Early American Price-Fixing Legislation, Arthur S. Aiton Nov 1926

Early American Price-Fixing Legislation, Arthur S. Aiton

Michigan Law Review

One of the most pernicious delusions of legislators is the persistent notion that the enactment of a law is the panacea for any human ill from short sheets in hotels to the immodesty of certain styles of female apparel. The history of law-making is strewn with the wreckage of freak legislation of this character but the law-mills, heedless of the past, continue to spew forth new monstrosities and to revive old failures. That the human family cannot be legislated into a set mold of behavior and that the economic laws which underlie trade and intercourse cannot be enacted out of …


Imprisonment For Debt, Richard Ford Nov 1926

Imprisonment For Debt, Richard Ford

Michigan Law Review

Imprisonment for debt is usually thought of as a barbarous custom which declined continuously as civilization and Christianity advanced and which was totally done away with long ago. The facts, however, are otherwise. It seems doubtful if history warrants any generalization to the effect that the imprisonment of debtors has been a steadily declining practice. Certain it is, that in a greater or less degree it exists today in many parts of the United States, in England, and in some other countries. Moreover, creditors are making use of it on a comparatively large scale. It is the purpose of this …


Appeal Of Death Nov 1926

Appeal Of Death

Michigan Law Review

A note from Mr. Justice Riddell says: "In my paper, 'Appeal of Death and Its Abolition.' 24 MICH. L. REV. (June, 1926) at p. 793, it is said, 'when the widow was Appellor, the issue was tried by a jury because a woman could not fight.' While this was generally true, the statement indicating universality was made per incuriam of course, the trial was sicut curia consideraverit; and sometimes Battel was awarded in the case of a woman-appellor.

Appeal Of Death And Its Abolition, William Renwick Riddell Jun 1926

Appeal Of Death And Its Abolition, William Renwick Riddell

Michigan Law Review

The Appeal of Death-or, as it is sometimes called, the Appeal of Murder, because it was generally invoked in cases of murder although cases of manslaughter were also within its scope-was an interesting survival of ancient law which continued its existence in England until a little more than a century ago, and which, when it fell, brought down a mass of crumbling and antiquated rubbish, which served no good purpose and might-sometimes did-do harm.

Erring Judges Of The Thirteenth Century, William Renwick Riddell Feb 1926

Erring Judges Of The Thirteenth Century, William Renwick Riddell

Michigan Law Review

The Royal Historical Society (of London) has published much material of great interest to lawyers-an humble Fellow, I think none is more interesting than that published in 1906: "State Trials of the Reign of Edward the First, 1289-1293".

Shrinking Bill Of Rights, Clarence Emmett Manion Jan 1926

Shrinking Bill Of Rights, Clarence Emmett Manion

Journal Articles

The assertion of intrinsic, God given rights correlated with the decline of monarchical power. The United States’ understanding that all men and women are endowed with unalienable rights was a long and hard-fought conclusion. However, this article argues that the Bill of Rights has gradually changed from being the bold guardian of individual liberty originally envisioned. Ironically, this change can be attributed to the courts and the legislature.

The Law School And The Professional Tradition, Roscoe Pound Dec 1925

The Law School And The Professional Tradition, Roscoe Pound

Michigan Law Review

Only historians know that Michigan, Illinois and Wisconsin were once, at least in legal theory, governed by the Custom of Paris. That fact has not left a mark upon the actual law of any of those jurisdictions. Nor is the reason far to seek. In the pioneer days of the French occupation of this part of North America there was little scope for such law as is to be found in books. There was need only for a rude administration of offhand justice in the simple concerns of a frontier society. And had there been need for anything more, the …


The New Holdsworth, Arthur Lyon Cross Nov 1925

The New Holdsworth, Arthur Lyon Cross

Michigan Law Review

In view of the fact that Pollock and Maitland do not go beyond the time of Edward I and Reeves no further than Elizabeth's reign, Professor Holdsworth, in publishing a revision and extension to the eighteenth century of his well known work, ventures to point out that it is "the first continuous history of English law that has ever been written". And so it is, to the point to which he has carried it thus far. One more volume at least is promised in the near future; while it is to be hoped that subsequent contributions may ultimately appear. "From …

A Modern Instance Of Zenothemis V. Demon, John M. Zane

Michigan Law Review

That a specific rule in Greek law should be of value to the decision of a legal question arising among us would seem at first blush improbable. Both the historical and analytical jurists have insisted so strongly upon the causes which tend to make any system of positive law something peculiar in itself that they have obscured the fact that the rules of substantive law are quite likely to be the same for like circumstances among nations which have reached a comparatively high level of civilization. The now dominant school of juristic thought, which teaches what its foremost exponent has …


International Law, Edwin D. Dickinson Jan 1925

International Law, Edwin D. Dickinson

Reviews

Professor Dickson reviews "International Law," by C. G. Fenwick, noting that there are many such books available on the topic: monographs, casebooks, digests, collections of documents etc. He finds some of the material worthy of passing criticism and notes that "The chapters vary somewhat in quality and quantity." But Dickinson also praises "the fine tone of impartiality which makes it possible to present matters both recent and controverted in the restrained and temperate manner of the true scientist."
