Michigan Law Review
A grantor conveyed real property to defendant reserving "all oil and gas and all minerals" in and under the land "for the period of twenty-five years... and as long thereafter as oil or gas or petroleum products" should be produced. Following this reservation, but in another clause of the deed, the grantor provided, "Subject to the reservations and conditions aforesaid, [grantor] hereby grants ... all of said real property ...to the [defendant], together with ...the reversion and reversions thereof."

Extent Of The Legislature's Reserve Power To Change Common Law Attributes Of Corporations, Edward R. Hayes
Vanderbilt Law Review
Does a stockholder have a right, at common law, to dissent and have his stock repurchased when his corporation purchases the assets of another business? If he does, is this a common law attribute of corporations? What other common law attributes may there be? To what extent has a legislature power to alter or modify these attributes, or to authorize alteration or modification by the holders of a majority of a corporation's stock?

The Attorney's Liability For Negligence, John W. Wade
The Attorney's Liability For Negligence, John W. Wade
Vanderbilt Law Review
The concept of negligence was late in developing in the common law. Perhaps the first group of cases in which the idea began to take shape involved the liability of persons who professed competence in certain callings.' One of these "callings" was that of the attorney,and cases as early as the middle of the eighteenth century hold an attorney liable on this basis.

Admiralty- "Twilight Zone" In Workmen's Compensation - Pursuit Of State Common Law Action Against Employer, James S. Leigh
Michigan Law Review
Petitioner was injured on his employer's barge moored in navigable waters while assisting in a loading operation. The employer was insured solely under the Federal Longshoremen's and Harbor Workers' Act. Instead of pursuing the remedy available under the federal act, petitioner brought the common law action authorized by state workmen's compensation legislation in the state courts. The Oregon Supreme Court affirmed judgment for the employer on the ground that the injury was covered exclusively by the federal act. On certiorari to the United States Supreme Court, held, reversed per curiam, two justices dissenting. The injury was incurred within the …
The Law Of The Collective Agreement, Charles O. Gregory
The Law Of The Collective Agreement, Charles O. Gregory
Michigan Law Review
The Wagner Act contained no law governing collective agreements. Congress left their enforcement to the state and federal courts under the miserable body of common-law rules. Under various theories the courts worried about consideration, mutuality of obligation, duress and public policy aspects as if they were dealing with conventional contracts.

Judgments - Res Judicata - Limitation Of California Doctrine Of Collateral Estoppel In Multiple Claimant Cases, Sidney B. Hopps
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiffs were injured when their car was struck by defendant. They commenced separate negligence actions, which were consolidated for trial. These actions resulted in a judgment for plaintiff son, but judgments were entered against the plaintiffs mother and father. These parties were granted a new trial, with no limitation upon the issues to be tried. On the second trial the parents asserted the son's judgment, which had become final and been satisfied, as conclusively establishing defendant's negligence. The trial court ruled against them and submitted the issue of defendant's negligence to the jury. On appeal by the parents, held, …
