Ley Del Servicio Civil De Cuba De Enero 18 De 1909, Cuba

Cuban Law

Han sido dos las ideas generadoras de la Ley: organizar en carrera especial, el servicio activo y permanente de la administración civil e independizar, hasta donde fuere posible, de la influencia política, la Administración. Sobre estos dos pensamientos fundamentales se desenvuelve el articulado de la Ley.

English Law As An Exponent Of English History, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

It is not my purpose to unduly emphasize the light which the study of the laws of a people throws upon its character and development. The teaching of history should be broad enough to recognize the importance of all sides of national life. But I believe there has never been a sufficient appreciation of the real wealth of suggestive and illuminating material which is contained in the history of English law. For the English have been pre-eminently a legal race. In the study of Roman History Roman Law has always occupied a prominent place. The Romans made their reputation, so …

Limited Partnership In America And England, Francis M. Burdick

Michigan Law Review

At last Great Britain has legalized Limited Partnership. More than a quarter of a century ago, Sir Frederick Pollock called attention to the fact that the United Kingdom was almost the only civilized country of the world which had not adopted this institution. The remark was made in an address devoted to an explanation of a bill, which he had drafted, to cover the entire subject of partnership. Long before this, the economical advantages of limited partnership had been set forth by John Stuart Mill and other writers; and repeated attempts had been made to secure a statute legalizing this …

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 3, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

After having, in a summary manner, reviewed the historical connection existing between the Roman and Mohammedan laws, and examined the social condition of their respective people, we now come to our last theme, namely, the comparison of their laws proper, which will show their similarity in more than one point. This examination-which will be preceded by an explanation of jurisprudence in both systems and an attempt to show the likeness of their respective jurisconsults-will be limited to certain subjects of personal law and contracts, and concluded with a few observations on judicial organization.

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence, Part 2, Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

In examining the early life of the Romans and comparing it with the social condition of the people of the Arabian peninsula in the pre-Islamic times, who are rightly considered the best type of the race, amongst those who embraced the faith of Mohammed, we are immediately struck with the great similarity that existed between the Roman gens; or the Greek ϒένος; and the Arabian Akila, though it cannot thereby be concluded that this likeness necessarily denotes a descent from the same stock. A distinguished French orientalist, in observing this striking similarity, ventured to conjecture that both …

The Position Of The Law Of Torts In The Spanish System, Clyde Alton Dewitt

Michigan Law Review

The penal and civil codes of Spain, together with its procedural codes, its commercial and notarial codes, and its mortgage law combine to form as highly developed a system of jurisprudence as that enjoyed by any of the civilized nations of today. Under it, the people of our insular possessions have carried on an extensive domestic and foreign commerce, and have developed an organized social and political life. Our government has adopted the commendable policy of interfering as little as possible with the local laws and institutions of the Philippines and Porto Rico, it being evident that any extensive attempt …

Roman Law And Mohammedan Jurisprudence (Part 1), Theodore P. Ion

Michigan Law Review

A comparison of the Roman law with Mohammedan jurisprudence, is a task not easy to accomplish, nor can an essay on that theme be made comprehensive enough to embrace all the ramifications of both legal systems. The object, therefore, of the present article, is to make only a cursory comparison of them; and to demonstrate their similarity in more than one point, showing the close analogy existing between them, and the influence that the laws of Rome exercised in the development of the Islamic legislation. As in the early days of Rome, law and religion had a close connection with …

The Scottish Jury, Rufus Fleming

Michigan Law Review

The origin of the jury is one of the subjects on which an agreement has not been. reached by writers on the history of law. A number of theories have been put forward at different times. At this day two of these theories receive considerable support. The first is that the jury system is a gradual and natural sequence from the modes of trial in use among the Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Normans. The second-and perhaps the one more widely accepted at present-is that we owe trial by jury to the legal institutions of the Frankish empire. (Forsyth's "History of Trial by …

Extra-Territorial Jurisdiction In China, Gustavus Ohlinger

Michigan Law Review

The Chinese have long been accustomed to the presence in their midst of foreign populations governed by laws peculiar to themselves and, perchance, owing allegiance to a foreign sovereignty. As long ago as the eighth century the Arabian traders who resorted to Canton were permitted to govern themselves by their own laws. The Mohaminedans have for many centuries formed a distinct element in the population, being subject to a separate law and to their own authorities. When, therefore, in the sixteenth century the first European traders began to appear on the China coast the government treated them as they had …

Law As A Culture Study, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

That acute observer and commentator on American institutions, James Bryce, in an oft-quoted statement in his American Commonwealth, pays a high tribute to the efficiency of American law schools. "I do not know if there is anything," he writes, "in which America has advanced more beyond the mother country than in the provision she makes for legal education." In passing this generous judgment, in which many other eminent Englishmen have concurred, he views our law schools simply as institutions for developing technical proficiency among students destined to fill the ranks of the legal profession. And this is, indeed, the principal …

The Old Roman Law And A Modern American Code, Joseph H. Drake

Michigan Law Review

In Book II, on Property, Ownership, and its Modifications, the Porto Rican Code follows closely its Spanish prototype. The main variation in general outline is the omission from the American code of the special property in minerals and in intellectual productions.

The Old Common Law And The New Trusts, Ditlew M. Frederiksen

Michigan Law Review

T HE Civil Code of Porto Rico, our latest Roman American code, gives interesting proof of the fact that the two systems of law, the Roman and the English, which control most of the nations of the civilized world and their dependencies, are, in their essence, but slightly different enunciations of the same principles of natural justice. The parent of the Civil Code of Porto Rico1 is the Spanish Civil Code,2 in force in Spain since May I, 1889, and extended to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines on July 31, 1889. The Spanish Civil-Code is the result of the …
