Death In The Shadows, Lucille Jewel, Mary Campbell
Death In The Shadows, Lucille Jewel, Mary Campbell
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
This paper is about the law and visual culture. Its centerpiece is Parson Weems’ Fable (1939), a painting by the American artist Grant Wood (1891-1942) that depicts the apocryphal story of George Washington and the cherry tree. At first glance, Wood’s image appears to celebrate an enduring myth of American virtue, namely Washington’s precocious inability to tell a lie. Studying the picture more closely, however, one finds a pair of black figures, presumably two of the Washingtons’ slaves. Stationed beneath dark storm clouds and harvesting cherries from a second tree, these slaves invoke yet another national myth, that of the …

A growing body of research studies shows that implicit biases based on race and other minority status play a role in student perceptions, behaviors, and teacher evaluation outcomes. Across the country, persons of color are enduring unique legal challenges, including racial profiling, police brutality, racial gerrymandering, and the threat of deportation. In this context, the continued use in legal research instruction of race-neutral "Jack and Jill" client names and traditional, noncontroversial hypotheticals misses an important opportunity to address these topics.Considering the obligations and responsibilities of legal research instructors to develop culturally competent lawyers, the first portion of the program will …
Comments On Regulations Enabling Elections For Certain Transactions Under Section 336(E), Don Leatherman
Comments On Regulations Enabling Elections For Certain Transactions Under Section 336(E), Don Leatherman
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
These Comments, submitted on behalf of the American Bar Association Section of Taxation, discuss regulations that implement an election under section 336(e) to treat a target as if it sold its assets in a taxable sale when the target stock is sold or distributed. The regulations represent a significant step in the evolution of the corporate income tax law, allowing some transactions to be structured more simply and without unwarranted tax. The simplification arises because, unlike for a section 338 election, the target stock does not have to be acquired in large part by a corporate purchaser.If a section 336(e) …

How To Stop Worrying And Learn To Love The Second Amendment: A Reply To Professor Magarian, Glenn Reynolds, Brannon Denning
How To Stop Worrying And Learn To Love The Second Amendment: A Reply To Professor Magarian, Glenn Reynolds, Brannon Denning
College of Law Faculty Scholarship
In response to Gregory Magarian's Speaking Truth to Firepower: How the First Amendment Destabilizes the Second, 91 Texas Law Review 49, 53-72 (2012), we argue first that the strict dichotomy he posits between an individual right to keep and bear arms aimed at deterring (and furnishing the means for ultimately opposing) governmental tyranny and a right securing the means for private self-defense is a false one. Further, we argue that, to the extent there is any tension between the First and Second Amendments, Heller and McDonald eased that tension by locating individual self-defense at the core of the right. Such …
