Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates

Articles

That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …

The Registration Of Land Titles, John R. Rood

Articles

It is proposed in this paper to consider some of the advantages and disadvantages of the older system of no registration, the later system of registering the instruments of conveyance, and the latest system of making the title depend entirely on a recorded adjudication that it is thus and so, which absolutely displaces all former titles, adjudicated or otherwise. It is also proposed to consider some of the reasons why the older systems persist.

Legislating The Incumbent Out Of Office, W. Gordon Stoner

Articles

Under the English common law the officer's right or interest in the office which he held was regarded as a property right, an incorporeal hereditament.1 Largely because of the inherent difference between the nature and incidents of the public office at common law and those of the public office in this country, this conception never gained general acceptance here.2 In a few cases,3 and particularly in the decisions of the courts of North Carolina,4 offices have been asserted to be the property of the rightful incumbent. In these decisions the officer's right has been regarded as less absolute, perhaps, than …

Corporations And Express Trusts As Business Organizations, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

PRESIDENT BUTLER of Columbia University is reported to have said in an address before the New York Chamber of Commerce in 1911, that "the limited liability corporation is the greatest single discovery of modem times, whether you judge it by its social, by its ethical, by its industrial, or, in the long run--after we understand it and know how to use it,--by its political, effects." 1

Interstate Commerce And State Control Over Foreign Corporations, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

Since Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Pet. 519, there seems to have been no real occasion to doubt the power of a state totally to exclude foreign corporations seeking to engage in intrastate business only. The power to exclude being absolute, there has been no question as to the right of the state to allow the entrance of the foreign corporation for such business upon terms, and the terms may be of any sort, reasonable or unreasonable, except that the corporation seeking to enter cannot as a condition precedent to such entry be required to surrender a right or …

The Right To Divert Water To Non-Riparian Land, Ralph W. Aigler

Articles

Though at one time in England there may have been some doubt as to the character of a riparian owner's rights in the waters of the stream, it must be considered as definitely settled by a series of cases that the doctrine of reasonable use by all the proprietors on the stream is the rule of the common law, and that the matter of priority of use or appropriation is, under that system, immaterial, unless, of course, a question of prescriptive right is involved. Wright v. Howard, 1 Sim. & S. 190; Mason v. Hill, 3 B. & Ad. 304, …

Some Recent Developments In The Department Of Law, Henry M. Bates

Articles

The present continues to be a period of rapid and interesting development in legal education. The criticisms to which the law and its administration by courts and lawyers have been subjected during the last few years very naturally and properly has led to a careful reconsideration of existing methods of legal instruction in the hope that they might perhaps be improved. The truth is that scientific legal education, comparatively speaking, is still in its infancy both in England and in the United States. Instruction in law of the dogmatic and supposedly purely practical kind has long been carried on efficiently …

Can Affidavits Of Jurors To Show Misconduct Be Admitted For The Purpose Of Setting Aside A 'Quotient Verdict'?, Grover C. Grismore

Articles

A recent Oklahoma case raises one phase of a question which has been perplexing the courts ever since jury trials were invented, and in regard to which there is a great contrariety of opinion. After a verdict had been rendered for the plaintiff in a personal injury suit, the defendant made a motion for a new trial on the ground of misconduct of the jury, and in support of his motion offered the affidavits of several of the jurors to the effect that the verdict was determined upon as the result of an agreement whereby each one of the jurors …

Jurisprudence: A Formal Science, Joseph H. Drake

Articles

Holland defines jurisprudence as "the formal science of positive law". The meaning of science is plain enough. A good many pages are devoted to the elucidation of the words "positive" and "law," but the term "formal" he explains only by analogy. As there is a formal science of grammar to which belongs, for example, the concept of possession, which has its material manifestation in Latin grammar in a genetive termination and in English grammar in the preposition "of," so there is a formal science of law, material manifestations of whose fundamental principles are found in various systems of actual legal …

Editorial Preface To This Volume, Joseph H. Drake

Other Publications

In his editorial preface to Formal Bases of the Law, Professor Drake offers a detailed summary of Del Vecchio’s historical survey of the philosophy of law. Drake reiterates that “the struggle for better definition of law has resulted in continually widening the practical application of law. In like manner it may be shown that the constant broadening of the metaphysical bases of law has been accompanied by improvements in its practice, and to this purpose we may well address ourselves.” From Aristotle to Grotius, to neo-Kantians and neo-Hegelians… “Law is neither force simply nor growth simply, but law is right …

Teaching Of Practice And Procedure In Law Schools, Edson R. Sunderland

Michigan Law Review

Criticism of the law, the courts, and the legal profession is one of the popular customs of the day. So constantly and so insistently are we told of the shortcomings of the Bench and Bar that it is hard to hold one's footing against the sweep of the current. One might well suppose from all the clamor that the ancient respectability of the law had suddenly been discovered to be a monstrous pretense, a fraud on the innocence and trustfulness of the people, a cloak for injustice and a mask for oppression.

If The Lines Of A Junior Lode Location Be Laid Across The Surface Of A Valid Senior Location Will The Junior Location Acquire Extralateral Rights Based On A Portion Of The Vein Which Is Included Within The Senior Location As Against Another Earlier Location Covering The Dip Of The Vein, Myron A. Folsom

Michigan Law Review

It was decided in Del. Monte M. & M. Co. v. Last Chance M. & M. Co.,: that the lines of a junior lode location may be laid upon the surface of a valid senior location (if done openly and peaceably), for the purpose of securing extralateral rights on the dip of a vein the apex of which is within the second and outside of the first. But the court declined to decide whether the junior locator would acquire any extralateral rights based upon a portion of the apex covered by the senior location, saying "Perhaps the rights of the …

On Uniformity In Judical Decisions Of Cases Arising Under The Uniform Negotiable Instruments Act, Amasa M. Eaton

Michigan Law Review

When the American Bar Association was formed in 1878, the first object stated in the call was "to assimilate the laws of the different states," and the first article of the Constitution stated that one of the principal objects of the Association was "to advance the science of jurisprudence, to promote the administration of justice and uniformity of legislation throughout the Union."

Debt Of The Modern Law Of Guardianship To Roman Law, Charles P. Sherman

Michigan Law Review

The Roman law of guardianship grew out of the family organization. It is also quite closely connected with the law of inheritance. The power of a guardian is that form of family power which ordinarily takes the place of paternal power when there is no one to exercise the latter. It was originally at Rome but an extension of the paternal power. In this respect the conception of guardianship is different in English law -- English guardianship rests on the principle of protecting the bodily and mental immaturity of youth.

Note And Comment, Gordon Stoner, Grover C. Grismore, Stanley E. Gifford, Stuart S. Wall

Michigan Law Review

What is a Public Purpose Justifying the Expenditure Therefore of Money Raised From Taxation - A recent Ohio case raises a question which is frequently discussed in connection with the activities of cities, i. e., 'what is a municipal or public purpose for the accomplishment of which city funds raised from taxation may be expended. The council of the city of Toledo passed an ordinance authorizing the expenditure of $1000 for the purpose of establishing a municipal moving-picture theater. The auditor refused to pay over to the director of public service the fund thus appropriated and mandamus was sought by …
