Theory Of Pleading A Survey Including The Federal Rules, William Wirt Blume
Theory Of Pleading A Survey Including The Federal Rules, William Wirt Blume
Michigan Law Review
In an often-quoted report of a committee of the American Bar Association, Roscoe Pound stated: "Pleadings have four purposes: (1) The first is to serve as a formal basis for the judgment. This is the oldest function, and one that goes back before the time of rational, as distinguished from purely mechanical trial of issues. . . . (2) Another is to separate issues of fact from questions of law .... (3) Another is to give litigants the advantage of a plea of res judicata if molested again for the same cause .... (4) Finally, pleadings exist to notify parties …
Trial Practice-Demurrer Upon Evidence As A Device For Taking A Case From The Jury, Charles H. King
Trial Practice-Demurrer Upon Evidence As A Device For Taking A Case From The Jury, Charles H. King
Michigan Law Review
By far the oldest of the common law devices for taking a case away from a jury is the demurrer upon evidence. A reported instance of its use appears as early as 1456.
Joint Tenancy-Effect Of Word "Jointly"-Parol Evidence As To Intent
Joint Tenancy-Effect Of Word "Jointly"-Parol Evidence As To Intent
Michigan Law Review
The common law rule was well settled that a conveyance to two or more, not husband and wife, made them joint tenants, not tenants in common, unless language was used to show an intent that they were not to be joint tenants. The reason for such a rule having passed, the modern rule is to the opposite effect-two or more conveyees, with certain exceptions, are presumptively tenants in common. The Illinois statute, for example, declares that "no estate in joint tenancy in any lands ... shall be held or claimed under any grant . . . unless the premises therein …

Evidence - Admissibility Of Age In Hospital Record As Business Entry, Craig E. Davids
Michigan Law Review
Representing his birth date as 1866, deceased purchased from defendant insurance company in 1921 a policy on his life, which provided that in the event of any misrepresentation of age the insured's beneficiary would receive only that amount which a standard policy issued at his true age would stipulate for the premiums paid. In a suit by the beneficiary to recover on the policy, defendant attempted to prove that deceased was born at least as early as 1862. Among other evidence, defendant introduced a hospital record of deceased's visit to a particular institution in 1936 where he represented his age …

Telegraph, Telephone And Wireless-Tapping
Telegraph, Telephone And Wireless-Tapping
Michigan Law Review
A recent Federal case, Olmstead v. United States, suggests an interesting problem. Evidence obtained by Federal authorities, who tapped private telephone wires, was admitted in a criminal prosecution. It seems to be the general rule that fraudulently, wrongfully, or illegally procured evidence is admissible, if otherwise admissible. And certainly the courts have required telegraph companies to disclose messages to aid criminal prosecutions. Telegraph operators have been compelled to testify. And even where a state statute forbade disclosure of the message by the company, a subpoena duces tecum has compelled the production of a telegram to aid the courts. Testimony …
