Compulsory Construction Of New Lines Of Railroad, Kenneth F. Burgess
Compulsory Construction Of New Lines Of Railroad, Kenneth F. Burgess
Michigan Law Review
In the half century of public regulation of railroads in the United States, regulatory legislation has dealt primarily with functions incident to the operation of existing enterprises. The basic concept has been that railroad corporations as common carriers have voluntarily assumed obligations to the public which the public has a right to require to be performed.
Social And Economic Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robert Eugene Cushman
Social And Economic Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robert Eugene Cushman
Michigan Law Review
For those who love precision and definiteness the question of the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to social and economic problems remains an irritating enigma. The judicial construction of due process of law and the equal protection of the law has from the first discouraged systematic analysis and defied synthesis. More than one writer has emerged from the study of the problem with a neat and compact set of fundamental principles, only to have the Supreme Court discourteously ignore them in its next case. But paradoxical as it may seem, those who long for a wise and forward-looking solution of …
Certiorari As Used By The Supreme Court In The Interest Of Harmony Of Opinion And Uniformity Of The Law, W. W. Graves
Certiorari As Used By The Supreme Court In The Interest Of Harmony Of Opinion And Uniformity Of The Law, W. W. Graves
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
It is not my purpose to discuss the writ of certiorari in general, but only such writ as used by the Supreme Court and as directed to the several Courts of Appeals in the interest of harmony of the case law of the state. But whilst this is the purpose I have in mind, yet some general thoughts are not inappropriate. In Missouri we have no general statutes covering the subject of certiorari, as we have covering prohibition, mandamus, habeas corpus and quo warranto. In most respects we use the writ as recognized at common law, and it is no …

Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Michigan Law Review
One of the familiar measures of the Union administration during the Civil War was the suspension of the habeas corpus privilege and the consequent subjection of civilians to military authority. The essential irregularity of such a situation in American law is especially conspicuous when one considers its inevitable sequel-namely, the protection of military and civil officers from such prosecution as would normally follow invasion of private rights and actual injury of persons and property. Such protection was supplied by a bill of indemnity passed in 1863, and this law, with its amendment of i866, forms a significant chapter in the …

The Basis of Relief from Penalties and Forfeitures - The equitable principle of relief from penalties and forfeitures is so far elementary as almost to defy analysis. Many, perhaps most, of the judicial explanations of the principle have based it upon interpretation or construction, appealing to the doctrine that equity regards intent rather than form. Yet a logical application of this doctrine would lead to results very different from those which have actually been arrived at in the decisions. Thus, a stipulation in a mortgage that the mortgagor waives his equity of redemption can hardly be interpreted as meaning that …
Supreme Court's Construction Of The Federal Constitution In 1920-1921, Thomas Reed Powell
Supreme Court's Construction Of The Federal Constitution In 1920-1921, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
Cases Arising under the Constitution or Laws of the United States. The question whether a case presents a "federal question," so called, is raised in a number of the controversies in which the asserted federal question was considered and answered. Only a few of these instances need special mention. In Hartford Life Ins. Co. v. Blincoe,3 after reversal by the Supreme Court of a state judgment against a defendant, a second judgment was rendered by the state court on different grounds. These included holding an assessment on an insurance policy to be void for the inclusion of a state tax …

Supreme Court's Construction Of The Federal Constitution In 1920-1921, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
While the Constitution does not in terms forbid the United States, as it forbids the states, to pass any law impairing the obligation of contracts, the principle has become established that contracts made by the United States may create rights of which individuals may not be divested. This principle is attached to the Fifth Amendment's prohibition against depriving any person of property without due process of law. In applying this principle, United States v. Northern Pacific Ry. Co.2 held that a grant of land to a railroad to induce its construction is a contract, and that provisions for substituting indemnity …
Ex Post Facto In The Constitution, Oliver P. Field
Ex Post Facto In The Constitution, Oliver P. Field
Michigan Law Review
Any study of the ex post facto clauses of the Constitution NwYh icshtu ddyid onf ott hceo mexm epnocset fwaicthto ac lcaousnessid eorfa titohne oCfo nCstaitludteiro nv'. Bull2 would not conform to good practice. The text writers and the commentators uniformly begin their treatment of ex post facto laws by citing it as the leading case, and setting forth its doctrine. There is singular agreement as to the correctness of the holding of the case.3 The statement given by Cooley is typical: "At an early day it was settled by authoritative decision, in opposition to what might seem the more …

Supreme Court's Construction Of The Federal Constitution In 1920-1921, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
The difficulty of classifying cases on the police power has not evaporated since the review of decisions for the preceding year. The headings there suggested are used here. Classification on the basis of the objects of the legislation appears too precarious to be attempted with any confidence. It seems safer to work along the line of the subject matters with which the legislation deals. Certain topics are species of a wider genus, and thus the same case may be put in two or more groups. Readers who are dissatisfied with the classification adopted may be assured of the sympathy of …
