the most part regulated by the several states, subject, however, to the power of Congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, (which includes the control of navigation and of navigable streams in the interest of commerce) and to the control of the United States over waters on public lands and rivers on the international boundaries. The laws of the several states show considerable variation; but in respect to the use of water power, they have until within a few years been based mainly on the protection of private …

The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson

Michigan Law Review

Inasmuch as this paper is to deal with the judicial reforms of the reign of Henry II, and more particularly with the extension of the jurisdiction of the king's court during that period, we must at the outset, for the purpose of comparison, make a brief study of the courts, their jurisdiction, and their methods of procedure at the close of Saxon and the beginning of Norman times. Mention should first be made of the courts of the hundred and of the shire, for it was in these public local courts, particularly in the former, that in early times justice …

The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross

Michigan Law Review

There are not more than one hundred and forty practicing English lawyers in the whole Province but they practically all read French and the greater number speak French sufficiently well to conduct business or examine a witness in Court. Lawyers from the other Provinces seldom seek admission to the Quebec Bar unless they are prepared to specialize in some branch of law in which they have gained a national reputation, or enter some established firm. Lawyers of other Provinces seeking to become members of the Quebec Bar are asked to pass an oral examination on the Statute Law of the …
