National Power And State Interposition 1787-1861, Edwin S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
Fifty years have elapsed since South Carolina pretended to leave the Union. Looking over recent writings of northern men on the constitutional phase of that momentous event, one will find among their authors a strong disposition to throw up the whole case on the question of the legal rightfulness of secession. For this phenomenon four reasons may be assigned : (1) sheer human indolence; (2) the fact that the apologetic zeal of the conquered is notoriously apt to overbear the conciliatory complacency of the conqueror; (3) the fact that by a species of intellectual inertia the mind of the student …

The State Governor Ii, John A. Fairlie
The State Governor Ii, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
The power of the governor over the executive administration includes on the one hand his general control over the whole administration, and on the other hand the special authority conferred in certain particular branches of administration. His general authority is based on his control over the personnel of the administration, by means of his powers of appointment and removal; and by his power to see that the laws are executed, and more specific authority to direct and control the actions of subordinate officials. His special administrative powers include those in relation to military affairs and the external affairs of the …

The State Governor I, John A. Fairlie
The State Governor I, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
In all the States of the American Union there is an official known as the governor, who is at the head of the executive department of the State government. Most of the State constitutions provide that "the supreme executive power" shall be vested in the governor; and in some States, the phrase "chief executive power" is used; while others have the simpler form, "the executive power," as found in the national constitution. The qualifying adjective, "supreme" or "chief," found in most of the State constitutions serves to indicate at the outset a difference in the position of the governor from …
Workmen's Compensation In Michigan, Hal H. Smith
Workmen's Compensation In Michigan, Hal H. Smith
Michigan Law Review
The Michigan Commission appointed by Governor Osborn to report upon Employers' Liability and Workmen's Compensation, and to present a law that would embody its conclusions, has formulated its report and laid the same before the Governor. The report deals with the subject from an economic standpoint in so far as it was found possible to divorce it from the legal problems that are so important to a practical and constitutional solution. Though the Commission has in its report made no particular reference to its views upon the legal questions involved, it is evident, that it must have arrived at a …

Recovery Of Salary By A De Facto Officer, W. Gordon Stoner
Recovery Of Salary By A De Facto Officer, W. Gordon Stoner
Articles
The de facto doctrine in the law of officers has been a continual source of difficulty to the courts for more than a century. Many questions connected with the application of this doctrine to this branch of the law have been settled beyond controversy. Even the phase of this question which the writer proposes to discuss cannot be classed as new or novel. Recent years, however, have seen the development of certain tendencies on the part of some of the American courts in the application of this doctrine, which will furnish the subject for the major part of our consideration.

The Law In The United States In Its Relation To Religion, Edwin C. Goddard

Man is a religious being. To him, everywhere and always, religion and religious institutions have been and will be of prime concern. He is also a social being. As such he has always found it necessary to live in an organized society, under some form of government. Man never has lived to himself alone. Government is not an invention, a necessary evil, to which men submit. On the contrary, from the most primitive beginnings it has been man's natural though imperfect instrument for controlling and developing the social estate so essential to his very existence. And universally this government has …
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler

In Wissinger v. Reed et al., 125 Pac. lO3O (Aug. 24, 1912) the Supreme Court of Washington held that actual possession of land for the statutory period would confer title upon the occupant, although the possession was under a mistaken belief of ownership. While the doctrine that title to real property may be acquired by adverse possession has been firmly established in English and American law for a great many years, no little difficulty and confusion have arisen in determining what possession is adverse, especially where the actual possession upon which the claim of title is based has been under …
