A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp
A Complete Property Right Amendment, John H. Ryskamp
ExpressO
The trend of the eminent domain reform and "Kelo plus" initiatives is toward a comprehensive Constitutional property right incorporating the elements of level of review, nature of government action, and extent of compensation. This article contains a draft amendment which reflects these concerns.
The Case For Residency-Based Taxation Of Financial Transactions In Developing Countries, Yoram Keinan
The Case For Residency-Based Taxation Of Financial Transactions In Developing Countries, Yoram Keinan
ExpressO
This paper will endorse adoption of residency-based taxation for financial transactions by developing countries. The paper will focus on the following three tax aspects of cross –border financial transactions: (i) taxation of interest, dividends and capital gains earned by nonresidents; (ii) taxation of cross-border derivatives; and (iii) taxation of non-residents trading in securities in the developing country. The paper will use models contained in several countries, including the United States and Israel, to illustrate and support the proposed regime. The conclusions advanced are that to sustain economic growth, developing countries should adopt residency-based taxation for financial transactions, which would allow …
Tribal-State Gaming Compacts And Revenue Sharing Provisions: Are The States Upping The Ante? , Richard L. Skeen
Tribal-State Gaming Compacts And Revenue Sharing Provisions: Are The States Upping The Ante? , Richard L. Skeen
ExpressO
In the ten years following, the Supreme Court’s ruling in the Seminole Tribe v. Florida, Indian Gaming has grown to over a $19 billion a year industry, in 26 States, involving over 241 Approved Class III Tribal Gaming Ordinances. States have been eager to get a piece of this ever-increasing pie. Some commentators have predicted that States will be reluctant to enter into new compacts or renew existing compacts, however, other’s have indicated that States will continue to demand a percentages of Gaming revenues.
This comment addresses the central issue of whether the Tribal-State compacts entered into subsequent to the …
Harnessing The Costs Of International Tax Arbitrage, Adam H. Rosenzweig
Harnessing The Costs Of International Tax Arbitrage, Adam H. Rosenzweig
ExpressO
The issue of international tax arbitrage has proven a difficult and at times intractable one. Rather than try to minimize costs of the arbitrage or prevent “abuse” of the laws of a particular regime, the United States should also consider affirmatively bearing some of the costs of international tax arbitrage to further the policy of international vertical equity and transform the incentives that led to the current worldwide non-cooperative equilibrium, and thus the rise of international tax arbitrage, in the first place.
Harnessing the costs of international tax arbitrage transactions will not always be the appropriate response to each particular …
Five Recommendations To Law Schools Offering Legal Instruction Over The Internet, Daniel C. Powell
Five Recommendations To Law Schools Offering Legal Instruction Over The Internet, Daniel C. Powell
ExpressO
This article addresses the emerging market for legal distance education. The market is being driven by recent changes in ABA regulations, as well as specialization in the curriculum, and expanding costs of traditional education. We are seeing the emergence of legal distance education consortiums, which offer a platform for the trading or selling of courses and programs.
However, much skepticism remains about the ability of distance education technology to offer law schools and law students a sufficiently interactive pedagogy. In the words of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg legal education is a “shared enterprise, a genuine interactive endeavor” that …
Finding New Constitutional Rights Through The Supreme Court’S Evolving “Government Purpose” Test Under Minimum Scrutiny, John H. Ryskamp
Finding New Constitutional Rights Through The Supreme Court’S Evolving “Government Purpose” Test Under Minimum Scrutiny, John H. Ryskamp
ExpressO
By now we all are familiar with the litany of cases which refused to find elevated scrutiny for so-called “affirmative” or “social” rights such as education, welfare or housing: Lindsey v. Normet, San Antonio School District v. Rodriguez, Dandridge v. Williams, DeShaney v. Winnebago County. There didn’t seem to be anything in minimum scrutiny which could protect such facts as education or housing, from government action. However, unobtrusively and over the years, the Supreme Court has clarified and articulated one aspect of minimum scrutiny which holds promise for vindicating facts. You will recall that under minimum scrutiny government’s action is …
Finding The Constitutional Right To Education In San Antonio School District V. Rodriguez, John H. Ryskamp
Finding The Constitutional Right To Education In San Antonio School District V. Rodriguez, John H. Ryskamp
ExpressO
In Lawrence v. Texas, the Supreme Court abolished the scrutiny regime because it impermissibly interfered with an important fact, liberty. And yet, even in earlier cases which ostensibly upheld the scrutiny regime, it is difficult to see that the Court ever did so to the detriment of facts it considered important. In short, the Court often (always?) found itself raising the level of scrutiny for a fact in the same case it upheld the regime, leaving us to wonder if the scrutiny regime ever actually had any effect at all, or even whether the Court felt it was relevant. As …
The Transfer Pricing Problem: A Proposal For Simplification., Eduardo A. Baistrocchi
The Transfer Pricing Problem: A Proposal For Simplification., Eduardo A. Baistrocchi
ExpressO
This Article focuses on the problem of transfer pricing from an international taxation perspective. It elaborates two major points using game theory as a theoretical framework. First, it argues that both developed and developing countries are facing the same fundamental problem in the transfer pricing arena; the meaning of the arm’s length standard (ALS) is increasingly unknowable because of the absence of transfer pricing case law with public good features. Second, this Article proposes a solution to the transfer pricing problem within the ALS framework. The proposal consists of a procedural, rather than a substantive, system in which multilateral advance …

The Option Conundrum In Tax Law: After All These Years, What Exactly Is An Option?, Kevin J. Liss
The Option Conundrum In Tax Law: After All These Years, What Exactly Is An Option?, Kevin J. Liss
ExpressO
Some of the latest financial products that have become prevalent on Wall Street defy easy categorization for tax purposes. Certain products, such as economic derivatives or weather derivatives, bear the trappings of options, but lack an underlying property component. Other products, such as credit default swaps, have option-type payouts, but are cast in the form of financial swaps. Which of these products are truly options and why? When and how to tax these instruments depends on proper resolution of this fundamental classification issue. With respect to credit default swaps, arguably the single most important product innovation on Wall Street in …
