NOTES ON RECENT MICHIGAN CASES Appeal--Extens1on Of The Statutory Per1od--Mandamus--Plaintiff was summoned to appear in a summary proceeding before a circuit court commissioner. Unable to attend because of alleged illness, she gave her husband sufficient money to settle the claim and instructed him to make payment. Because of his failure to do as directed, judgment was rendered against her in the proceeding; and she was also prevented from taking an appeal within the period of right. Compiled Laws 1915, 14408, provides for an extension of the statutory period within which an appeal may be taken when the party has been prevented from taking the same by circumstances not under his control. Upon defendant's denial of her motion for leave to appeal from the judgment, plaintiff asked for a writ of mandamus compelling its allowance. Held, writ denied, for the dereliction of plaintiff's husband was not such a circumstance beyond her control as will authorize a belated appeal. Kowalsky v. Marschner, Circuit Judge (Mich., 1922), 191 N. W. 32. Generally, the time prescribed by statute for taking an appeal is regarded as jurisdictional and there can be no extension of the time unless such extension is authorized by statute. 3 Corpus Jur1s, 1069. Michigan, among other states, expressly authorizes an extension of time for certain causes. Klotz v. Lenawee Circuit Judge, 159 Mich. 639; Witham v. Clinton Circuit Judge, 159 Mich. 568; Bliss v. Saginaw Circuit Judge, 159 Mich. 507. While some jurisdictions allow an extension of time by stipulation or agreement of the parties: Goodwin v. Fox, 120 U. S. 775; Pipkin v. McArtan, 122 N. C. 194; this court follows the general rule in refusing to permit an extension of the statutory period by consent of...

Book Synopsis The People's Lawyer by : Frank J. Kelley
Download or read book The People's Lawyer written by Frank J. Kelley. This book was released on 2015-09-14. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation’s longest-serving attorney general tells the story of a life that spanned two centuries and a career that helped transform consumer protection and public interest law. After several years as a small-town lawyer in Alpena, Frank J. Kelley was unexpectedly appointed Michigan’s attorney general at the end of 1961. He never suspected that he would continue to serve until 1999, a national record. During that time, he worked with everyone from John and Bobby Kennedy to Bill Clinton and jump-started the careers of dozens of politicians and public figures, including U.S. Senator Carl Levin and Governors James Blanchard and Jennifer Granholm. In The People’s Lawyer: The Life and Times of Frank J. Kelley, the Nation’s Longest-Serving Attorney General, Kelley and co-author Jack Lessenberry reflect on the personal and professional journey of the so-called godfather of the Michigan Democratic Party during his incredible life and thirty-seven years in office. The People’s Lawyerchronicles Kelley’s early life as the son of second-generation Irish immigrants, whose father, Frank E. Kelley, started out as a Detroit saloon keeper and became a respected Democratic Party leader. Kelley tells of becoming the first of his family to go to college and law school, his early days as a lawyer in northern Michigan, and how he transformed the office of attorney general as an active crusader for the people. Among other accomplishments, Kelley describes establishing the first Office of Consumer Protection in the country, taking on Michigan’s public utility companies, helping to end racially restrictive real estate practices, and helping to initiate the multibillion-dollar Tobacco Master Settlement Agreement in 1998. Kelley frames his work against a backdrop of the social and political upheaval of his times, including the 1967 Detroit riots, the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, and the assassinations of John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King, Jr. All those interested in American history and legal history will enjoy this highly readable, entertaining account of Kelley’s life of public service.
