Territorial Courts And Law: Unifying Factors In The Development Of American Legal Institutions-Pt.1-Establishment Of A Standardized Judicial System, William Wirt Blume, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown
Michigan Law Review
The United States first became a sovereign nation when individual states of the Confederation ceded to the states collectively their several interests in the lands west of the Appalachians which lay east of the Mississippi, north of Spanish Florida, and south of the Great Lakes.

It was the first area over which the states as a group had complete sovereignty, subject only to the claims of the various Indian tribes. Colonies fresh from …

The "Reception" Of Defamation By The Common Law, Colin R. Lovell
The "Reception" Of Defamation By The Common Law, Colin R. Lovell
Vanderbilt Law Review

Property-Joint Bank Accounts-The Donee's Inter Vivos Interest, David K. Kroll S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review

This aspect of the account, causing it to be known sometimes as a "Poor Man's Will," has been the focal point of the attention given to the transaction; and today, after more than half a century of uneven treatment by the courts, all …

Torts-Uniform Contribution Among Tortfeasors Act-General Release Of One Tortfeasor Releases All, Robert L. Harmon
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, riding as a passenger with X, was injured in an accident involving the automobile driven by X and a truck owned by defendant.
