Contracts-Effect Of Supervening Temporary Impossibility, Robert H. Frick S.Ed.
Contracts-Effect Of Supervening Temporary Impossibility, Robert H. Frick S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The plaintiff, a Japanese-owned corporation located in the United States, was operating under a limited license to do business granted under an executive order. On November 1, 1941, the plaintiff contracted to purchase from the defendant corporation 6,000 pockets of rice for delivery during November and December 1941 at the plaintiff's option. On December 7, 1941, the Secretary of the Treasury revoked all licenses issued under the executive order and the plaintiff's place of business was closed. Upon learning of this, the defendant corporation notified the plaintiff of his (defendant's) repudiation of the contract on December 9, 1941. On December …

Place Of Trial Of Civil Cases, William Wirt Blume
Place Of Trial Of Civil Cases, William Wirt Blume
Michigan Law Review
Places involved in a study of place of trial may be classified in various ways. The most general classification is: (1) Places within one sovereignty, (2) Places in different sovereignties. Where there is choice of place within one sovereignty, the only rational basis for making the choice is convenience-convenience of the parties, jurors, witnesses, and of the court itself. The same is true when the choice is between courts of different sovereignties, but without cooperation between the sovereignties rational choice may not be possible. The purpose of this discussion is to compare choice of place in England before 1800 with …

The Political And Social Factor In Legal Interpretation, Roscoe Pound
The Political And Social Factor In Legal Interpretation, Roscoe Pound
Michigan Law Review
We may think of the task of the legal order as one of maintaining the inner order of a politically organized society. The term "law" is not uncommonly used to include the task and the agencies by which we endeavor to achieve it. Thus it is used (as by sociologists and by the historical jurists) for all social control, and, by those who limit the term to a highly specialized social control through politically organized society, for (1) the legal order, the regime of adjusting relations and ordering conduct by systematic employment of the force of a state (the type …
Precedent In Past And Present Legal Systems, C. Sumner Lobingier
Precedent In Past And Present Legal Systems, C. Sumner Lobingier
Michigan Law Review
The prevailing notion that stare decisis is peculiar to the Anglican Legal System is quite provincial and far from correct. On the contrary, the principle is inherent in every legal system, at least in its primitive stage; for the earliest form of law is custom, and the "core of custom" is precedent, not necessarily judicial, but something quite as authoritative.
A Comparative Study Of Conflict Of Laws: A Review Of Volume One, Elliott E. Cheatham

The Place Of Trial Of Criminal Cases: Constitutional Vicinage And Venue, William Wirt Blume
The Place Of Trial Of Criminal Cases: Constitutional Vicinage And Venue, William Wirt Blume
Michigan Law Review
In 1909 one Henry G. Connor, presumably Mr. Justice Connor of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, published in the Pennsylvania Law Review an article entitled "The Constitutional Right to a Trial by a Jury of the Vicinage." The question discussed was: May a state constitutionally provide by statute that a crime be tried in a county other than that in which it was committed? Or, putting the question in terms of vicinage as distinguished from venue, may a state constitutionally provide by statute that a crime be tried by jurors summoned from a county other than the county …

Review Of Administrative Acts : A Comparative Study Of The Doctrine Of The Separation Of Powers And Judicial Review In France And The United States, Armin Uhler
Michigan Legal Studies Series
The present study was originally inspired by the widespread interest in the doctrine of the separation of powers stimulated by current discussions of vital problems of administrative law. Frequent reference to this doctrine occurs especially in recent legal literature concerned with the relation between the administrative and judicial departments of government. Particular mention may be made of the attention which has been given the doctrine by the Special Committee on Administrative Law of the American Bar Association. However, the allusions to the doctrine in these discussions to prevalent separation of powers in the organization of government have not always been …
Torts In The Conflict Of Laws, Moffatt Hancock
Torts In The Conflict Of Laws, Moffatt Hancock
Michigan Legal Studies Series
There has been in recent years a marked development of interest in the diversities of laws and their attendant conflicts. While modern facilities of communication accelerate the spread of culture and thus augment the need of uniformity in the laws affecting commerce, they also reveal the significance of local needs, customs, and legal institutions. Indeed, it would seem that multiplication of jurisdictions and progressive diversification of laws in both space and subject matter is an unavoidable concomitant of increasing specialization in the international, interstate, or local economy. If these circumstances serve to justify the perennial effort to simplify the law, …

The "Minimum Standard" Of The Treatment Of Aliens, Edwin Borchard
The "Minimum Standard" Of The Treatment Of Aliens, Edwin Borchard
Michigan Law Review
During the meeting of the Committee of Experts for the Codification of International Law at Lima, Mr. Cruchaga Ossa of Chile contended that article 9 of the Montevideo Convention on the Rights and Duties of States made the equality of rights the maximum that could be claimed by any alien. He denied the existence of any "minimum standard" for the treatment of aliens; but remarked that even if there were one recognized in Europe the countries on this continent had in the first, second, fifth and seventh Inter-American Conferences committed themselves to the doctrine of absolute equality, which henceforth constituted …

Treaties-State Successsion-Effect On Commercial Treaties And Reciprocity Statutes
Treaties-State Successsion-Effect On Commercial Treaties And Reciprocity Statutes
Michigan Law Review
In a suit to recover alleged excessive tonnage duties the court held that the commercial treaties made by the United States with the Hanseatic Republics in 1827 (1 Malloy 901), and with Prussia in 1828 (2 Malloy 1496), were still valid and effective to exempt a vessel from duties that were imposed in 1921; but that U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 4229-30 and 4 Stat. 2, exempting Prussian vessels from these taxes, were no longer operative. For facts, see note supra. The Sophie Rickmers, 45 F.(2d) 413.

Michigan Law Review
The Sophie Rickmers, a German merchant vessel registered at Hamburg and owned by a German corporation with principal place of business there, entered New York Sept. 27, 1921. Upon its entry a tonnage duty of fifty cents per ton was collected under U. S. Rev. Stat. sec. 4219 as amended by 19 Stat. 250 (46 U. S. C. A. 121), and sec. ,4225 (46 U. S. C.

The Law School And The State, William W. Cook
Michigan Law Review
On the legal profession rests the responsibility for the future of America. Now here else does the necessary leadership exist, and leadership, based on training, character and intelligence, will determine the future of the republic. The rapid rise of America to the primacy of the world; its vast wealth, power and population; its problems of capital and labor; its expansion of governmental functions; its diversity of races; its determination to preserve American institutions-all demand leadership of the highest order, and that can be found only in the legal profession. It is a problem of the ages. From Plato's Republic to …

Canada's Treaty Making Power, C. D. Allin
Canada's Treaty Making Power, C. D. Allin
Michigan Law Review
The question of the treaty-making power of the Dominion of Canada was raised in an acute form during the negotiations between Great Britain and the United States governments over the halibut fisheries. After several years of investigation and negotiation, a draft agreement was drawn up by the American State Department and sent to the Canadian government through the British ambassador at Washington. According to the title and preamble of the treaty, the convention was drawn up between the United States and Great Britain, but by Article I, "The Nationals and inhabitants and fishing vessels and boats of the United States …
