Conflict Of Laws-Torts-Choice Of Law In Multiple State Defamation, Peter Van Domelen S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff, a Connecticut corporation engaged in business throughout several Eastern states, brought an action for an injunction and damages arising from alleged defamatory statements broadcast over defendant's radio network.

What may at first have been merely casual became through repetition a habit and the result has been to …
The 'Source Of Law' In The Panama Canal Zone, Joseph H. Drake
The 'Source Of Law' In The Panama Canal Zone, Joseph H. Drake
Articles
A case just decided in the Supreme Court of the United States, coming to that court from the Canal Zone, shows the great difficulties under which our courts labor when they are called on to interpret and administer the law in our extra-continental possessions. The courts have apparently had the most difficulty in amalgamating the Roman law and the common law in cases involving questions of delictual liability. In the case of Fernandez v. Perez (1906), 202 U. S. 80, the procedural question was presented as to the validity of an action on the case for the wrongful levy of …
