Michigan Law Review

Maritime Liens - Personality of Ship - In Coal Company v. Fisheries Company (Advanced Sheets, Nov. 15, ig2o), the Supreme Court denies a lien for supplies of coal furnished the owner of a fleet of vessels for use thereon and, incidentally, brings into stronger relief the admiralty doctrine of the personality of the ship as distinguished from that of the owner. At the time the arrangement was made, the shipowner was without money or credit and could not enter upon its operations without a supply of coal for its ships and factories. The Coal Company agreed to supply its requirements …

Baseball and the Judiciary - The acceptance by Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis of the position of supreme arbiter of professional baseball, as recently announced, raises questions of good taste if not of propriety. It has been generally assumed that Judges of the District Court of the United States have their hands amply full if they do the work incumbent upon them in a way befitting a judge of the United States. It may well be true that the salary provided by the Government is grossly inadequate, but we dare say that no one has considered that the remedy for such …

Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell Dec 1920

Constitutional Law In 1919-1920 Ii, Thomas Reed Powell

Michigan Law Review

Two important cases sustained objections to applications of the federal income tax. In each there was vigorous dissent. Evans v. Gore2 held that the constitutional provision that the federal judges shall receive "a compensation which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office" applies to diminution by inclusion of that compensation in the assessment of the general federal tax on net income. The case at bar involved a tax on the i918 compensation of a judge appointed in 1899. While not directly qualified by anything in the opinion, the decision would seem to have no application to judges appointed …

Local And Special Legislation In Missouri Under The Constitution Of 1875 (Continued), Roscoe E. Harper

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

It was indicated in the preceding chapter that a general law relates to persons or things as a class; that this class is determined by a "distinguishing peculiarity" which bears a reasonable relation to the purpose for which the statute was enacted; and that this class includes all things which may come within it at any future time. It now remains to examine the cases in which this test has been applied.

Constitutional Law In 1919-1920, Thomas Reed Powell

Michigan Law Review

This review aims to include all the decisions on constitutional questions rendered by the Supreme'Court of the United States during the October Term of court which began in October, i919, and ended in June, i92o.1 The treatment for the most part contents itself with exposition. The footnotes give references to articles and editorial notes in recognized law journals commenting on the cases here reviewed and on the more important constitutional decisions of other courts.2 The classification of the cases and the arrangement of topics are not satisfactory, but no alternative seems distinctly superior. A classification on the basis of the …

The Law And Lawyers, William J. Hoynes Nov 1920

The Law And Lawyers, William J. Hoynes

Journal Articles

In this piece, William Hoynes rebukes the pessimism of onlookers who fear that the legal profession has lost its virtue and become overcrowded. Here, Hoynes concedes that the lawyer population has expanded due to a correlating growth of business and that some who bear the title “lawyer” have failed the honor of the profession through the predatory tactic of inciting potential litigants. However, Hoynes moderates this view by shedding light on the prevalence of obtaining legal education to arm oneself with tools useful in reaching success in a myriad of fields other than law practice. In sum, this paper asserts …

Recovery Of Life Insurance When Insured Died In Military Service, Ralph W. Aigler Jan 1920

Recovery Of Life Insurance When Insured Died In Military Service, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

A group of very recent cases, representative no doubt of many others pending, involve an interesting and important question as to the construction of military and naval service clauses in life insurance policies. These clauses which have been common in policies, at least in those issued in the last few years, while varying in wording-and these variations may be vitally important,-provide in general that if the insured meets death while engaged in military or naval service the liability of the insurer shall be limited to the premiums paid, unless permission to engage in such service shall have been obtained from …
