Conflict Of Laws-Right Of Action For Foreign Tort

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, an automobile guest, brought action against the driver in Wisconsin for personal injuries sustained in Illinois through the driver's negligence. After commencement of the action, but before trial, the parties intermarried and established a matrimonial domicil in Wisconsin. Held, that the law governing the creation and extent of tort liability is that of the place where the tort is committed; that by the law of Illinois the cause of action was extinguished because of the legal unity of husband and wife; and therefore that the suit must abate, despite the fact that suits between spouses are ordinarily permitted …

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."

Taylor Theatre Playbills

Ex Parts Divorce As A Bar To A Subsequent Action For Alimony

Michigan Law Review

A decree of divorce purports only to affect the marital status of the parties and as such is an action en rem, while an order to pay alimony is a personal judgment. To be effective it must be rendered by a court having personal jurisdiction over the defendant. Since the decision of Pennoyer v. Neff, if the defendant, though an assent non-resident, has property within the jurisdiction the local law may authorize proceedings for seizing it for a personal claim against the owner, the action in effect being against the owner's interest in the property attached. This applies …

Divorce And Its Relation To Cook County Relief Cases, Mary Mcintyre

Master's Theses

The family—man, woman, child—is the human trinity of society and hence is often called the "social unit" or the "cell of the social organism". Since it has priority of nature with regard to larger groups, it has also the priority of right. The family is the first to serve the individual and when it fails, society fails, for history is full of examples of the fall of empires preceded by the decay of family life. Because of its influence in the forming of personal character and the training of citizenship, it is of first social importance.

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.

Conflict Of Laws--The Uniform Divorce Act And Full Faith And Credit

Michigan Law Review

in spite of the recognized need for uniformity in divorce law, the Act Regulating Annulment of Marriage and Divorce has not met with widespread favor. This act was framed by the National Congress on Uniform Divorce Laws in 1900 and was approved in 1907 by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws. It has been adopted only by Delaware, New Jersey, and Wisconsin. While general adoption would remove much of the present uncertainty in the law, some interesting problems are still left for solution.

A Critique Of Methods For Alteration Of Women's Legal Status, Gladys Wells

Michigan Law Review

A case was appealed because all women electors were excluded from the jury. Held, the Nineteenth federal Amendment merely prohibits discrimination, leaving the states to confer the right of suffrage. Moreover, jury service is distinct therefrom; and the state constitution excludes women by providing for juries of twelve "men." If being an elector ipso facto entitled to jury service, the legislature could prescribe no other limitation. No question of violation of the Fourteenth Amendment can be raised since the accused does not belong to the excluded class.

Venue--Jurisdiction In Criminal Cases

Michigan Law Review

In a recent case in Oklahoma the defendant was prosecuted for bigamy, under a statute which read as follows: "It shall be unlawful for either party to such divorce to remarry any other person within six months from the degree of divorcement. * * * Any person marrying contrary: to the provisions of this statute shall be deemed guilty of bigamy, and such marriage shall be absolutely void." The defendant remarried in another state and returned to Live in Oklahoma. The court held that it had no jurisdiction. Jennings v. State, 17 Okla. Cr. R. 698.

Change In The Meaning Of Consortium, Evans Holbrook

Articles

LAWYERS have long boasted of the flexibility of the common law, of its ability to adapt itself to the needs of changing conditions of society, of its responsiveness to sociological progress. And while eager reformers have often-and with much reason complained that the law is laggard in its response to the needs of the people, yet it is clear that sooner or later the courts generally bring themselves into accord with "what is sanctioned by usage, or held by the prevailing morality or strong and preponderant public 'opinion to be greatly and immediately necessary to the public welfare." This responsiveness …
