Note And Comment, Willard T. Barbour, John B. Waite, Evans Holbrook, Gordon Stoner, Raymond Archibald Fox

Michigan Law Review

The "Right" to Break a Contract - It is common knowledge that the fully developed common law affords no means to compel the performance of a contract according to its terms. Does it follow from this that there is no legal obligation to perform a contract, or if obligation there be, that it is alternative: to perform or pay damages? A note in the XIV MIcr. L. Rv. 48o appears to give an affirmative answer to this question and at least one court (Frye v. Hubbell, 74 N. H. 358, at p. 374) has taken the same view. Probably the …

Michigan Law Review

Professor Husband's book deals with two problems, the date of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, and the legal aspects of the proceedings against him. In both divisions of the subject his conclusions are novel and are supported by able argumentation.

How A Conditional Limitation Operates, Harold M. Bowman Nov 1917

How A Conditional Limitation Operates, Harold M. Bowman

Michigan Law Review

Whenever, a freehold is limited to take effect upon a contingency which may happen before the regular expiration of the preceding estate of freehold, it takes effect in defeasance of such interest. The executory limitation thus operating cuts off the prior interest abruptly. By the "intrinsic force" of the executory limitation the preceding estate is terminated. The gift over operates to destroy, to divest,' in defeasance of the prior gift. In the words of LORD LANGDALE, Master of the Rolls, in Jackson v. Noble 2 the preceding estate is "defeated by a contingent executory gift over."

Attorneys - Disobedience of Order of Suspension - What Acts Constitute - Defendants had been suspended from practice "in all the courts of this state" for one year. During suspension they had continued to maintain a law office with the usual signs on the doors and windows, used envelopes and stationery with their names printed thereon as Attorneys at Law, and permitted their names to be inserted as attorneys at law in telephone and city directories.

The Rule-Making Authority in the English Supreme Court, by Samuel Rosenbaum. Boston, The Boston Book Co., 1917, pp. xiv, 321.

War And Law, Charles H. Hamill Nov 1917

War And Law, Charles H. Hamill

Michigan Law Review

Law creates rights. It not merely defines them; it creates them. Without law, one may what he can. With law, one can only that which he may. Law is the device by which the many, individually weak, control and compel the few individually strong or cunning. It is a device by which is reduced nature's handicap in favor of the physically strong and ruthless. Where law obtains, those who are fitted to the system created by the law, as the economically efficient, prevail and survive. In the absence of law, only the strong and cunning can survive.

Some Problems In Hearsay And Relevancy In Missouri, E. W. Hinton Jun 1917

Some Problems In Hearsay And Relevancy In Missouri, E. W. Hinton

University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

There is no rule better known than that hearsay evidence is generally not admissible. It is equally true, though not so widely known, that there are a large number of specific exceptions to this general rule of exclusion. Hearsay, has been so long under the ban that the profession not uncommonly thinks of it as not being evidence at all, rather than as a kind of evidence generally excluded for reasons of policy connected with the jury trial. This notion is responsible for a good deal of confusion in dealing with the exceptions under which hearsay is received. Instead of …
