Law As A Culture Study, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1906

Law As A Culture Study, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

That acute observer and commentator on American institutions, James Bryce, in an oft-quoted statement in his American Commonwealth, pays a high tribute to the efficiency of American law schools. "I do not know if there is anything," he writes, "in which America has advanced more beyond the mother country than in the provision she makes for legal education." In passing this generous judgment, in which many other eminent Englishmen have concurred, he views our law schools simply as institutions for developing technical proficiency among students destined to fill the ranks of the legal profession. And this is, indeed, the principal …

Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1906

Liability Of Water Companies For Fire Losses, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

In two recent articles published'in this Review, the question of the liability of water companies for fire losses was somewhat exhaustively discussed. The majority of the actions wherein it has been sought to hold water companies liable for fire losses suffered by private property owners, have been brought for breach of contract. In a few cases the theory adopted was that the water company owed a duty to all property owners, by reason of the public character of its service; and the fact that it was under contract with the city to furnish an adequate water supply and pressure for …

Some Observations On Case Law Reporting, John R. Rood Jan 1906

Some Observations On Case Law Reporting, John R. Rood

Articles

There is an old tradition, still believed by many lawyers, that these year-books were official reports made by a reporter appointed and paid by the king. If there ever was such a reporter, he is yet to be discovered. No year-books have been found in the treasury of the courts; there is no record of the appointment or payment of any official reporter, through all the two hundred and fifty years covered by the year-books; all the year-books now in the British Museum were found in private hands.2 Is it conceivable that an official reporter would criticize the court and …

The Cy-Pres Doctrine, Harry B. Hutchins Jan 1906

The Cy-Pres Doctrine, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The CY-Pres Doctrine.-The court of chancery of New Jersey in the recent case of Brow et al. v. Condit et al. (Sept. 30, 1905), 61 Atl. Rep. 1055, refused to apply this doctrine under the following circumstances: The will of one Susan M. Corson, bearing date July 7, 1897, disposed of her residuary estate "to the Hospital Fund for Sick Seamen at Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York, care of Mr. John M. Wood, chaplain." It appears that neither at the time of the making of the will nor at any time thereafter was there a fund in existence at or …

An Inroad Upon Fiduciary Integrity, Edson R. Sunderland Jan 1906

An Inroad Upon Fiduciary Integrity, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

It is a principle universally recognized throughout our system of law, that no person shall be permitted to occupy a position of trust and confidence who at the same time is clearly subject to influences hostile to a faithful performance of his trust. There is a rule as old as Christianity, and it has been incorporated into our law from the earliest times, that "no man shall serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will hold to the one and despise the other." Fiduciary relations can rest upon no foundation but …

Surgical Operation On Minor Without Consent Of Parent, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The case of Bakker v. Welsh et al., Io8 N. W. Rep. 94, recently decided by the Supreme Court of Michigan, is of interest, as it involves a question of special importance to the surgical practitioner and one upon which there seems to be a great dearth of authority.

Federal Regulation Of Quarantine, W. E. Walz Jan 1906

Federal Regulation Of Quarantine, W. E. Walz

Michigan Law Review

During the recent excitement in the South caused by the sudden appearance of yellow fever and the consequent recrudescence of the shotgun quarantine an event has happened that might well attract the attention of every thoughtful citizen of the United States: the surrender of a very essential part of the police power of the State of Louisiana to the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service of the Federal Government. made on the plea of absolute necessity and on the principle that self-preservation is nature's first law. The Governor of the State assumed full responsibility for this surrender, and he had, …

Liability For The Unauthorized Torts Of Agents, Wm. R. Vance Jan 1906

Liability For The Unauthorized Torts Of Agents, Wm. R. Vance

Michigan Law Review

No other part of the law of principal and agent is in such intolerable confusion as that which concerns the nature and extent of the liability of the principal for the tortious actions of the agent when done without either actual or apparent authority from the principal. There can be no question as to the liability of the principal for the agent's tort that has been actually authorized or ratified, nor should there be any difficulty in holding the principal liable for such unauthorized torts of his agent as were committed under circumstances that induce a reasonable belief on- the …

The Compensation Of Medical Witnesses, Harry B. Hutchins Jan 1906

The Compensation Of Medical Witnesses, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The power to compel testimony is inherent in every court, for without it justice could constantly be thwarted. Generally all persons may be compelled to give evidence that is relevant to the matter in controversy. If, therefore, a person who has been duly summoned as a witness at a particular trial absents himself therefrom, without just cause, or attending, refuses to give evidence or to answer questions when directed so to do by the court, he is liable to punishment for contempt.1 But there are limitations upon the general rule, some based upon principles of legal policy and some upon …

Constitutionality Of The Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law, Thomas A. Sims Dec 1905

Constitutionality Of The Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law, Thomas A. Sims

Michigan Law Review

The recent act of the Indiana General Assembly, known as the "Indiana Anti-Cigarette Law," is the third act of its kind to be passed by a state legislature. In 1896 the State of Iowa enacted a similar law, and the year following, Tennessee did the same. In the years intervening between these acts and the present act similar bills have been introduced in various legislatures over the country but none of them has passed. The passage of the act by the Indiana Assembly has, however, seemingly reawakened the sentiment in favor of such legislation, and in several of the states …

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers Dec 1905

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers

Michigan Law Review

In examining any question which pertains to the welfare of humanity there are two prominent view points from which to start. One is that of the individual being; the isolated man; the unit of society. The other is that of the mass of mankind; the people as a whole; the corporate organization of states and nations. There are those who believe in a God of nations. They believe He guides their destinies in perils of battle, and in great and dangerous emergencies; but they insist that He has little or nothing to do with the affairs of the individual. Conversely, …

Territorial Expansion Of The Common Law Ideal, John F. Simmons Nov 1905

Territorial Expansion Of The Common Law Ideal, John F. Simmons

Michigan Law Review

It is a truism to declare that we live in an age of evolution; but evolution is only growth and growth, however trite it may seem, is after all an ever-recurring miracle and a miracle implies the marvelous. Among the marvels which appear in the evolution of our times, none is more remarkable than the persistency of the expansion of the ideas and ideals of the Common Law. Before the dawn of history, the records which the tongues of mankind have kept, and which the persistency of certain tribal peculiarities has confirmed, teach us that the races which today dominate …

Consideration V Causa In Roman-American Law, Joseph H. Drake

Michigan Law Review

In the case of Mtembre v. Webster, decided recently (19o4) in the Supreme Court of Cape Colony, South Africa, the court (De VILLIERS, J.) says that the causa of Roman-Dutch Law* (oorsaak-German Ursache) has become for all practical purposes equivalent to the valuable consideration of the Common Law., The court says further, 'I can not find that in practice any gratuitous promises except donations-as to which there are especial rules were ever enforced by law.' Sir Frederick Pollock in commenting on this case says, "The power of the Common Law to impose its conceptions on foreign systems when opportunities occur …

Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James Nov 1905

Uniform State Laws Governing Negotiable Documents Of Title, Francis B. James

Michigan Law Review

Our forefathers, not foreseeing that the States would some day become one country for commercial purposes, failed to vest in Congress power to regulate all commerce, but limited that body to such as was interstate or foreign. An unexpected (and by many now believed erroneous) decision by the Supreme Court of the United States1 in 1869, that a contract between citizens of different states did not constitute interstate commerce, checked the growth of that unity of law so convenient in the development of industries, national in character. For one hundred years, from 1789, when the Constitution was adopted, to 1890, …

Mandamus Against A Governor, Edward J. Myers Jun 1905

Mandamus Against A Governor, Edward J. Myers

Michigan Law Review

The question whether the courts have the power to issue he writ of mandamus against the chief executive of a state to compel the performance of a duty imposed upon him by law, has been answered in two irreconcilable lines of decision-the one being that the Governor is not answerable to the writ to compel the performance of his duty, be it either discretionary or ministerial in its character, the other, that he is liable to the writ to compel the performance of duties purely ministerial in nature. Mr. High, in his work on Extraordinary Legal Remedies, says: "The jurisdiction …
