The Revised Uniform Partnership Act: The Reporters' Overview, Donald J. Weidner, John W. Larson Nov 1993

The Revised Uniform Partnership Act: The Reporters' Overview, Donald J. Weidner, John W. Larson

Scholarly Publications

This Article is a brief overview of what the Reporters believe to be the four basic contributions of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA or Act). First, RUPA changes the law of partnership breakups and gives greater stability to partnerships by abandoning the traditional rule that a partnership is dissolved every time a member leaves. Second, RUPA makes clear that partners are not fiduciaries among themselves in the same sense as disinterested trustees. Specifically, RUPA states that partners legitimately may pursue self-interest without automatically running afoul of their fiduciary duties. On the other hand, RUPA provides an irreducible core of …

Unspeakable Suspicions: Challenging The Racist Consensual Encounter, Peter Schoenburg, Risa Evans Nov 1993

Unspeakable Suspicions: Challenging The Racist Consensual Encounter, Peter Schoenburg, Risa Evans

Law Faculty Scholarship

[Excerpt] "In recent years, law enforcement officials have honed a new technique for fighting the "War on Drugs:" the suspicionless police sweep of stations and vehicles involved in interstate mass transportation. Single officers or groups of officers approach unfortunate individuals in busses, trains, stations and airline terminals. A targeted traveller is requested to show identification and tickets, explain the purpose of his or her travels, and finally, at times, to consent to a luggage search. As long as "a reasonable person would understand that he or she could refuse to cooperate," the encounter between the law-enforcement official and the traveller …

Taxing Gains At Death: A Further Comment, Charles O. Galvin Nov 1993

Taxing Gains At Death: A Further Comment, Charles O. Galvin

Vanderbilt Law Review

Professor Lawrence Zelenak's recent Article provides an excellent analysis of the relevant issues and their treatment in a tax regime in which gains and losses are recognized at gifttime and deathtime transfers.' I have argued for the same policy change, suggesting further the repeal of the wealth transfer tax system altogether and possibly the repeal of Section 1022 to require the inclusion in recipients' gross income of gifts, bequests, devises, and inheritances.' Still further, in agreement with Professor Zelenak, I would retain the present concepts of the marital deduction, unlimited charitable deduction for deathtime transfers, and some minimum exemption that …


Shift Of Fiduciary Duty Upon Corporate Insolvency: Proper Scope Of Directors' Duty To Creditors, Laura Lin Nov 1993

Shift Of Fiduciary Duty Upon Corporate Insolvency: Proper Scope Of Directors' Duty To Creditors, Laura Lin

Vanderbilt Law Review

In the wake of the debt binge of the 1980s, the number of financially distressed corporations has increased dramatically.' Because a struggling company rarely ceases operations overnight, directors still need to make investment and operational decisions concerning the best use of the company's existing assets. This need remains whether the firm will regain profitability or will be liquidated. Financial distress also intensifies conflicts of interest between shareholders and creditors. Indeed, when these constituencies are unable to recover their investments in the corporation because of insufficient assets, both shareholders and creditors have incentives to maximize their individual returns regard- less of …

Untenable, Unchristian, And Unconstitutional , Carl Tobias

Missouri Law Review

Clara J. McKenney donated her residence to the city of Petersburg, Virginia, in 1924 for use as a free library. She gave the building as a memorial to her husband, William Robertson McKenney, a well-respected lawyer who had practiced in Petersburg for many years. Clara McKenney's deed of transfer stipulated that the library was "to be maintained for both white and colored persons: all of the building ... including the first floor and all above that [was] to be for the exclusive use of white persons; and the basement of the building [was] to be kept and maintained for the …


Warrantless Misdemeanor Arrests And The Fourth Amendment, William A. Schroeder Nov 1993

Warrantless Misdemeanor Arrests And The Fourth Amendment, William A. Schroeder

Missouri Law Review

The United States Supreme Court has never decided whether any aspects of the common law ban on warrantless misdemeanor arrests are required by the Constitution.' In fact, very few courts have said anything significant about the relationship between the Fourth Amendment and the common law rule. This Article will examine the constitutional questions raised by the continuing expansion of the power to make warrantless arrests for misdemeanors.


Prior Misconduct Evidence In Missouri, Bradley D. Kuhlman Nov 1993

Prior Misconduct Evidence In Missouri, Bradley D. Kuhlman

Missouri Law Review

Although the rules and exceptions regarding the admissibility of evidence of prior misconduct during criminal trials are well established, the theories and logic underlying the black letter law have apparently eroded to mere words. State v. Sladek' and State v. Bernard were two recent opportunities for the Missouri Supreme Court to examine the law of uncharged misconduct evidence. Unfortunately, the majority opinions in these cases did not address the central problems with this area of evidence but instead, they sidestepped the issues and created a new unprincipled exception The new exception, signature modus operandi/corroboration, ignores the central reason that prior …


Americans With Disabilities Act, Its Antecedents, And Its Impact On Law Enforcement Employment, The , Martin Schiff Nov 1993

Americans With Disabilities Act, Its Antecedents, And Its Impact On Law Enforcement Employment, The , Martin Schiff

Missouri Law Review

The American With Disabilities Act (ADA),' signed into law on July 26, 1990, is the most significant legislation ever enacted to prevent discrimination against disabled Americans. The scope of the legislation is sweeping, encompassing employment (Title I), public services by state and local governments including transportation (Title II), all public accommodations (Title III), and all telecommunications (Title IV). The law, in essence, recognizes the responsibility of the federal government to see to it that disabled Americans are fully integrated into all aspects of American life rather than being deemed unfit merely because of their disability. The purpose of this Article …


Child Support Properly A Factor In Determining Best Interests Of Child In Voluntary Termination Of Parental Rights, Khristine Ann Heisinger Nov 1993

Child Support Properly A Factor In Determining Best Interests Of Child In Voluntary Termination Of Parental Rights, Khristine Ann Heisinger

Missouri Law Review

Termination of parental rights is available only by statute. Missouri provides for voluntary termination of parental rights only if the parent whose rights are to be terminated has consented in writing to the termination and if the termination will be in the best interests of the child.' All Missouri statutory provisions concerning termination of parental rights are to be "construed so as to promote the best interests and welfare of the child." The factors to be considered in determining the "best interest of the child" are enumerated in the statute, but they are quite general. This Note focuses on the …
