Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves Jan 1915

Neutralization Of Belgium And The Doctrine Of Kriegsraison, Jesse S. Reeves

Michigan Law Review

Anything which Professor Niemeyer has to say in the field of International Law is deserving of serious attention. Under his editorial supervision the ZEITSCHRIFT INTERNATIONALES RECHT has become a valuable factor in the development of International Law in Germany. The foregoing article, which recently appeared in the JURISTICHE WOCHENSCHRIFT, has been translated with his consent with a view to its publication in these pages. The leading thought of the article is to arrive at a justification of Germany's failure to observe the Treaty of London of 1839 from the point of view of International Law. He rests his case (1) …

Note And Comment, Edwin C. Goddard, Ralph W. Aigler, Robert L. Mayall, Charles A. Wagner, Hester E. Yntema

Michigan Law Review

The Effect of the Carmack Amendment to the Hepburn Act Upon Limitation by Common Carrier of the Amount of their Liability - Two cases, decided by the Supreme Court of the United States on March 10, 1913, may be considered together. They are developments of the cases reviewed in II MICH. L. Rev. 460. Plaintiff shipped two boxes and a barrel of 'household goods" under an agreement that the goods, in case of loss, should be valued at $5 per hundred-weight. One box, weighing not over 200 pounds and actually worth $75, was lost. The Supreme Court of Arkansas affirmed …

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore May 1909

International Arbitration, Joseph B. Moore

Michigan Law Review

The history of the race whether considered as one of individuals or as nations has been one of struggle. Did one individual fancy another had done him a wrong, he proceeded to right that wrong himself by the exercise of force. From the day when Cain killed his brother Abel, for many centuries contests between individuals were settled, not as justice dictated, but by brute force. The result was a disorderly condition of society unfavorable to peaceful conditions. In the evolution of the race, when men differed, instead of attempting to settle their differences by force, tribunals were brought into …


The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd Feb 1908

The Work Of The Second Hague Conference, W. F. Dodd

Michigan Law Review

The second Hague Conference came to an end on October 18, 1907, after sitting for more than four months. In the popular mind the Conference has been dismissed as a failure. No sensational actions were taken, and the quiet and solid work of a group of international lawyers has had little attraction for the general public. It is, however, worth while to make a plain statement of what the Conference did and did not accomplish. The first Hague Conference in 1899 was essentially a peace conference. The question of partial disarmament was put at the head of the Russian program …


Amenability Of Military Persons To The Laws Of The Land, Charles E. Smoyter Nov 1906

Amenability Of Military Persons To The Laws Of The Land, Charles E. Smoyter

Michigan Law Review

I. To. United States Courts. 2. To State Courts. 3. To Military Courts. General Principles of Amenability-Courts and text writers not unfrequently enunciate as a general principle that military authority is subordinate to civil law. Accepted literally, the broad statement can be sustained by neither law nor precedent. The federal constitution provides for three kinds of military jurisdiction: (a) That known as Military Law, designed to be exercised both in time of peace and war and acquiring its authenticity from the acts of Congress prescribing army regulations and the rules and articles of war, as well as from the established …


War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers Dec 1905

War Arbitration And Peace, William Perry Rogers

Michigan Law Review

In examining any question which pertains to the welfare of humanity there are two prominent view points from which to start. One is that of the individual being; the isolated man; the unit of society. The other is that of the mass of mankind; the people as a whole; the corporate organization of states and nations. There are those who believe in a God of nations. They believe He guides their destinies in perils of battle, and in great and dangerous emergencies; but they insist that He has little or nothing to do with the affairs of the individual. Conversely, …


Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey Nov 1904

Russian Raids On Neutral Commerce, Edwin Maxey

Michigan Law Review

The capture made by the Russian volunteer vessels in the Red Sea and by the Vladivostock fleet off the coast of Japan have revivified the question of the extent to which a belligerent may lawfully go in interfering with neutral commerce. Perhaps no question of international law has been prolific of more disputes than that of neutral rights. The intensity of feeling and desire for advantage incident to war are apt to cause belligerents to overlook neutral rights, and in their zeal to cripple an immediate enemy, to forget that they in turn will become neutrals and be transfixed by …
