Cooperation Between The Bar And The Public In Improving The Administration Of Justice, Edson R. Sunderland Oct 1925

Cooperation Between The Bar And The Public In Improving The Administration Of Justice, Edson R. Sunderland

Articles

Professor Sunderland compares public participation in the legal systems of the United States and Great Britain. "There must be a partnership between the profession and the laity for improving the administration of justice. Law must become a matter of public concern, and not treated as a mere perquisite of a professional class."

Michigan Law Review

What does a judge do when he decides a case? It would be interesting to collect the answers ranging from those furnished by primitive systems of law in which the judge was supposed to consult the gods to the ultra-modern, rather profane system described to me recently by a retrospective judge: "I make up my mind which way the case ought to be decided, and then I see if I can't get some legal ground to make it stick." Perhaps the widespread impression is the curiously erroneous one lampooned by Gnaeus Flavius (Kantorowitz). The judge is supposed to sit at …

Michigan Law Review

Maritime Liens - Personality of Ship - In Coal Company v. Fisheries Company (Advanced Sheets, Nov. 15, ig2o), the Supreme Court denies a lien for supplies of coal furnished the owner of a fleet of vessels for use thereon and, incidentally, brings into stronger relief the admiralty doctrine of the personality of the ship as distinguished from that of the owner. At the time the arrangement was made, the shipowner was without money or credit and could not enter upon its operations without a supply of coal for its ships and factories. The Coal Company agreed to supply its requirements …

Plurality Of Advantage And Disadvantage In Jural Relations, Albert Kocourek Nov 1920

Plurality Of Advantage And Disadvantage In Jural Relations, Albert Kocourek

Michigan Law Review

A recent writer has inveighed, not without some declamation, against the use of rhetoric in the field of law-making.1 But rhetoric finds a place, and often an unprofitable one, not only in legislation, but even in technical legal analysis. Metonymy (change of name) has often been pointed out. When we say that X is the owner of blackacre, what we mean is that X has certain legal advantages concerning blackacre; in other words, that X is the holder or dominus of claims (rights) and powers concerning certain land. Synecdoche (saying more or less than i' meant) is very commonly found; …

The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park Dec 1909

The Public Service Of The Future Lawyer, John C. Park

Michigan Law Review

The lawyer has two characters. He is a private personage, and as such cares for his family, contributes to the local improvement and philanthropies and conducts the common business affairs of his clients. He is also a public functionary and as such his usefulness is not confined to appearance in court and the conduct of litigation. From him must be had the counsel necessary in public movements, his brain must plan and his hand write the rules necessary to make right and wrong govern modem conditions. His must be the thought which shall stir the people to action. In him …

Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller Dec 1909

Some Questions In Connection With State Rate Regulation, Guy A. Miller

Michigan Law Review

There are probably few questions of greater interest, both present and future, than those which concern the relations between corporations performing the so-called public services on the one hand, and their immediate patrons and the general public on the other. These questions relate to the quality and safety of the services rendered, to the rights of all members of the public to receive service without discrimination, and to the charges which may be exacted for those services. To a great extent they involve matters of public policy and economics, rather than those which are strictly legal in nature, while even …

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy Nov 1908

An Organic Conception Of The Treaty-Making Power Vs. State Rights As Applicable To The United States, Charles Sumner Clancy

Michigan Law Review

When we talk of the State, its rights or its structures, we are necessarily led to the inquiry, "What do we mean by the State?" Beginning with the proposition that the State is a composite formed of individuals whose lives are shaped by the life of the whole, it necessarily follows that a perfect understanding of any particular State would involve a knowledge of the characteristics of the members who compose it. This of course is obviously impossible, but the theory underlying States generally is founded upon general human characteristics. So we may take as a basis the great truth …

Revision Of The Laws Of The United States, Everett P. Wheeler Jan 1907

Revision Of The Laws Of The United States, Everett P. Wheeler

Michigan Law Review

June 22, 1874, President Grant put his signature to a great quarto volume which we know as the United States Revised Statutes. This has since been amended, and many additions have been made to the general laws of the United States which have not been incorporated in the Revised Statutes. These are scattered through the Statutes at Large, mingled with many temporary provisions. To convert this chaos into order, Congress in 1897 created a Commission to revise the Criminal and Penal Laws of the United States. In 1899 the duties of this Commission were extended to a revision of the …
