If there is a living American qualified to prepare material for the student of future interests probably law teachers would agree that Professor Kales is the man. He has written a book on Future Estates in Illinois which has made a distinct impression on the law of that state and is recognized elsewhere as a sound and scholarly treatise. He has taught the course on future interests and illegal restraints at Northwestern University Law School for many years, and last year gave the same course at Harvard.

Michigan Law Review

It was peculiarly fortunate for the cause of the American Revolution that the sympathies of the French people and the policies of the French foreign office which knew no diplomatic methods save those of secret diplomacy, were for once heartily in accord in support of the American revolutionists. Professor Corwin in this book deals entirely with the complicated and obscure political plots and counter-plots which eventually led France to espouse openly the cause of the revolting colonies. The whole question of the timely aid France gave to America has, of course, a very particular value at the present time when …

Professor Husband's book deals with two problems, the date of the trial and crucifixion of Jesus, and the legal aspects of the proceedings against him. In both divisions of the subject his conclusions are novel and are supported by able argumentation.

The Rule-Making Authority in the English Supreme Court, by Samuel Rosenbaum. Boston, The Boston Book Co., 1917, pp. xiv, 321. This volume is the fourth in the University of Pennsylvania Law School Series, and is the work of a fellow of that school during the years 1913-1915. In common with the other books of the series, its object is to aid the scientific study of legal problems and to help to improve the law. No subject, surely, is more worthy of presentation to American readers than this, and none is more full of important suggestions for the improvement of our …

General Statement

The Richmond College Law School

The important facts about legal education have aroused the founders, trustees, instructors and friends of the Law School in Richmond College. The most determined efforts are now being made to hew out an improved road in the legal educa-tion of the South. Along with the complication in social affairs, due to our rapidly expanding industrialization, must arise and grow the highly-skilled, well-trained, socially-conscious Southern jurist. Our increased dignity and our growing in-fluence in the world make irresistible this demand upon us. Richmond College, in full time, hopes to do its part in this …

Judgment Against Shylock In The Merchant Of Venice, Thomas Niemeyer

Michigan Law Review

This subject has already received the attention of jurists. In 1872 von Jhering in his famous lecture "The Struggle for Law"' criticised severely the established admiration of the speech of Portia. von Jhering attacked this speech with great vigour and indeed spoke of it as a miserable subterfuge - the rabulous trick of a pettifogger. He finds that through this speech a truly tragic lot befell Shylock; a fate brought about by the usurer's lawful struggle for his rights, and through which the law of Venice was transfigured.

Leading And Illustrative Cases: With Notes On The Law Of Judgments, Attachments, Garnishments And Executions, John R. Rood

Books

The prior edition being exhausted, this one became necessary. The scope of the book has been considerably changed by developing the law of jurisdiction and the estoppel by judgments. Room for this has been obtained by dropping some of the less important cases on other topics. In several instances a case has been displaced by another on the same point, because thought to cover the matter better.

The Liability Of Charitable Corporations For The Torts Of Their Servants, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The Liability of Charitable Corporations for the Torts of their Servants.--This question was discussed quite fully in the last number of the REVIEW, pp. 552-559, under the title Liability of Hospitals for the Negligence of their Physicians and Nurses, particular attention being given to the reasons underlying the doctrine that charitable corporations are not liable for the negligence of their servants, provided proper care has been exercised in their selection, and to the limitations within which that doctrine should be confined. It was concluded that the true reason for the doctrine is not to be found, as many cases apparently …

The Cy-Pres Doctrine, Harry B. Hutchins

Articles

The CY-Pres Doctrine.-The court of chancery of New Jersey in the recent case of Brow et al. v. Condit et al. (Sept. 30, 1905), 61 Atl. Rep. 1055, refused to apply this doctrine under the following circumstances: The will of one Susan M. Corson, bearing date July 7, 1897, disposed of her residuary estate "to the Hospital Fund for Sick Seamen at Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York, care of Mr. John M. Wood, chaplain." It appears that neither at the time of the making of the will nor at any time thereafter was there a fund in existence at or …

Cases On The Law Of Damages, Floyd R. Mechem

Books

The following selection of cases in the law of Damages has been made primarily for use in connection with the lectures upon that subject given in the Law Department of the University of Michigan. The purpose has been partly to supply illustrations of the application of principles referred to in the lectures, and partly to supplement the lectures by rounding out the view of certain fields not otherwise completely developed. Arbitrary, but inexorable, considerations of size and price have determined the scope of the selection; and, for reasons perhaps sufficiently obvious, preference has been given, when possible, to cases which …
