Fellow Servant Doctrine In The United States Supreme Court, Albert Martin Kales

Michigan Law Review

The difficulties of the fellow servant doctrine in the United States Supreme Court have been thought to centre principally about the Ross case. The Baugh case, has been said to go far toward overruling it, and the more recent case of New England Railroad Co. v. Conroy, is now taken as overruling it in terms. Nevertheless, the writer believes that the results of all t here cases may be supported upon a common principle. This principle it is the object of this article to suggest.

The Law And Justice, Charles A. Kent

Michigan Law Review

Here is often complaint that the decisions of the courts are unjust. Probably such complaints have always existed, and they may be no greater to-day than usual. Often, perhaps usually, defeated suitors feel that they have suffered injjustice. There is a public feeling that the rules of law produce much delay in criminal cases, that convictions are set aside by the higher courts for what seem trivial reasons, and that often in consequence the guilty escape. Civil cases do not attract so much public attention, but perhaps there is as great cause of complaint in the repeated trials, rendered necessary …

May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries If So Under What Circumstances, Thomas H. Shastid

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. That question being answered; and in the affirmative, it is next necessary to consider the various circumstances under which such power may be exercised. 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 …

May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries? If So, Under What Circumstances?, Thomas H. Shastid

Michigan Law Review

It is everywhere admitted that, with certain restrictions, the plaintiff in a personal injury suit may, if he so choose, exhibit his injuries-either, in proper cases, directly to the jury; or, in other instances, indirectly, to physicians, who are afterwards to go upon the stand. But what about cases where the plaintiff does not so choose ? What if, when the defendant, or the court itself , suggests that the plaintiff undergo a physical personal inspection, he objects? May the plaintiff , then, when he does so object, be compelled, against his will, to undergo the examination ? Further, in …

The Law Of Dramatic Copyright, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Literary Property at Common Law.--There have been few legal questions so generally and so fully discussed-as that relating to the property of authors in their. writings. Up to 1769, it was generally conceded that authors enjoyed, by virtue of the common law, a perpetual copyright, and copyrights were sold and made the basis of family settlements. In 1769, the great case of Millar v. Taylor, was decided. An action had been brought in 1766 to recover ior the piracy of "Thomson's Seasons," and it was held by a majority of the judges, Lord Mansfield, Mr. Justice Aston and Mr. Justice …
