War Crimes, Elbridge Colby
War Crimes, Elbridge Colby
Michigan Law Review
Grant that as far as military jurisdictions are concerned, the superior order justifies the act of the subordinate. Yet is such a judgment valid outside of military circles? Grant that public armed troops and soldiers have generally been held exempt when acting under the orders of their sovereign, and are responsible only to their own government. Is this an absolute protection? Is it true that, by the authority vested in him, "the commanding general determines what measures are necessary unless restrained by the orders of his government, which alone is his superior." Are there no qualifications to the idea that …

A Partnership as a Farmer in Bankruptcy - After much uncertainty and difference of opinion among the courts as to the position of Partnerships under the Bankruptcy Act certain phases of the problem were set at rest by the Supreme Court in Francis v. McNeal. By that case it seems to have been authoritatively settled (1) that in determining the solvency or insolvency of a partnership the individual estates available for payment of firm debts are to be considered, and (2) that an adjudication of the firm as such draws into the proceeding the administration of the estates of members …

What Here Included--It will be borne in mind that the question here to be considered is not in what form or in what manner authority to sell land may be conferred, e. g., whether it must be by writing or may be by word or act, but whether an authority properly created and unquestionably existing for some purpose will include this one, whether authority unquestionably relating in some form to land confers authority to sell it, and whether an authority clearly authorizing a sale of land confers authority to do some other act relating to it.

The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem
The Execution Of Sealed Instruments By An Agent, Floyd R. Mechem
Michigan Law Review
Purpose of this article--The manager of the execution of instruments under seal, such as deeds, bonds and other solemn writings, is of so much importance and has been so frequently discussed, as to merit the more extended treatment, which it is the purpose of this article to devote to it. The word "deed" herein is used to describe all it instruments under seal, and not merely conveyances of land. It is to be observed that the question here is not how authority to execute sealed instruments is to be conferred, but how such an authority is to be executed.
