Comment, The Augustan Constitution And Our Natural Rights Tradition: Is There A Conflict?, Thomas B. Mcaffee
Comment, The Augustan Constitution And Our Natural Rights Tradition: Is There A Conflict?, Thomas B. Mcaffee
Scholarly Works
Professor Hoffheimer has provided us with a striking picture of two important strands of our constitutional heritage. The first, which he labels “Augustan constitutionalism,” descended from classical political thought and the English constitution. Its focus is on the governmental powers that it legitimates, and its themes relate to the forms of government; in the American context, this means that its focus is on separation of powers, checks and balances, and (in general) the problem of organizing and dividing government authority. The second, which he calls the “natural rights tradition,” roots government's legitimacy--and indeed its origin and purpose--in the protection of …
Critical Race Theory And Proposition 187: The Racial Politics Of Immigration Law, Ruben J. Garcia
Critical Race Theory And Proposition 187: The Racial Politics Of Immigration Law, Ruben J. Garcia
Scholarly Works
Immigration law and politics have been historically intertwined with racial prejudice. Many of those who have called for immigration restrictions have also sought an end to the racial and cultural diversity brought by immigrants. With the end of legally sanctioned race discrimination in the 1960s, immigration rhetoric has lost some of its overt racist overtones. However, in the 1990s, many politicians and lawmakers have emphasized the difference between “legal” and “illegal” immigration. This change begs a central question: Have the racist motivations of past immigration law and policy been completely displaced by a concern for law and order? This Comment …

Foreword: A New Journal Of Color In A "Colorblind" World, Frank Rudy Cooper, Jerome Mccristal Culp Jr, Lovita Tandy
Scholarly Works
In this foreword for the inaugural issue of the African-American Law & Policy Report (ALPR), Professor Frank Rudy Cooper and his colleagues present articles, which contribute to the debate that this premier issue presents: an important discussion about race that majoritarian concerns impede. The majoritarian story basically states that race is not important or race can only be examined in a "colorblind" way or that race can only be considered if we do not upset the existing power arrangements that keep African Americans and other racial groups in their place. This journal is important to ventilate those concerns because the …
Two Cheers For Specialization, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Two Cheers For Specialization, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Professor Dreyfuss adopts what might be termed the more conservative and deferential view of the efficacy of Delaware corporate law in her paper and her presentation. This approach generally views the market as making a statement with which one should not lightly quarrel. Because Delaware continues to attract incorporations, this view posits that the state's attraction is the superiority of its corporate law compared to other states, which lack a semi-specialized Chancery Court. Consequently, in a race to the top of corporate standards, legal rules and adjudications, Delaware's success in the market suggests that Delaware's legal product is good.

Democratic Responses To International Terrorism, Christopher L. Blakesley
Democratic Responses To International Terrorism, Christopher L. Blakesley
Scholarly Works
This volume provides a multidisciplinary study of terrorism. The editor notes at the outset the difficulty of definition: "Terrorism is not a one-dimensional problem; it transcends many frontiers: political, jurisdictional, institutional, disciplinary and methodological. So approaching the problem from only one perspective may lead to only partial understanding and an incomplete strategy for developing constructive responses” (p. 3). Note the tendency of even this careful statement to assume that terrorism is always committed by others, Also, although legal definition and consideration may be implied by the terms polical, jurisdictional, institutional and disciplinary, which are indicated as various dimensions of …
Desperately Seeking Science, Francis J. Mootz Iii
Desperately Seeking Science, Francis J. Mootz Iii
Scholarly Works
In this commentary I offer a lawyer’s view of what law and linguistics interdisciplinary studies might mean for legal practice, as well as a legal theorist’s view of what importance they may hold for jurisprudence. I do not pretend to have more than cursory knowledge about linguistics, and so my remarks about what linguistics scholars might gain from an interdisciplinary exchange necessarily will be brief general.
The Separate Tax Status Of Loan-Out Corporations, Mary Lafrance
The Separate Tax Status Of Loan-Out Corporations, Mary Lafrance
Scholarly Works
When professionals and other persons who offer their goods and/or services to the public conduct their businesses through corporations, the Treasury has acknowledged that for federal income tax purposes it must treat those corporations as separate and distinct from their controlling shareholder-employees, even where there is only a single shareholder-employee, provided that the corporation has a business purpose and the taxpayer consistently respects the corporate form. However, the Treasury has refused to accord equal dignity to incorporated workers who offer their services not to the public at large but to a single recipient or a small number of recipients. The …
Days Of Our Lives: The Impact Of Section 197 On The Depreciation Of Copyrights, Patents And Related Property, Mary Lafrance
Days Of Our Lives: The Impact Of Section 197 On The Depreciation Of Copyrights, Patents And Related Property, Mary Lafrance
Scholarly Works
For federal income tax purposes, owners of intangible property generally must capitalize the costs of creating or acquiring that property. In the past, the tax rules for recovering these capitalized costs through depreciation deductions varied greatly according to the nature of the intangible. Certain types of acquired intangibles--notably, goodwill and going concern value--were nondepreciable. In contrast, taxpayers purchasing interests in copyrights or patents could depreciate those assets under the straight-line method or, in most cases, could opt for more rapid cost recovery under the income forecast method.
In the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993, Congress greatly enlarged the class …

Interpreting Insurance Policies, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Interpreting Insurance Policies, Jeffrey W. Stempel
Scholarly Works
Like any other contract, an insurance policy may become the subject of a legal dispute. When disputes arise over insurance coverage, lawyers must combine their skill in contract interpretation with their knowledge of insurance law, bringing both to bear on the special problems related to this type of contract. Each dispute has unique traits, but a few basic ground rules of contract law and insurance law can help you interpret insurance policies and resolve disputes over insurance coverage.
