Soviet Socialism And Embezzlement, John N. Hazard

Washington Law Review

Socialism has been heralded as the cure for crime. To the Marxist the claim seems reasonable. He believes that crime springs from poverty coupled with despair. Reorganization of the economic and socal structure of society under socialism is promised as the route to hope and wealth. In consequence, socialism should create conditions under which the citizen will have no need to steal and no desire to kill. To examine the effect of the thesis upon the writings of Soviet authors and the policy of the Soviet leaders this paper will review what has happened to the crime of embezzlement over …

Soviet Civil Law: A Review, Roscoe Pound

Michigan Law Review

Here is an excellent and much needed book. Although the enthusiastic wishful thinking about things Russian, fashionable not so long ago, has for the most part abated, the rise of a new social and economic order on a great scale must call for careful study by lawyers and law-makers no less than by historians and economists and students of politics. Now that a generation has been at work constructively since the destructive era of militant communism after the revolution, we need accurate and objectively presented and interpreted information as to how the administration of justice goes on under "the dictatorship …

Revision Of The Japanese Mining Law Under The Occupation, Albert H. Solomon

Washington Law Review

In line with the policy of the Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers to democratize the mining industry of Japan, a study of existing mining law was undertaken in 1946 by a National Mining Law Revision Committee appointed by the Minister of Commerce and Industry (now Minister of International Trade and Industry). After four years of investigation, drafting, and redrafting of a revised Mining Bill, with technical assistance from a visiting mineral law expert from the United States and from lawyers and agricultural and forest economists employed in the Japanese government and in the Headquarters of SCAP, as well as …

Insolvent Decedents' Estates, Kurt H. Nadelmann

Michigan Law Review

The problems of insolvent decedents' estates have created special difficulties in all legal systems. Two unrelated fields of the law are involved: decedents' estates and insolvency. Treatment of the topic in works on one or the other field is often scanty and few studies exist which deal exclusively with insolvent decedents' estates law. Research in the conflicts problems of the field has led the writer to investigate the differences in the treatment of insolvent decedents' estates in this country, other common law countries, and countries of the civil law. Results of this study are used to discuss problems of the …

The Legal Nature Of Soviet Collective Farms, George C. Guins

Washington Law Review

Soviet legislation concerning collective farms (kolkhozes) reveals in an exceptionally clear manner all the peculiarities of the centralized economy. As a legal entity a kolkhoz owns its "socialist property," but this does not include the most valuable element of agricultural economy, that is, the land. Members of collective farms work on land which belongs to the state. Even the house and garden plots which are placed at the disposal of individual farmers and their families do not belong to them. Actually, only the surplus production belongs to the kolkhozes and they may dispose of it as they see fit, selling …

Lectures On The Law And Labor-Management Relations, University Of Michigan Law School

Summer Institute on International and Comparative Law

The 1950 Summer Institute on International and Comparative Law recognized the great importance, all over the world, of the problems of labor-management relations and the accelerating pace of development of labor law. The Institute sought, through the techniques of lecture, comment, and panel discussion, to provide a basis for an informed appraisal of some of the most challenging questions in this area.

For the most part the program dealt with the problems arising in the attempt in the United States and in other countries to develop and apply legal standards to labor-management relations. Underlying the legal framework, however, are major …

Democratization Of The Family Relation In Japan, Sakae Wagatsuma

Washington Law Review

After the war, that part of the Japanese Civil Code which relates to family relationships, i.e., Book IV, Relatives, and Book V, Succession, underwent a thorough-going amendment, the chief objective of which was to democratize the legal relations among Japanese family members. As the main features of this amendment of the Japanese Civil Code have been explained in detail by Mr. Kurt Steiner in "Postwar Changes in the Japanese Civil Code" in the August issue of this Review, it appears advisable for the present writer to lay stress on the following two points: (1) public opinion on the amendment of …

The Reception Of Highly Developed Legal Systems By Peoples Of Different Cultures, Ernst Levy

Washington Law Review

The reception of legal ideas of one people by another is a universal phenomenon in world history Wherever the civilization of a tribe or nation reaches a stage enabling it to build up a legal system, the conditions of a reception are at hand. The march of ideas, legal as well as cultural, often follows in the path of material goods. Already the Code of Hammurabi of about 1750 B.C., which long was held to be the oldest code of mankind, displays strong Sumerian influences along with the native Semitic elements. Receptions permeate the following thousands of years; they have …

Postwar Changes In The Japanese Civil Code, Kurt Steiner

Washington Law Review

The developments of law in Japan since the beginning of the Occupation have been marked by an increased influence of Anglo-Saxon legal ideas. For example, future legal historians concerning themselves with the Japanese Code of Criminal Procedure may wel find that a new period, the Anglo-American period, began during the Occupation. The revision of the Civil Code in 1947, however, would more properly be considered as the second step of the reform of civil law which began in the Meiji Era. It completes the transition of Japanese civil law to the continental European family of law

Revisions Of The Criminal Code Of Japan During The Occupation, Howard Meyers

Washington Law Review

With the coming into force of the new Constitution of Japan on May 3, 1947, the Criminal Code had to be revised to excise those provisions which were contrary to the Constitution, since Article 98 of that document declared that such provisions had no legal force or validity. A Legislative Investigation Committee was appointed by the Japanese government, composed of leading judges, law professors, procurators, and officials of the Ministry of Justice. The writer worked with members of this group, as the representative of SCAP (Supreme Commander for the Allied Powers). The first and principal Code revision was submitted in …

The Conflict Of Laws: A Comparative Study. Volume Three. Special Obligations: Modification And Discharge Of Obligations, Ernst Rabel

Michigan Legal Studies Series

Among the multitude of conflicts principles that, according to various claims, should determine the law applicable to all contracts, only two have resisted the test of critical analysis. These, indeed, form an adequate groundwork. First, the freedom of parties to choose the law applicable to their contract must be recognized as a general rule without petty restraint. Second, in the absence of such agreement, a contract should be governed by the law most closely connected with its characteristic feature.

The first proposition is essential to the second. To deny party autonomy means rigid conflicts rules created by some superior authority. …
