Section 4 Of The Bankruptcy Act: The Excluded Corporations, Michael I. Sovern Jan 1957

Section 4 Of The Bankruptcy Act: The Excluded Corporations, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

Section 4 of the Bankruptcy Act excludes from both voluntary and involuntary bankruptcy municipal, railroad, insurance and banking corporations and building and loan associations, and excludes from involuntary bankruptcy corporations that are not "moneyed, business or commercial."

"Public Policy" In The Conflict Of Laws, Monrad G. Paulsen, Michael I. Sovern Jan 1956

"Public Policy" In The Conflict Of Laws, Monrad G. Paulsen, Michael I. Sovern

Faculty Scholarship

In deciding a conflict of laws question, a judge will sometimes say, "The foreign law ordinarily applicable will not be applied in this case because to do so would violate our public policy." The textwriters, language in the cases, and the Restatement agree: the "normal" operation of choice of law rules is subject to a "public policy" limitation. This paper is an attempt to explore the meanings and significance of "public policy," used in this general way, in the conflict of laws.
