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

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 …

Comparison Of Some Methods Of Conciliation And Arbitration Of Industrial Disputes, James H. Brewster
Comparison Of Some Methods Of Conciliation And Arbitration Of Industrial Disputes, James H. Brewster
Michigan Law Review
In these times when we see combinations of employers co-operating under trade agreements with combinations of employees to conduct immense industries, we are apt to forget the remarkable development of ideas concerning industrial economy that has occurred within a life-time. It was only eighty years ago that the merchants of Boston met to discountenance and check what were then" regarded as unlawful combinations of workmen formed to protest against the long work day, low wages, and oppressive rules of their masters. The sum of $20,0oo was raised at this meeting of merchants and ship owners to fight the movement for …

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 …
New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge
New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge
Michigan Law Review
What has been said in the preceding part of this discussion addresses itself to the proposition that the SHERMAN Act does not mean what the District Court assumed it to mean. Naturally, such a negative discussion must be preliminary to a consideration of the more .comprehensive question "What does the SHERMAN ACT mean?" For, of course, even if the theory of the law upon which the District Court based its judgment was erroneous, still that fact would be of little or no practical importance if any tenable theory of the law were to justify the judgment.

The Use of Multiple in Determining the Value of Railroad Lands - The case of Chicago & N. W. Ry. Co. v. Smith et al., decided by the United States District Court for the District of South Dakota and reported in 21o Fed. 632, contains an interesting suggestion as to the means to be employed in determining the value of lands used for railway purposes, which 'Was not, however, accepted by the court.

Michigan Law Review
A Gentleman of an acquisitive nature was adventuring about a large city seeking what he might turn to quick profit. Contact with the so-called font of justice gave him an idea, following which he opened up a quiet brokerage business. Perceiving a demand for jurors who would decide a case favorably, to the side that was willing to pay a decent price, he set about supplying that demand. The trade mark on his goods was a pin stuck in the lapel of the coat in such" fashion that in the jury box they would Without ostentation be recognized by his …

Protection Of Aliens By The United States, Simeon E. Baldwin

Every country owes a duty of protection to aliens who are lawfully within its territory. "An alien friend, however transient his presence may be, is entitled to a temporary protection, and owes in return a temporary allegiance."

New Probation Law Of Michigan, Charles B. Collingwood
New Probation Law Of Michigan, Charles B. Collingwood
Michigan Law Review
Nothing connected with the work of a circuit judge demands more thoughtful consideration or occasions him more anxiety than the punishment to be meted out to the men and women who have violated the laws of the state. In almost every other matter there is an opportunity for review by an appellate court. Where litigants differ widely from the decision of the circuit court it is altogether likely that there will be an appeal and the matter will be finally adjudicated by another court. But from the sentence given to one who has plead guilty, or has been found guilty …

New Interpretation Of The Sherman Act, Clarence E. Eldridge
Michigan Law Review
Generally speaking, there never has been any serious disagreement as to the purpose of the SHERMAN ACT. Everyone -friends and foes, judges and economists, lawyers and laymen- admits that it was enacted with a view to foster competition, or, as Justice HARLAN put it in the Northern Securities case,' "to prescribe the rule of free competition."

Content Of Covenants In Leases, Harry A. Bigelow
Content Of Covenants In Leases, Harry A. Bigelow
Michigan Law Review
In determining what covenants in a lease will run so as to be enforceable by or against the assignee of the lessee or lessor, the formula that has been consecrated to this problem is that the covenant "must affect the nature, quality, or value of the thing demised or the mode of occupying it." This phrase which was used by Lord ELLENBOROUGH in Congleton v. Pattison is an expansion of the statement in Spencer's case that such a covenant must "touch or concern the thing demised." A second statement not so frequently quoted is that of that "if it be …
Expensive Futility Of The United States Trade Mark Statute, Edward S. Rogers
Expensive Futility Of The United States Trade Mark Statute, Edward S. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
Every lawyer of much experience knows the client who tip-toes into his office, closes the door carefully, and with a great show of secrecy announces that he has discovered or invented the best name for a soda cracker, a patent medicine, a soft drink, or what not, that human ingenuity ever conceived. He wants it protected before any one can steal it from him. He wants it "Copyrighted." This is the expression most commonly used. He seems to be under the impression that some incantation can be performed by means of which he will be able to secure to himself …

Lay Tradition As To The Lawyer, Roscoe Pound
Lay Tradition As To The Lawyer, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
We all know the lay tradition as to the lawyer. Mike Monaghan rhymes lawyer with trier. He tells us that the Probate Court is instituted to see that "iviry mimber of the bair gits a fair chanct at phwat the dicaysed didn't take wid 'im." In the timeworn anecdote of the epitaph "here lies an honest lawyer" everyone is ready to say, "that's Strange."' Laymen, who, sitting as arbitrators, will insist on technicalities which the law would instantly reject, and in corner-grocery discussions will argue that a contract signed with a lead pencil is void for informality, are quite sure …

Mutuality in Automobile Agency Contracts - Within the past few years several courts have had to pass upon and construe argreements between the manufacturers and the selling-agents of automoobiles, which have necessitated a thorough discussion of the principles of mutuality of obligation of contracts. The attempt to reach a correct solution has developed a vigorous difference of opinion on the subject in some recent cases which it may be of interest to discuss and compare.

Trusts Based On Oral Promises To Hold In Trust To Convey Or To Devise Made By Voluntary Grantees, George P. Costigan Jr
Trusts Based On Oral Promises To Hold In Trust To Convey Or To Devise Made By Voluntary Grantees, George P. Costigan Jr
Michigan Law Review
Where a grantor conveys without consideration other than the grantee's pronise to hold in trust for, or to reconvey or to devise to, the grantor. The situations heretofore considered have all dealt with conveyances on an oral trust for, or oral promise to convey or to devise to, some one other than the grantor. Is the case of a conveyance where the oral promise is for the benefit of the grantor essentially any different? A correct answer to that question necessitates a brief historical consideration of the origin of uses and trusts.
Constitutional Background Of The Recent Japanese Anti-Alien Land Bill Controversy, Harriette M. Dilla
Constitutional Background Of The Recent Japanese Anti-Alien Land Bill Controversy, Harriette M. Dilla
Michigan Law Review
The recent contention between the Federal Government and the state of California over the anti-alien land measure raised anew the question as to the conflict of state action with treaty stipulations. It is a problem which, under our constitutional system, may arise at any time and demand an individual solution in every instance. The dilemma which has presented itself repeatedly in American history is this: the states have the reserved right to provide for their public welfare and may exercise their police powers even against a foreign country, while to the Federal Government has been delegated the exclusive jurisdiction over …

The Constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon Act - In the constitutional history of the commerce clause, by virtue of which absolute control of interstate commerce was given to the Federal Government, there is no question which has caused so much difficulty and has resulted in so many unsatisfactory and contradictory. statements of the law as that problem arising through the attempts of many States effectively to enforce prohibition laws. The power over interstate commerce, delegated to the Federal Government, and the police power, reserved to the States, have not seriously conflicted except in this one instance. But the delegation of power …
