Federal Courts - The Scope Of The Review Of Interlocutory Orders And Decrees Under Section 129, As Amended, Of The Federal Judicial Code, Gerald M. Lively
Federal Courts - The Scope Of The Review Of Interlocutory Orders And Decrees Under Section 129, As Amended, Of The Federal Judicial Code, Gerald M. Lively
Michigan Law Review
In early English appellate practice, the appealability of orders and decrees from a court of equity turned upon a single arbitrary test-whether or not they were enrolled. If an order or decree of the chancellor was enrolled, an appeal could be taken. But in the United States the case was different. In considering whether or not an order or decree could be appealed from, the appellate court looked to see whether it was interlocutory or final, and it was only the latter which could be appealed. Thus in the United States if it is found desirable to have an appeal …

Revocation Of Wills By Subsequent Change In The Condition Or Circumstances Of The Testator, Elizabeth Durfee
Revocation Of Wills By Subsequent Change In The Condition Or Circumstances Of The Testator, Elizabeth Durfee
Michigan Law Review
Among the oldest rules in the law of wills are those by which a will is held to be revoked by implication by certain changes in the circumstances of the testator. The purpose of this paper is to investigate these rules. Special reference will be made to statutes, both those which deal generally with the subject and those which provide specifically for the effect of particular events, such as marriage; no attempt will be made, however to analyze the latter type of statute exhaustively. By way of introduction, a brief historical survey of the doctrine should be made.
