Some Historical Matter Concerning Literary Property, Edward S. Rogers Dec 1908

Some Historical Matter Concerning Literary Property, Edward S. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

The notion of property in published literary works was of gradual development. One may search in vain through classical literature and Roman law to find anything in the nature of copyright. Hearty condemnation of plagiarism is to be found. Stealing another man's labor and passing it off as one's own was a literary crime, but neither that nor open piracy seems to have been a matter of which the law took cognizance. Before the invention of printing, making manuscript copies of a book was such a laborious and time-consuming task that an ancient author must have felt sufficiently repaid if …

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy Nov 1908

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy

Michigan Law Review

When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …

Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers Nov 1908

Recovery Of Money Paid Under Mistake Of Law, William P. Rogers

Michigan Law Review

Few questions which come before the courts seem more difficult to settle than those growing out of the maxim, ignorantia juris non excusat. The fact that the most recent decisions bearing on the subject are as much at variance and as conflicting as those rendered more than a century ago, is the excuse, if not a justification, for this article. It is proposed, however, to examine only that phase of the subject found in this inquiry: "Can one recover from another money paid under mistake of law to which the payee is not entitled, and which he can not in …
