Some Unscheduled Liabilities Of Trust Companies, Henry M. Bates
Articles
"The modern trust company, with its varied and highly developed functions, is a characteristic product of our present complex civilization... The trust company, as some one has said, has become the corporation's corporation, a sort of super-corporation.... The question then naturally arises, is there any law peculiar to trust companies?"

The Four Year Course In The Department Of Law, Henry M. Bates
Articles
The present year has witnessed the final step in the establishment of the new entrance requirement to the Law Department which was undertaken by the Faculty and Regents several years ago. This, in effect, provides that every student in the Law Department from now on shall have had at least one year in the Literary Department, or its equivalent elsewhere, and places the course of the Law Department practically upon the four year basis of the other schools in the University.
Provability In Bankruptcy Of Claims Arising Out Of Alimony Decrees Or Separation Agreements Between Husband And Wife, Ralph W. Aigler
Provability In Bankruptcy Of Claims Arising Out Of Alimony Decrees Or Separation Agreements Between Husband And Wife, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
It was not until the decisions in Audubon v. Shufeldt, 181 U. S. 575, and Wetmore v. Markoe; 196 U. S. 68, that it was authoritatively determined in this country that alimony, whether in arrears at the time of filing petition, or payable in the future, was not provable in bankruptcy.
The Art Of Legal Practice, Edson R. Sunderland
The Art Of Legal Practice, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
In one respect the law is the most perplexing subject with which a man can deal. It shifts and changes so rapidly that only a nimble and diligent student can keep abreast of it. One is likely to wake up any morning and find that the legislature has repealed a good part of what he knows, and he is in constant danger of having his most carefully formed opinions completely upset by a new decision of the Supreme Court. These violent changes are not due to any new discoveries, such as constantly enliven the scientific world, but merely to the …
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler
Possession Under Mistake As Adverse Possession, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
In Wissinger v. Reed et al., 125 Pac. lO3O (Aug. 24, 1912) the Supreme Court of Washington held that actual possession of land for the statutory period would confer title upon the occupant, although the possession was under a mistaken belief of ownership. While the doctrine that title to real property may be acquired by adverse possession has been firmly established in English and American law for a great many years, no little difficulty and confusion have arisen in determining what possession is adverse, especially where the actual possession upon which the claim of title is based has been under …
Recovery Of Salary By A De Facto Officer, W. Gordon Stoner
Recovery Of Salary By A De Facto Officer, W. Gordon Stoner
Articles
The de facto doctrine in the law of officers has been a continual source of difficulty to the courts for more than a century. Many questions connected with the application of this doctrine to this branch of the law have been settled beyond controversy. Even the phase of this question which the writer proposes to discuss cannot be classed as new or novel. Recent years, however, have seen the development of certain tendencies on the part of some of the American courts in the application of this doctrine, which will furnish the subject for the major part of our consideration.
The Running With The Land Of Agreements To Pay For A Portion Of The Cost Of Party Walls, Ralph W. Aigler
The Running With The Land Of Agreements To Pay For A Portion Of The Cost Of Party Walls, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Owners of adjoining properties, especially in cities, frequently find it advisable and advantageous to enter into arrangements whereby their buildings shall be supported by a common wall. These arrangements are ordinarily evidenced by party-wall agreements or covenants, so-called, out of which have grown a number of interesting questions. It not infrequently happens that when one owner desires to build such a wall his neighbor, for one reason or another, is not ready to join in the undertaking, so an agreement is entered into between the two adjoining owners whereby one agrees to proceed with the erection of the wall at …
The Lien Or Equitable Theory Of The Mortgage--Some Generalizations, Edgar N. Durfee
The Lien Or Equitable Theory Of The Mortgage--Some Generalizations, Edgar N. Durfee
Articles
The question is--What is the nature of the rights of a real property mortgagee in those jurisdictions which adopt the lien or equitable theory3 of the mortgage? In one sense this question calls for a full statement of the law of mortgages but that, of course, is not the sense in which the writer puts it. He means by it to put a broader and more scientific question--a question, be it at once confessed, of jurisprudence--yet a question which has an important bearing on, if it is not in fact conclusive of, several specific problems in the law, which will …
Is A Judgment Open To Collateral Attack If Rendered Without Written Pleadings As Required By Statute, Or If The Writings Do Not Comply With The Statutory Requirements?, John R. Rood
Articles
It is believed that no good reason can be assigned for answering the above question in the affirmative. Certainly none has yet been discovered in a careful search of the cases involving the point. And yet the assurance and unanimity with which lawyers and judges give the affirmative answer to it on first thought is indeed remarkable. For instance, Mr. Justice FIELD in speaking for the Supreme Court of the United States, on the question as to whether a judgment is subject to collateral attack if one served with process is not permitted to make any defense when he appears …
A Surety's Claim Against His Bankrupt Principal Under The Present Law, Evans Holbrook
A Surety's Claim Against His Bankrupt Principal Under The Present Law, Evans Holbrook
Articles
The peculiar three-sided relationship of principal, surety and creditor gives rise to many vexatious questions of law, and one of the most interesting of these vexatious questions is that of the relationship between surety and principal in the case of the latter's bankruptcy. Under such circumstances, the creditor's right is fairly simple; he may prove his debt against the principal, take such dividend as may be declared, and recover the balance of the debt from the surety, his remedy against the latter being expressly saved by Sec. 16 of the present Bankruptcy Act.1 But the position of the surety is …
Is A Bank Check An Assignment Pro Tanto Of The Fund Or Deposit?, Ralph W. Aigler
Is A Bank Check An Assignment Pro Tanto Of The Fund Or Deposit?, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
Before the Negotiable Instruments Law there was a clear conflict of authority as to whether a check for a portion of the account to the credit of the drawer was an assignment pro tanto of the fund.
