English Judicature Act Of 1873, Willis B. Perkins
English Judicature Act Of 1873, Willis B. Perkins
Michigan Law Review
It seems to be the general impression that reform in judicial procedure is a new and radical thing in the history of jurisprudence. This is far from the fact. It is as old as jurisprudence itself. From Solon to Justinian, from Justinian to the Magna Charta, from the Magna Charta to Bentham, from Bentham to Field, and in every civilized country, radical changes have taken place from time to time, touching both procedure and substantive law. Court systems have been codified, systematized and rearranged to meet advancing and changing social and industrial conditions. From the religious ceremonies, constituting the methods …

Teaching Of Practice And Procedure In Law Schools, Edson R. Sunderland
Teaching Of Practice And Procedure In Law Schools, Edson R. Sunderland
Michigan Law Review
Criticism of the law, the courts, and the legal profession is one of the popular customs of the day. So constantly and so insistently are we told of the shortcomings of the Bench and Bar that it is hard to hold one's footing against the sweep of the current. One might well suppose from all the clamor that the ancient respectability of the law had suddenly been discovered to be a monstrous pretense, a fraud on the innocence and trustfulness of the people, a cloak for injustice and a mask for oppression.

Interstate Commerce and State Control Over Foreign Corporations - Since Bank of Augusta v. Earle, 13 Pet. 519, there seems to have been no real occasion to doubt the power of a state totally to exclude foreign corporations seeking to engage in intrastate business only. The power to exclude being absolute, there has been no question as to the right of the state to allow the entrance of the foreign corporation for such business upon terms, and the terms may be of any sort, reasonable or unreasonable, except that the corporation seeking to enter cannot as a condition precedent to …

Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates
Defects In Our Legal System, Henry M. Bates
Michigan Law Review
That the practice of law and the administration of justice are under a fire of popular distrust and criticism of extraordinary intensity requires no proof. A fact of which there is evidence in numerous contemporary books, in almost every magazine, in the daily papers, in the remarks, or the questions, or it may be in the sneers, of one's friends, requires no further demonstration. The only questions of importance to be answered are to what extent this criticism and this distrust are well founded, what are the remedies for such defects as exist, and how and by whom should they …
If The Lines Of A Junior Lode Location Be Laid Across The Surface Of A Valid Senior Location Will The Junior Location Acquire Extralateral Rights Based On A Portion Of The Vein Which Is Included Within The Senior Location As Against Another Earlier Location Covering The Dip Of The Vein, Myron A. Folsom
Michigan Law Review
It was decided in Del. Monte M. & M. Co. v. Last Chance M. & M. Co.,: that the lines of a junior lode location may be laid upon the surface of a valid senior location (if done openly and peaceably), for the purpose of securing extralateral rights on the dip of a vein the apex of which is within the second and outside of the first. But the court declined to decide whether the junior locator would acquire any extralateral rights based upon a portion of the apex covered by the senior location, saying "Perhaps the rights of the …

On Uniformity In Judical Decisions Of Cases Arising Under The Uniform Negotiable Instruments Act, Amasa M. Eaton
Michigan Law Review
When the American Bar Association was formed in 1878, the first object stated in the call was "to assimilate the laws of the different states," and the first article of the Constitution stated that one of the principal objects of the Association was "to advance the science of jurisprudence, to promote the administration of justice and uniformity of legislation throughout the Union."

What is a Public Purpose Justifying the Expenditure Therefore of Money Raised From Taxation - A recent Ohio case raises a question which is frequently discussed in connection with the activities of cities, i. e., 'what is a municipal or public purpose for the accomplishment of which city funds raised from taxation may be expended. The council of the city of Toledo passed an ordinance authorizing the expenditure of $1000 for the purpose of establishing a municipal moving-picture theater. The auditor refused to pay over to the director of public service the fund thus appropriated and mandamus was sought by …

Debt Of The Modern Law Of Guardianship To Roman Law, Charles P. Sherman
Debt Of The Modern Law Of Guardianship To Roman Law, Charles P. Sherman
Michigan Law Review
The Roman law of guardianship grew out of the family organization. It is also quite closely connected with the law of inheritance. The power of a guardian is that form of family power which ordinarily takes the place of paternal power when there is no one to exercise the latter. It was originally at Rome but an extension of the paternal power. In this respect the conception of guardianship is different in English law -- English guardianship rests on the principle of protecting the bodily and mental immaturity of youth.

The Law School -As a result of the increased requirements for admission, which are now in their second year of operation, the attendance at the Law School is less than that of last year, though the decrease is less than was anticipated at the time of the adoption of the higher requirements. The entering class (the second, under the new standard) is about thirty larger than that of last year. There are no changes in the teaching staff, and none of great importance in the curriculum.

In the preceding paper, we considered pension legislation in general -- its extent, forms, purpose, and relation to the taxing power of the state and nation. It is proposed in this paper to discuss in detail the provisions of the proposed Michigan teachers' pension law in the light of the general principles, set forth in the former paper, with reference to specific constitutional provisions, and the decisions of the courts upon-the validity of pensions for firemen and policemen which are similar in many respects to teachers' pension systems, together with such decisions as have been made concerning the constitutionality of …
Nature Of Legal Rights And Duties, Joseph W. Bingham
Nature Of Legal Rights And Duties, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
One cannot long talk on a legal topic without using the words right and duty or some synonyms. It is familiar hearsay that a purpose of law is to create, delimit, and protect rights and to define and enforce duties. Therefore it is of importance to inquire what is meant by "a right" and by "a duty" when we use these terms in legal discussion. The question is a linguistic one; but in the process of finding the proper answer, we shall have to analyze some of our common sorts of mental concepts and perhaps shall finish with a clear …

Paul and the other apostles were brought before the Council of Israel for preaching the doctrines of Christ contrary to the mandates of that body. Gamaliel, a Pharisee and a doctor of the law, stood up in the Council and said: "Ye men of Israel, take heed to yourselves what ye intend to do as touching these men. And now I say unto you, Refrain from these men, and let them alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men, it will come to nought; but if it be of God, ye can not overthrow it; lest haply …

One box, weighing not over 200 pounds and actually worth $75, was lost. The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed …

At the last annual meeting of the Association of American Law Schools, Professor Walter W. COOK contributed an interesting address on Equity and its relation to Law. Taking as his more specific subject, "THE PLACE OF EQUITY IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM," the speaker began his discussion with an extensive quotation from MAITLAND'S LECTURES ON EQUITY,--a work cordially welcomed by that distinguished scholar's many admirers upon its posthumous publication in the fall of 1909.

Dissatisfaction With Our Judges, C A. Kent
Dissatisfaction With Our Judges, C A. Kent
Michigan Law Review
Dissatisfaction with our judges is no new thing. It existed with the United States Supreme Court in the time of Chief Justice MARSHALL, the greatest of American jurists, after the Dred Scott decision, after the conflicting decisions on the power of Congress to make the government notes a legal tender, and at other times. Probably there is no one of the older states where dissatisfaction with the state courts has not been sometimes acute.
