The article presents abstracts of various papers related to international law. One of the papers discussed is "Defenses to Action on Foreign Judgment." By the civil law a foreign judgment, in the absence of treaty or statutory provision, is reviewable on the merits. When approved it is declared executory and enforced directly. At common law the rule is otherwise. A foreign judgment is conclusive on the merits, because it creates an obligation which is recognized like any other foreign-acquired right. Other papers discussed are "The Effect of Changing the Use of Land Taken by Eminent Domain," "Revision of Alimony Decrees," "Actual Competition As an Essential Element in Unfair Trade Cases" and "Effect on Incomplete Release of Appointment of Debtor As Executor."
