The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
The Late Ashley Pond, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
On January 12th last, Ashley Pond died at his home in Detroit in his eighty-third year. By his death the University has lost one of its oldest and most distinguished alumni. Mr. Pond was graduated from the Literary Department in 1854. After studying law for a little over two years, he was admitted to the Detroit Bar. At that Bar he continued to practice for about half a century, and when he died was its senior member. Mr. Pond's career is an example to every lawyer and an encouragement to every young man of humble origin and narrow means. When …
An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
An Experiment In Equalization, And Its Result, William Carpenter
Michigan Law Review
The legislature of the State of Michigan at its latest session, attempted to provide a remedy for the injustice often occasioned by the boards of supervisors in equalizing the assessment rolls of the several townships, wards and cities of their respective counties. For that purpose it passed Act No.292 of the laws of 19O9 amending secs. 34 and 37 of the general tax law. The act provides that any supervisor of any township or city who considers his township or city aggrieved by the action of the board of which he is a member, in equalizing the valuation of the …

Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Some Leading Principles Of Chinese Law, Gustavus Ohlinger
Michigan Law Review
It has frequently been remarked that of all nations, China approaches most nearly the Jeffersonian ideal in being the least governed. To a greater extent than any other people, the Chinese manage their own affairs. The usages of trade are defined by the various commercial guilds-organizations which have acquired a prestige and influence without parallel in any other country. Commercial disputes are submitted to these bodies and by them are settled promptly, finally, and usually satisfactorily. Matters of currency and exchange are determined by the powerful bankers' guild. Physicians, fortune-tellers, geomancers and even mendicants, have their organizations through which the …

Uniformity Of Commercial Law On The American Continent, Roscoe Pound
Uniformity Of Commercial Law On The American Continent, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
Anglo-American, lawyers are not, as a rule, believers in codification. Hence, as legislation is the only agency through which in practice a uniform commercial law for the American continent may be looked for, you might, with some degree of reason, anticipate that I should be opposed to such a project. I may say, however, that I do not, at all share the orthodox common-law antipathy toward legislation and codification. I have no doubt that a legislative restatement of the law and a juridical new start upon the basis of such a restatement are inevitable in English-speaking countries for the same …
The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park
The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park
Michigan Law Review
The lawyer has two characters. He is a private personage, and as such cares for his family, contributes to the local improvement and philanthropies and conducts the common business affairs of his clients. He is also a public functionary and as such his usefulness is not confined to appearance in court and the conduct of litigation. From him must be had the counsel necessary in public movements, his brain must plan and his hand write the rules necessary to make right and wrong govern modem conditions. His must be the thought which shall stir the people to action. In him …

Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller
Michigan Law Review
There are probably few questions of greater interest, both present and future, than those which concern the relations between corporations performing the so-called public services on the one hand, and their immediate patrons and the general public on the other. These questions relate to the quality and safety of the services rendered, to the rights of all members of the public to receive service without discrimination, and to the charges which may be exacted for those services. To a great extent they involve matters of public policy and economics, rather than those which are strictly legal in nature, while even …

The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Illinois Ten-Hour Labor Law For Women, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
There are few cases before the American courts today which are of more significance than that which has recently been brought in the Illinois courts by William E. Ritchie of Chicago and which seeks "to enjoin the prosecuting officers of the state from enforcing the provisions of the so-called Women's' Ten-Hour Labor Law. The case of course involves the somewhat mooted question as to whether the remedy in such cases, if remedy there be at all, is by injunction, or whether the slower and more unsatisfactory procedure of a writ of error is not technically demanded, but this question is …

The Supreme Court And The Fourteenth Amendment, Edward S. Corwin
The Supreme Court And The Fourteenth Amendment, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
It was formerly the wont of legal writers to regard court decisions in much the same way as the mathematician regards the x of an algebraic equation: given the facts of the case and the existing law, the outcome was inevitable. This unhistorical standpoint has now been largely abandoned. Not only is it admitted that judges in finding the law act not as automata, as mere adding machines, but creatively, but also that the considerations which determine their decisions, far from resting exclusively upon a narrowly syllogistic basis, often repose very immediately upon concrete and vital notions of what is …
The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Anthracite Coal Industry And The Busness Affected With A Public Interest, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
The constitutions, state and federal, do not anywhere guarantee any absolute property rights nor right to liberty. The guarantee is merely that no person shall be deprived of life, liberty and property without due process of law. The right to liberty and property was never absolute under the English law, and the American constitutions have never been construed as going further than guaranteeing the continuance of the rights which existed at the time of their adoption.
