It is important to distinguish the individual interests in domestic relations from the social interest in the family and marriage as social institutions. This social interest must play an important part in determining what individual interests in such relations are to be secured, how far they are to be secured and how they are to be secured. Yet its chief significance is not in connection with securing interests in the domestic relations against the rest of the world but rather in connection with the conflicting interests of the parties to such relations among themselves, the curtailments of normal legal capacity …

Preliminary Stock Subscription Agreements In Missouri, Manley O. Hudson Dec 1915

Preliminary Stock Subscription Agreements In Missouri, Manley O. Hudson

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Preliminary stock subscription agreements are no longer in general use. In the early part of the last century they were a popular means of organizing corporations, but the more modern general statutes of incorporation which now exist in all of the states have made it less convenient to resort to such methods of organization. In some instances they are still necessary, however. Whenever the organization of a quasi-public or cooperative undertaking is contemplated, they are not only convenient, but almost indispensable. If, for instance, it were proposed to build a railroad from Columbia to Jefferson City for which the capital …

Michigan Law Review

The Form of the Summons Under the Recent Michigan Judicature Act - It would be rather remarkable if in revising such a large portion of the statutes as was undertaken by the Commission on Revision and Consolidation of Statutes of the State of Michigan, appointed in 1913, which reported to the legislature the recently enacted Judicature Act (Public Acts of Michigan, 915, § 314), some ambiguity or uncertainty were not to appear in the revision. The Judicature Act is no exception to the general rule, as the lawyer who attempts to begin suit by summons under it will discover at …

Michigan Law Review

Legislative Power to Restrict Freedom of Labor Contracts -The struggle between the police power of the legislature and the nineteenth century idea of due process of law continues unremittingly. That increasing social necessities and a more comprehensive and perfect conception of justice have resulted in recent years in restricting the "due process" clauses in federal and state constitutions to their historically and logically more correct meaning and scope there can be no doubt. Scores, if not hundreds, of decisions by our courts and conspicuously those of the United States Supreme Court have shown complete recognition of the fact that the …

Writ Of Certiorari In Missouri, The, J. P. Mcbaine Feb 1915

Writ Of Certiorari In Missouri, The, J. P. Mcbaine

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Due to the fact that the Supreme Court of Missouri has recently decided several cases involving questions as to the use of the extraordinary legal remedy of the writ of certiorari, and to the further fact that this ancient remedy is governed by common law principles, this study of the Missouri decisions pertaining to certiorari has been undertaken. Use of the writ in Missouri is increasing, and since the law relating to the writ is not governed by our code of pleading and practice, or by a special code as are mandamus, prohibition, habeas corpus, and quo warranto, the other …
