The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
The Judicial Reforms Of The Reign Of Henry Ii, Richard Hudson
Michigan Law Review
Inasmuch as this paper is to deal with the judicial reforms of the reign of Henry II, and more particularly with the extension of the jurisdiction of the king's court during that period, we must at the outset, for the purpose of comparison, make a brief study of the courts, their jurisdiction, and their methods of procedure at the close of Saxon and the beginning of Norman times. Mention should first be made of the courts of the hundred and of the shire, for it was in these public local courts, particularly in the former, that in early times justice …

The Gibbons V. Ogden Fetish, Fred'k H. Cooke
Michigan Law Review
It was, we believe, Huxley who once said something to the effect that, as soon as one becomes an authority in science, he becomes a nuisance. In many a field of human activity, we find illustrations of the influence of a great name in retarding the progress of thought. Cuvier and Agassiz furnish notable instances in the realm of natural science. For centuries the great authority of Galen operated to paralyze progress in medicine. Still better known are instances of supposedly infallible individuals, or organizations, or writings, in retarding progress in theology. The same influence has notoriously operated in jurisprudence. …
The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin
The Establishment Of Judicial Review Ii, Edwin S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
In tracing the establishment of judicial review subsequently to the inauguration of the national government it will be important to bear in mind that there are two distinct kinds of judicial review, namely, federal judicial review, or the power of the federal courts to review acts of the State legislatures under the United States Constitution, and Judicial review proper; or the power of the courts to pass upon the constitutionality of acts of the coordinate legislatures. That the Judiciary Act of 1789 contemplated, in the mind of its author, Ellsworth, the exercise of the power of review by the national …

The Practice Of Law In Quebec Province, Canada, Howard S. Ross
Michigan Law Review
There are not more than one hundred and forty practicing English lawyers in the whole Province but they practically all read French and the greater number speak French sufficiently well to conduct business or examine a witness in Court. Lawyers from the other Provinces seldom seek admission to the Quebec Bar unless they are prepared to specialize in some branch of law in which they have gained a national reputation, or enter some established firm. Lawyers of other Provinces seeking to become members of the Quebec Bar are asked to pass an oral examination on the Statute Law of the …

Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (Ii), Floyd R. Mechem
Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (Ii), Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
Returning now to the general question of the master's liability for malicious acts in cases not affected by any such special considerations as those which have just been considered, it may be premised, as has been already stated, that the tendency of the modem cases is undeniably to attach less importance to the motive with which the act was done and to give more attention to the question whether or not it can be deemed to fall within the scope of the servant's employment.
Charter Contracts And The Regulation Of Rates, Charles G. Fenwick
Charter Contracts And The Regulation Of Rates, Charles G. Fenwick
Michigan Law Review
Considering how well-established the doctrine has been for over eighty years that the charters of public service corporations are to be construed strictly in favor of the state when a dispute arises as to the extent of their powers, it may be a matter of surprise on first consideration that there should have been such a large body of litigation over the construction of these charters. Why were they not worded in unequivocal terms? Or have the courts, in the desire of protecting the state, done violence to the plain intent of words? Eliminating such charters as have been deliberately …

Liability Of Master For Wilful Or Malicious Acts Of Servant (I), Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
In general-While it is well settled that the principal or master is responsible to third persons for the negligent act of his servant or agent, committed within the scope of his authority, it has been held in many cases that he is not liable for the agent's wilful or malicious act. In the language of Judge Cowen, which fairly states the doctrine of these cases, "the dividing line is the wilfulness of the act." It is perhaps not strange that a distinction in the master's responsibility for negligent acts and for wilful acts should constantly present itself. The very idea …

The Establishment Of Judicial Review (I), Edwin S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
When Gladstone described the Constitution of the United States as "the most wonderful work ever struck off at a given time by the brain and purpose of man," his amiable intention to flatter was forgotten, while what was considered his gross historical error became at once a theme of adverse criticism. Their contemporaries and immediate posterity regarded the work of the Constitutional Fathers as the inspired product of political genius and essentially as a creation out of hand. Subsequently, due partly to the influence of the disciples of Savigny in the field of legal history, partly to the sway of …

A Recent History Of English Law, Arthur Lyon Cross

In 1607, if his own word can be behaved, "tough old Sir Edward Coke," that monster of legal learning, told King James I "that causes which concern the life, or inheritance, or goods, or fortunes of his subjects are not to be decided by natural reason, but by the artificial reason and judgment of the law, which requires long study and experience before a man can attain to the cognizance of it." The celebrated Sir John Fortesque, when pressed on one occasion in the reign of Henry VI by the legal absurdity of a distinction he was laying down as …
Liability For Accidents In Aerial Navigation, Simeon E. Baldwin
Liability For Accidents In Aerial Navigation, Simeon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
It cannot be long before the American courts will be called upon to decide whether, under the principles of the common law, aeronauts, who cause damage by a descent to the earth, are liable at all events, or only when chargeable with negligence or want of skill. Is there a right to navigate the air, corresponding to the right to navigate the sea? ·
Some Historical Matter Concerning Trade-Marks, Edward S. Rogers
Some Historical Matter Concerning Trade-Marks, Edward S. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
Most of the text books on the subject of trade marks begin with the case of Southern v. How, and either expressly assert, or by implicating convey the impression that trade marks are a comparatively modern thing, when, as a matter of fact few human institutions can boast a more respectable antiquity. The use of trade marks dates from the very earliest times of which we have any knowledge. The recent excavations in Asia Minor and in Egypt have revealed bricks bearing names which are supposed to be those of the manufacturers accompanied in many instances by devices. Roman bricks …
