Railroads - Abandonment - Power Of Interstate Commerce Commission To Authorize Abandonment Subject To Conditions For Protection Of Employees, Robert D. Ulrich
Michigan Law Review
The railroad applied to the Interstate Commerce Commission for permission to carry out a general program of rearrangement involving the abandonment of certain lines. The union appeared, and contended that if the commission were to grant the order, it should incorporate conditions for the benefit of employees who would be displaced or otherwise prejudiced by the abandonment.

Negligence - Last Clear Chance - Distinction Between The Possibility And The Probability Of Averting The Accident, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff and her companion, both unaware of the defendant's approaching automobile, negligently drove onto a highway along which the defendant was driving at a high rate of speed. When thirty to forty feet away from the plaintiff, the defendant sounded his horn, applied the brakes, and swerved his car, but was unsuccessful in avoiding the collision. The trial court directed a verdict for the defendant. Held, judgment for the defendant reversed since the jury might have found: that defendant should have realized plaintiff's danger when he was one hundred and twenty feet away from the plaintiff; that although …
