Unrecognized Government Or State In English And American Law (Part 1), Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
From the decision of this novel case, reported as Pelzer v. United Dredging Co., we may infer that the New York courts regard unrecognized Mexico as a sort of legal vacuum. In granting the corporation's motion for judgment on the pleadings, the Supreme Court said: "The administratrix plaintiff is an officer of a foreign court. It is syllogistically true that if the foreign court has no recognized power here she may not assert a right derived through her appointment therefrom. The Mexican government is not de facto here, since recognition alone can make it so. It may have all the …
Legislation In Vague Or General Terms, Ralph W. Aigler
Legislation In Vague Or General Terms, Ralph W. Aigler
Articles
FOR some reason, probably in part the increasing complexity of our life and relationships, but more largely, perhaps, the growing tendency to regulate everybody and everything by positive law, the courts have been called upon with increasing frequency to pass upon the effectiveness of statutes and ordinances phrased in indefinite terms. In a very interesting and valuable paper, Professor Freund has pointed out the weakness and strength, on the one hand, of legislation in general terms, and on the other hand, legislation in which the rule of conduct is attempted to be laid down with precision. His interest apparently lay …
Challenges To The Array, Edson R. Sunderland
Challenges To The Array, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
Trial by jury demands impartial jurors as the indispensable basis for public confidence. And the first requisite for obtaining impartiality is indifference on the part of those who select the jury. This was fully recognized at the common law, and ever since the days when jurors ceased to be witnesses and became triers of facts, it was a good objection to the entire panel that the sheriff was not indifferent between the parties in the selection and summoning of the jury. Prejudice on the part of individual jurors could be met by challenges to the polls, but when favor lurked …

Perpetuity Statutes, Edwin C. Goddard
Perpetuity Statutes, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
THE common law of perpetuities is one of the most interesting examples of almost pure judicial legislation. De Donis, The Statutes of Uses and of Wills, but gave wider scope to the development by the courts of rules of law to thwart the attempt of the great landowners to tie up their landed estates in their families in perpetuity. One body of rules to this end limited restraints upon alienation, another the creation of future interests vesting at too remote a period. Restriction of restraints upon alienation, and the rule against perpetuities, these two were developed for the same end, …

Unrecognized Government Or State In English And American Law (Part 2), Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
PROBABLY no one in the British Empire or the United States would question the doctrine that it belongs exclusively to the political departments to recognize new governments or states. The difficulties involved are those which arise in the application of a doctrine so broadly stated. Not every situation involving an unrecognized government or state requires the decision of a question of recognition. If the decision of a political question is not involved, then it is entirely proper for the courts to take cognizance of a mere de facto government or state. In what situations may the courts appropriately take account …
Divorce Problems In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich
Divorce Problems In The Conflict Of Laws, Herbert F. Goodrich
Articles
Divorce may be considered as the termination of the legal relationship between husband and wife by an act of the law. With the purely local aspect of legal questions regarding divorce, Conflict of Laws is not concerned. If a husband and wife are married and have their home in one state, legal questions concerning their divorce are local matters only. These will include the grounds for divorce, the particular court in which the action is brought, the procedure to be followed from commencement to termination of the action. In such a case it is only when some question concerning the …
International Recognition And The National Courts, Edwin D. Dickinson
International Recognition And The National Courts, Edwin D. Dickinson
Articles
The extending of international recognition to a new government or a new state is a political function which belongs exclusively to the political departments of government. It follows that whenever the question of recognition or not is really involved in litigation the court should inform itself, as to the course pursued by the appropriate political department and decide accordingly. This much, if it ever needed to be settled, may now be regarded as settled beyond peradventure.
Public Utility Valuation, Edwin C. Goddard
Public Utility Valuation, Edwin C. Goddard
Articles
It has been so often remarked that the "valuation" of public utilities is determined by no rule of thumb, that there are no fixed rules or formulas to guide courts or commissions, that determination of value as a rate base is matter of judgment and discretion in each case, Minnesota Rate Cares, 230 U. S. 352, 434, that the statement has come to be believed by reason in part of its much repetition. It is usually accepted as axiomatic. The glorious uncertainty resulting from such an admission will continue so long as judgments of one man or set of men …

Social And Economic Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robert Eugene Cushman
Social And Economic Interpretation Of The Fourteenth Amendment, Robert Eugene Cushman
Michigan Law Review
For those who love precision and definiteness the question of the application of the Fourteenth Amendment to social and economic problems remains an irritating enigma. The judicial construction of due process of law and the equal protection of the law has from the first discouraged systematic analysis and defied synthesis. More than one writer has emerged from the study of the problem with a neat and compact set of fundamental principles, only to have the Supreme Court discourteously ignore them in its next case. But paradoxical as it may seem, those who long for a wise and forward-looking solution of …
Certiorari As Used By The Supreme Court In The Interest Of Harmony Of Opinion And Uniformity Of The Law, W. W. Graves
Certiorari As Used By The Supreme Court In The Interest Of Harmony Of Opinion And Uniformity Of The Law, W. W. Graves
University of Missouri Bulletin Law Series
It is not my purpose to discuss the writ of certiorari in general, but only such writ as used by the Supreme Court and as directed to the several Courts of Appeals in the interest of harmony of the case law of the state. But whilst this is the purpose I have in mind, yet some general thoughts are not inappropriate. In Missouri we have no general statutes covering the subject of certiorari, as we have covering prohibition, mandamus, habeas corpus and quo warranto. In most respects we use the writ as recognized at common law, and it is no …

Admiralty - Workmen's Compensation - Is a Hydroplane a Vessel? - Claimant was employed in the care and management of a hydroplane which was moored in navigable waters. The hydroplane began to drag anchor and drift toward the beach, where it was in danger of being wrecked. Claimant waded into the water and was struck by the propeller. Held, claimant is not entitled to compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Law, since a hydroplane while on navigable waters is a vessel, and therefore the jurisdiction of the admiralty excludes that of the State Industrial Commission. Reinhardt v. Newport Flying Service Corp. …
Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Indemnity Act Of 1863 A Study In The War-Time Immunity Of Governmental Officers, James G. Randall
Michigan Law Review
One of the familiar measures of the Union administration during the Civil War was the suspension of the habeas corpus privilege and the consequent subjection of civilians to military authority. The essential irregularity of such a situation in American law is especially conspicuous when one considers its inevitable sequel-namely, the protection of military and civil officers from such prosecution as would normally follow invasion of private rights and actual injury of persons and property. Such protection was supplied by a bill of indemnity passed in 1863, and this law, with its amendment of i866, forms a significant chapter in the …

Methods For Relieving Courts Of Last Resort From The Growing Burden Of Appeals, Edson R. Sunderland
Articles
"At the last meeting of the Michigan State Bar Association, held in Detroit in June, 1920, the question of employing an intermediate appellate court in this state, as a means for relieving the Supreme Court and expediting the disposal of appeals, was discussed at some length, and it was thereupon moved and carried that the whole subject be referred to the Committee on Legislation and Law Reform to be investigated, and that the Committee report upon the matter at the next meeting of the Association."

Supreme Court's Construction Of The Federal Constitution In 1920-1921, Thomas Reed Powell
Michigan Law Review
Cases Arising under the Constitution or Laws of the United States. The question whether a case presents a "federal question," so called, is raised in a number of the controversies in which the asserted federal question was considered and answered. Only a few of these instances need special mention. In Hartford Life Ins. Co. v. Blincoe,3 after reversal by the Supreme Court of a state judgment against a defendant, a second judgment was rendered by the state court on different grounds. These included holding an assessment on an insurance policy to be void for the inclusion of a state tax …

Adverse Possession - What Acts of Strangers Constitute an Interruption - Claimant by adverse possession showed that he had fenced in the land in controversy, and had used it for pasturing cattle during a period sufficient to satisfy the Statute of Limitations. Defendant offered evidence to show that strangers had trapped upon this land during the greater part of this period, and that one party in particular had repeatedly set traps there over protests of the adverse claimant, and that no action had been successfully prosecuted against hi,-although adverse claimant had threatened to prosecute. It did not appear whether the …
Requisitioned And The Government-Owned Ship, J. Whitla Stinson
Requisitioned And The Government-Owned Ship, J. Whitla Stinson
Michigan Law Review
Jurisdiction over requisitioned and government-owned merchantmen and their liabilities under maritime laws are questions which present no real novelty. They were regarded by the ancient sea-law and were as familiar to it as they have recently become,-on account of the exigencies of the late war, to the admiralty systems of to-day. The maritime law of Rome supplies modem cases with the most cogent parallels and is reflected today in the jurisprudence of France and other continental and Latin countries. The jurisdictional question which figures most prominently in these cases relates to the authority to arrest or libel the property of …

Taxation - Internal Revenue Act - Under the federal Revenue Act of i921 the taxable profit or deductible loss on sales of stock, bonds and other property is the actual profit or loss, if the purchase was after February I, 1913. Act, § 2o2 (a). The tax payer (other than a corporation) may, however, at his option, pay a flat tax of 1232% on his profit, provided he has held the property more than two years, and provided further that he first deducts losses on other property, and provided further, that his total tax is at least 1232% of his …
Service As A Requirement Of Due Process In Actions In Personam, Charles Kellogg Burdick
Service As A Requirement Of Due Process In Actions In Personam, Charles Kellogg Burdick
Michigan Law Review
A prime requisite of due process is, of course, that the court shall have jurisdiction of the subject-matter. "To give such proceedings any validity, there must be a tribunal competent by its constitution-that is, by the law of its creation-to pass upon the subject-matter of the suit."' In proceedings in personam-proceedings to determine the personal liability of the defendant, no property being brought by the proceedings within the control of the court-the court must also have jurisdiction of the defendant. Attempts have repeatedly been made to take jurisdiction of nonresident defendants through service by publication or through personal service made …

Attorney's Interest in His Case undera Contract for Contingent Fees - Absolute protection for an attorney who has given services in a cause wherein he runs the risk of receiving no compensation for his efforts would require that he be considered as having an equitable assignment of the specified percentage of the judgment from the filing of the first paper, and that he have the right to carry the case through to final judgment, on his own behalf, any desire of his client to discontinue, dismiss or compromise to the contrary notwithstanding. On the other hand, the courts frequently say …

Growth And Development Of The Police Power Of The State, Collins Denny Jr
Growth And Development Of The Police Power Of The State, Collins Denny Jr
Michigan Law Review
The police power of the state is one of the most difficult phases of our law to understand, and it is even more difficult to define it and to place it within any bounds. In speaking of this power the court has recently said: "It extends not only to regulations which promote the public health, morals, and safety, but to those which promote the public convenience or the general prosperity. * * * It is the most essential of powers, at times the most insistent, and always one of the least limitable of the powers of government."' The term is …
