The Old Roman Law And A Modern American Code, Joseph H. Drake
The Old Roman Law And A Modern American Code, Joseph H. Drake
Michigan Law Review
In Book II, on Property, Ownership, and its Modifications, the Porto Rican Code follows closely its Spanish prototype. The main variation in general outline is the omission from the American code of the special property in minerals and in intellectual productions.
Liability Of A Master To Third Persons For The Negligence Of A Stranger Assisting His Servant, Floyd R. Mechem
Liability Of A Master To Third Persons For The Negligence Of A Stranger Assisting His Servant, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
Speaking generally, one person can only be liable for the negligence of another when he stands toward that other in the relation of master and servant. Speaking generally, also, one person can become the servant of another only with the latter's express or implied consent. That consent may be given by him in person or by some agent to whom the power of appointing servants for him has been delegated. Such a power may be expressly conferred or it may arise by implication. There is, for example, a large and familiar class of cases, not now necessary to be considered, …

Doctrine Of Stare Decisis, Edward B. Whitney

I am requested to present a paper whose theme is suggested by the Present Problems of Private Law, as distinguished from law that has a constitutional or international aspect. I doubt whether there is any other section of the Congress whose themes are so difficult to select. We cover, indeed, those branches that mainly concern the ordinary, plain, steady-going, stay-at-home, law-abiding citizen,-that multitude of questions among which most legal practitioners everywhere are wearing out their lives; working every day and all day upon Present Problems of Private Law. Each of those problems interests the parties to the particular litigation or …
The Old Common Law And The New Trusts, Ditlew M. Frederiksen
The Old Common Law And The New Trusts, Ditlew M. Frederiksen
Michigan Law Review
T HE Civil Code of Porto Rico, our latest Roman American code, gives interesting proof of the fact that the two systems of law, the Roman and the English, which control most of the nations of the civilized world and their dependencies, are, in their essence, but slightly different enunciations of the same principles of natural justice. The parent of the Civil Code of Porto Rico1 is the Spanish Civil Code,2 in force in Spain since May I, 1889, and extended to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines on July 31, 1889. The Spanish Civil-Code is the result of the …

Doctrine Of Waiver, Colin P. Campbell
Doctrine Of Waiver, Colin P. Campbell
Michigan Law Review
There is probably no doctrine of our law so much neglected in scientific discussion, and in legal text-books, as this principle which forms the theme of our essay. The reason for this is difficult to assign, for in point of importance this doctrine takes first rank; and while its boundaries are somewhat confused with the lines of demarcation between the law of contracts and the doctrine of equitable estoppel, it is in reality based upon a body of well established principles. Although much confusion among the cases in which this doctrine has been applied must be conceded, this disorder may …
Surrender, Herbert Thorndike Tiffany
Surrender, Herbert Thorndike Tiffany
Michigan Law Review
A "Surrender" is defined by Lord Coke as a yielding up of an estate for life or years to him that hath an immediate estate in reversion or remainder, wherein the estate for life or years may drown by mutual agreement between them. This statement has been followed, more or less closely, by such other writers as have undertaken to define the term, and there has never been any question made as to its substantial correctness. A surrender, then, is a particular mode or form of transfer, which derives its distinguishing characteristics from the fact that it is made by …

Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey
Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey
Michigan Law Review
The capture made by the Russian volunteer vessels in the Red Sea and by the Vladivostock fleet off the coast of Japan have revivified the question of the extent to which a belligerent may lawfully go in interfering with neutral commerce. Perhaps no question of international law has been prolific of more disputes than that of neutral rights. The intensity of feeling and desire for advantage incident to war are apt to cause belligerents to overlook neutral rights, and in their zeal to cripple an immediate enemy, to forget that they in turn will become neutrals and be transfixed by …

One Phase Of Federal Power Under The Commerce Clause Of The Constitution, John C. Donnelly
One Phase Of Federal Power Under The Commerce Clause Of The Constitution, John C. Donnelly
Michigan Law Review
No clause of the Federal Constitution, making a grant of power, has, by judicial interpretation, been declared so broad and comprehensive in its scope as that clause which empowers Congress "to regulate commerce with foreign nations and among the several states and with the Indian tribes." In one of the very first cases in which the Supreme Court was called upon to consider the scope of this provision, it was quite properly held that under it, navigation was one of the important subjects which came within the federal power. Under it navigation was not only an important subject considered by …

English History And The Study Of English Law, Arthur Lyon Cross
Michigan Law Review
Ranke, the Nestor of modern historical research, was wont to say that he only wanted to know how things had happened. Lamprecht, however, more truly indicated the aim and purpose of the investigation of the past when he said that be wanted to know how things had become. Another distinction between the schools which these two men represent is, that one is primarily interested in political affairs, while the other would include within the historical field all phases of social activity. A survey of the course of scholarship during the century just closed, leads to the conclusion that this latter …

French Jury System, Simeon E. Baldwin
French Jury System, Simeon E. Baldwin
Michigan Law Review
France has never adopted the principle of jury trials in civil cases. For criminal trials, it was introduced during the Revolution in 1790, and by a law of the next year any qualified elector: could be chosen as a juror. It has never, however, been extended beyond the decision of the issue between the accused and the public. If (as is permitted) when the offense for which the prosecution is brought has caused pecuniary injury to some private individual, he joins himself to the cause, as a party (partie civile), and claims judgment in his favor for the damages which …

Is The British Empire Constitutionally A Nation, Stephen B. Stanton
Michigan Law Review
The United Kingdom of course is a nation; its colonies respectively or collectively are not. How stands it with the Empire as a whole? The British "Interpretation Act" of 1889 has come to the rescue of the perplexed reader of such topics by defining certain much abused terms. "Colony," it defines as any part of His Majesty's Dominions exclusive of the British Islands and British India; "British Possession," as any part of His Majesty's Dominions exclusive of the United Kingdom; and "British Islands" as the United Kingdom together with the Channel Islands and Isle of Man. And "United Kingdom" of …

Rights Of Joint Owners Of A Patent, Dwight B. Cheever
Michigan Law Review
0wing to the fact that the courts have decided the question Squite at variance from the expectations of ordinary persons, there is, perhaps, no legal proposition in patent law more interesting or important than that of the rights of joint owners of a patent. The relationship may arise from the parties being joint inventors, by their being joint assignees from the inventor or previous owner, or by the most common method, of one being an assignee from the patentee of a fractional interest in a patent; frequently in consideration of paying the expense of procuring the patent.
