The Law School 1949-50, E. Blythe Stason Dec 1949

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 …

Place Of Trial Of Civil Cases, William Wirt Blume Nov 1949

Place Of Trial Of Civil Cases, William Wirt Blume

Michigan Law Review

Places involved in a study of place of trial may be classified in various ways. The most general classification is: (1) Places within one sovereignty, (2) Places in different sovereignties. Where there is choice of place within one sovereignty, the only rational basis for making the choice is convenience-convenience of the parties, jurors, witnesses, and of the court itself. The same is true when the choice is between courts of different sovereignties, but without cooperation between the sovereignties rational choice may not be possible. The purpose of this discussion is to compare choice of place in England before 1800 with …


Administrative Terminology And The Administrative Procedure Act, Bernard Schwartz Nov 1949

Administrative Terminology And The Administrative Procedure Act, Bernard Schwartz

Michigan Law Review

The confusion of terminology in our administrative law is a natural result of the manner in which that branch of law has developed. "The use of terms in administrative law exemplifies its most characteristic element-that it did not spring from a single source but has its roots in many places." The administrative process has not evolved according to a fixed plan; "thus far our Administrative Law has largely 'growed' like Topsy." With the haphazard habit characteristic of our political life, individual administrative agencies have been created as and when the need for them arose, without any logical system. The form …

Coming Into Equity With Clean Hands, Zechariah Chafee, Jr. May 1949

Coming Into Equity With Clean Hands, Zechariah Chafee, Jr.

Michigan Law Review

The most amusing maxim of equity is "He who comes into Equity must come with clean hands." It has given rise ,to many interesting cases and poor jokes. The maxim has been regarded as an especially significant manifestation of the ethical attitude of equity as contrasted with the common law. Pomeroy, for instance, argues that the principle involved in this maxim is "merely the expression of one of the elementary and fundamental conceptions of equity jurisprudence." Pomeroy's theory is that chancery has power to force a defendant to comply with the dictates of conscience as to matters outside the strict …


Trustor As Sole Trustee And Only Ascertainable Beneficiary, William F. Fratche May 1949

Trustor As Sole Trustee And Only Ascertainable Beneficiary, William F. Fratche

Michigan Law Review

The Circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, one judge dissenting, affirmed a decision of the Board of Tax Appeals holding that a profit arising from sale of the stock was taxable to the settlor individually because the declaration did not create a trust. The majority opinion argued that, although a trust may be created solely for the benefit of unborn or unascertained beneficiaries by a transfer to a third party as trustee, it cannot be done by a declaration of trust. The opinion suggested that a transfer in trust for unborn or unascertained beneficiaries creates only a resulting …

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Jurist In Limine: Dissent And The Judging Faculty, A. J. Levin Feb 1949

Mr. Justice William Johnson, Jurist In Limine: Dissent And The Judging Faculty, A. J. Levin

Michigan Law Review

There is little more in the legal literature on the subject of dissent than, on the one hand, the feeling that somehow it helps to present more than one side of a question and, on the other, that dissent is confusing and unsettling, and, therefore to be avoided. The part that dissent has played in preventing "history" from becoming the routine repetition of events, the function it fulfills in saving mankind from a mechanical adherence to an authoritarian concept of society, the psychodynamic need of the individual for self-expression-particularly evident in democratic societies-these and other related approaches have had not …


The Presidential Succession Act Of I947, Ruth C. Silva Feb 1949

The Presidential Succession Act Of I947, Ruth C. Silva

Michigan Law Review

The Constitution of the United States empowers the Congress to designate what officer shall act as President in case of the death, resignation, removal, or inability of both the President and Vice President. Recently the Eightieth Congress passed a statute under this grant of power. Although the new succession act is frequently alleged to be unconstitutional, it is similar to the first succession law enacted by the Second Congress, which contained many of the men who framed the Constitution and voted for its ratification. The law of 1792 provided that the President pro tempore of the Senate or, if the …

Founding Fathers And The Natural Law: A Study Of The Source Of Our Legal Institutions, The, Clarence Emmett Manion Jan 1949

Founding Fathers And The Natural Law: A Study Of The Source Of Our Legal Institutions, The, Clarence Emmett Manion

Journal Articles

Where did the Founding Fathers get the principles upon which they established our government? What was the source of their faith? The bedrock of their convictions? What was the political evolution of our Constitution? The legal philosophy of our Bill of Rights? The discussion of these questions by Dean Manion is timely for it is necessary now to make soundings and take bearings if the Ship of State is to continue on its true course. Whereas the Revolution of 1688 brought the doctrine of parliamentary sovereignty to England, the American colonists resisted that doctrine and adhered to the true natural …

Mr. Justice Mcreynolds -- An Appreciation, R. V. Fletcher Dec 1948

Mr. Justice Mcreynolds -- An Appreciation, R. V. Fletcher

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the course of the memorial exercises in honor of Justice McReynolds, held in the Supreme Court of the United States on March 31, 1948, the Attorney General made the significant statement that McReynolds was neither liberal nor conservative." This observation was made in connection with the statement that the Justice, when he was appointed to the Court, was considered a liberal, and when he left the Court, a conservative. His characterization as a liberal was by reason of his experience as a prosecutor in antitrust cases; his reputation for conservatism rests upon his attitude toward legislative measures and economic …

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 …
