Case Of The Monopolies Some Of Its Results And Suggestions, Sydney T. Miller

Michigan Law Review

Apparently the monopolistic idea is as old as the history of man. That great and good man, Job, may be counted as the earliest recorded "trust-buster," if we read between the lines of his story, and Solomon said, "He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him; but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it." Doubtless, by exhaustive search, we could find some record of attempts to monopolize during each century from Biblical days to the time of printing, and as surely there must have been a countermovement. But not until the last five hundred years …

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 …

The Beveridge Child Labor Bill And The United States As Parens Patriae, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

Although strenuous opposition has been encountered in the courts whenever an attempt has been made by the legislatures to interfere with the contractual freedom of adults in matters pertaining to the contract of employment, the right of interference in the case of children has been always conceded. From an early time minors have been placed under contractual disability by the law and have been looked upon as wards of the State. Having denied to them a full measure of contractual freedom, the State can hardly deny an equivalent protection; in fact the rule of contractual disability is in a large …

Commercial Aspect Of Uniform State Laws, Francis B. James

Michigan Law Review

A T the close of the American Revolution and even after the adoption of the articles of Confederation, each American State was not only a political unit but an industrial and commercial unit. Meafis of communication were few and cost of transportation almost prohibitive except in border and coast cities. Each State not only determined its political future but its own industrial and commercial policy. The Constitution of the United States, adopted in 1789, recognized the fact that each State continued as a political unit and at the same time created another political unit, the nation at large. It also …

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 …

Humanistic, And Paticularly Classical, Studies, As A Preparation For The Law, Harry B. Hutchins

Michigan Law Review

Aside from the elementary branches, no particular subject is absolutely essential as a basis for the study and practice of the law. In this respect the law occupies a place somewhat different from that of the other learned professions. The student and practitioner of medicine must of necessity get a substantial scientific foundation for his professional work. This for him is an absolutely essential prerequisite. For the professional courses in engineering, a special and definite scientific preparation must be made. Without it nothing but the most ordinary work in engineering can be accomplished. And it is probable that for theology, …

The Opportunities And Responsibilites Of American Law Schools, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

With two bodies dealing in general with the subject of legal education, the Section of Legal Education and this Association, meeting annually, and with occasionally a third, the Conference of State Boards of Law Examiners, each endeavoring to present papers and arouse discussion, it is obvious that the number of new questions which anyone may hope to suggest is necessarily, small. Most of the important questions have already been discussed, many of them more than once, and anything which is now presented is likely to smack of the truism or the platitude. The very remarkable increase, however, both in the …

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. …

His life is another of, the many illustrations that great as are the advantages of the possession of wealth, when properly used, and the opportunity of attending the higher institutions of learning, they are not essentials to the attaining of great influence and a position of well deserved eminence. His education was obtained by attending the district schools, supplemented by a short term in the academy at Dow, New York. He was an omnivorous reader of such books, magazines and newspapers as were obtainable by …
