Rupa And Former Partners: Cutting The Gordian Knot With Continuing Partnership Entities, Robert W. Hillman
Rupa And Former Partners: Cutting The Gordian Knot With Continuing Partnership Entities, Robert W. Hillman
Law and Contemporary Problems
Passage of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA) brought change in the treatment of partnerships as entities rather than aggregates of their members. The nature of the Gordian knot that binds individuals associated in partnership and the lingering ties between individuals formerly associated in partnership are examined, and the hidden costs of continuity that RUPA imposes on withdrawing partners are evaluated.

Linking Statutory Forms, Larry E. Ribstein
Linking Statutory Forms, Larry E. Ribstein
Law and Contemporary Problems
Business association statutes may be "linked" in that rules from one statute are applied to a business form created under another statute; for example, the Uniform Partnership Act, the Uniform Limited Partnership Act and the Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provide that general partnership provisions apply to limited partnerships. An evaluation of this linkage is presented.
Rupa And Fiduciary Duty: The Texture Of Relationship, Donald J. Weidner
Rupa And Fiduciary Duty: The Texture Of Relationship, Donald J. Weidner
Law and Contemporary Problems
The fiduciary duty rules in the Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1994 (RUPA) are discussed. RUPA represents a major and sufficient move toward a contractarian statement of the law.
Advancing The Search For Compromise: A Response To Professor Hynes, Allan W. Vestal
Advancing The Search For Compromise: A Response To Professor Hynes, Allan W. Vestal
Law and Contemporary Problems
The contractarian and fiduciary-based positions of the Revised Uniform Partnership Act (RUPA) and the observation that RUPA is internally contradictory and does not consistently adopt either position are discussed. Professor Hynes' discussion of the waivability of fiduciary duties under RUPA is critiqued.
Fiduciary Duties And Rupa: An Inquiry Into Freedom Of Contract, J. Dennis Hynes
Fiduciary Duties And Rupa: An Inquiry Into Freedom Of Contract, J. Dennis Hynes
Law and Contemporary Problems
The Revised Uniform Partnership Act of 1994 (RUPA) section 404 establishes a comprehensive definition of partnership fiduciary duties and includes an express recognition of the unique position of a partner. The approach taken by RUPA endorses too great an invasion of the principle of freedom of contract among partners, and a change in the language of RUPA is proposed with the goal of expanding freedom of contract without abandoning the requirement of good faith.
Love It Or Leave It: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Exclusivity Of Remedies In Partnership And Marriage, Saul Levmore
Love It Or Leave It: Property Rules, Liability Rules, And Exclusivity Of Remedies In Partnership And Marriage, Saul Levmore
Law and Contemporary Problems
A claim for "final accounting" as a partner's exclusive remedy is a traditional rule in partnership law, but this rule can be unfair and inefficient. The evolution of the rules of partnership law away from the love-it-or-leave-it, or "exclusivity," tradition is discussed, and traditional partnership law is compared to domestic relations and to corporate law.
Our Partners’ Keepers? Agency Dimensions Of Partnership Relationships, Deborah A. Demott
Our Partners’ Keepers? Agency Dimensions Of Partnership Relationships, Deborah A. Demott
Law and Contemporary Problems
Many distinctive consequences of the relationship among partners stem from applicable norms of agency law, but basic agency norms applicable to incorporated businesses are fundamentally different. Agency doctrines that are distinctive to the partnership context are examined, and their consequences and rationales are explored.

A New Approach For Gay And Lesbian Domestic Partners: Legal Acceptance Through Relational Property Theory, Hara Jacobs
A New Approach For Gay And Lesbian Domestic Partners: Legal Acceptance Through Relational Property Theory, Hara Jacobs
Duke Journal of Gender Law & Policy
In the past twenty years, the number of couples living together on a long-term basis without marrying has dramatically increased. 1 With the increase in domestic partnerships 2 has come new litigation in which one scorned domestic partner sues the other, claiming a right to property procured during the relationship. Often, one partner brought more present or future financial resources to the relationship than the other. The wealthier partner may have placed some or all of the property acquired during the relationship in her name only for a variety of seemingly innocuous reasons (e.g., business expertise, tax benefits, facilitation of …

Rolling Down The Curtain On "Roll-Ups": The Case For Federal Legislation To Protect Limited Partners, Kenneth R. Hillier
Rolling Down The Curtain On "Roll-Ups": The Case For Federal Legislation To Protect Limited Partners, Kenneth R. Hillier
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines roll-ups and the lack of alternatives available to reluctant limited partners. Part I focuses on existing judicial remedies for limited partners, such as injunctions and actions for damages, and explains why these courses of action provide inadequate protection. This Part then reviews recent attempts at statutory protection and points out the shortcomings of these remedies. Part II examines safeguards afforded analogously situated corporate shareholders and sets forth arguments why limited partners should receive similar protection. After demonstrating the need for legislation, Part III suggests a workable structure for this statutory protection. Then, the Note discusses the relative …
Not By Numbers Alone: A New Decade For Women In The Law, Margaret H. Marshall
Not By Numbers Alone: A New Decade For Women In The Law, Margaret H. Marshall
New England Journal of Public Policy
There has been a dramatic increase in both the percentage and the numbers of women who have entered the legal profession in the last fifteen years, but women have not penetrated its higher echelons — partnerships in law firms, general counsel of corporations, and chiefs of government bureaus — in the same percentage that those advances should be reflecting. While entry-level salaries may be equal for male and female attorneys, are women in the legal world discovering the same glass ceilings and barriers to entry at these top levels of economic empowerment that their corporate counterparts have experienced? The author …

The Joint Enterprise: Collaboration Between The Public And Private Sectors, Howard Anawalt, Karen Robbins
The Joint Enterprise: Collaboration Between The Public And Private Sectors, Howard Anawalt, Karen Robbins
Michigan Journal of International Law
This article first outlines the structures of the joint and tripartite enterprises. It then addresses two legal concerns facing an operational enterprise, the potential tort liability of enterprise participants and antitrust restrictions. Tort liability is a threshold concern of any joint venture or partnership, and antitrust law is a basic constraint on the operations of any business. The article proceeds to show that the problems they pose for a joint enterprise can be minimized or avoided. In the third part of the article the authors demonstrate the special utility of the joint enterprise.
