A Milliped New to Michigan (Pselaphognatha: Polyxenus)

The authors wish to report the finding of representatives of the genus Polyxenus for the first time in Michigan (Fig. 1). In Bert M. Johnson\u27s survey (1954) of the millipedes of Michigan, no members of the subclass Pselaphognatha were reported. During the period of September through October 1970, the authors collected over 40 specimens of Polyxenus and observed over 100 in the field. All of the specimens were found in a mature pine stand in Ypsilanti Township

A Course on Economic Justice: The intersection of philosophy and economics

The process of teaching a topic that inhabits the upper reaches of both philosophy and economic theory, while swooping as near the earth as political policy, is both exhilarating and terrifying. To do it well is indeed rare. We present our approach, some of the characteristics and thoughts from our students, and some of the insights that we developed along the way.economics and philosophy; economic justice; interdisciplinary teaching

The geometry of the Barbour-Bertotti theories II. The three body problem

We present a geometric approach to the three-body problem in the non-relativistic context of the Barbour-Bertotti theories. The Riemannian metric characterizing the dynamics is analyzed in detail in terms of the relative separations. Consequences of a conformal symmetry are exploited and the sectional curvatures of geometrically preferred surfaces are computed. The geodesic motions are integrated. Line configurations, which lead to curvature singularities for $N\neq 3$, are investigated. None of the independent scalars formed from the metric and curvature tensor diverges there.Comment: 16 pages, 2 eps figures, to appear in Classical and Quantum Gravit

Full Faith and Credit and Jurisdiction

The judgment of a sister state, when assailed by collateral attack, is often said to occupy a position intermediate between foreign and domestic judgments. Though the older American cases were inclined to examine into the merits of any foreign judgment, the present tendency is toward the adoption of the English view according to which a foreign judgment may be attacked collaterally only for want of jurisdiction or fraud. Dicey, Conflict of Laws (ed. 2) Ch. XVII; see note to Tremblay v. Aetna Life Insurance Co., 97 Me. 547, in 94 Am. St. Rep. 521, 538. But whereas any statement of jurisdictional facts in a foreign judgment is presumptive only, a domestic judgment is free from collateral attack on the ground of jurisdiction, except where lack of jurisdiction appears upon the face of the record. I BLACK, JUDGMENTS (ed. 2), § 274. The courts of New York have declined to accord this favoured position to domestic judgments and apparently make no distinction between domestic judgments and those of a sister state in this matter. Ferguson v. Crawford, 70 N. Y. 253, 26 Am. Rep. 589. In view of the so-called \u27full faith and credit clause\u27 of the constitution (Art. IV, §1), it is difficult to see why the judgment of a sister state should be open to any form of collateral attack to which it is not open in the state where the judgment is rendered. This would seem to follow from the familiar statement of Chief Justice Marshall in Hampton v. McConnel, 3 Wheat. 234 (affirming the doctrine of Mills v. Duryee, 7 Cranch 481), which in the opinion of Justice Holmes is still a correct exposition of the law. Fauntleroy v. Lum, 210 U. S. 230, 236-7

The History of Contract in Early English Equity

“Mr. Barbour’s contribution to the Studies is an attempt to characterize with some precision and detail the functions of the Chancery in the fifteenth century. The court was gradually differentiated from the King’s Council, and the writs of Edward III’s time calling on persons to appear under penalty of a fine or imprisonment (subpoena), and other special injunctions, was generally framed in terms which leave it undecided whether proceedings were to be taken by the King’s Council, or by the Council under the chairmanship of the Chancellor himself with or without the aid of assessors. By the time of Richard II, however, the personal jurisdiction of the Chancellor had acquired a fairly definite range, and was assuming the aspect of a standing institution.” --Prefacehttps://repository.law.umich.edu/books/1069/thumbnail.jp

Extraterritorial Effect of the Equitable Decree

ANYONE whom the study of equity has led into the by-paths of V Canon Law will recall that the Sext ends with a splendid array of imposing maxims, not improbably the source of the Latin maxims with which every lawyer is familiar. The inveterate habit formed by the ecclesiastics of expressing a legal principle in a short and crisp formula persisted when they came into the courts of law and is peculiarly in evidence among the chancellors of the fifteenth century. What may at first have been merely casual became through repetition a habit and the result has been to fasten upon equity a group of maxims which, though they have long outlived the usefulness of their short day, persist vigorously in textbooks and decisions. The difficulty with the maxim is not only that it expresses a result rather than a reason; almost without exception the maxims took shape in an environment utterly different from that of today. While equity has advanced the maxim tends to remain stationary; hence any exposition of equity through maxims involves the danger of obscuring its true development through envisaging modern equity under the limitations of its medimval beginnings. Of all the maxims, none has a more interesting history, none speaks more eloquently of the vortex of jealousy, antagonism and rivalry in which chancery first formulated its doctrines, than \u27Equity acts in personom.\u2
