Implementing The Tokyo Round: Legal Aspects Of Changing International Economic Rules, John H. Jackson, Jean-Victor Louis, Mitsuo Matsushita
Implementing The Tokyo Round: Legal Aspects Of Changing International Economic Rules, John H. Jackson, Jean-Victor Louis, Mitsuo Matsushita
Michigan Law Review
International economic and political interdependence has increased dramatically since the close of World War II. We now watch foreign wars on our living room television sets, move billions of dollars worth of funds across national borders daily, and feel the effects of political violence in the Mideast throughout our domestic farmlands. A corollary to economic and political interdependence, however, is the less visible but equally pervasive problem of legal interdependence. Any attempt, in the contemporary world, to create new international rules or institutions necessarily depends on the national legal and constitutional systems of a number of countries. This Article analyzes …

Conflict-Of-Laws Rules By Treaty: Recognition Of Companies In A Regional Market, Eric Stein
Conflict-Of-Laws Rules By Treaty: Recognition Of Companies In A Regional Market, Eric Stein
Michigan Law Review
The term "recognition" has many meanings. We speak in family law of a "recognized child," in public international law of recognizing a newly emerged state or newly installed government, and in private international law (conflict of laws) of recognizing foreign judgments or legal persons. In both public and private international law, it is the nation-state that grants or denies recognition. In public international law, the "recognizing" nation-state expresses "a value judgment acknowledging that a given fact situation is in accord with the exigencies of the international legal order." In private international law (or conflict of laws), on the other hand, …
Foreign Investment Protection: A Reasoned Approach, Earl Snyder
Foreign Investment Protection: A Reasoned Approach, Earl Snyder
Michigan Law Review
The main purpose in protecting private foreign investment is to encourage capital to move to newly developing nations in spite of serious, existing non-business risks. These risks are (1) the political risk (outright and "creeping" expropriation), (2) the transfer risk ( currency controls and inconvertibility of funds), and (3) the calamity risk (insurrection, revolution, war, etc.). But why encourage this? Why should an affluent, powerful nation seek, in effect, to transport overseas some of its affluence and power? Why--in the case of the United States-should encouragement be given to that which may, according to some, tend to tip still more …

Appeal And Error-Eisler's Flight And The Case And Controversy Question, Albert B. Perlin, Jr. S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari to review a federal court conviction on a charge of contempt of Congress. Pending determination of the appeal, appellant was released on bail and, after argument on the merits but before a decision had been rendered, he wrongfully fled the country. Subsequently the Attorney General notified the Court that appellant had been apprehended in England at the request of the Secretary of State and that a court of competent jurisdiction there found that appellant was not guilty of an extraditable offense under English law. The Court of its own motion then considered the …
Conflict Of Laws-Application Of Estoppel To Invalid Divorces-Mexican "Mail Order" Divorce, Charles E. Becraft S.Ed.
Conflict Of Laws-Application Of Estoppel To Invalid Divorces-Mexican "Mail Order" Divorce, Charles E. Becraft S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Plaintiff and defendant, who wished to marry, persuaded defendant's wife to agree to a Mexican "mail order" divorce. The spouses executed and delivered powers of attorney to counsel residing in Mexico, where a divorce was granted and the decree mailed back to New York. Neither of the parties went to Mexico, nor did the decree of the Mexican court recite presence or domicile of either spouse. Upon learning that the decree had been granted, plaintiff and defendant were married in Virginia and then returned to New York, their state of domicile. In 1946, the plaintiff commenced this action, asking for …

Legal Liability For War Damage, John Hanna
Legal Liability For War Damage, John Hanna
Michigan Law Review
This article considers some of the rules for determining liability for economic loss in respect of war claims, especially as applied in connection with claims of life insurance companies for loss of premiums, of insurers of property for war risk insurance premiums, of property insurers for sums paid to foreign policyholders on war losses, and of owners seeking to recover for loss of expected profits. The rules discussed are broadly applicable to international claims in general.
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
League Of Nations And The Constitution, J M. Matthews
Michigan Law Review
The Covenant for a League of Nations has justly aroused an immense amount of discussion in this country, since it undoubtedly presents to the American nation the most important of the many questions of foreign policy growing out of the Great War. Most of this discussion has dealt with the matter solely from the standpoint of policy or expediency, without noticing the interesting constitutional questions involved. When the Covenant has, on occasion, been considered from the constitutional point of view, such corsideration has generally been merely incidental and the writer's or speaker's views as to the desirability of subscribing to …

Book Reviews, Edson R. Sunderland, Edwin D. Dickinson
Michigan Law Review
Unless lawyers are an unimaginative and hopelessly backward-looking social group, as some unkind critics have asserted, they will find this book one of he most suggestive and stimulating contributions to legal literature that has appeared in recent years. It touches in a broad way the whole field of the relation of legal institutions and the legal profession to the major problems of society. It demonstr4tes in a most striking manner how those who plan and administer the machinery of the law must awake to the fact that they form the front line of civilization's defense against anarchy. And it presents …
