Territorial Courts And Law: Unifying Factors In The Development Of American Legal Institutions-Pt.1-Establishment Of A Standardized Judicial System, William Wirt Blume, Elizabeth Gaspar Brown
Michigan Law Review
The United States first became a sovereign nation when individual states of the Confederation ceded to the states collectively their several interests in the lands west of the Appalachians which lay east of the Mississippi, north of Spanish Florida, and south of the Great Lakes. This area had been relinquished by Great Britain by the Treaty of 1783 and, with the exception of Kentucky, now became the property of the United States. It was the first area over which the states as a group had complete sovereignty, subject only to the claims of the various Indian tribes. Colonies fresh from …
Congressional Repair Of The Erie Derailment, Leonard V. Quigley
Congressional Repair Of The Erie Derailment, Leonard V. Quigley
Michigan Law Review
It is the thesis of this article that such legislative review and repair is required today on the part of the federal legislature in regard to the diversity jurisdiction of the federal courts. Such reconsideration is particularly appropriate where, as in the analogous commerce clause area, the subject matter has been committed specifically to the Congress by the Constitution.

Taxation-Federal Estate Tax-The Construction Of Section 2036, William S. Bach S .Ed.
Michigan Law Review
This comment will explore two problems: first, an analysis of the legislative history of the present section 2036 in an effort to discover exactly which property relationships Congress intended to reach by this provision; second, an examination of the treatment which several specific arrangements have been given by the courts to determine whether there is any degree of certainty or predictability in the application of section 2036.
The Antidumping Act: Its Administration And Place In American Trade Policy, James A. Kohn
The Antidumping Act: Its Administration And Place In American Trade Policy, James A. Kohn
Michigan Law Review
It has now been forty years since the present Antidumping Act was passed. During that period certain administrative interpretations and procedures have developed. This discussion will not attempt a general exposition of the act, but rather will examine key terms which are not defined by the act itself, the administrative decisions interpreting these terms, and the soundness of these decisions when tested against the purposes of the act. In analyzing these decisions, not only the factors that influenced the original passage of the act must be considered, but also the events which have occurred since the passage of the act …
Legislation On The American Frontier: Adoption Of Laws By Governor And Judges-Northwest Territory 1788-1798: Indiana Territory 1800-1804; Michigan Territory 1805-1823, William Wirt Blume
Legislation On The American Frontier: Adoption Of Laws By Governor And Judges-Northwest Territory 1788-1798: Indiana Territory 1800-1804; Michigan Territory 1805-1823, William Wirt Blume
Michigan Law Review
The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 made provisions for legislation by the territorial government in two stages: (1) adoption of laws by the governor and judges from the laws of the original states, and (2) enactment of statutes by a legislature made up of the governor, a council, and elected representatives. The first method was to be followed until the population should reach 5,000 and the second method thereafter. The present study is limited to the first stage.

Immigration And Naturalization-Suspension Of Deportation- A Look At A Benevolent Aspect Of The Mccarran-Walter Act, Kenneth W. Graham Jr., S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
This comment proposes to look, for a change, at one of the ameliorative portions of the act, the provisions which allow suspension of deportation for certain deserving aliens. This section of the statute is not only unusual in its solicitude for the foreign-born and their families but is also effectuated by a peculiar interaction of the legislative, executive and judicial branches of government. Before considering the substantive law governing suspension of deportation, it is appropriate to look at the procedural aspects involved in applying the raw statutory language.
