Trusts And Estates - Relationship By Affinity-Meaning Of The Word "Stepchild" In A Tax Statute, Harold S. Lentz S. Ed. Dec 1951

Trusts And Estates - Relationship By Affinity-Meaning Of The Word "Stepchild" In A Tax Statute, Harold S. Lentz S. Ed.

Michigan Law Review

A widower with two children married Sarah Bordeaux and predeceased her. A child of the marriage died in infancy. The two children were raised by Sarah as if she had been their natural mother. A strong filial relationship developed, and at the death of Sarah in 1949, the bulk of her property passed to the two children by will. The inheritance tax division of the tax commission contended that the relationship by affinity had been terminated and that the children, no longer being "stepchildren," were not entitled to the lower tax rates under Class A of the inheritance tax statute …

The Fourteenth Amendment And The "Separate But Equal" Doctrine, Joseph S. Ransmeier Dec 1951

The Fourteenth Amendment And The "Separate But Equal" Doctrine, Joseph S. Ransmeier

Michigan Law Review

Recent cases in which the Court has overthrown enforced separation in public higher education on the ground of inequality but without consideration of the merits of the separate but equal rule have been the occasion for an outpouring of law review discussion on the subject. The present paper is a part of this stream. Its purpose is two-fold: first, to set forth the judicial history of the modern separate but equal rule, noting its pre-Fourteenth Amendment origin and the rather uncritical manner in which courts permitted it to infiltrate its way from one area of the law to another; and …

Torts-Right Of Unemancipated Minor To Recover Prom Parent For Intentional Tort, William O. Allen S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff, a child four years of age, was present when her mother was murdered by her father, defendant's intestate. After keeping plaintiff with the corpse for six days, the father drove plaintiff to his home, where he committed suicide in plaintiff's presence. Plaintiff brought an action against the father's estate for shock, mental anguish, and resulting physical injuries, caused by the father's atrocious acts.

A minor may maintain an action against its parent …

Alimony In Washington: A Note To The Legislature, Ramón E. Brown May 1951

Alimony In Washington: A Note To The Legislature, Ramón E. Brown

Washington Law Review

The award of permanent alimony upon a divorce a vinculo, though involving the judicial process, is historically and theoretically dependent upon such power as the legislature of the particular jurisdiction deems fit to confer upon the courts. The Washington court has necessarily recognized this since in every case where the point was raised the court looked to the statutes for its authority. The divorce act now in effect, however, does not confer such power upon the courts! Undoubtedly there have been many awards of alimony since the passage of the present divorce act in 1949, but not under it. Unless …


Conflicts Of Law-Divorce-Canadian Choice Of Law, Paul M.D. Harrison S.Ed. May 1951

Conflicts Of Law-Divorce-Canadian Choice Of Law, Paul M.D. Harrison S.Ed.

Michigan Law Review

When the problem confronting the judge is one of recognizing a divorce decree awarded by a foreign state, then once again the domiciliary concept will be used to determine the jurisdictional competency of the court making the award. The foreign divorce decree will be accepted as lawful and proper if it was given by the court of the husband's domicile or if the decree is one which would be accepted as valid by that court. The authority underlying the latter proposition originates in the case of Armitage v. Attorney-General. It is the purpose of this comment to examine briefly …
