Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers
Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
Few questions which come before the courts seem more difficult to settle than those growing out of the maxim, ignorantia juris non excusat. The fact that the most recent decisions bearing on the subject are as much at variance and as conflicting as those rendered more than a century ago, is the excuse, if not a justification, for this article. It is proposed, however, to examine only that phase of the subject found in this inquiry: "Can one recover from another money paid under mistake of law to which the payee is not entitled, and which he can not in …

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy
An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy
Michigan Law Review
When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …

The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
The Corporation In The Street, Charles C. Dibble
Michigan Law Review
The modern street is not a simple roadway, but a complicated three-story structure in the use of which the general public, the city government, the abutting property owner and the licensed corporation are interested. Not often are streets so limited in capacity as the one in Frankfort, Kentucky, which was so narrow that the passage of a railroad train would have all but filled it, a condition which led the court to enjoin the construction of a track, though duly authorized. Generally there is room for all, and the use of the streets has been granted with the greatest liberality. …

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick
Michigan Law Review
At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

The Proposed Court Of Patent Appeals, Otto Raymond Barnett
Michigan Law Review
Experience has demonstrated that nowhere was the foresight and wisdom of the framers of the Federal Constitution more clearly shown than when they embodied in that instrument the provision that to encourage progress in science and the useful arts, Congress should have authority to secure to writers and inventors for limited times, exclusive rights to their productions. When the Federal Constitution was drafted, the manufacturing industries of this country were insignificant. Since then the industrial progress of the United States has been one of the marvels of the world's history and this progress and the supremacy of American manufacturers have …

The Rights And Remedies On Permitting, Diverting, Increasing And Obstructing The Natural Flow, John R. Rood
Michigan Law Review
It is evident that no one hard and fast rule could be applied to all cases, either in city or country, "without producing injustice and impolitic results. The needs and conditions in city and country are different. They usually differ widely in different parts of the same city. These considerations have induced the Supreme Court of New Hampshire to adopt the flexible rule, that: "In determining this question all the circumstances of the case would, of course, be considered; and among them the nature and importance of the improvements sought to be made, the extent of the interference with the …

Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Legal Ethics, Charles A. Kent
Michigan Law Review
Legal ethics is a branch of general ethics. Some consideration of the latter is necessary to an understanding of the former. It is a fundamental fact that men generally, if not all sane men, distinguish certain courses of conduct as right and wrong; just as they say particular objects are beautiful and others ugly. They feel a duty to do some things and to refrain from others. If savages do not feel distinctly the sense of duty, at least they are indignant at certain conduct in their associates, and approve of other acts, on moral grounds. This sense of duty …

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 3, Theodore P. Ion
Michigan Law Review
After having, in a summary manner, reviewed the historical connection existing between the Roman and Mohammedan laws, and examined the social condition of their respective people, we now come to our last theme, namely, the comparison of their laws proper, which will show their similarity in more than one point. This examination-which will be preceded by an explanation of jurisprudence in both systems and an attempt to show the likeness of their respective jurisconsults-will be limited to certain subjects of personal law and contracts, and concluded with a few observations on judicial organization.

May Congress Levy Money Exactions, Designated "Taxes," Solely For The Purpose Of Destruction?, John Barker Waite
May Congress Levy Money Exactions, Designated "Taxes," Solely For The Purpose Of Destruction?, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
The questions of taxation have furnished a cause of warfare, armed or wordy, since the meaning of government has been known. The possibility of our Constitution was due, superficially, to the imposition of a tax; its adoption, in great measure, to the absence of a tax, to the lack of a taxing power in the Confederation. Since the adoption of the Constitution with its grant of a taxing power, much of our legislative disagreement has centered on the interpretation of that grant. The case of McCray v. United States, opens up a comparatively untrammeled field of dispute. The basis of …
