Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Limitations Upon The Power Of The Legislature To Control Political Parties And Their Primaries, Alonzo H. Tuttle
Michigan Law Review
The convention system of nominating candidates for public office is, in a great degree, peculiar to the United States. England has in recent years borrowed in part our caucus, but as late as 1893, a writer in the American Law Regisieri says: "A nomination is made in the British dominions by a paper filed by one person and one or a very few seconders." Nor have we always had the convention system here. The first national nominating convention was held in Baltimore, by the anti- Masonic party, on September 26, 1831.

The Law And Justice, Charles A. Kent
The Law And Justice, Charles A. Kent
Michigan Law Review
Here is often complaint that the decisions of the courts are unjust. Probably such complaints have always existed, and they may be no greater to-day than usual. Often, perhaps usually, defeated suitors feel that they have suffered injjustice. There is a public feeling that the rules of law produce much delay in criminal cases, that convictions are set aside by the higher courts for what seem trivial reasons, and that often in consequence the guilty escape. Civil cases do not attract so much public attention, but perhaps there is as great cause of complaint in the repeated trials, rendered necessary …
Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie
Municipal Crisis In Ohio, John Archibald Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
On June 26th, 1902, the supreme court of Ohio rendered three decisions which precipitated a crisis in municipal affairs in that state. For, by these decisions, the court virtually overruled a long line of precedents, and laid down a principle under which scarcely a city in the state possessed a constitutional government. In consequence, the legislature was summoned in extraordinary session to enact a new municipal code for all the cities and villages in the state. The situation was unparalleled, even in American history; and the task before the general assembly was doubtless the most important single act ofmlnicip,- 1,egislati_u …

Michigan Law Review
Turning now to the Posilive side of the question, the cases show that the "privileges and immunities of citizens of a state" do include:- 1. The rizght of free ingress and egress. Dicta to this effect are found in almost every case in which the equal privileges clause" of the constitution is discussed, beginning with Corfield v. Coryell,I and coming down to and including Blake v. McClung,' the last great case upon the clause in question.3 The only case directly in point seems to be Smith v. Moody., Smith was a negro, born free within the state of Ohio, and …

Privileges And Immunities Of Citizens In The Several States, W. J. Meyers
Michigan Law Review
The Federal Constitution, Art. IV., § 2, cl. 1, declares that "The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states." Of this clause Alexander Hamilton wrote: "It may be esteemed the basis of the Union"; and more than seventy years after it had gone into effect, Judge Denio said of it, in deciding the great case of Lemmon v. People, "No provision has tended so strongly to constitute the citizens of the United States one people as this." It is the purpose of this inquiry to ascertain what are the …

May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries If So Under What Circumstances, Thomas H. Shastid
Michigan Law Review
Attention has been given in Part to the question of the existence of the power, in a personal injury suit, to compel the plaintiff to exhibit his injuries. That question being answered; and in the affirmative, it is next necessary to consider the various circumstances under which such power may be exercised. And, first, it is to be observed that, in the investigation of this latter subject, no account need be taken of the courts in which it has been definitely decided that the power does not exist. Nor need account be taken of the courts of New York; for …

May The Plaintiff In A Personal Injury Suit Be Compelled To Exhibit His Injuries? If So, Under What Circumstances?, Thomas H. Shastid
Michigan Law Review
It is everywhere admitted that, with certain restrictions, the plaintiff in a personal injury suit may, if he so choose, exhibit his injuries-either, in proper cases, directly to the jury; or, in other instances, indirectly, to physicians, who are afterwards to go upon the stand. But what about cases where the plaintiff does not so choose ? What if, when the defendant, or the court itself , suggests that the plaintiff undergo a physical personal inspection, he objects? May the plaintiff , then, when he does so object, be compelled, against his will, to undergo the examination ? Further, in …

In the very cordial invitation extended to me by the distinguished President of your Bar Association to participate in the observance of this occasion it was urged that I should make a short address upon the relations of the Federal and State Judiciary to each other. As a reason for my taking this particular subject it was suggested by him that I had had the advantage of a considerable service under both systems.

V. Dramatization of novels. - Continued. - Fortunately, we, in the United States, have had very little trouble in regard to the dramatization of novels. The copyright statute provides that the author of a copyrighted book may reserve the right to dramatize and translate his own work. There is no question, however, that but for this act which creates the additional right of dramatization and translation, the English rule would be in force in this country. The exclusive right of translating "Uncle Tom's Cabin" was denied Mrs. Stowe in Stowe v. Thomas, "decided before the enactment of the statute permitting …

The Judicial System Of The German Empire, Richard Hudson
Michigan Law Review
In the German Empire the administration of justice is for the most part left to the states, all the courts being state courts with the exception of the Imperial Court at Leipzig. The Empire has however established unity of tlie law, has given a uniform organization and procedure to the courts of the states, and has by the creation of the Reichsgericht as the highest court of appeal ensured a uniform interpretation of the law. These three methods of securing a uniform administration of justice will be studid in the order named.

Literary Property at Common Law.--There have been few legal questions so generally and so fully discussed-as that relating to the property of authors in their. writings. Up to 1769, it was generally conceded that authors enjoyed, by virtue of the common law, a perpetual copyright, and copyrights were sold and made the basis of family settlements. In 1769, the great case of Millar v. Taylor, was decided. An action had been brought in 1766 to recover ior the piracy of "Thomson's Seasons," and it was held by a majority of the judges, Lord Mansfield, Mr. Justice Aston and Mr. Justice …
