The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble Jun 1908

The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble

Michigan Law Review

The modern street is not a simple roadway, but a complicated three-story structure in the use of which the general public, the city government, the abutting property owner and the licensed corporation are interested. Not often are streets so limited in capacity as the one in Frankfort, Kentucky, which was so narrow that the passage of a railroad train would have all but filled it, a condition which led the court to enjoin the construction of a track, though duly authorized. Generally there is room for all, and the use of the streets has been granted with the greatest liberality. …

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick May 1908

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick

Michigan Law Review

At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

The Michigan Constitutional Convention, John A. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

A year ago the writer of this article outlined in the Michigan Law Review "Some Suggested Changes in the Constitution of Michigan," in view of the Constitutional Convention that had been called to revise the Constitution in force. Since that time the members of the convention have been elected; and after four months of earnest work, the results of its labors have been presented to the people of Michigan in the proposed revised Constitution, which will be submitted for their approval or disapproval at the general election in November of the present year. It is proposed in this article to …

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem May 1908

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

Purpose of this article--The manager of the execution of instruments under seal, such as deeds, bonds and other solemn writings, is of so much importance and has been so frequently discussed, as to merit the more extended treatment, which it is the purpose of this article to devote to it. The word "deed" herein is used to describe all it instruments under seal, and not merely conveyances of land. It is to be observed that the question here is not how authority to execute sealed instruments is to be conferred, but how such an authority is to be executed.

The Proposed Court Of Patent Appeals, Otto Raymond Barnett Apr 1908

The Proposed Court Of Patent Appeals, Otto Raymond Barnett

Michigan Law Review

Experience has demonstrated that nowhere was the foresight and wisdom of the framers of the Federal Constitution more clearly shown than when they embodied in that instrument the provision that to encourage progress in science and the useful arts, Congress should have authority to secure to writers and inventors for limited times, exclusive rights to their productions. When the Federal Constitution was drafted, the manufacturing industries of this country were insignificant. Since then the industrial progress of the United States has been one of the marvels of the world's history and this progress and the supremacy of American manufacturers have …

The Rights And Remedies On Permitting, Diverting, Increasing And Obstructing The Natural Flow, John R. Rood Apr 1908

The Rights And Remedies On Permitting, Diverting, Increasing And Obstructing The Natural Flow, John R. Rood

Michigan Law Review

It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, "without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …

Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent Apr 1908

Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent

Michigan Law Review

Legal ethics is a branch of general ethics. Some consideration of the latter is necessary to an understanding of the former. It is a fundamental fact that men generally, if not all sane men, distinguish certain courses of conduct as right and wrong; just as they say particular objects are beautiful and others ugly. They feel a duty to do some things and to refrain from others. If savages do not feel distinctly the sense of duty, at least they are indignant at certain conduct in their associates, and approve of other acts, on moral grounds. This sense of duty …

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 3, Theodore P. Ion Mar 1908

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 3, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

After having, in a summary manner, reviewed the historical connection existing between the Roman and Mohammedan laws, and examined the social condition of their respective people, we now come to our last theme, namely, the comparison of their laws proper, which will show their similarity in more than one point. This examination-which will be preceded by an explanation of jurisprudence in both systems and an attempt to show the likeness of their respective jurisconsults-will be limited to certain subjects of personal law and contracts, and concluded with a few observations on judicial organization.

May Congress Levy Money Exactions, Designated "Taxes," Solely For The Purpose Of Destruction?, John Barker Waite Feb 1908

May Congress Levy Money Exactions, Designated "Taxes," Solely For The Purpose Of Destruction?, John Barker Waite

Michigan Law Review

The questions of taxation have furnished a cause of warfare, armed or wordy, since the meaning of government has been known. The possibility of our Constitution was due, superficially, to the imposition of a tax; its adoption, in great measure, to the absence of a tax, to the lack of a taxing power in the Confederation. Since the adoption of the Constitution with its grant of a taxing power, much of our legislative disagreement has centered on the interpretation of that grant. The case of McCray v. United States, opens up a comparatively untrammeled field of dispute. The basis of …

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd Feb 1908

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd

Michigan Law Review

The second Hague Conference came to an end on October 18, 1907, after sitting for more than four months. In the popular mind the Conference has been dismissed as a failure. No sensational actions were taken, and the quiet and solid work of a group of international lawyers has had little attraction for the general public. It is, however, worth while to make a plain statement of what the Conference did and did not accomplish. The first Hague Conference in 1899 was essentially a peace conference. The question of partial disarmament was put at the head of the Russian program …

Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts Feb 1908

Is A Provision For The Initiative And Referendum Inconsistent With The Constitution Of The United States?, W. A. Coutts

Michigan Law Review

We are told today that the Constitution of the United States forbids the adoption of the Initiative and the Referendum, as these involve such purely democratic principles as to be inconsistent with the republican form of government guaranteed by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal Constitution. The special interests that are opposed to the Initiative tell us that we must find some other cure for the evils at which it aims; that the Initiative is a purely democratic principle and, as such, it is forbidden by the fourth section of the fourth article of the Federal …
