Chinese Communist Law: Its Background And Development, Luke T. Lee
Michigan Law Review
It is perhaps axiomatic to state that law is more than an instrument for the settlement of disputes and punishment of wrongdoers; it is, more importantly, a reflection of the way of life and the philosophy of the people that live under it. Self-evident though the above may be, it bears repeating here, for there is a much greater need for understanding Chinese law now than ever before. China's growing ideological, political, economic, and military impact on the rest of the world would alone serve as a powerful motivation for the study of its law. Certainly, we could not even …

Trial Of Legal Issues In Injunction Against Tort, Edgar N. Durfee
Trial Of Legal Issues In Injunction Against Tort, Edgar N. Durfee
Michigan Law Review
This essay appeared in a casebook on Equitable Remedies that was used for years in mimeographed form at the University of Michigan Law School. It was never prepared for final publication by Professor Durfee himself, but the numerous changes made in his own personal copy indicate that he had given much thought to the subject. Professor John P. Dawson who had collaborated with Professor Durfee has incorporated these changes in the present text. More changes might have been made by Professor Durfee if he had planned to publish it. The editors believe that as it stands it deserves a wider …
Comparative Legal Research, Some Remarks On "Looking Out Of The Cave", Hessel E. Yntema
Comparative Legal Research, Some Remarks On "Looking Out Of The Cave", Hessel E. Yntema
Michigan Law Review
Despite this risk and without limiting discussion of comparative legal research to a Platonic theory of knowledge-to which I for one would not accede-the text prompts first the inquiry, unavoidable in a constructive discussion of the matter, whether contemporary legal study in the United States is concerned with shadows in an intellectual cave-or in other words, whether it is true, as I was told years ago, partly perhaps in jest, by a late distinguished member of the Supreme Court, then Attorney General, when, encountering me on a visit to the Department of Justice, he kindly asked what I was looking …

The Law School 1952-53, E. Blythe Stason
The Law School 1952-53, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
In reporting the current news of the Law School we must first speak of the students without whom the school would not exist. Another year has opened, this time with about a ten per cent reduction below last year in student enrollment, and consequently considerable relief from the rather overwhelming peaks of the earlier postwar years. Lawyers are deemed expendable in a military program, and, accordingly, a large proportion of college students intending to study law have, since the beginning of the Korean "police action" in 1950, been called to duty by their Selective Service boards immediately after graduation from …

The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason
The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
Notwithstanding the fact that the peak of postwar veterans' enrollment is supposed to have subsided, the 1949-50 enrollment in the Law School remains substantially the same as it has been during the past several years. Last year we recorded a total of 1057 students; this year the figure is 1030. The beginning class of 409 students, together with 273 second-year and 328 third-year students, to which must be added 20 graduate students, all add up to the total, 1030. Thirty-three of the total are women, the largest women's enrollment ever recorded in the School. The group of 20 graduate students …

The Law School 1948-1949, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
Oversized enrollment again characterizes the student body of the University of Michigan Law School for the year 1948-49. Somewhat reduced from last year's record of 1107 prospective lawyers, this year the William W. Cook Law Quadrangle is accommodating 1057 future members of the bar. The beginning class of 426 students, together with 279 second year students, 339 seniors, 10 candidates for the graduate degrees, and 3 special students all add up to 1057 total. In the total are included 24 future Portias of the bar. These figures should be compared and contrasted with pre-war enrollments approximating 600-650 students. The demand …

The Law School 1947-1948, E. Blythe Stason
Michigan Law Review
The academic year 1947-1948 opened with the largest student enrollment in the history of the University of Michigan Law School, overflowing the Law Quadrangle and making the year notable for large classes and keen competition. The 417 beginning students, 329 second-year students, 345 seniors, 10 candidates for advanced degrees in law, and 6 special students, all add up to a grand total of 1107 prospective lawyers. This figure compares with an enrollment of 956 at a corresponding time in the fall semester a year ago, and 641 in the pre-war year 1940-1941.
Clovis Bevilaqua And The Brazilian Civil Code, Anyda Marchant
Clovis Bevilaqua And The Brazilian Civil Code, Anyda Marchant
Michigan Law Review
Clovis Bevilaqua is a monument in the history of Brazilian law. His death on July 26, 1944, closed the door on an epoch. When he began his career in the eighties, Brazilian law, with the exception of the commercial code, was uncoordinated and outmoded. Now. Brazil is in a period of very active work on the recodification of its laws and their adaptation to the needs of modern life. Not all of this change is the work of one man, but Bevilaqua was the principal lingering representative, among the lawyers, of the intellectual movement that accompanied the setting up of …
Developments In The Conflict Of Laws, 1902-1942, Ernest G. Lorenzen
Developments In The Conflict Of Laws, 1902-1942, Ernest G. Lorenzen
Michigan Law Review
The writer's interest in the conflict of laws coextends substantially with the life of the Michigan Law Review. This may be some excuse for attempting to trace some of the developments in this field in the intervening years. Let us consider first what has happened in this country and thereupon what has occurred in the rest of the world.

Dean Bates And The Michigan Law School, Edwin C. Goddard
Michigan Law Review
From its opening in October, 1859, the Law School of the University of Michigan has been fortunate in the continuity of the service of the members of its faculty. The original faculty consisted of that remarkable trio, James V. Campbell, Charles I. Walker and Thomas M. Cooley. Instruction was given by lecture, and almost continuously for twenty-five years those three continued to expound the principles of the law to the students who flocked to the school.

The Contribution Of Thomas M. Cooley To Bryce's "American Commonwealth", Everett S. Brown
Michigan Law Review
In the preface to The American Commonwealth, James Bryce acknowledged his indebtedness to numerous friends who, in one way or other, aided him in the writing of his book. First on this list is the name of Thomas M. Cooley. An examination of the text and footnotes of The American Commonwealth shows that Bryce was well acquainted with Cooley's published works, especially his Constitutional Limitations and his General Principles of Constitutional Law, which he quoted frequently with approval and respect. Also one finds six references to letters from Judge Cooley or to observations made directly by him to Bryce. But …

Among all the writings that have appeared on the problem of preserving the order of world society, the most searching and the most illuminating is Hart's Bulwarks of Peace. Particularly in connection with any consideration of the plan of the Paris Covenant of the League of Nations, it compellingly arrests attention.
