A Historic Judicial Controversy And Some Reflections Suggested By It., S. S. Gregory Jan 1913

A Historic Judicial Controversy And Some Reflections Suggested By It., S. S. Gregory

Michigan Law Review

Probably most well informed persons of the present generation associate the notion, once maintained, that a state might secede or nullify an act of Congress, with the South and its earlier statesmen. And it is time that the resolutions drawn substantially by Jefferson and adopted by the Legislature of Kentucky in 1798, and similar resolutions drafted by Madison and adopted by the General Assembly of Virginia in the same year, together with some similar and more explicit declarations by the Legislature of the former state in 1799, seem to furnish some warrant for this impression. Yet it seems to be …


Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker Jan 1913

Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker

Michigan Law Review

In the first portion of this paper-it has been shown that the character of ja deposit is determined by the contract made between the bank and its customer. It now remains to point out the various conditions of fact and combinations of circumstances which are useful in ascertaining the true character of the contract when the subject of the deposit is commercial paper, as drafts, notes, or cheques.

The Renvoi Theory Repudiated as a Test for Determining the Negotiability of a Note - A recent case decided by the Supreme Court of Oklahoma (Bell v. Riggs, 127 Pac. 427) involving, among others, a question as to what law governs the negotiability of a note made in one State and payable in another, though of little intrinsic value so far as that point is concerned, is of some interest because the attorney for the holder of the note made a curious attempt to adapt the renvoi theory to his case. The term renvoi is used as a convenient descriptive …

Students and teachers of law, as well as historically-minded practitioners -though the number of the latter is, alas, all too few-have long felt the need of a brief but adequate and authoritative account of the origin and growth of English legal institutions. Previous treatises, based on modern investigations, notably those of Pollock and Maitland and Holdsworth, are not only too exhaustive, but do not completely cover the ground. Convinced, like many others of the present day, "that a rich field of educational effort awaited development," Mr. Jenks, already well-known for his contributions to various aspects of the subject, has at …

Michigan Law Review

The appearance of these two works in the Classics of International Law, the publication of which has been ,undertaken by the Carnegie Institution of Washington under the general editorship of Dr. James Brown 'Scott, is an event of great importance in the history of the literature of International Law. Several years ago Dr. Scott called the attention of the authorities of the Carnegie Institution to the need of reprints .of the texts of the great classics of International Law, each to be accompanied by a readable English translation. The Carnegie Institution undertook the work as outlined by Dr. Scott, and …

Michigan Law Review

The legal profession is to be congratulated that men of the great erudition of Dean Wigmore and the editors associated with him are devoting themselves so unselfishly to the heavy labor of presenting in fitting English form the masterpieces of continental legal literature. Though much may be said about the insufficiency of translations as a basis of scholarly work in -any subject, the fact remains that the great bulk of the legal profession, even those of a scholarly habit of mind, have not the linguistic ability necessary to use the original sources of knowledge. On the other hand the need …

Michigan Law Review

This work, which is practically an annotated and well arranged selection of extracts from leading cases and from the rules laid down and followed by various railroad commissions and public service companies, puts in extremely convenient form a great deal of very valuable material. There has been such a diversity in the rules laid down by the courts as to the methods of valuation and the elements that should enter into a determination of the value of a public service plant, that it requires a large amount of investigation to bring together and analyze the various important cases. One can …

What Is The Law? Ii, Joseph W. Bingham Dec 1912

What Is The Law? Ii, Joseph W. Bingham

Michigan Law Review

I shall now discuss briefly the nature of the causal effects of precedents upon judicial decisions and the justifications for those effects. One frequently hears laymen scoffing at the respect which courts pay to precedents and sometimes displaying a lamentable ignorance both of the nature of the influence which precedents have on the law and of the reasons for the existence of that influence. The influence of past example on human action pervades all human conduct and endeavor at all times. That influence is fundamental. It occurs through instinctive as well as intelligent processes and sometimes runs to unreasonable extents. …


Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker Dec 1912

Bank Deposits And Collections, Ralph J. Baker

Michigan Law Review

Insolvency, no less than natural death, is a tragedy which comes into the midst of business transactions, fixing the claims of parties, and calling for the application of legal principles to determine the nature and extent of their rights. Perhaps no business relationship is more frequent than that of banker and customer or depositor. And while insolvency of banking institutions is happily less frequent than in the ordinary business, it is not so uncommon that questions therein are not often in the courts for adjudication. It would, therefore, be a natural deduction that the legal principles applicable should be comparatively …
