Legal Ethics, Clarence Archibald Lightner
Legal Ethics, Clarence Archibald Lightner
Michigan Law Review
My purpose here is a discussion of (I) the meaning of "ethics" in a professional sense, and (2) the relation to the subject of the "Canons of Ethics" of the American Bar Association. I have before me a valuable booklet1 in which the author opposes, in one chapter, "Ethical Instruction in the Schools" and, in the other chapter, he favors "Moral Instruction in the Schools." In his use of words, "ethical" means theory, a science, while "moral" means habits, an art. He persuasively opposes, therefore, the "ethical" while contending for the "moral."

When the Descendants of a Predeceased Legatee Will Not Take Under a Statute of Substitution - There are in most states statutes declaring that if a person named as legatee dies before the testator, his descendants shall take his share. Downing v. Nicholson, 115 Ia. 493; Strong v. Smith, 84 Mich. 567; x8 A. & E. ENCYC. Ol LAw, 2d Ed. 755.

German Legal Philosophy, John M. Zane
Michigan Law Review
Annexed as an appendix to the translation of Kohler's Philosophy of Law is an appreciation of the work by Adolf Lasson, 1 who complains that he himself once wrote a philosophy of law which has sunk into oblivion, probably for the reason, as he modestly suggests, that he knew so much of systematic philosophy that he had no time to acquire any "special scientific learning either in the law or any other special department of knowledge."2 This complaint is a confession, child-like and amusing in its vanity, which could be dismissed without comment, were it not something that is wholly …

The Essentials of American Constitutional Law, by Francis Newton Thorpe, Professor of Political Science and Constitutional Law in the University of Pittsburgh. G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1917, pp. 279. This is a very readable presentation of the fundamental principles of Constitutional law. "Readable" is used advisedly because the book is written for readers rather than students of the subject. It is more a statement of principles than an exposition of their particular application. Furthermore, the principles as stated are less those which are expressed by the courts as the bases of decisions than those which inductive analysis shows to be …

The National Army Act and the Administration of the "Draft" - In Aryer v. U.

The contention that compulsory military service as provided in the Act is contrary to our fundamental conception of the nature of citizenship, and that such compulsion is repugnant to a free government and in conflict with the guaranties of the Constitution …

If there is a living American qualified to prepare material for the student of future interests probably law teachers would agree that Professor Kales is the man. He has written a book on Future Estates in Illinois which has made a distinct impression on the law of that state and is recognized elsewhere as a sound and scholarly treatise. He has taught the course on future interests and illegal restraints at Northwestern University Law School for many years, and last year gave the same course at Harvard.

Corporate Earnings As Gains Profits And Income As Depending Upon The Time Of Their Accrual, Robert M. Drysdale, Maurice C. Mcgiffin
Michigan Law Review
The discussion here has to do with the earnings of corporations as taxable income, whether such earnings remain in the hands of the corporation accumulating them, or are distributed to the stockholders as dividends, the inquiry being limited, however, to the question of the time of their accrual as affecting their taxability.

Logic V Common Sense In Pleading, Nathan Isaacs
Logic V Common Sense In Pleading, Nathan Isaacs
Michigan Law Review
Michigan's experiment in pleading--or the suppression of pleading-is being carefully watched throughout the country. Not that it is likely that many other states will go to the extreme, for it is an extreme, of substituting notice-pleading for essential-fact-pleading: but it is a fact that even the code states are experiencing a reaction in that general direction. It will probably lead to a multiplication of their "short forms," rather than to a sweeping provision that

Attorney and Client - Contracts Restricting Settlement by Client - A contingent fee agreement made by an attorney with his client provided that the attorney should have a lien for his services on the amount received by reason of the claim, and also that neither party should compromise the claim without the consent of the other. The plaintiff brought suit for the amount of his services against the defendants in the prior suit, who admitted receiving notice of the above agreement.

Is Christianity part of the Law of England? It would seem that if it ever was so, it is so no longer. Such at least is the conclusion which Austin's "simple-minded layman" will undoubtedly draw from the recent decision of the House of Lords in Bowman v. The Secular Society, Limited, [1917] A. C. 4o6. The lawyer who recognizes that such phrases as the above can have little or no value in legal science will be more concerned to note the unanimous determination of the final court of appeal in Great Britain in favor of the view of the law …

Injuries Arising "Out of" an Employment - An employee's duties take him into the streets where he is injured by being run into by an automobile or other vehicle; has he ground for recovery of compensation under the usual WOltM4a,'eS COMPENSATION AcT providing for an award for injuries "arising out of and in the course of his employment"? Since he was in the street in pursuance of his duties and not in going to or from work, it is clear that the injury was one arising in the "course of" the employment. But did it arise "out of' the employment?

Animals - Injuries by Animals at Large - In an action for damages for injuries sustained by the kick of a horse, the petition alleged that for many days the defendant carelessly and negligently permitted a horse owned by him to run loose on the streets unattended, and that the plaintiff while playing about was kicked by the horse. On demurrer, held, no cause of action stated because no allegation that the owner knew the horse was vicious. Brady v. Str.aub, (Ky. Ct. of App. 1917), 197 S. W. 938.

Inapplicability of the common law doctrine of riparian rights to conditions in the arid region moved the first territorial legislature of Colorado to recognize the counter doctrine of prior appropriation. In fact, the right to the water in the streams of Colorado, by prior appropriation, antedated any legislation. "It was the common law of the people, and legislation, both national and territorial, was but a recognition declaratory of the right as it had theretofore and then existed."-1 Adhering to territorial precedent, Colorado was the first state to incorporate the priority doctrine in its organic law.
