Evidence: Contradiction Of Collateral Matter, Robert S. Macfarlane
Evidence: Contradiction Of Collateral Matter, Robert S. Macfarlane
Washington Law Review
It has been said so many times that a party is concluded by the answers of a witness on any collateral matter, that the real rule and the reasons therefor are very generally misunderstood and frequently misapplied. Some cases and some textbooks draw a very clear distinction between impeachment as applied to a collateral matter and contradiction as applied to a collateral matter. The distinguishing feature seems to be found in whether or not the answer sought to be refuted is elicited on direct examination or cross-examination. If an answer given on direct examination is to be disproven it is …
Proof Of Good Faith, Jason L. Honigman
Proof Of Good Faith, Jason L. Honigman
Michigan Law Review
Section 59 of the Uniform Negotiable Instruments Law provides, that, "Every holder is deemed prima facie to be a holder in due course; but when it is shown that the title of any person who has negotiated the instrument was defective, the burden is on the holder to prove that he or some person under whom he claims acquired the title as holder in due course. But the last mentioned rule does not apply in favor of a party who became bound on the instrument prior to the acquisition of such defective title." Numerous questions of interpretation have arisen in …

Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Prohibition And The Doctrine Of The Weeks Case, Thomas E. Atkinson
Michigan Law Review
One of the most disputed present day questions is whether evidence obtained in violation of constitutional guarantees against unreasonable searches and seizures should be admissible. The case of Weeks v. United States is perhaps the leading authority upon the proposition that evidence procured by officers through unreasonable search is not admissible. The holding may be justified upon how theories, vis., (1) that the admission of the evidence substantially violates the rule against self-incrimination in the Fifth Amendment, (2) that the exclusion of the evidence is the only practical means of enforcing the guarantee against unreasonable searches and seizures.
Res Ipsa Loquitur-A Presumption Of Law?
Res Ipsa Loquitur-A Presumption Of Law?
Michigan Law Review
As a general proposition the rule of res ipsa loquitur may be said to apply in those instances where a plaintiff is injured and the instrumentality causing the injury is in the complete control and management of the defendant or his servants and the circumstances are of such a nature that ordinarily no injury would result unless there was some negligence on the part of the defendant The rule finds its justification, it is commonly said, in the fact that the defendant being in control of the instrumentality has almost exclusive means of finding the came of the injury while …

Conflicting Presumptions-Evidence-Adultery
Conflicting Presumptions-Evidence-Adultery
Michigan Law Review
The statutes of Oregon prescribe certain presumptions as applicable in the trial of causes, among which are, 1st, that one charged with crime shall be presumed to be innocent, and 2nd, that "a man and a woman deporting themselves as husband and wife" shall be presumed to "have entered into a lawful contract of marriage". Subd. I and subd. 30 of sec. 799, Or. L.
Irresistible Impulse And Criminal Liability, John Barker Waite
Irresistible Impulse And Criminal Liability, John Barker Waite
Michigan Law Review
Do you believe in free-will, or mechanistic determinism, or fore-ordination, or fatalism? What do you mean by 'irresistible impulse'? What is the purpose of this prosecution against which you advocate, or deny, irresistible impulse as a defense; and just what do you mean by 'defense'? If, instead of one question, "is irresistible impulse a defense", we should ask these other questions of counsel, judge and medical expert, how often would their answers be in accord? Yet the one question can never be intelligently discussed in the absence of certainty and agreement as to the other premises. There are certain combinations …

Crimes-Arrest-Reasonable Cause To Believe
Crimes-Arrest-Reasonable Cause To Believe
Michigan Law Review
The admission of evidence was objected to, in a recent case, on the ground that it had been illegally secured. Officers had arrested the defendant without a warrant, on a charge of illegally transporting liquor. He was in fact guilty of the offense for which arrested, but contended that the evidence secured by the arrest could not be used. The circuit court of appeals phrased the issue thus : ''Was there probable cause for the officers to believe (that the felony was being committed), or were the facts sufficient to give rise merely to a suspicion thereof? If the former, …

Constitutional Law-Restricting Liberty Without Due Process Of Law-Extorted Confessions
Constitutional Law-Restricting Liberty Without Due Process Of Law-Extorted Confessions
Michigan Law Review
Of recent years the administration of criminal justice has increased many-fold, owing to the constantly increasing size of our great cities and the period of growing social unrest in which we find ourselves. Public opinion has demanded a more effective mode of dealing with those who break the law with seeming impunity. In view of this attitude it is only natural that in a particularly baffling crime the police should seek to obtain some clue of the criminals by grilling suspects. This has resulted in many cases in acts which to say the least are over-zealous. In a recent case …

Conclusiveness Of The Federal Trade Commission's Findings As To Facts, Gregory Hankin
Conclusiveness Of The Federal Trade Commission's Findings As To Facts, Gregory Hankin
Michigan Law Review
The Federal Trade Commission Act and the Clayton Act provide that the Commission's findings as to facts, if supported by testimony, shall be conclusive. Now that the Commission has functioned for almost ten years and a considerable number of its findings have been reviewed by the courts, it is interesting to examine the effect of this statutory provision. In other words, are the findings of the Federal Trade Commission as to facts, if supported by testimony, actually conclusive on the courts when appeal is taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals? This we shall discuss apart from the question--"What, as …

Presumptions, Victor H. Lane
Presumptions, Victor H. Lane
Michigan Law Review
Persistent controversial discussions furnish evidence that there are still uncertainties as to some phases of the nature as well as the law of presumptions. We have recently come much nearer to a common understanding in this field, due to most careful and thoughtful discussions of this subject by such masters of it as Thayer and Wigmore and Chamberlayne. It is 'less with the hope of adding significantly new matter than with the belief that even that which smacks of reiteration may still assist in drawing attention which, once aroused, may ultimately dispel the fog, that this brief discussion of the …
