Precious And Dear To Us Is Only This Place: The Transformative Potential Of Monumental Remnants, Zachary A. Bray
Precious And Dear To Us Is Only This Place: The Transformative Potential Of Monumental Remnants, Zachary A. Bray
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
When monuments are torn down, what remains, and what should we do with the remains? In the United States as elsewhere, recent political and social conflicts have led to the destruction or relocation of many monuments—sometimes spontaneous, sometimes carefully planned. Much attention has been focused on these processes of removal and relocation, and the laws that hinder or advance these changes. On the other hand, relatively little attention has been paid to what remains behind after monuments are removed or destroyed: the vacant spaces, empty pedestals, fragments of statues, and so forth. Sometimes these remnants are protected by laws that …
Monuments Of Folly: How Local Governments Can Challenge Confederate "Statue Statutes", Zachary A. Bray
Monuments Of Folly: How Local Governments Can Challenge Confederate "Statue Statutes", Zachary A. Bray
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Monuments to the Confederacy and former Confederate figures have been prominently displayed in parks, courthouse squares, and other public spaces of many American towns and cities for many years. Their history is inextricably linked with patterns of institutionalized racism, including but not limited to the rise of Jim Crow and resistance to the integration of public schools. In recent years, the continued display of these monuments has given rise to intense controversy and outbreaks of violence. In response, some local governments have sought to remove or modify Confederate monuments in public spaces, but in several states, local governments face statutory …
Rluipa And The Limits Of Religious Institutionalism, Zachary A. Bray
Rluipa And The Limits Of Religious Institutionalism, Zachary A. Bray
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
What special protections, if any, should religious organizations receive from local land use controls? The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act (“RLUIPA”)—a deeply flawed statute—has been a magnet for controversy since its passage in 2000. Yet until recently, RLUIPA has played little role in debates about “religious institutionalism,” a set of ideas that suggest religious institutions play a distinctive role in developing the framework for religious liberty and that they deserve comparably distinctive deference and protection. This is starting to change: RLUIPA’s magnetic affinity for controversy has begun to connect conflicts over religious land use with larger debates about …
The New Progressive Property And The Low-Income Housing Conflict, Zachary A. Bray
The New Progressive Property And The Low-Income Housing Conflict, Zachary A. Bray
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
The foundation of property law has been much debated in recent years, as several scholars have sought to provide a theoretical alternative to what they call the dominant, “law-and-economics” approach to property. In place of the law-and-economics approach, these scholars advance a new theoretical approach, which I call “the new progressive property.” At its core, this new approach favors rules thought to promote the collective well-being of the larger community while ensuring that relatively disadvantaged members of society have access to certain basic resources. This Article explores the boundaries and practical implications of the new progressive property. To do so, …

Reconciling Development And Natural Beauty: The Promise And Dilemma Of Conservation Easements, Zachary A. Bray
Reconciling Development And Natural Beauty: The Promise And Dilemma Of Conservation Easements, Zachary A. Bray
Law Faculty Scholarly Articles
Local and regional private land trusts are among the most important and most numerous conservation actors in contemporary America, and conservation easements are perhaps the key land conservation tools used by these trusts. In recent decades, privately held conservation easements and local and regional private land trusts have grown at a rapid and increasing rate, and the total acreage protected by privately held conservation easements is now larger than some states. The early growth of privately held conservation easements met widespread approval, but more recently, contemporary conservation easement practice has attracted many critics, based in part on well-publicized national scandals …
