Bill For The Nationalization Of Railroads, William W. Cook Nov 1915

Bill For The Nationalization Of Railroads, William W. Cook

Michigan Law Review

The great Mississippi Valley from the Alleghanies to the Rockies and from the Lakes to the Gulf dominates the Federal Government. It sends 231 of the 435 Representatives and 48 of the 96 Senators to Congress. In its confines are 24 of the 48 states. It has an area of over a billion acres of land-over one-half of the United States. It has fifty million people-over one-half of the nation. Some day it will have two hundred and fifty million. It contains a new race of men-fused of many nations-strong, enduring, resilient.' To it and the South, as Elihu Root …

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham Jun 1915

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

To impress these unfamiliar facts on our consciousness, so that we shall not lose sight of them during the rest of our discussion, so that we shall not slur them or cloud them by vague use of symbolic ideas or terms concerning property and title, let us repeat the essence of the legal situation. Jackson is the holder of a fee simple acquired tortiously. His title to that fee--i. e. the facts which would induce the courts upon occasion to give him the remedies "vindicating" the existence of this vested fee in him--consist in his actual exclusive use and control …

Powers Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann Jun 1915

Powers Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann

Michigan Law Review

Religious corporations in the United States have assumed various shapes. The original two forms, (corporation sole and territorial parish) being unsuited to our conditions, have completely passed away. In their stead have grown up four other classes, the aggregate corporation, the trustee corporation, the modern form of the corporation sole, and the Roman Catholic Church in our insular possessions. These four kinds of corporations, however diverse they may be in their history and otherwise, have a number of important qualities in common. None of them are ecclesiastical corporations in the European sense of the word. All of them owe their …

The Completion of a Contract by Posting of Acceptance - In the recent case of Kennedy Mcrcantile Co. v. Western Union Telegraph Co., the court says, "It is well settled law in this state that,where an offer is submitted by letter, an acceptance is conclusive and binding when a letter is deposited in the post-office accepting the same. The delivery to the one making the offer is not the test; for when the offer is submitted in that way it is equivalent to an invitation to accept by the same means, and when the acceptance is delivered to the agency …

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham May 1915

Nature And Importance Of Legal Possession, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

The careful student of our law of property needs no demonstration of the importance of legal possession. From before the date of the earliest year book the word possession and its synonym seisin have pervaded legal language and have signified matters of great consequence in the decision of cases. "In the history of our law," say Pollock and Maitland, "there is no idea more cardinal than that of seisin. Even in the law of the present day it plays a part which must be studied by every lawyer; but in the past it was so important that we may almost …

Classes Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann May 1915

Classes Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollmann

Michigan Law Review

The right of churches to incorporate has been universally conceded in the United States, except in Virginia and West Virginia, under whose constitutions the legislature is forbidden to grant any "charter of incorporation" to "any church or 'religious denomination."' Nor is such concession a recent one. Churches have exercised corporate rights from. the earliest period of the American law. The forms under which this has been done, however, have been quite dissimilar. Five distinct classes of corporations are discernible, the first of which is entirely extinct, the second survives only in an altered form, the third is limited in area, …

Some Sociological Aspects Of Criminal Law, Harriette M. Dilla May 1915

Some Sociological Aspects Of Criminal Law, Harriette M. Dilla

Michigan Law Review

There is a vast need for something that will sometime be written upon the subject of Sociology as a basis of Criminal Law and Procedure. The science of what may be termed Sociological Jurisprudence is in an embryonic state at present and the nearest approach perhaps is what we call Criminal Sociology or Criminology. The progress of this study has been rapid but we may still hope for .a more general application of principle! to practice. It is true that readjustment in law is more difficult than in other fields, as necessary formalities of procedure often seem to impose unreasonable …

Limitation as to the Amount of Liability for Loss of Goods by Carriers - A carload of automobiles was shipped by express, under an express receipt limiting recovery to $50, unless a greater value was named and a greater carrying charge paid. The shipper knew of this stipulation, and deliberately chose the restricted liability so as -to secure the lower rate. On a suit for loss of the automobiles, recovery was limited to $5o. Geo. N. Pierce Co. v. Wells Fargo & Co., I89 Fed. 561, commented on in 10 MICH. L. RSv. 317. The United States Supreme Court has …

Year Book Of Richard Ii, John M. Zane Apr 1915

Year Book Of Richard Ii, John M. Zane

Michigan Law Review

The Publication of a year book in this country is an event for our legal scholarship. The trustees of the Ames Foundation in a spirit that is Worthy of the great legal scholar in whose honor the foundation was instituted, have made the publication possible, but it is to be inferred from the Introduction by the Editor that the book was not prepared at their instance. He tells us that he has had, for correcting various inaccuracies, the assistance of certain members of the Harvard law faculty, but it is not to be supposed that they have given a critical …

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion Apr 1915

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

The case of Belgium presents an entirely different aspect both from the legal and the political point of view. While the guarantee of the neutrality of Luxemburg interests---or interested at the time of the signature of the Treaty of 1867 -- France and Prussia only, and the other contracting parties (and particularly Great Britain) acceded to it, to use the "'reluctantly," words of Lord Stanley, that of Belgium had and has an entirely different character so far as England is concerned. It affects her vital interests, namely, her own security. Hence the difference in the wording of the instrument guaranteeing …

Conveyancing In The Province Of Quebec, Howard S. Ross Apr 1915

Conveyancing In The Province Of Quebec, Howard S. Ross

Michigan Law Review

A solicitor who has had experience as a conveyancer in any of the other Canadian provinces is at first disappointed when he finds on coming to Quebec to practice that in Quebec the bulk of the conveyancing is done by Notaries who, as is well known, belong to a distinct profession founded on the French Notarial system. An Advocate may not be a Notary or a Notary an Advocate, at one and the same time. In a few cases young men take the examinations and qualify as Advocates and Notaries and then elect. Occasionally after practicing a number of years …

Michigan Law Review

Legislative Power to Restrict Freedom of Labor Contracts -The struggle between the police power of the legislature and the nineteenth century idea of due process of law continues unremittingly. That increasing social necessities and a more comprehensive and perfect conception of justice have resulted in recent years in restricting the "due process" clauses in federal and state constitutions to their historically and logically more correct meaning and scope there can be no doubt. Scores, if not hundreds, of decisions by our courts and conspicuously those of the United States Supreme Court have shown complete recognition of the fact that the …

International Status Of The Grand Duchy Of Luxemburg And The Kingdom Of Belgium In Relation To The Present European War, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

The International status of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg and J-of the Kingdom of Belgium, through whose territory the army of Kaiser William II marched, in order, to use the expression of Grotius, "to meet the enemy," has been, since the outbreak of the present European war, the crucial point of discussion between the diplomatists and publicists of the belligerents, each trying to impress upon the neutral public the justice of the cause of their country.

Michigan Law Review

Revocability of Licenses - The Rule of Wood v. Leadbitter - That a mere license purporting to create in the licensee a new right or privilege is revocable at law at the will of the licensor seems to have been definitely settled in England by Wood v. Leadbitter. It was there held that the plaintiff who had entered the close of the defendant's master after the purchase of a proper ticket could be -forcibly ousted, notice having been first given that he should leave. The only remedy open to the ousted ticket holder-in law at least-no excessive violence having been …

Liability To Third Persons Of Associates In Defectively Incorporated Associations, Joseph L. Lewinsohn Feb 1915

Liability To Third Persons Of Associates In Defectively Incorporated Associations, Joseph L. Lewinsohn

Michigan Law Review

The principles underlying the obligations to third persons of the members of defectively incorporated associations, are few and not difficult of apprehension. Yet there is hardly a topic in the law of private corporations upon which the views of both courts and theoretical writers dre in more disagreement. This disagreement is concerned largely with three questions, namely: What is the basis and scope of the doctrine of de facto corporations? Are persons dealing with the associates on a corporate basis estopped to deny the corporate character of the association? Are the associates ipso facto liable as partners? Upon all of …

Note And Comment, Hollis Harshman

Michigan Law Review

Breach of Landlord's Covenant as Defense to Action for Rent - It is undoubtedly well settled that if the agreement to pay rent is dependent upon the performance by the landlord of some undertaking on his part, the failure by the landlord so to perform is a good defense to an action for the rent. It is equally well settled that if the agreements are independent such failure by the landlord is no defense. The difficulty arises in determining whether the agreements are dependent or independent. That question is one of construction, and it cannot be expected that all the …

Michigan Law Review

The Proposed Michigan Judicature Act. The Michigan Legislature, at its last session, passed an act (No. 286, Public Acts of 1913) providing for the appointment of a Commission to revise and consolidate the laws of the State relating to procedure. The Governor appointed Alva M. Cummins, J. Clyde Watt, and Mark W. Stevens as members of this commission, and, the result of their labors has just appeared in the form of a proposed bill regulating the entire subject of procedure in all the courts of the State. The bill is a long one, embracing 565 printed pages, but it is …
