French Jury System, Simeon E. Baldwin

Michigan Law Review

France has never adopted the principle of jury trials in civil cases. For criminal trials, it was introduced during the Revolution in 1790, and by a law of the next year any qualified elector: could be chosen as a juror. It has never, however, been extended beyond the decision of the issue between the accused and the public.

Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

On June 26th, 1902, the supreme court of Ohio rendered three decisions which precipitated a crisis in municipal affairs in that state. For, by these decisions, the court virtually overruled a long line of precedents, and laid down a principle under which scarcely a city in the state possessed a constitutional government. In consequence, the legislature was summoned in extraordinary session to enact a new municipal code for all the cities and villages in the state. The situation was unparalleled, even in American history; and the task before the general assembly was doubtless the most important single act ofmlnicip,- 1,egislati_u …

Michigan Law Review

Attention has been given in Part to the question of the existence of the power, in a personal injury suit, to compel the plaintiff to exhibit his injuries.

And, first, it is to be observed that, in the investigation of this latter subject, no account need be taken of the courts in which it has been definitely decided that the power does not exist. Nor need account be taken of the courts of New York; for …

People, "No provision has tended so strongly to constitute the citizens of the United States one people as this." It is the purpose of this inquiry to ascertain what are the …
