LEGITIMATION AND ADOPTION IN THE CONFLICT OF LAWS

Authors

Herbert F. Goodrich, University of Michigan Law School

Abstract

Legitimation is defined in Bouvier's Law Dictionary as the act of giving the character of legitimate children to those who were not so born. To make the description complete, it should be added that the natural relation of parent and child must exist between the parties (if strangers in blood the case becomes one of adoption) and that the act or acts of legitimation must be provided for by law.
