Form Of The General Acceptance, F Thulin Apr 1916

Form Of The General Acceptance, F Thulin

Michigan Law Review

Of the various subdivisions of the law of commercial paper, the form of the acceptance is one that in a way has had the most diversified history. Furthermore, from its very nature, and from the fact that the law merchant was very seldom touched by statute, and from the fact that the common law attached no particular significance toa writing (except as to writings under seal and as to writings required by the Statute of Frauds), the form of the acceptance was possible of a rather elaborate analysis.

The Death of Dean Thayer - The death on September 15th of Ezra Ripley Thayer, dean of the Harvard Law School, has brought irreparable loss not only to the institution which he had brilliantly served, but to the cause of legal education throughout the country. Dean Thayer was the rarely fine product of conditions and environment which have been perhaps the most richly fruitful that our nation has known. The son of a most distinguished legal scholar and teacher, he grew up in association with much that was best and most inspiring in Massachusetts and in the great university from …

Michigan Law Review

The Constitutionality of the Webb-Kenyon Act - In the constitutional history of the commerce clause, by virtue of which absolute control of interstate commerce was given to the Federal Government, there is no question which has caused so much difficulty and has resulted in so many unsatisfactory and contradictory. statements of the law as that problem arising through the attempts of many States effectively to enforce prohibition laws. The power over interstate commerce, delegated to the Federal Government, and the police power, reserved to the States, have not seriously conflicted except in this one instance. But the delegation of power …

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.

Bankruptcy - Judgment for Breach of Promis, Aggravated by Seduction, Not Dischargeable - Petitioner 'had secured a judgment against the bankrupt for the breach of a promise to marry, seduction under such promise having been pleaded in aggravation of damages; the common law rule prevails in New York and a woman may not maintain an action for her own seduction. The District Court (196 Fed. 571), viewing this as a judgment grounded solely in contract, and not in tort as "for -will-ful and malicious injury to the person or property of another," or for "seduction of an unmarried female," held …


Interlocking Corporations, Harold M. Bowman Feb 1913

Interlocking Corporations, Harold M. Bowman

Michigan Law Review

Once more a striking phrase has suddenly become a part of our everyday speech and with it a cause, though it is as yet a more or less indefinite cause, has found a measure of prosperity. It is an effective phrase, one in which an advertising agent or a seeker of political catch words must take a pure delight. "Interlocking directorates." You do not have to hear it often to find yourself thinking of the boards of directors of many of the big corporations in the land as mortised and fitted to work in perfect unison-an interlocking, interchangeable, intercorporate marvel …

In the first portion of this paper-it has been shown that the character of ja deposit is determined by the contract made between the bank and its customer. It now remains to point out the various conditions of fact and combinations of circumstances which are useful in ascertaining the true character of the contract when the subject of the deposit is commercial paper, as drafts, notes, or cheques.

The Renvoi Theory Repudiated as a Test for Determining the Negotiability of a Note - A recent case decided by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma (Bell v. Riggs, 127 Pac. 427) involving, among others, a question as to what law governs the negotiability of a note made in one State and payable in another, though of little intrinsic value so far as that point is concerned, is of some interest because the attorney for the holder of the note made a curious attempt to adapt the renvoi theory to his case. The term renvoi is used as a convenient descriptive …

Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker

Michigan Law Review

Insolvency, no less than natural death, is a tragedy which comes into the midst of business transactions, fixing the claims of parties, and calling for the application of legal principles to determine the nature and extent of their rights. Perhaps no business relationship is more frequent than that of banker and customer or depositor. And while insolvency of banking institutions is happily less frequent than in the ordinary business, it is not so uncommon that questions therein are not often in the courts for adjudication. It would, therefore, be a natural deduction that the legal principles applicable should be comparatively …
