The Beveridge Child Labor Bill And The United States As Parens Patriae, Andrew Alexander Bruce
The Beveridge Child Labor Bill And The United States As Parens Patriae, Andrew Alexander Bruce
Michigan Law Review
Although strenuous opposition has been encountered in the courts whenever an attempt has been made by the legislatures to interfere with the contractual freedom of adults in matters pertaining to the contract of employment, the right of interference in the case of children has been always conceded. From an early time minors have been placed under contractual disability by the law and have been looked upon as wards of the State. Having denied to them a full measure of contractual freedom, the State can hardly deny an equivalent protection; in fact the rule of contractual disability is in a large …

The Constitutionality Of Federal Legislation Concerning Employer And Employee Engaged In Interstate And Foreign Commerce, Carl V. Wisner
The Constitutionality Of Federal Legislation Concerning Employer And Employee Engaged In Interstate And Foreign Commerce, Carl V. Wisner
Michigan Law Review
To what extent does the relation of employer and employee, when engaged in interstate or foreign commerce, come within the regulating power of Congress? The power of Congress to legislate concerning employer and employee, where the service is rendered in interstate or foreign commerce, has been recently questioned in several important Federal decisions. The ground on which such legislation has been challenged is that it is an attempt by Congress to regulate what is not commerce, that "creating new liabilities growing out of the relations of master and servant on the one hand and regulating commerce on the other are …

The Scottish Jury, Rufus Fleming
The Scottish Jury, Rufus Fleming
Michigan Law Review
The origin of the jury is one of the subjects on which an agreement has not been. reached by writers on the history of law. A number of theories have been put forward at different times. At this day two of these theories receive considerable support. The first is that the jury system is a gradual and natural sequence from the modes of trial in use among the Anglo-Saxons and Anglo-Normans. The second-and perhaps the one more widely accepted at present-is that we owe trial by jury to the legal institutions of the Frankish empire. (Forsyth's "History of Trial by …

Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Professor Kales And Common Law Remainders, Joseph W. Bingham
Michigan Law Review
In an article in Vol. 22 of the Law Quarterly Review, Professor Albert M. Kales presents a reclassification of future interests in land, the salient feature of which is an attempt to overthrow the conventional conception of a contingent remainder as a future estate given, not presently, but on condition precedent, and to substitute an entirely new conception of his own. This effort, by its boldness and novelty commands something more than a mere passing mention. It is my purpose, first to present as briefly as is consistent with clearness what I conceive to be the common law theory of …
Commercial Aspect Of Uniform State Laws, Francis B. James
Commercial Aspect Of Uniform State Laws, Francis B. James
Michigan Law Review
A T the close of the American Revolution and even after the adoption of the articles of Confederation, each American State was not only a political unit but an industrial and commercial unit. Meafis of communication were few and cost of transportation almost prohibitive except in border and coast cities. Each State not only determined its political future but its own industrial and commercial policy. The Constitution of the United States, adopted in 1789, recognized the fact that each State continued as a political unit and at the same time created another political unit, the nation at large. It also …

Humanistic, And Paticularly Classical, Studies, As A Preparation For The Law, Harry B. Hutchins
Michigan Law Review
Aside from the elementary branches, no particular subject is absolutely essential as a basis for the study and practice of the law. In this respect the law occupies a place somewhat different from that of the other learned professions. The student and practitioner of medicine must of necessity get a substantial scientific foundation for his professional work. This for him is an absolutely essential prerequisite. For the professional courses in engineering, a special and definite scientific preparation must be made. Without it nothing but the most ordinary work in engineering can be accomplished. And it is probable that for theology, …
Some Suggested Changes In The Constitution Of Michigan, John A. Fairlie
Some Suggested Changes In The Constitution Of Michigan, John A. Fairlie
Michigan Law Review
In April of last year the proposition to call a convention to revise the Constitution of Michigan was adopted by a substantial popular vote. The approach of the time when this Convention will be called suggests the advisability of discussing at least some of the changes which may be proposed. For while the full debate on proposed changes must take place in the Convention and after its work is submitted for popular ratification, it is important that some definite ideas should be publicly considered even before the delegates are elected. At the outset it should be understood that if the …

The Commerce Clause Of The Federal Constitution And Two Recent Cases Dealing With It, S. S. Gregory
Michigan Law Review
In the historic case of M'Culloch v. Maryland, CHIEF Justice Marshall said, referring to the Federal Government: "This government is acknowledged by all to be one of enumerated powers. The principle that it can exercise only the powers granted to it, would seem too apparent to have required to be enforced by all those arguments which its enlightened friends, while it was depending before the people, found it necessary to urge. That principle is now universally admitted, but the question respecting the extent of the powers actually granted is perpetually arising and will probably continue to arise as long as …

Thomas Mcintyre Cooley, Jerome C. Knowlton
Michigan Law Review
In the early fifties, there were four young men practicing at the bar of the State of Michigan who became so influential during the formative period in the jurisprudence of the state that we cannot name one of them without thinking of the others. James V. Campbell, Isaac P. Christiancy, Thomas M. Cooley arid Benjamin F. Graves came from New York parentage and from New England stock. The three last name received their education in the primary schools and academies of New York. As young men seeking their future they came west and settled in different parts of this state. …

Japanese School Incident At San Francisco From The Point Of View Of International And Constitutional Law, Theodore P. Ion.
Michigan Law Review
The act of the Board of Education of San Francisco in assigning to Japanese pupils separate school buildings, has been the occasion of a diplomatic incident which, although insignificant in itself, may lead to far reaching consequences both in regard to the internal affairs and the external relations of the country. It is neither the first, nor will it probably be the last sign, of the struggle for equality of the yellow with the white man, which may subsequently be emphasized in a more tangible, if not abrupt manner, resulting in a clash between the two races: the one, trying …

Michigan Law Review
With two bodies dealing in general with the subject of legal education, the Section of Legal Education and this Association, meeting annually, and with occasionally a third, the Conference of State Boards of Law Examiners, each endeavoring to present papers and arouse discussion, it is obvious that the number of new questions which anyone may hope to suggest is necessarily, small. Most of the important questions have already been discussed, many of them more than once, and anything which is now presented is likely to smack of the truism or the platitude. The very remarkable increase, however, both in the …

Monroe Doctrine Its Status, John F. Simmons
Monroe Doctrine Its Status, John F. Simmons
Michigan Law Review
In 1895. President Cleveland in his message to Congress in regard to what has come to be known as the "Venezuela affair" said the Monroe Doctrine "has its place in the code of international law as certainly and as securely as if it were specifically mentioned." To test the accuracy of this statement we must determine as closely as possible what the Monroe Doctrine is and what is the correct meaning of the term "code of international law." Having settled our definitions the issue will be clearly defined and its discussion possibly profitable.

Isaac Peckham Christiancy, Joseph B. Moore

Isaac P. Christiancy was born on the 12th of March, 1812, at Johnstown, New York. His life is another of, the many illustrations that great as are the advantages of the possession of wealth, when properly used, and the opportunity of attending the higher institutions of learning, they are not essentials to the attaining of great influence and a position of well deserved eminence. His education was obtained by attending the district schools, supplemented by a short term in the academy at Dow, New York. He was an omnivorous reader of such books, magazines and newspapers as were obtainable by …
