Richmond: Take My Mortgage, Please!, Emily C. Cory Dec 2013

Richmond: Take My Mortgage, Please!, Emily C. Cory

Saint Louis University Public Law Review

The burst of the housing bubble brought challenges for many homeowners, as the value of their homes spiraled downward and many were forced into foreclosure. This, in turn, has caused difficulties for cities, as the vacant and abandoned neighborhoods have become a hub for blight and transience, and the tax base has steadily declined. In an effort to combat these issues, Richmond, California’s mayor, Gayle McLaughlin, has teamed up with Mortgage Resolution Partners, LLC. The pair plans to use Richmond’s power of eminent domain to “take” underwater mortgages and then refinance them, selling the new mortgages to investors. The plan, …


Reflection, Reality, And A Real Audience: Ideas From The Clinic, Dana M. Malkus Apr 2013

Reflection, Reality, And A Real Audience: Ideas From The Clinic, Dana M. Malkus

All Faculty Scholarship

For a variety of reasons too numerous and complex to recount here, law teachers are increasingly expected to provide law students with more feedback and assessment. This is especially true for those who teach “doctrinal” courses. As a clinician, frequent feedback and assessment are common and essential parts of my teacher-student relationships. I believe the clinical model provides at least three simple—but important—lessons that can inform all law teaching.

Refocusing Recusals: How The Bias Blind Spot Affects Disqualification Disputes And Should Reshape Recusal Reform, Melinda A. Marbes

Saint Louis University Public Law Review

In recent years a number of high-profile disqualification decisions have caught the attention of the legal community and the public at large. The most notable instances have involved Justices sitting on the United States Supreme Court, including calls by members of Congress and the legal academy for Justices Kagan and Thomas to step aside in the appeal challenging the constitutionality of the Affordable Care Act. In addition, a motion to disqualify the homosexual state court judge in the dispute regarding the constitutionality of California’s Proposition 8 which bans gay marriage, and the defense motion to disqualify the judge overseeing the …


Constitutional Fracticality: Structure And Coherence In The Nation’S Supreme Law, Daniel M. Braun Jan 2013

Constitutional Fracticality: Structure And Coherence In The Nation’S Supreme Law, Daniel M. Braun

Saint Louis University Public Law Review

Yale mathematician, Benoît B. Mandelbrot, revolutionized the way in which we view and understand the natural world. Where earlier visionaries were only able to see mathematical “monsters,” Mandelbrot was able to discern nature’s geometric masterpiece. This dramatic breakthrough allowed him to identify and comprehend patterns and shapes that no one had previously understood and led him to develop the field of fractal geometry. Similar patterns, this article contends, are deeply embedded in the U.S. Constitution, and the metaphor of fractals, therefore, enables us to significantly bolster our understanding of the nation’s supreme law. This article, thus, develops the fractal theory …

For more than a century, careful readers of the Green Bag have known that “[t]here is nothing sacred in a theory of law...which has outlived its usefulness or which was radically wrong from the beginning...The question is What is the law and what is the true public policy?” Professor Orin Kerr bravely, creatively, and eloquently answered that question in his article, “A Theory of Law,” in the Autumn 2012 issue of the Green Bag. Uniquely among all theories of law that I know of, Kerr’s answer to the fundamental question of law and true public policy enables all scholars to …
