Instalment Payment Of Judgments, Frederick Woodbridge
Instalment Payment Of Judgments, Frederick Woodbridge
Michigan Law Review
This article is concerned primarily with a discussion of satisfaction of judgments by instalment payments where the judgment debtor is the typical American wage earner. It is based upon an analysis of the applicable statutes, the experience recorded in decided cases, interviews with numerous judges administering the statutes, and observations in certain of the courts where that method is used.
Substance And Procedure In The Conflict Of Laws, Edgar H. Ailes
Substance And Procedure In The Conflict Of Laws, Edgar H. Ailes
Michigan Law Review
It is perhaps the most inveterate doctrine of the conflict of laws that all questions of procedure in a given instance are governed by the lex fori, or the law of the court invoked, regardless of the law under which the substantive rights of the parties accrued. For seven centuries, at least, courts and lawyers have broadly stated or assumed to be axiomatic the rule that substantive rights are fixed and immutable whilst the procedural devices by which such rights may be vindicated and enforced depend solely upon the law of the forum.
