Warranted Exclusion: A Case For A Fourth Amendment Built On The Right To Exclude, Mailyn Fidler Jan 2023

Warranted Exclusion: A Case For A Fourth Amendment Built On The Right To Exclude, Mailyn Fidler

SMU Law Review

Searches intrude; fundamentally, they infringe on a right to exclude. So that right should form the basis of Fourth Amendment protections. Current Fourth Amendment doctrine—the reasonable expectation of privacy test—struggles with conceptual clarity and predictability. The Supreme Court’s recent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade casts further doubt on the reception of other privacy-based approaches with this Court.

This Article provides a new alternative: Fourth Amendment protection should be anchored in a flexible concept derived from property law—what …

Integrated Nonmarital Property Rights, E. Gary Spitko Jan 2022

Integrated Nonmarital Property Rights, E. Gary Spitko

SMU Law Review

Nonmarital cohabitation has become a mainstream family structure in the United States. Yet despite the increasing prevalence of nonmarital cohabitants, American family property law generally fails to support nonmarital couples. This inequality under the law disproportionately disadvantages persons of color, those with relatively less education, and couples with relatively fewer economic resources. This Article considers the post-Obergefell need for law reform to better support nonmarital families, examines the principles that should ground nonmarital property rights reform, and proposes a novel approach to nonmarital property rights that integrates the law of dissolution with the law of succession, unifies the law …

Rethinking Powers Of Attorney In Real Estate Transactions, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers Jan 2018

Rethinking Powers Of Attorney In Real Estate Transactions, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers

SMU Law Review

The Uniform Power of Attorney Act, adopted in 2006, was designed to address the divergence of various states from the original uniform act and to address problems identified by attorneys practicing in the area. One such problem was the refusal of parties to accept powers of attorney—although a client might execute a durable power of attorney as part of an estate plan to avoid a guardianship, parties would refuse to deal with the agent, thus necessitating a guardianship proceeding. The Uniform Act has now been enacted in some form in more than half of the states, including Texas. The author …
