Everyone Benefits, Everyone Pays: Does The Fifth Amendment Mandate Compensation When Property Is Damaged During The Course Of Police Activities?, C. Wayne Owen Jr.
Everyone Benefits, Everyone Pays: Does The Fifth Amendment Mandate Compensation When Property Is Damaged During The Course Of Police Activities?, C. Wayne Owen Jr.
William & Mary Bill of Rights Journal
The Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution, along with similar provisions in state constitutions, forbids the taking of private property by the government for a public use without just compensation. Despite this protection, many courts have denied takings claims made by innocent third party landowners when police officers caused damage to their property during the course of executing their official duties. These courts held that the damage was not for a "public use" in the narrow sense, and have refused to analyze the claims under takings jurisprudence. This narrow view of "public use" ignores the fact that society as …
Real Property, T. Daniel Brannan, William J. Sheppard
Real Property, T. Daniel Brannan, William J. Sheppard
Mercer Law Review
This Article surveys case law and legislative developments in the area of real property law in Georgia during the period from June 1, 1999, to May 31, 2000. As in past surveys, the authors do not attempt to chronicle each case and statute that affects real property law. Rather, the authors selected the decisions and statutes discussed in this Article for their significance and interest to participants in the everyday practice of real estate law in this state. Several cases discussed below revisited issues from recent surveys and enlarged upon or clarified the holdings from those prior cases.

Excess Condemnation - Must The Interest Condemned In Private Property Be Proportional To The Public Use? - The Effect Of City Of Charlotte V. Cook, Kimberly A. Baxley
Excess Condemnation - Must The Interest Condemned In Private Property Be Proportional To The Public Use? - The Effect Of City Of Charlotte V. Cook, Kimberly A. Baxley
Campbell Law Review
This note will examine the North Carolina Supreme Court's decision in City of Charlotte v. Cook. Part II of the note sets out the factual background and issues raised by the Cook decision and details the reasoning of both the North Carolina Court of Appeals and the North Carolina Supreme Court in ruling on the issues. Part III analyzes the Supreme Court's holding and concludes that greater judicial scrutiny of eminent domain practices is essential to protect the private property owner from abusive takings.
Just Compensation, Incentives, And Social Meanings, Hanoch Dagan
Just Compensation, Incentives, And Social Meanings, Hanoch Dagan
Michigan Law Review
In Takings and Distributive Justice, I proposed a progressive interpretation of the Compensation Clause. In his response, published in this issue, Professor Lunney challenges the plausibility and the desirability of my interpretation and proposes an alternative. This Essay compares our approaches. It concludes that Professor Lunney's careful examination of the public choice analysis of takings does refine my theory. Contrary to Professor Lunney's claims, however, these refinements reinforce - rather than undermine - the viability of a progressive takings doctrine. Parts I and II set the stage by summarizing the principal claims made, respectively, in my original Article and in …
Takings, Efficiency, And Distributive Justice: A Response To Professor Dagan, Glynn S. Lunney Jr.
Takings, Efficiency, And Distributive Justice: A Response To Professor Dagan, Glynn S. Lunney Jr.
Michigan Law Review
In A Critical Reexamination of the Takings Jurisprudence, I addressed an efficiency problem that arises when the government attempts to change property rights in a manner that burdens a very few for the benefit of the very many. Specifically, in the absence of compensation, the collective action advantage of the few in organizing to oppose the proposed measure will often give them a decided edge against the many. As a result of that advantage, the few will too often be able to persuade the legislature not to act, even when an objective evaluation of the proposal's costs and benefits would …
The Myth Of Property Absolutism And Modern Government: The Interacation Of Police Power And Property Rights, Philip A. Talmadge
The Myth Of Property Absolutism And Modern Government: The Interacation Of Police Power And Property Rights, Philip A. Talmadge
Washington Law Review
A new movement in America espousing a novel doctrine, property-rights absolutism, has gained some popular and political appeal. But the property rights absolutists tend to ignore the societal foundations of property, and especially de-emphasize the responsibilities property owners have to the community in which they live. They fail to consider properly the significance of the police power and its vital role in the American and Washington State constitutional systems. This Article debunks the newly minted mythology of the property-rights absolutists and places the police power and property rights in their proper historical perspective.
The United Mall Of America: Free Speech, State Constitutions, And The Growing Fortress Of Private Property, Jennifer Niles Coffin
The United Mall Of America: Free Speech, State Constitutions, And The Growing Fortress Of Private Property, Jennifer Niles Coffin
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Scholars have called the shopping mall the modern replacement for the traditional town square, a claim that is supported by both public investment in infrastructure through municipal and state bond issues and by the presence of public services and events in many malls. Mall owners and tenants have exploited this quasi public character by inviting government agencies to become tenants in the malls ("City Hall at the Mall") despite claiming that malls are private property where constitutionally protected freedoms do not apply. After an initial and shortlived ruling that mall visitors do indeed have free speech rights, the Supreme Court …
Casting Light On Cultural Property, John J. Costonis
Casting Light On Cultural Property, John J. Costonis
Michigan Law Review
Theorists of private property invite comparison to theorists of light. For centuries, the latter have debated whether light is best understood as a wave or as a photon. The rivalry has been intense because each hypothesis explains some characteristics of light very well, but others very poorly. Wave theory outstrips photon theory in explaining such phenomena as light's frequencies and diffraction patterns. But photon theory, which reduces light to a succession of particles, more effectively explains such subatomic phenomena as changes in an atom's orbital shell produced by the interaction of photons and electrons. Property theorists too can be viewed …
Who "Owns" A Cultural Treasure?, Jason Y. Hall
Who "Owns" A Cultural Treasure?, Jason Y. Hall
Michigan Law Review
Because of the thoughtfulness of its arguments, the range and depth of its presentation of specific cases, and the fairness with which it reveals, thinks through, and allows some validity to opposing points of view, Playing Darts with a Rembrandt is a valuable contribution to understanding which parties have, and should have, rights in key objects that comprise our collective heritage. That I am not persuaded by some of the specific arguments in the book in no way reduces my admiration for what it accomplishes.

Naked Land Transfers And American Constitutional Development, Mark A. Graber
Naked Land Transfers And American Constitutional Development, Mark A. Graber
Vanderbilt Law Review
The constitutional prohibition on naked land transfers, laws granting to B property that belonged to A, played a far greater role in American constitutional development than is generally realized. The Marshall and Taney Courts heard numerous cases in which government officials were accused of expropriating private property, typically by legislative oversight rather than by deliberate intent. When resolving these cases, antebellum justices relied heavily on "certain great principles of justice" rather than on specific constitutional provisions. Supreme Court majorities on several occasions probably exercised the judicial power to declare federal laws unconstitutional. More frequently, Marshall and Taney Court decisions in …
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Property Law, Michael V. Hernandez
Annual Survey Of Virginia Law: Property Law, Michael V. Hernandez
University of Richmond Law Review
This article surveys judicial and legislative developments in Virginia property law since the last Survey article on this topic was published, with primary emphasis on developments from June 1, 1998 to June 1, 2000. Although there were interesting developments in several areas of property law, the most important developments arose in the Supreme Court of Virginia's decisions involving covenants, servitudes, and easements. A significant portion of this article will explain and analyze those decisions.

Limited Practice Officers And Admission To Practice Rule 12: Taking Or Not?, Robert C. Farrell
Limited Practice Officers And Admission To Practice Rule 12: Taking Or Not?, Robert C. Farrell
Seattle University Law Review
This Comment arrives at the conclusion that Admission to Practice Rule 12.1 (c)(1) does indeed give rise to an unconstitutional taking. Beginning with a definition of an escrow, Part II of this Comment provides an overview of a transaction in escrow and an analysis of the escrow holder's relationship with and duties to his client depositor. Part III discusses the statutory and regulatory constraints imposed on escrow holders under Washington's Escrow Agent Registration Act. Part IV explores the evolution of the limited practice officer in Washington and the advent of Admission to Practice Rule 12. Part V analyzes the takings …
Scope Of Due Diligence Investigation In Obtaining Title To Valuable Artwork, Marilyn E. Phelan
Scope Of Due Diligence Investigation In Obtaining Title To Valuable Artwork, Marilyn E. Phelan
Seattle University Law Review
This Article will explore the concept of "due diligence investigation" for valuable art objects and the considerations that properly frame the scope of such an examination. The Article represents that because, as between a dispossessed owner and a good faith purchaser of artworks, equities are balanced in favor of the dispossessed owner, current law has imposed a higher standard of diligence on the purchaser. Thus, the Article will underscore the need for purchasers and collectors to conduct appropriate and comprehensive investigations into title of artworks they acquire or already possess and will demonstrate that a due diligence investigation is the …
The Quest For The Best Test To Vest: Washington's Vested Rights Doctrine Beats The Rest, Gregory Overstreet, Diana M. Kirchheim
The Quest For The Best Test To Vest: Washington's Vested Rights Doctrine Beats The Rest, Gregory Overstreet, Diana M. Kirchheim
Seattle University Law Review
This Article is primarily a comprehensive, practitioner-oriented analysis of Washington's vested rights doctrine. In this Article, the authors propose that there are actually three models for vested rights in the nation, the majority and minority rules and the Washington rule. In the 1950s, Washington began following what commentators usually refer to as the minority rule, but the authors of this article assert that over the years our state's vesting doctrine has evolved into a distinct, third model. As this article will show, the Washington rule is not only distinct, it is superior.
Kass V. Kass, Blazing Legal Trails In The Field Of Human Reproductive Technology, Kelly Summers
Kass V. Kass, Blazing Legal Trails In The Field Of Human Reproductive Technology, Kelly Summers
Cleveland State Law Review
The decision in Kass illustrates a situation where well-founded common law contract principles were applied to a novel reproductive issue in order to respond to rapidly evolving technological progress. However, this legal dilemma presents a variable that warrants special attention. The parties involved in the case at hand struggled for control of a possible human life; Mrs. Kass hoped to preserve the pre-zygotes for future implantation attempts, and Mr. Kass sought to avoid the tribulations associated with compulsory parenthood. This Comment will evaluate the decisions rendered by both the Supreme Court of New York and the New York Court of …

A Child Conceived After His Father's Death: Posthumous Reproduction And Inheritance Rights - An Analysis Of Ohio Statutes, Cindy L. Steeb
A Child Conceived After His Father's Death: Posthumous Reproduction And Inheritance Rights - An Analysis Of Ohio Statutes, Cindy L. Steeb
Cleveland State Law Review
This Article will argue that the posthumous child and the rights and responsibilities relating to such a child, are directly related to the fundamental right to procreate, thus statutes must support rather than prohibit posthumous conception. It will argue that legislation must necessarily incorporate that right in determining issues and forming legislation related to the posthumous child. It will show that current legislation, both the various Uniform Codes and Ohio's Revised Code, is not sufficient to protect and provide for this new class of children. In reaching this conclusion, Part II of this Article will review the history of artificial …

The Necessary Application Of The Contract Clause To Cases Involving Restrictive Covenants And Group Famiy Day Care Homes, Heidi Marie Flinn
The Necessary Application Of The Contract Clause To Cases Involving Restrictive Covenants And Group Famiy Day Care Homes, Heidi Marie Flinn
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note argues that courts should apply the Contract Clause analysis that is set for by the Supreme Court in Energy Reserves to all home based day care cases regardless of whether it is state legislative or judicial action that prevents enforcement of a restrictive covenant. It begins by explaining the background of restrictive covenants as they apply to group homes and outlines Contract Clause analysis in relation to restrictive covenants. Additionally, this Note explores the Fair Housing Act and how it is becoming the best tool to litigate cases involving covenants and group homes for the mentally ill, but …
