Judicial Reform In Michigan Between Two Constitutions, 1835-1850, Clark F. Norton
Judicial Reform In Michigan Between Two Constitutions, 1835-1850, Clark F. Norton
Michigan Law Review
The first fifteen years of Michigan's existence as a state were marked by much experimentation and change in state government. In this short period two state constitutions, a basic constitutional amendment, two general revisions of the statutes, and numerous fundamental laws were enacted and put into effect. Both the legislative and executive branches underwent extensive renovation in these years, but it was the state court system in particular that was subjected to constant pressure for alteration and which was most radically modified, both in structure and procedure.
The Law School 1952-53, E. Blythe Stason
The Law School 1952-53, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
In reporting the current news of the Law School we must first speak of the students without whom the school would not exist. Another year has opened, this time with about a ten per cent reduction below last year in student enrollment, and consequently considerable relief from the rather overwhelming peaks of the earlier postwar years. Lawyers are deemed expendable in a military program, and, accordingly, a large proportion of college students intending to study law have, since the beginning of the Korean "police action" in 1950, been called to duty by their Selective Service boards immediately after graduation from …

A memorial issue commemorating fifty years of the Michigan Law Review would not be complete without at least a brief glance at some of the historical record.
Significant Developments In Labor Law During The Last Half-Century, Russell A. Smith
Significant Developments In Labor Law During The Last Half-Century, Russell A. Smith
Michigan Law Review
It is common knowledge that dramatic and almost revolutionary developments have taken place in labor law since the turn of the century. Indeed, "labor law" has only during this period achieved the distinction of a recognized branch of the law. Concurrently, trade unions have experienced an amazing growth, as well as changes in basic structure, and it may fairly be stated that the enlargement of the pertinent body of law has both stimulated and been influenced by the augmentation of union power. This article is intended as a survey of significant developments in the law, not as a treatment of …
Trends In Modern Corporation Legislation, Kenneth K. Luce
Trends In Modern Corporation Legislation, Kenneth K. Luce
Michigan Law Review
Any discussion of trends and developments in modem corporation legislation must assume some understanding of the historical antecedents of that legislation and the judicial approach to its interpretation. As a practical matter the outline of modern legislation has emerged within the memory of living men, but "in order to know what it is, we must know what it has been, and what it tends to become." The state is less concerned today than long ago about the corporation becoming a state within the state and usurping political power, although such concern could and does evidence itself from time to time. …
The Law Of Belligerent Occupation In The American Courts, Morris G. Shanker S.Ed.
The Law Of Belligerent Occupation In The American Courts, Morris G. Shanker S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
This comment will investigate the extent to which the law of belligerent occupation has actually become a part of the American municipal law, and thereby attempt to determine whether it was properly applied in this case.
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Iii, William F. Fratcher
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Iii, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
In England the impossibility of inter vivos creation of interests in expectancy in chattels and the unsuitability for the purpose of the devices of bailment and contract have tended to restrict attempts to restrain the alienation of chattels to the trust device and provisions in wills for forfeiture on alienation. The trust device involves equitable interests, which are beyond the scope of this study. In connection with a bequest of the use and occupation of chattels for life or a term of years the English courts would probably sustain the validity of a provision for forfeiture on alienation by way …
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Ii, William F. Fratcher
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: Ii, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
"Estate for life" is a generic term embracing interests in land of several types. The duration of such an estate may be measured by the life of the tenant himself, by the life of some other person, by the joint lives of a group of persons (i.e., the life of the member of the group who first dies), or by the life of the survivor of a group of persons. In the last two cases the tenant himself may or may not be a member of the group. When the duration of the estate is measured by the life of …
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: I, William F. Fratcher
Restraints On Alienation Of Legal Interests In Michigan Property: I, William F. Fratcher
Michigan Law Review
During the century and a half which followed the Norman Conquest, the owner of land who attempted to transfer it might meet with opposition from three interested parties, his feudal overlord, his heir apparent and his tenant. His feudal overlord might object to a transfer by way of substitution, that is, one under the terms of which the transferor did not retain a reversion; because the proposed transferee was not a suitable person to perform the feudal services due for the land. As these services were frequently of a personal or military nature such an objection was not necessarily captious. …

Constitutional Law - Civil Rights - First Amendment Freedoms-Reformulation Of The Clear And Present Danger Doctrine, Bernard A. Petrie
Constitutional Law - Civil Rights - First Amendment Freedoms-Reformulation Of The Clear And Present Danger Doctrine, Bernard A. Petrie
Michigan Law Review
In July 1948 the apostles of Communism in America were indicted under the conspiracy provisions of the Smith Act of 1940. The tension marking both the trial and the present era has obscured the constitutional problems and policy considerations involved. It is the purpose of this comment to trace the history of this cause celebre, Dennis et al. v. United States, and to examine its effect upon our constitutional notions of the permissible bounds of utterance, primarily by an analysis of the appellate opinions.
