What Is The Law? Ii, Joseph W. Bingham
What Is The Law? Ii, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
I shall now discuss briefly the nature of the causal effects of precedents upon judicial decisions and the justifications for those effects. One frequently hears laymen scoffing at the respect which courts pay to precedents and sometimes displaying a lamentable ignorance both of the nature of the influence which precedents have on the law and of the reasons for the existence of that influence. The influence of past example on human action pervades all human conduct and endeavor at all times. That influence is fundamental. It occurs through instinctive as well as intelligent processes and sometimes runs to unreasonable extents. …
The Liability Of A Principal For The Penal Or Criminal Acts Of His Agent, Floyd R. Meechem
The Liability Of A Principal For The Penal Or Criminal Acts Of His Agent, Floyd R. Meechem
Michigan Law Review
What Here Involved. In a previous article the question of the liability of a principal or master for the wilful or malicious acts of his servant or agent, was considered. It is proposed here to consider the liability of a principal or master for the penal or criminal acts of his agent or servant. This will involve two aspects: (a) The civil liability of the principal or master, and (b) His penal or criminal liability.
Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker
Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker
Michigan Law Review
Insolvency, no less than natural death, is a tragedy which comes into the midst of business transactions, fixing the claims of parties, and calling for the application of legal principles to determine the nature and extent of their rights. Perhaps no business relationship is more frequent than that of banker and customer or depositor. And while insolvency of banking institutions is happily less frequent than in the ordinary business, it is not so uncommon that questions therein are not often in the courts for adjudication. It would, therefore, be a natural deduction that the legal principles applicable should be comparatively …

Judicial Criticism Of Legislation By Courts, Charles G. Haines
Judicial Criticism Of Legislation By Courts, Charles G. Haines
Michigan Law Review
In the application of the doctrine of judicial review of legislative acts, the federal courts of the United States have not infrequently been criticised for usurping part of the functions of the legislature. The criticisms have increased to such an extent as to raise an issue of national significance. Recently, charges against the judiciary for the usurpation of legislative functions have been made rather frequently by the justices of our federal Supreme Comt. The late Associate Justice Harlan, dissenting in part from the reasoning of the majority of the court in the Standard Oil case, brought such a criticism against …

The Need Of A Scientific Study Of Crime, Crimninal Law, And Procedure--The American Institute Of Criminal Law And Criminology, Eugene A. Gilmore
Michigan Law Review
The multiplying instances of the delay or seeming miscarriage of justice, together with the indications that crime is not diminishing in this country, as it is in most progressive European countries, are responsible for the widespread feeling that American Criminal Law and Administration are ineffective as a corrective system, and thus fail adequately to protect society; that as President Taft puts it, "The administration of criminal law in this country is a disgrace to our civilization." Defective organization of courts, cumbrous and costly procedure and excessive emphasis on technicalities afford an undue advantage to the law-breaker of means and deepen …

What Is The Law?, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
It is intended that this title shall demand an analysis of the field of study in which the lawyer or jurist works and a determination of its essential and contributing elements. The purpose of the article is to sketch briefly a partial answer which will be instructive and helpful to the student who faces the problem as I faced it some ten years ago. I do not expect that anything new will be found in these ideas. I imagine that all of them must have been expressed many times before. Some of them are commonplace. None is esoteric. Probably the …

The Pelatiah Webster Myth, Edward S. Corwin
The Pelatiah Webster Myth, Edward S. Corwin
Michigan Law Review
For several years Mr. Hannis Taylor has been endeavoring to persuade the American public that the Constitution, instead of being the work of the Convention of 1787, acting under the guidance of men like Madison, Hamilton, Pinckney, Patterson, Ellsworth, and others of similar caliber, was really the invention of a single individual, Pelatiah Webster by name, whose fame, till Mr. Taylor's resurrection of it in The North American Review for August, 1907, had dropped quite out of historical notice. Since this first publication of his discovery, Mr.Taylor has returned to the attack time and time again, now in a memorial …

Restrictions On The Use Of Patented Articles, Edward S. Rogers
Michigan Law Review
The case of Henry v. Dick recently decided by the Supreme Court of the United States, has occasioned considerable unfavorable comment in the public press. It seems to be the opinion of many that the decision lays down a new principle of law, particularly adaptable to the working of a monopoly, and that the public is, under the supposed new principle, exposed to a practically unlimited exploitation by any patentee. It is believed that neither of these contentions is correct.
Procedural Law Reform, Willis B. Perkins
Procedural Law Reform, Willis B. Perkins
Michigan Law Review
It is said that under our present practice, no matter how just the verdict and judgment of the court below may be, no lawyer can guarantee that his case may not be reversed by the Supreme Court. Is this criticism well-founded in fact; and, if so, is it a reflection upon our present methods of legal procedure? The statisticians tell us that no less than twenty per cent of all the cases taken to our appellate courts relate to questions of practice, and that throughout the country in forty per cent of these cases new trials are granted. In our …

Implication Of Life Estates, Distributive Construction And Disposition Of Intermediate Income, Albert M. Kales
Michigan Law Review
The Problems Stated. Suppose a testator makes a devise or bequest to take effect after the death of A, without however expressly giving any interest to A. Does A take a life estate by implication? If not, what happens to the income or the rents and profits? Suppose a testator devise Blackacre to A for life and after the death of A said Blackacre together with other property is devised to B. Here three questions at once arise. Does A take a life estate by implication in the property other than Blackacre? If not, then are the words "after the …

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
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 Economic And Legal Basis Of Compulsory Industrial Insurance For Workmen I, James Harrington Boyd
Michigan Law Review
It is proposed to present to the readers of the Michigan Law Review, the economic and legal basis for the substitution of a new remedy, namely, compulsory industrial insurance for workingmen, in lieu of the common and statutory liability law remedies, as a means for compensating workmen who are injured in the due course of their employment. In Part I, it will be shown not only that the common (and liability) law remedy in its present form does not furnish compensation of any kind in to exceed 12% of the cases of injuries to employees, and even in those cases …
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 …
