The American Bar Association: Its Organization, History And Achievements, W. Thomas Kemp, Joseph R. Taylor May 1928

The American Bar Association: Its Organization, History And Achievements, W. Thomas Kemp, Joseph R. Taylor

Washington Law Review

The American Bar Association holds its fifty-first annual meeting in Seattle, Washington, July 25, 26, 27, 1928. This is the Semi-Centennial meeting of the Association and special preparations are being made to make the occasion notable, and it is therefore appropriate that the whole bar of Washington who have so courteously invited the National Association to Seattle this year, should know something about the organization, history and achievements of the largest and one of the oldest organizations of lawyers in the world. A considerable portion of the bar of Washington are already members of the National Association, and to them …

The New Forfeiture Clause Test In Executory Contracts For The Sale Of Real Estate, Alfred J. Schweppe

Washington Law Review

The principle of Ashford v. Reese does not yet seem to have come to rest. In the recent case of Aylward v. Lally the supreme court has added another chapter on the legal relationship of vendor and purchaser, the incidents of which in this state at the present time are none too well defined.

Bench And Bar, Anon May 1928

Bench And Bar, Anon

Washington Law Review

With this number the Law Review establishes a new department which will be devoted to the activities of the members of the bench and bar. This will include not only items of large importance such as the work of the State Bar Association, but also items concerning the work of other agencies composed largely of lawyers, e.g., the local bar associations, Prosecuting Attorneys Association, Superior Judges Association, Judicial Council, and similar bodies. It is proposed that there shall appear in this department from time to time legal news of general interest to the bar and comments on such new methods …


Rights Of Vendees Under Executory Contracts Of Sale, George D. Lantz Mar 1928

Rights Of Vendees Under Executory Contracts Of Sale, George D. Lantz

Washington Law Review

It has been held by the Supreme Court of the State of Washington in a number of cases, that an executory contract to sell either real or personal property, generally designated as a conditional sales or installment contract, does not create in the vendee or buyer any legal or equitable interest in the property In so far as the rule applies to real property, there was a disposition on the part of many members of the bar to adversely criticise those decisions and to become fearful of their effect upon the status of the vendee's rights, after the court decided …

Res Judicata As Between Joint Tort-Feasors, George D. Lantz Jun 1927

Res Judicata As Between Joint Tort-Feasors, George D. Lantz

Washington Law Review

In Snyder v. Marken, a negligence action between automobile owners growing out of a collision which resulted in injuries to a third person as well as to the plaintiffs, a judgment in the action by the third person was held unavailable as a defense, upon the ground that parties to a judgment are not bound by it in subsequent controversies between each other unless they were adversaries in the other action wherein the judgment was entered, that is, unless there were issues as between the co-defendants in that action.

The Uniform Sales Act In The State Of Washington, Leslie J. Ayer Feb 1927

The Uniform Sales Act In The State Of Washington, Leslie J. Ayer

Washington Law Review

The Uniform Sales Act was enacted by the State of Washington at the extraordinary session of its legislature convened November 9, 1925, and adjourned January 7, 1926. Under constitutional provision 2 this law went into effect ninety days after the adjournment of the session at which it was enacted. The advantages of uniformity of legislation in matters pertaining to commercial subjects seems so obvious as to require but slight comment. In laws relating to commercial subjects, conditions and problems are rarely of a local nature, and in view of the great amount of trading which exists between the several states, …


Lien Of Judgments Of United States Courts In Washington, F. C. Hackman Feb 1927

Lien Of Judgments Of United States Courts In Washington, F. C. Hackman

Washington Law Review

At common law pecuniary judgments and decrees do not become a lien, in the modern sense of the term, on property of the debtor, so that that effect is a statutory creation. Therefore, whether a judgment is a lien, how made so, to what interest or estate the lien attaches, when the lien commences, how long it endures, and all other particulars must be ascertained from the statutes of the proper jurisdiction. The fixation of the force and effect of judgments and decrees of courts is an attribute of sovereignty. The United States and the several states being sovereignties, each …


The Inns Of Court, Frank E. Holman Feb 1927

The Inns Of Court, Frank E. Holman

Washington Law Review

The tendency of modern lawyers is to permit the profession to become a mere business and to give little or no attention to the tradition and romance of the law. During more than five centuries the Inns of Court have occupied an important place in the history and development of our jurisprudence. The constant growth and continuity which characterizes the great body of English law is not found in the native or national law of continental countries like France and Germany. Toward this characteristic entirety of English law the Inns of Court have contributed largely, for through the centuries of …


Priorities Puzzle Under Ship Moorage Act, Orlo B. Kellogg Feb 1927

Priorities Puzzle Under Ship Moorage Act, Orlo B. Kellogg

Washington Law Review

The Ship Mortgage Act provides that a preferred ship mortgage, that is one which complies with the requirements of the act, shall have priority over all except "preferred maritime liens." It then proceeds to define preferred maritime liens as those liens arising before the recording and indorsement of the preferred mortgage in question, and also those liens arising from damages resulting from torts, those arising for wages of a stevedore when employed directly by the owner or operator, master, ship's husband or agent of the vessel, and those arising for the wages of the crew, for general average and for …


The Trust Receipt—Its Possible Legal Status In Washington, Harry O. Arend Feb 1927

The Trust Receipt—Its Possible Legal Status In Washington, Harry O. Arend

Washington Law Review

Within a period of comparatively recent date there has crept into commercial usage an instrument known as the trust receipt. Because of the extensive use now being made of the trust receipt in Washington, it is well to become acquainted with some of its legal aspects. In British law the rights of the lending bank under the trust receipt have been steadfastly upheld on the ground that the trust receipt is a necessary instrument of commerce. This view has been quite generally followed in the American courts, with the difference, however, that the courts deem it a part of their …
