Estoppel And Crown Privilege In English Administrative Law, Bernard Schwartz
Estoppel And Crown Privilege In English Administrative Law, Bernard Schwartz
Michigan Law Review
Perhaps the most anachronistic doctrine in Anglo-American public law is that of sovereign immunity. Under it, the State is placed in a privileged position of immunity from the principles of law which are binding upon the ordinary citizen, unless it expressly consents to be bound by such principles. In Anglo-American law the infallibility attributed to the King in the days when he was personally sovereign has been more recently recognized in the State, which the Crown now merely personifies. Thus, even today, and even in the American democracy, the basic principle of public law is that the King can do …

The Martial Deduction And Equalization Under The Federal Estate And Gift Taxes Between Common Law And Community Property States, Paul E. Anderson
The Martial Deduction And Equalization Under The Federal Estate And Gift Taxes Between Common Law And Community Property States, Paul E. Anderson
Michigan Law Review
In 1948, as the culmination of much dissatisfaction with the treatment of community property under the federal estate and gift tax laws, Congress adopted a new formula for the treatment of gifts and bequests between spouses; this formula was known as the marital deduction. It has remained practically unchanged since its adoption and still stands as an integral part of our federal estate and gift tax structure.
The basic purpose of the deduction was to provide equalization in estate and gift tax treatment between spouses residing in community property states and those residing in common law property states. The plan …

Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: I, R. Bruce Townsend
Creation Of Joint Rights Between Husband And Wife In Personal Property: I, R. Bruce Townsend
Michigan Law Review
Joint ownership of personal property in recent years has become a common practice--one to which husband and wife are especially addicted. The topic is worthy of more than academic concern as demonstrated by the public use of joint titles in the acquisition of all kinds of personal assets, particularly investment securities. A casual conversation with almost any banker would disclose that a very high percentage of accounts owned by married people are held jointly with their spouses. The current popularity of dual ownership, for example, is reflected in the marketing policy of the United States Treasury in the sale of …
Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Legal History-Joseph Story's Anonymous Law Article, John C. Hogan
Michigan Law Review
The first edition of the Encyclopedia Americana (1829-1833) contains numerous articles on a wide variety of legal subjects, including such topics as Common Law, Jury, Equity, etc. The identity of the author of these articles is not disclosed. There is an occasional footnote, however, which declares: "this article prepared by an eminent American jurist." This suggested the possibility of a lively and interesting manhunt--a search for the "eminent American jurist" who agreed to submit articles on law for the Encyclopedia, but who preferred to remain anonymous.
