Cases On Guaranty And Suretyship, Robert E. Bunker

Books

The cases appearing in this volume have been selected for use in connection with the lecture on Suretyship given in the Law Department of the University of Michigan. Barring omission of irrelevant matter in some instances and of the briefs and arguments of counsel in all instances, the cases appear in this volume as they appear in the reports themselves. Uniformity in spelling and punctuation has not been attempted or thought desirable. In regard to these matters, the report have been followed, except in cases of manifest error.

The purpose has been to put into the hand of the student …

Preferences Arising From Trust Relations, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

Where property has once been impressed with a trust, the quality inheres therein and in the proceeds thereof so long as the trust relation continues, provided the rights of a bonafide purchaser for value and without notice do not intervene and identification remain possible. The trust impress, in the absence of a superior equity, at once places property in the preferred class. In equity, trust property belongs to the cesiui que trust, and his claim to it cannot be defeated by the insolvency or dishonesty of the trustee, if it constitutes, in an identifiable form, a part of the trustee's …

Authority Of Allen V. Flood, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

In the case of Allen v. Flood, one of the Lords asked this interesting question, "If the cook says to her master, 'Discharge the butler or I leave you,' and the master discharges the butler, does the butler have an action against the cook?"' This, Lord Shand said, was the simplest form in which the very question in Allen v. Flood could be raised.

Authority Of Allen V. Flood, Horace Lafayette Wilgus

Articles

In the case of Allen v. Flood, one of the Lords asked this interesting question, "If the cook says to her master, 'Discharge the butler or I leave you,' and the master discharges the butler, does the butler have an action against the cook?" This, Lord Shand said, was the simplest form in which the very question in Allen v. Flood could be raised.4 And, like the original question, it puzzled the judges and Lords very much to answer.

Eligibility To Office--As Of What Time Determined, Floyd R. Mechem

Articles

Eligibility to office under our political system cannot be regarded as a natural right, and some rules or regulations are therefore obviously indispensable to determine what shall be the qualifications which shall be deemed necessary or sufficient. These rules are usually express and written ones, though in a few cases they have been deduced by inference from considerations of policy or propriety

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 activity. It furnishes the means by which the range of individual and corporate activity is enormously increased. One person may thus have many an alter ego. A single brain may direct a hundred hands. The modern business man may be constructively present in many places and carry on diverse and widely separated industries at the same time.

The following pages have been printed to accompany the writer’s …

A Treatise On The Law Of Sale Of Personal Property, Volume Ii, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

When this task was undertaken the writer believed that there was a real need for an American book upon the law of Sale. In the long time that he bas been at work, various contributions to the subject have been made by others, so that it is possible that the need, if it ever existed, has long since been supplied. The writer, however, whether wisely or unwisely, has persisted in his undertaking, and if bis work shall prove to have a value in some degree commensurate with the labor spent upon it, he will be content.

Requirements Of A Legal Education, Bradley M. Thompson

Other Publications

The sentiment which has been assigned to me and to which, in a Pickwickian sense, I am to respond, covers the whole field of a lawyer's professional education. It is a subject of special interest to the bar, and of much importance, indeed, to all, for the bar furnishes from its ranks all the members of the judicial department, one of the three co-ordinate departments of the government, whether state or national. And since every member of the bar is a member of the court before whom he practices, we constitute, at least, one third of the government. And if …

The Consent Of The Governed, Bradley M. Thompson

Articles

The acquisition of the Philippine Islands has aroused a profound interest in certain constitutional questions. This is not to be deplored. One of those questions is the meaning, the force and effect of the statement in the Declaration of Independence that "all governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed." That doctrine is not embodied in the constitution in those words nor in words of similar import, but some contend that the Declaration of Independence is a great beacon fire kindled by the fathers of the revolution and that in its light the constitution, afterwards adopted by …

Elements Of The Law Of Partnership, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

Several years ago the writer printed for the use of his class a brief course of lectures on Partnership. A wider demand for them having sprung up, they have been revised and reprinted in the hope that they may be useful to students elsewhere. They pretend to be nothing more than the mere elements of the subject, and the endeavor has been to keep them in small compass. The citation of authorities has been purposely limited to the leading and most readily accessible cases, and those cited have been selected rather as illustrations of the text than as authorities for …

The Professional School As A Factor In University Education, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The past twenty-five years have witnessed many radical changes in professional education. Here, quite as much as in other fields of learning, the old has given place to the new. This is particularly true of legal and medical education. In these departments the changes have been chiefly in the direction of more scientific methods and greater thoroughness. In the United States, until within a comparatively recent period, professional education in law and medicine was very largely obtained through an apprenticeship in the office of the practitioner. It is true that under the old regime, the medical student, if he aspired …

Elements Of The Law Of Negotiable Contracts, Elias Finley Johnson

Books

“The cases here collected and annotated, have been selected by the undersigned, primarily for the use of students in his classes. To make a wise selection of cases from the large number that are to be found upon a particular subject is a most difficult task … It has been attempted here to select, as far as possible, the very earliest cases upon the particular subject, so that the student would thereby be able to get at the reason of the rule without reference to any statutory provisions. Attention is called to the latest cases, however, in the foot notes.” …

Cases On The Law Of Damages, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

The following selection of cases in the law of Damages has been made primarily for use in connection with the lectures upon that subject given in the Law Department of the University of Michigan. The purpose has been partly to supply illustrations of the application of principles referred to in the lectures, and partly to supplement the lectures by rounding out the view of certain fields not otherwise completely developed.

Arbitrary, but inexorable, considerations of size and price have determined the scope of the selection; and, for reasons perhaps suficiently obvious, preference has been given, when pqssible, to cases which …
