Christians V. Crystal Evangelical Free Church: Interpreting Rfra In The Battle Among God, The Government, And The Bankruptcy Code, Susan Franck

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

In keeping with their religious traditions as devout Protestants, Bruce and Nancy Young regularly gave to their church in New Hope, Minnesota. From February 1991 to February 1992, the Youngs tithed $13,450 to their church.' Unfortunately-due to financial difficulties--the Youngs filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 1992. Because the Youngs tithed the $13,450 while insolvent, the bankruptcy trustee for their estate initiated a proceeding to void the transfers and return the contributions to the estate.

Three Roles For The Private Equity Market In Foreign Investments: Comment On Mailander's "Seraching For Liquidity", Kenneth Anderson Jan 1997

Three Roles For The Private Equity Market In Foreign Investments: Comment On Mailander's "Seraching For Liquidity", Kenneth Anderson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Christopher J. Mailander's discussion of the private equity market identifies what is, by most measures, the central concern of equity investors in foreign enterprises-how to get out of a foreign investment after getting in it.' His strategy for resolving this problem is to make available the liquidity necessary for an investor to exit a foreign investment by tapping the United States capital markets. This can be accomplished, according to Mailander, through the use of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) on the private equity markets and through the private equity markets themselves. It seems evident that the capital markets have adopted this …

Using Citizen Suits To Protect Biodiversity, William Snape Jan 1997

Using Citizen Suits To Protect Biodiversity, William Snape

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

INTRODUCTION: Over the past several decades, environmental advocates have expended enormous effort attempting to pass laws that protect air, water, land and species.' But even the best written laws will not be effective unless they are implemented. At the federal level, most modern environmental statutes include enforcement mechanisms that allow for the active involvement of the public. The most common of these are provisions authorizing citizen suits and public comments on proposed agency actions. The rationale for this public involvement is simply that federal agencies sometimes do not enforce or obey the laws they are charged to uphold. For instance, …

Towards A Federal Counselor-Battered Woman Privilege, Fernando Laguarda Jan 1997

Towards A Federal Counselor-Battered Woman Privilege, Fernando Laguarda

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

INTRODUCTION: In theory if not in fact, the purpose of a trial in the American legal tradition is to discern the truth related to a particular dispute. Although scholars have debated how well the adversary system actually promotes fair and accurate outcomes, this truth-seeking paradigm remains generally well-accepted. To ascertain the truth, information must be presented to the triers of fact for their consideration. The law of evidence thus provides the rules for introducing and considering such information in the adversary system.

United States. V. Virginia New Gender Equal Protection Analysis With Ramifications For Pregnancy, Parenting And Title Vii, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer Jan 1997

United States. V. Virginia New Gender Equal Protection Analysis With Ramifications For Pregnancy, Parenting And Title Vii, Candace Kovacic-Fleischer

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

ABSTRACT: In this Article, Professor Kovacic-Fleischer argues that the Supreme Court's recent decision in United States v. Virginia raises gender equal protection analysis to the level of strict scrutiny. Professor Kovacic-Fleischer asserts that the Court's refusal to accept as immutable VMI's single-sex institutional design, and the Court's requirement that VMT make adjustments and alterations that will enable qualified women to undertake VM's curriculum evidences this shift in gender equal protection analysis. Professor Kovacic-Fleischer then turns to the significance of the Court's citation to California Federal Savings & Loan Association v. Guerra. She asserts that this citation indicates that the Court …

Protecting Folklore Of Indigenous Peoples: Is Intellectual Property The Answer?, Christine Farley

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

What can the Navajos do to prevent non-Navajos from using Navajo rug patterns to produce rugs overseas using cheap material and labor, thereby undercutting the Navajos themselves in a market for their famous rugs? What can the Australian Aboriginal peoples do when their sacred and secret imagery is reporduced on carpets they did not make, and sold to non-Aboriginals, who will inevitably walk on them? Do these communities have any legal rights to these pieces of their culture? Does the law provide any means for them to take back their culture or to prevent further poaching?https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=923410

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Business firms, including miners and mining companies, seek to preventloss in various ways. When their assets are real property, a mortgage mayprovide collateral or other security for their activities. As security for a debt, a mortgage is only an effective remedy when it enables the creditor, such as a bank or other lender, to declare a default, seize the title in a foreclosure action, and then use the property to satisfy the mortgagedebt. The Latin word for security was securitas, translated as sponsor. The ideaof a mortgage lien or a security is that the property itself "sponsors" therepayment of the …


Using International Human Rights Law And Machinery In Defending Borderless Crime Cases, Richard J. Wilson Jan 1997

Using International Human Rights Law And Machinery In Defending Borderless Crime Cases, Richard J. Wilson

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This Essay focuses on four areas of international human rights law. The first area, the protection of attorneys’ fees from forfeiture, is an issue of great concern in the United States, given the state of the law there. The next area, the application of the death penalty in international law, will also include arguments about the “death row phenomenon.” The third area addressed is the use of international human rights law to overcome the rule of non-inquiry in extradition matters, a rule by which the judicial authority reviewing the propriety of extradition is barred from inquiry into the fairness of …

Race, Cops, And Traffic Stops, Angela J. Davis

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article discusses the Supreme Court's failure to provide a clear and effective remedy for discriminatory pretextual traffic stops. The first part explores the discretionary nature of pretextual stops and their discriminatory effect on African-Americans and Latinos. Then, the article examines Whren v. United States, a Supreme Court case in which the petitioners claimed that these “pretextual stops” violate the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution and are racially discriminatory. The Supreme Court rejected the claim, upholding the constitutionality of pretextual stops based on probable cause and noting that claims of racial discrimination must be challenged under the Equal Protection Clause. …
