Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle

Michigan Law Review

The convention system of nominating candidates for public office is, in a great degree, peculiar to the United States. England has in recent years borrowed in part our caucus, but as late as 1893, a writer in the American Law Regisieri says: "A nomination is made in the British dominions by a paper filed by one person and one or a very few seconders." Nor have we always had the convention system here. The first national nominating convention was held in Baltimore, by the anti- Masonic party, on September 26, 1831.

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 …

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 …

Privileges And Immunities Of Citizens In The Several States. Ii., W. J. Meyers

Michigan Law Review

Turning now to the Posilive side of the question, the cases show that the "privileges and immunities of citizens of a state" do include:- 1. The rizght of free ingress and egress. Dicta to this effect are found in almost every case in which the equal privileges clause" of the constitution is discussed, beginning with Corfield v. Coryell,I and coming down to and including Blake v. McClung,' the last great case upon the clause in question.3 The only case directly in point seems to be Smith v. Moody., Smith was a negro, born free within the state of Ohio, and …

Rights Of Employer And Employee To Inventions Made By Either During The Relationship, Dwight B. Cheever

Michigan Law Review

The interesting and difficult question not infrequently arises, what are the respective rights of employer and employee to inventions made by either during the continuance of the relation. While the constantly occurring cases are almost always complicated by special and peculiar facts which must modify to a greater or less extent the decision to be reached in the particular case, it is believed that the following review of the controlling principles and leading cases on the subiect will be of assistance. Since the courts have repeatedly said that "no one is-antitled to a patent for that which he did not …

Lone Wolf V. Hitchcock, United States Supreme Court

US Government Documents Related to Indigenous Nations

This United States (US) Supreme Court case, argued on October 23, 1902 and decided on January 5, 1903, held that the US Congress does have the right to pass legislation that changes the terms of tribal treaties without the necessary consent of the tribes with whom the treaties were made. The petitioner in this case, Lone Wolf (representing members of the Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache tribes) appealed a decision from the court of appeals from the District of Columbia. The petitioner claimed that the Medicine Lodge treaty of 1867 with the Kiowa and Comanche tribes was violated when Congress passed …

Outlines Of The Law Of Agency, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

The subject of Agency belongs to a comparatively recent period in our law … Agency belongs distinctively to a commercial age, and its growth has kept pace with the progress of commercial development. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. As soon as it is conceded that one man may be represented by another in business transactions, and that he may have as many such representatives as occasion may require, the field of commercial activity is immensely widened. The modern business man may thus be constructively present in many places and …

Torrens Acts': Some Comparisons, James H. Brewster

Articles

The widespread discussion during the last ten years of the general scheme of registration of title to land, popularly known as the "Torrens System," has served to satisfy most disinterested lawyers and laymen of the general merits of the system. Consideration of the matter has been confined to no one section of the country, but has extended from Maine to California, and from Oregon to Texas. The result has been that laws embodying the general principles of the system have been enacted in six states, and proposed laws are before the legislatures of several others. The fact, however, that some …
