Precipice Regulations And Perverse Incentives: Comparing Historic Preservation Designation And Endangered Species Listing, J. Peter Byrne Jan 2015

Precipice Regulations And Perverse Incentives: Comparing Historic Preservation Designation And Endangered Species Listing, J. Peter Byrne

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

The insight upon which this article is built is that the common structures of these two legal regimes create incentives toward destroying the resources they seek to protect. The shift from legal freedom to exploit resources to strict limitation on property modification and the lengthy and public process to designate or list specific resources for protection provide the motive and the opportunity to legally frustrate the application of the statutes. This article seeks to understand how these perverse incentives are created and how they can be lessened. The procedural and substantive provisions of both legal regimes have evolved to reduce …

Producing Better Mileage: Advancing The Design And Usefulness Of Hybrid Vehicles For Social Business Ventures, John E. Tyler, Evan Absher, Kathleen Garman, Anthony J. Luppino

Faculty Works

Since 2008 approximately half of the states in the U.S. have enacted statutes permitting “hybrid” business forms that blend aspects of traditional for-profit ventures with characteristics normally associated with traditional non-profit entities. This article analyzes theoretical, academic, practical, legal, and regulatory questions regarding the extent to which the existing hybrids are suited to achieving social purposes objectives, including in comparison to modified traditional forms of business organization. Finding the current fleet of hybrids an innovative, useful start, but with need to evolve, this article proposes statutory language (set forth in a detailed appendix, and summarized in the article text), and …

Branding Identity, Kate Elengold Dec 2014

Branding Identity, Kate Elengold

Kate Elengold

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects against discrimination on the
basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin—the so-called “protected
classes.” To make out a successful civil rights claim under the
current legal structure, a plaintiff must first identify the protected class
under which her claim arises (i.e., race or religion). She must then
identify a subclass of that protected class (i.e., African American race or
Christian religion) and assert that, due to her membership in or relationship
to that subclass, she was treated differently in violation of the law.
This Article explores the disconnect between self-identity and …

Banks, Break-Ins, And Bad Actors In Mortgage Foreclosure, Christopher K. Odinet Dec 2014

Banks, Break-Ins, And Bad Actors In Mortgage Foreclosure, Christopher K. Odinet

Christopher K. Odinet

During the housing crisis banks were confronted with a previously unknown number mortgage foreclosures, and even as the height of the crisis has passed lenders are still dealing with a tremendous backlog. Overtime lenders have increasingly engaged third party contractors to assist them in managing these assets. These property management companies — with supposed expertise in the management and preservation of real estate — have taken charge of a large swathe of distressed properties in order to ensure that, during the post-default and pre-foreclosure phases, the property is being adequately preserved and maintained. But in mid-2013 a flurry of articles …
