Conflict Of Laws - Status Of Foreign Statute - Non-Recognition Of Support Obligation, David C. Berg S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The State of California, Department of Mental Hygiene, brought suit in Texas against defendant, a California resident until his removal to Texas in 1954, to recover money expended by the state in support of defendant's mother, an incompetent inmate of a California state institution since 1944. California law requires an adult son to contribute to his parents' support while a similar provision of the Texas law imposes such an obligation on a parent but not on a child.

Torts In English And American Conflict Of Laws: The Role Of The Forum, S. I. Shuman, S. Prevezer
Michigan Law Review
''Private international law owes its existence to the fact that there are in the world a number of separate territorial systems of law that differ greatly from each other in the rules by which they regulate the various legal relations arising in daily life." Where the systems are those of member states of a federal union, there should be less difference in their laws than where they are those of sovereign nations divided by strong cultural, social and political barriers. Interstate conflicts and international conflicts are likely to give rise to somewhat different considerations and rules, and it is surely …

A New Deal For Fiduciaries' Stock Transfers, Alfred F. Conard
A New Deal For Fiduciaries' Stock Transfers, Alfred F. Conard
Michigan Law Review
For nearly one hundred years, executors and administrators have been struggling with the excessive documentation which corporations demand as a condition of recording stock transfers. For almost as long, legislatures have been passing laws in the hope-generally vain-of alleviating the burden.
In 1957, at least three states (and possibly four) opened a door through which estate representatives can emerge from their long bondage. For the first time, identical acts were passed in different states, and interstate recognition of simplification measures began. For the first time acts were passed which get to the root of the transfer agent's problem.

Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff brought an action under the Federal Employers' Liability Act to recover damages from the defendant employer for an industrial disease allegedly contracted more than three years prior to bringing suit. Plaintiff alleged that defendant misrepresented the time within which this action could be brought and thereby tolled the three-year statute of limitations in the FELA. Held, defendant's motion to dismiss granted. The time limitation is an integral part of the statute creating a substantive right and is not extended by fraud or misrepresentation. Glus v. Brooklyn Eastern District Terminal, (S.D. N.Y. 1957) 154 F. Supp. 863.
