The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume One. Introduction: Family Law, Ernst Rabel

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Full application of comparative methods to the law of conflicts requires a working plan of some magnitude. We ought to take stock of the conflicts rules existing in the different countries of the world, state their similarities or dissimilarities, and investigate their purposes and effects. The solutions thus ascertained should moreover be subjected to an estimation of their usefulness, by the standards appropriate to their natural objective. Conflicts rules have to place private life and business relations upon the legal background suitable to satisfactory intercourse among states and nations. They are valuable to the extent that their practical functioning, rather …

Husband And Wife--Memorandum On The Mississippi Woman's Law Of 1839, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown

Michigan Law Review

In retrospect, it seems a logical development that married women in the United States should have acquired substantial legal equality with men. The conditions of pioneer life, the relatively high sentimental value placed upon women, the increasing degree of social and domestic freedom which American women enjoyed-all were incompatible with the strict theories of the common law which placed a married woman and her property under the absolute control of her husband.

Developments In The Conflict Of Laws, 1902-1942, Ernest G. Lorenzen

Michigan Law Review

The writer's interest in the conflict of laws coextends substantially with the life of the Michigan Law Review. This may be some excuse for attempting to trace some of the developments in this field in the intervening years. Let us consider first what has happened in this country and thereupon what has occurred in the rest of the world.

Revocation Of Wills By Subsequent Change In The Condition Or Circumstances Of The Testator, Elizabeth Durfee

Michigan Law Review

Among the oldest rules in the law of wills are those by which a will is held to be revoked by implication by certain changes in the circumstances of the testator. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these rules. Special reference will be made to statutes, both those which deal generally with the subject and those which provide specifically for the effect of particular events, such as marriage; no attempt will be made, however to analyze the latter type of statute exhaustively. By way of introduction, a brief historical survey of the doctrine should be made.

An Evaluation Of Washington Marriage Laws, Richard T. Young

Washington Law Review

Today the attitude of the public, as well as that of most lawmaking bodies, is still one of laissez faire towards this question of marriage laws. It is only when we realize that the problem is inherently involved with that of divorce, juvenile delinquency, pauperism and public health that the need for more scientific marriage legislation is made apparent. The appalling rate at which divorce and crime have increased in the United States in the last few years discloses serious deficiencies in those laws under which the family originates.

Gratuitous Promises-A New Writ?, Warren L. Shattuck

Michigan Law Review

Under the early common law, the fact situations which presented actionable wrongs were limited in number and stereotyped into various writs which issued from the Lord Chancellor. Only as new writs were devised by him was it possible for new fact situations to achieve the dignity of justiciability and so raise legal rights and duties. But with the liberalization of pleading the recognition of new legal rights and duties became a judicial function. In consequence, the constant struggle of new fact patterns for a place in the law is now principally waged before the courts. In this struggle some fail, …

Divorce And Malcious Desertion, Theo. Laetsch

Concordia Theological Monthly

Divorce, Except It Be for Fornication.

Is there anything besides death that severs the marriage bond? In the opinion of the Pharisees there were quite a number of reasons for which a man might put away his wife. In answer to Christ’s apodictic statement they ask: "Why did Moses, then, command to give a writing of divorcement and to put her away? How dare you, they mean to say, put yourself in opposition to Moses? Are you more than Moses? Christ answers: Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives; but from the …

Conflict Of Laws-Renvoi Doctrine

Michigan Law Review

H, an Englishman, married W in England. On separation H acquired a domicil in Germany. A child was thereafter born to Y, a woman with whom H was living in Germany. H subsequently divorced W in Germany and married Y. Whether the child was legitimate determined whether H had validly exercised a power of appointment in an English settlement. Held, legitimacy is to be determined by the law of the domicil, including its rules of private international law. Germany, referring the matter to English law, found a remittance which Germany accepted and applied German municipal law. The child, by …

Aliens-Probationary Period In Naturalization

Michigan Law Review

The petitioner, a Norwegian, who was awaiting a final hearing upon his petition for naturalization, married a Norwegian woman in Windsor, Ontario, believing that their marriage would make it possible for her to enter the United States. Upon application to the American consul they were advised that she would have to wait for a vacancy under the Norwegian quota. The wife could speak no English, they had little money, and the husband believed that his employment depended upon his immediate return to Detroit. In desperation they hired a boat and crossed the St. Clair River to the United States where …

Why Wives Leave Home, Betty Van Deventer

Select Rare Books

"The press and pulpit cry loudly about the tremendous increase in divorces in every state of the Union. Even the sociologist takes his turn in trying to explain why more and more wives are leaving home. …The legal reason given for divorce is seldom the true, underlying cause of the dissolution of the marriage relationship. One must study the emotional lives of our men and women to discover why they cannot live together in more harmony."

The Evidential Force Of Habit And Repute As Opposed To The Substantive Law Concerning Marriage, Burton J. Wheelon

Washington Law Review

The Washington decisions have settled beyond a doubt that a valid marriage can not take place in this state in any manner other than that prescribed by statute. The statutes were originally enacted in 1854 and have come down to us with practically no alterations and with but few additions. As early as 1892 it was decided that the statutory requirements were mandatory, that a ceremony was essential and that common law marriages, in this state, were invalid. Thus the substantive law has become fixed.
