A Cost To Bear—Environmental Contamination And Eminent Domain, Evan C. Heaney
A Cost To Bear—Environmental Contamination And Eminent Domain, Evan C. Heaney
Seattle University Law Review
This Note advocates for Washington courts to adopt a system that universally allows evidence of environmental contamination on the private property taken in eminent domain proceedings. Part I of this Note discusses the history and progression of eminent domain and the broader constitutional roots of the Takings Clause. Part II explores Washington’s environmental remediation statute. Part III details the various approaches jurisdictions around the county have formulated to deal with this issue. Part IV argues Washington courts should adopt the inclusionary approach, which allows the introduction of environmental evidence in eminent domain proceedings.

Restricting Funeral Expense Deductions, William A. Drennan
Restricting Funeral Expense Deductions, William A. Drennan
Dickinson Law Review (2017-Present)
During the Middle Ages, the wealthy often requested burial in mass graves with their fellow mortals, as a sign of humility. But since the rise of the cult of the individual during the Renaissance, individual burial plots have been an expression of prestige, wealth, and social status for some. For example, Leona Helmsley, real estate baroness and “Queen of Mean,” dedicated $3 million upon her death for the care and maintenance of her 1300 square foot, $1.4 million mausoleum. Respectful disposition of the body is a hallmark of civilization and a common law requirement of estate administration, but an extravagant …

When Beneficiaries Predecease: An Empirical Analysis, Adam J. Hirsch
When Beneficiaries Predecease: An Empirical Analysis, Adam J. Hirsch
Emory Law Journal
Under current law, bequests to beneficiaries who predecease the testator “lapse” to the beneficiary of the residuary, unless they are preserved for the descendants of predeceased beneficiaries under an “antilapse” statute. The beneficiaries covered by antilapse statutes vary from state to state, but in most states today the statutes apply only to blood relatives of the testator as distant as first cousins. This Article examines the public policy of antilapse statutes, assessing them by undertaking the first-ever survey of popular preferences concerning the matter. Harvesting evidence for five types of beneficiaries, the study finds that the prevailing structure of antilapse …

Confronting The Local Land Checkerboard, Daniel B. Rosenbaum
Confronting The Local Land Checkerboard, Daniel B. Rosenbaum
University of Richmond Law Review
Fractured public land is hidden in plain sight. In communities across the country, a patchwork assortment of local governments share splintered ownership over surplus public properties, which can be found scattered in residential neighborhoods and alongside highways, in the shadows of development projects and in the scars of urban renewal. The ripple effect of this fragmentation extends across the spectrum of local governance. It creates needless costs and bureaucratic headaches at a time of acute fiscal distress for cities and counties. It contributes to an inequitable imbalance of local power between formal and informal landowners in a community. And curiously, …

Do We Own What We Post?: The Fundamental Property Right To Destroy Your Presence On The Internet, Olivia Shangrow
Seattle University Law Review
This Note will explore the well-established right to destroy your own property and how such a fundamental right can and should be applied to our online property to develop more protective data privacy legislation. Part I highlights the longstanding pillar of property law establishing a right to destroy one’s property, and how that can and should be applied to your digital identity. Part II will discuss the ambiguity of personal data ownership online and the ill effects resulting from the lack of control of our personal information on the Internet. Part III examines the current state of data privacy legislation …

The Promise And Peril Of Paternalistic Approaches To Flood Risk, Alexander B. Lemann
The Promise And Peril Of Paternalistic Approaches To Flood Risk, Alexander B. Lemann
University of Colorado Law Review
Our country's ever-growing exposure to flood risk has been the target of policy reform for decades. To many experts, it is clear that we must stop subsidizing flood-prone development and begin the process of moving people away from flood-prone areas. And yet, despite the seemingly obvious benefits of abandoning areas that will be permanently underwater in a generation, flood-prone living has been a difficult habit to kick.
Examining the problem against the background of the philosophical literature on paternalism helps show why. Paternalism- government intervention in people's choices for the good of those same people-has long been controversial. The insistence …
Waste And The Governance Of Private And Public Property, Tara K. Righetti, Joseph A. Schremmer
Waste And The Governance Of Private And Public Property, Tara K. Righetti, Joseph A. Schremmer
University of Colorado Law Review
Common law waste doctrine is often overlooked as antiquated and irrelevant. At best, waste doctrine is occasionally examined as a lens through which to evaluate evolutions in modern property theory. We argue here that waste doctrine is more than just a historical artifact. Rather, the principle embedded in waste doctrine underpins a great deal of property law generally, both common law and statutory, as well as the law governing oil and gas, water, and public trust resources. Seen for what it is, waste doctrine provides a fresh perspective on property, natural resources, and environmental law.

Integrated Nonmarital Property Rights, E. Gary Spitko
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 …

Modification Requests In Community Associations: Do We Know What’S Reasonable?, Beth M. Gazes
Modification Requests In Community Associations: Do We Know What’S Reasonable?, Beth M. Gazes
Touro Law Review
The Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) as well as the New York State Human Rights Law (“HRL”) provide, inter alia, that qualifying individuals shall be granted reasonable modifications or accommodations to afford such individuals either full enjoyment of the premises or an equal opportunity to enjoy their dwelling, respectively. Both laws likely extend to common areas of the development but arrive at this protection in different ways. Namely, through the FHA’s implementing rules (“Rules”) and with guidance from the Department of Housing and Urban Development (“HUD”), courts have easily interpreted the FHA to extend to common areas but stop short …
Recent Case Law, Disparate Impact, And Restrictive Zoning, Michael Lewyn
Recent Case Law, Disparate Impact, And Restrictive Zoning, Michael Lewyn
Touro Law Review
The Fair Housing Act (“FHA”) prohibits housing discrimination, including the refusal to sell or rent housing based on race, color, religion, sex, familial status or national origin,and any policy or conduct that “otherwise make[s] unavailable or den[ies], a dwelling [based on these impermissible factors].”In 2015, the Supreme Court interpreted the “otherwise make unavailable” language of the Act to mean that the FHA includes not only claims for intentional discrimination, but also claims for disparate impact. Under the disparate impact doctrine, a defendant may be liable for facially neutral rules or policies that disproportionately favor one racial group over another.

Theft, Extortion, And The Constitution: Land Use Practice Needs An Ethical Infusion, Michael M. Berger
Touro Law Review
There are many ways in which property owners/developers interact with regulators. To the extent that texts and articles deal with the ethical duties of the regulators, they tend to focus on things like conflicts of interest. But there is more. This article will examine numerous other ways in which regulators may run afoul of ethical practice in dealing with those whom they regulate
The Future Of Cryptocurrency And Real Estate Transactions, Rachel Silverstein
The Future Of Cryptocurrency And Real Estate Transactions, Rachel Silverstein
Touro Law Review
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are all the rage right now and are beginning to make their ways into everyday transactions— including real estate transactions. This article discusses whether using cryptocurrencies to complete real estate transactions will become the norm in the near future. Cryptocurrency laws in general are few and far between, but laws surrounding cryptocurrency and real property are even more sparse. Recent case law involving cryptocurrency is a major focus of this article, along with background knowledge about cryptocurrency and the meaning of “money” as we know it today. The article concludes with a discussion about the unlikelihood …
20 Ways To Fight Housing Discrimination, Ian Wilder
20 Ways To Fight Housing Discrimination, Ian Wilder
Touro Law Review
When looking at the continuing size of the problem of discrimination it is easy to be paralyzed into inaction by the sweeping scope of the undertaking. A good remedy is to find actions that an individual can take to move toward justice. Though Dr. King is often quoted as stating that “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice,” that bend in the arc is caused by legions of activists pulling the future toward justice. Robert Kennedy noted in his opposition to apartheid in South Africa that “a million different centers of energy and daring …
