Common Law Pleas And Subsequent Pleadings In West Virginia, Leo Carlin
Common Law Pleas And Subsequent Pleadings In West Virginia, Leo Carlin
West Virginia Law Review
Some time ago the writer published an article1 dealing with the common law declaration in West Virginia, the general purpose of which was to collect and analyze the local statutes modifying or dispensing with common law requirements and to determine what further might be done by way of statutory reform. It is now proposed to deal with some of the features of common law pleas and the subsequent pleadings somewhat in the same manner and with the same general purpose in view. Necessarily, an attempt can be made to deal only with selected details of the subject. The pleadings discussed …

Insurance - Estoppel - Parol Evidence Rule
Insurance - Estoppel - Parol Evidence Rule
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff sued on a fire policy. The insurer defended on the ground that plaintiff had violated a condition of the policy which provided that there would be no liability if loss occurred while the property was encumbered by a chattel mortgage, unless the company's written consent thereto was endorsed on the policy. Plaintiff sought to estop the defendant as to this defense because of insurer's agent's assurances, given before and after the issuance of the policy, that the policy would permit him to encumber the goods. Held, defendant's demurrer to plaintiff's replication should be sustained because of plaintiff's …
Review Of A Review, Charles E. Clark
Review Of A Review, Charles E. Clark
Michigan Law Review
In an interesting review of WALSH ON EQUITY, in 29 MICH. L. REV. I I 22 (June 1931 ), Professor Clarence D. Laylin appears to ascribe to me parenthood for some pleading concepts set forth in that excellent treatise ( of which I heartily approve; compare my review in 8 NEW YORK UNIVERSITY LAW QUARTERLY REVIEW 521, March, 1931). Although these ideas have been supported by able writers and courts for some time, I should not object to the honor but for the fact that Professor Laylin also seems to assume premises which in my opinion are most inimical to …

Federal Court Judgment Liens, Marion Edwards
Federal Court Judgment Liens, Marion Edwards
Washington Law Review
Apparently, at the present time, the thought of lawyers on the law relating to the territorial extent of Federal Court judgment liens on real property in the states, is somewhat confused. To attribute the bewilderment to any inherent difficulty in the subject would be ungracious if not unjust. It would be fairer to ascribe it to the distractions of modern life and business, though doubtless some modicum of blame is due to that propensity so gloomily pondered by Sir Joshua Reynolds when he said, "There is no expedient to winch man will not resort to avoid the labor of thinking." …
