Reception Of The Roman Law In Germany, Charles Sumner Lbingier
Reception Of The Roman Law In Germany, Charles Sumner Lbingier
Michigan Law Review
As in other countries. it was the universities which prepared the way for the Reception of Roman Law in Germany. Many of those great institutions which still .lead the world in learning date from about the middle of the thirteenth century, and instruction in foreign law was offered from the beginning. At first the emphasis was placed on the Canon law -but chairs of Roman law were established at Heidelberg in 1387, at Basel in 146o, at Ingolstadt in 1472, at Tfibingen in 1477, at Freiburg in 1479, at Vienna in 1493 and at Greifswald in 1498, and were filled …
Form Of The General Acceptance, F Thulin
Form Of The General Acceptance, F Thulin
Michigan Law Review
Of the various subdivisions of the law of commercial paper, the form of the acceptance is one that in a way has had the most diversified history. Furthermore, from its very nature, and from the fact that the law merchant was very seldom touched by statute, and from the fact that the common law attached no particular significance toa writing (except as to writings under seal and as to writings required by the Statute of Frauds), the form of the acceptance was possible of a rather elaborate analysis.
Power Of The President Over Foreign Affairs, Allen Welsh Dulles
Power Of The President Over Foreign Affairs, Allen Welsh Dulles
Michigan Law Review
In a recent article former Assistant Attorney General James M. Beck challenges the constitutionality of the measures which President Wilson has taken in the carrying out of the foreign affairs policy of this government. While his criticism is especially directed against the action of the President in appointing such confidential agents as John Lind and Colonel House without the consent of the Senate, he makes the sweeping assertion that the President must share the general control of foreign affairs with the Senate. Mr. Beck's position is clearly shown in the following quotations from his article: "Those provisions of the Constitution …

Inquiry Concerning Justice, Floyd R. Mechem
Inquiry Concerning Justice, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
Justice, said Daniel Webster, "is the greatest interest of man on earth." Alexander Hamilton, in the Federalist, declared "Justice is the end of government. It is the end of civil society. It has ever been, and ever will be, pursued until it be obtained, or until liberty be lost in the pursuit."
Church Cemeteries In The American Law, Carl Zollmann
Church Cemeteries In The American Law, Carl Zollmann
Michigan Law Review
One of the most usual sights in any rural community in the United States is a church edifice with a cemetery in the immediate neighborhood. This condition of affairs, where a church society antedates the municipal corporation within whose limits it exists, can even occasionally be found in populous cities. Such cases, however, are fast disappearing. The demands of commerce and the doctrines of modern sanitation are too strong to be resisted. When a cemetery situated in the heart of a city is not abandoned on account of the monetary inducements held out by commercial interests, the law-making power of …

Attempt, Assault, and Assault with Intent - The case of State v. Lewis, decided in October, 1915, by the Supreme Court of Iowa, has an interesting bearing upon the law of assault and of criminal attempts. Two men, Tropp and Cox, observed a third, Dunlevy, asleep on a cot with a pocketbook under his pillow. Tropp armed himself with a leather sap and a loaded revolver and moved quietly to the head of the cot, when Dunlevy, feeling the presence of some one in the room, sprang to his feet. Tropp fled from the room with Dunlevy after him, but …

Charter Amending Powers Of Cities Under Michigan Home-Rule Legislation, Robert R. Jacobson
Charter Amending Powers Of Cities Under Michigan Home-Rule Legislation, Robert R. Jacobson
Michigan Law Review
The recent development in Michigan of the idea of home-rule for cities and villages makes the relation of municipal to state government there a matter of particular interest at the present time. The constitution of 1908 provided that the legislature should pass general laws giving to cities and villages the power to construct their own charters.1 The next two assemblies both attempted to frame statutes in accord with this general provision, 2 but the decisions of the Supreme Court in a number of important cases showed that these acts failed of their purpose. Having found that under the constitution as …
Courts In The Philippines Old New, David Cecil Johnson
Courts In The Philippines Old New, David Cecil Johnson
Michigan Law Review
Administration of justice, involving the settlement of disputes and the punishment of crime, is and always has been a vital function of government; in fact, it might well be said to be the basis of all orderly government. The experiment in government which was begun by the American people when they separated themselves from the domination of England reached a new stage in its development when Admiral Dewey was victorious in Manila Bay on May i, 1898. It is perhaps impossible to determine at this time whether this new stage is to result in an attempt at colonization or in …

Recovery of the Purchase Price Before Title Has Passed - In an action recently instituted' by The General Electric Co. to recover on a contract to manufacture certain machinery for the defendant, which machinery the defendant had refused to accept, the trial court adopted the contract price as the measure of damages. The upper court approved this measure of damages, rejecting the argument that the measure should have been the difference between the market value and the contract price, and dismissed, as no longer appropriate to modern conditions, the decisions in Bement v. Smith, 15 Wend. (N. Y.) 493, and …

Can a Manufacturer be Compelled to Sell? - The fight for price maintenance is not yet completely settled, despite, the decisions in Dr. Miles Medical Company v. Parks & Sois Company, and Baiter & Cie v. O'Donnell, which held invalid contracts, whether nominally of agency, or of sale, between manufacturer and wholesaler or jobber whereby the latter in purchasing agreed himself to maintain and to sell only to others who would maintain a schedule of prices established by the manufacturer. But there are more ways than one of maintaining prices. One of these is to refuse to sell to persons …
Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Michigan Law Review
In considering the powers and liabilities of the military in dealing with the citizen, the question of what a subordinate is to do when confronted by a conflict between the law and military orders is a difficult and interesting one. Sections 15 and 16 of the Code (the draft of which is submitted herewith), deal with illegal orders. The general rule is that persons engaged in the military service of the state or nation can find no justification in the illegal orders of a superior officer if such orders are so manifestly illegal that a man of ordinary sense could …
Indivdual Interests In The Domestic Relations, Roscoe Pound
Indivdual Interests In The Domestic Relations, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
It is important to distinguish the individual interests in domestic relations from the social interest in the family and marriage as social institutions. This social interest must play an important part in determining what individual interests in such relations are to be secured, how far they are to be secured and how they are to be secured. Yet its chief significance is not in connection with securing interests in the domestic relations against the rest of the world but rather in connection with the conflicting interests of the parties to such relations among themselves, the curtailments of normal legal capacity …
Equity In Rem, Edgar N. Durfee
Equity In Rem, Edgar N. Durfee
Michigan Law Review
Perhaps the most important legal publication of the past year is a monograph, by Charles Andrews Huston, which is published as the first volume of Harvard Studies in jurisprudence. It is inscribed as a dissertation submitted to the faculty of Harvard Law School in compliance with the terms of the Research Scholarship, and is dedicated to Roscoe Pound, to whom, the author tells us in his preface, he is indebted for the suggestion of the field of investigation, for constant inspiration, and for concrete suggestion and criticism.

Civil Law And The Common Law A World Survey, R W. Lee
Civil Law And The Common Law A World Survey, R W. Lee
Michigan Law Review
In universities and other seats of learning, where men devote themselves to the pursuit of truth, certain great events or movements in the world's history claim attention as essentially and always proper subjects of investigation. Whatever the future may bring, we can hardly suppose a time when the art of Greece, the literature of England, the religions of the East will not be studied. Nor before an assembly of lawyers is it necessary to urge the claims of a great system of law as a subject which may well engage the amplest resources of the human intellect. For many centuries …
Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Qualified Martial Law A Legislative Proposal, Henry Winthrop Ballantine
Michigan Law Review
When it is considered that there has been scarcely a year since the beginning of the Government that the Army has not been called upon to quell disturbances too great for the state authorities to handle; and that during the last thirty-five years the state troops have been called out more than five hundred times, the extent to which we are dependent upon the military are as a police force may be better realized.

The Form of the Summons Under the Recent Michigan Judicature Act - It would be rather remarkable if in revising such a large portion of the statutes as was undertaken by the Commission on Revision and Consolidation of Statutes of the State of Michigan, appointed in 1913, which reported to the legislature the recently enacted Judicature Act (Public Acts of Michigan, 915, § 314), some ambiguity or uncertainty were not to appear in the revision. The Judicature Act is no exception to the general rule, as the lawyer who attempts to begin suit by summons under it will discover at …
Law Of Percolating Waters, Jno B. Clayberg
Law Of Percolating Waters, Jno B. Clayberg
Michigan Law Review
Percolating waters are well understood as being underground waters. Underground waters have been from time immemorial divided into two general classes, namely: (a) flowing stream's, and (b) percolating waters. Percolating waters are divided by text writers into several distinct classes. No two text writers seem to have adopted the same classification. Such classifications are all more or less unimportant insofar as the application of the law is concerned. There cannot be any difference between percolating water which is diffuse and percolating water which reaches the channel of a stream or its sub-flow. All percolating water, unless detained by some natural …

Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Nature Of American Religious Corporations, Carl Zollman
Michigan Law Review
From the earliest period of our history it has been recognized that corporate existence and capacity is desirable if not indispensable in order to carry on the affairs of the various church societies in the most efficient manner. Accordingly various forms of religious corporations have been developed. Of these the earliest, namely the territorial parish and the corporation sole, grew out of the then existing union of church and state. They were public municipal corporations and passed away with the system which had given them birth. Their place was taken by other church corporations of which there are three principal …
Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer
Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer
Michigan Law Review
This subject has already received the attention of jurists. In 1872 von Jhering in his famous lecture "The Struggle for Law"' criticised severely the established admiration of the speech of Portia. von Jhering attacked this speech with great vigour and indeed spoke of it as a miserable subterfuge - the rabulous trick of a pettifogger. He finds that through this speech a truly tragic lot befell Shylock; a fate brought about by the usurer's lawful struggle for his rights, and through which the law of Venice was transfigured.
