The New York Employers' Liability Act, Andrew Alexander Bruce Jun 1911

The New York Employers' Liability Act, Andrew Alexander Bruce

Michigan Law Review

In the recent case of Ives v. South Buffalo Railway Company the New York Court of Appeals annulled upon constitutional grounds, the so-called Wainwright Workmen's Compensation Law which sought to impose upon employers in certain specified extra-hazardous occupations a limited liability in cases of injuries to their employees regardless of the fact as to whether the negligence of the latter might have contributed to the injury or whether the risk had been well understood and assumed. The act did not abolish or modify the common law liability of the employer in cases where contributory negligence or assumption of risk could …

The State's Power Over Foreign Corporations, Harold M. Bowman May 1911

The State's Power Over Foreign Corporations, Harold M. Bowman

Michigan Law Review

This paper is devoted to a consideration of certain phases of our constitutional law governing the authority of the states over foreign corporations as that authority developed between the end of the fourth decade of the last century and the end of the first decade of this, and as it has been altered by a remarkable group of decisions rendered by the Supreme Court of the United States only about a year ago. The subject is one which concerns the frame of our institutions, for the final view which the Court shall take upon the questions involved in this matter …

Public Regulation Of Water Power In The United States And Europe, John A. Fairlie Apr 1911

Public Regulation Of Water Power In The United States And Europe, John A. Fairlie

Michigan Law Review

The law of water rights in the United States has been for the most part regulated by the several states, subject, however, to the power of Congress to regulate interstate and foreign commerce, (which includes the control of navigation and of navigable streams in the interest of commerce) and to the control of the United States over waters on public lands and rivers on the international boundaries. The laws of the several states show considerable variation; but in respect to the use of water power, they have until within a few years been based mainly on the protection of private …

The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson Mar 1911

The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson

Michigan Law Review

Inasmuch as this paper is to deal with the judicial reforms of the reign of Henry II, and more particularly with the extension of the jurisdiction of the king's court during that period, we must at the outset, for the purpose of comparison, make a brief study of the courts, their jurisdiction, and their methods of procedure at the close of Saxon and the beginning of Norman times. Mention should first be made of the courts of the hundred and of the shire, for it was in these public local courts, particularly in the former, that in early times justice …

The Gibbons V. Ogden Fetish, Fred'k H. Cooke Feb 1911

The Gibbons V. Ogden Fetish, Fred'k H. Cooke

Michigan Law Review

It was, we believe, Huxley who once said something to the effect that, as soon as one becomes an authority in science, he becomes a nuisance. In many a field of human activity, we find illustrations of the influence of a great name in retarding the progress of thought. Cuvier and Agassiz furnish notable instances in the realm of natural science. For centuries the great authority of Galen operated to paralyze progress in medicine. Still better known are instances of supposedly infallible individuals, or organizations, or writings, in retarding progress in theology. The same influence has notoriously operated in jurisprudence. …


The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin Feb 1911

The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin

Michigan Law Review

In tracing the establishment of judicial review subsequently to the inauguration of the national government it will be important to bear in mind that there are two distinct kinds of judicial review, namely, federal judicial review, or the power of the federal courts to review acts of the State legislatures under the United States Constitution, and Judicial review proper; or the power of the courts to pass upon the constitutionality of acts of the coordinate legislatures. That the Judiciary Act of 1789 contemplated, in the mind of its author, Ellsworth, the exercise of the power of review by the national …


The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross Feb 1911

The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross

Michigan Law Review

There are not more than one hundred and forty practicing English lawyers in the whole Province but they practically all read French and the greater number speak French sufficiently well to conduct business or examine a witness in Court. Lawyers from the other Provinces seldom seek admission to the Quebec Bar unless they are prepared to specialize in some branch of law in which they have gained a national reputation, or enter some established firm. Lawyers of other Provinces seeking to become members of the Quebec Bar are asked to pass an oral examination on the Statute Law of the …

Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (Ii), Floyd R. Mechem Jan 1911

Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (Ii), Floyd R. Mechem

Michigan Law Review

Returning now to the general question of the master's liability for malicious acts in cases not affected by any such special considerations as those which have just been considered, it may be premised, as has been already stated, that the tendency of the modem cases is undeniably to attach less importance to the motive with which the act was done and to give more attention to the question whether or not it can be deemed to fall within the scope of the servant's employment.


Charter Contracts And The Regulation Of Rates, Charles G. Fenwick Jan 1911

Charter Contracts And The Regulation Of Rates, Charles G. Fenwick

Michigan Law Review

Considering how well-established the doctrine has been for over eighty years that the charters of public service corporations are to be construed strictly in favor of the state when a dispute arises as to the extent of their powers, it may be a matter of surprise on first consideration that there should have been such a large body of litigation over the construction of these charters. Why were they not worded in unequivocal terms? Or have the courts, in the desire of protecting the state, done violence to the plain intent of words? Eliminating such charters as have been deliberately …
