Can An Estate Tail Be Docked During Life Of First Taker?, Ben Ely Jr.
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series

Recent Developments And Tendencies In The Taxation Of Intangibles, Robert L. Howard
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
In the decision of Union Refrigerator Transit Co. v.

Partition Where Life Estates And Remainders Are Involved, Earl F. Nelson
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
In the University of Missouri Bulletin (Law Series No. 14) Professor Manly Hudson considered the decided cases and very clearly and concisely summarized the law as then declared by the Supreme Court.
