Disfavored Constitution, Passive Virtues? Linking State Constitutional Fiscal Limitations And Permissive Taxpayer Standing Doctrines, Joshua G. Urquhart
Disfavored Constitution, Passive Virtues? Linking State Constitutional Fiscal Limitations And Permissive Taxpayer Standing Doctrines, Joshua G. Urquhart
Fordham Law Review
This Article contrasts the permissive state taxpayer standing doctrines in place in most states with the restrictive federal and state taxpayer standing rules applied in federal court. It proposes a new theory to explain this disparity, arguing that ubiquitous state constitutional fiscal restrictions, which specifically limit a state government’s ability to tax, spend, and borrow, are a primary impetus in the creation and development of liberal state taxpayer standing doctrines. The Article evaluates this novel hypothesis through an empirical-historical survey of the early state taxpayer standing decisions in every permissive jurisdiction and finds that these provisions are indeed involved in …

Petitioning For Grandparent Visitation, State By State, Julie A. Braun
Marquette Elder's Advisor
This article discusses varying legislation enacted by all fifty states that allow grandparents to petition for visitation with their grandchildren. While some states allow a grandparent to petition for visitation at any time, the majority of states require a disruption of an intact nuclear family before a grandparent may petition for visitation. The article identifies practice tips and discusses conditions or restrictions a court may impose on the visitation.
Court Reform And Breathing Space Under The Establishment Clause, Mark C. Rahdert
Court Reform And Breathing Space Under The Establishment Clause, Mark C. Rahdert
Chicago-Kent Law Review
Flast v. Cohen held that federal taxpayers have standing to challenge government spending for religion. While Frothingham v. Mellon generally prohibits taxpayer standing in federal courts, the Court reasoned that the Establishment Clause specifically prohibits taxation in any amount to fund unconstitutional religious spending. For several decades Flast has been settled law that supplied jurisdiction in many leading establishment cases. But Hein v. Freedom from Religion Foundation, Inc. and Arizona Christian School Tuition Organization v. Winn signal that Flast may soon be overruled. This jurisdictional ferment raises two questions: Why this sudden shift? And what does it signify for the …
The Constitutional Politics Of The Establishment Clause, Richard Albert
The Constitutional Politics Of The Establishment Clause, Richard Albert
Chicago-Kent Law Review
In these reflections presented at a Symposium hosted by Duquesne University School of Law on "The Future of the Establishment Clause in Context: Neutrality, Religion, or Avoidance?" I examine the constitutional politics driving the interpretation of the Establishment Clause. I suggest that the Supreme Court's recent case law on taxpayer standing may signal a return to the founding design of the Establishment Clause. At the founding, the Establishment Clause constrained the actions of only the national government, disabled only Congress from establishing a religion, and vigorously protected the sovereignty of states. Each of these three signposts—national interdiction, congressional disability, and …

Congress Giveth, And The Courts Taketh Away: Is Restitutionary Recoupment Of Federal Funds A Proper Remedy When Taxpayers Allege That An Expired Statute Violated The Establishment Clause?, Kendra Williams
Pepperdine Law Review
The Seventh Circuit recently held in Laskowski v. Spellings that grantees of government funding can be forced by taxpayers to give grant money back to the federal government when the grant has allegedly violated the Establishment Clause - even when the grant statute expired years ago, the funds have long since been spent, and the government does not want the money back. Laskowski's new remedy has the potential for widely impacting Establishment Clause jurisprudence, especially in the areas of government funding for sectarian schools and other religiously-affiliated groups. The ready availability of a recoupment remedy could also have far-reaching and …

With The Illinois Brick Wall Down, What's Left?: Determining Antitrust Standing Under State Law, Kellen S. Dwyer
With The Illinois Brick Wall Down, What's Left?: Determining Antitrust Standing Under State Law, Kellen S. Dwyer
The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law
This Article deals with a problem which has repeatedly arisen in state and federal courts, resulting in a number of splintered opinions. In 1977, the Supreme Court ruled that only direct purchasers of a price-fixed product may sue under the Sherman Act. Thus, under the "Illinois Brick rule," consumers who buy a price-fixed product from a middle-man may not sue. Many states responded by passing "Illinois Brick repealers" which aimed to allow such suits. This Article addresses two questions which have divided the state and federal courts: Did the Illinois Brick repealers grant automatic standing to any indirect purchaser of …
Reading The Standing Tea Leaves In American Electric Power Co. V. Connecticut, Bradford C. Mank
Reading The Standing Tea Leaves In American Electric Power Co. V. Connecticut, Bradford C. Mank
University of Richmond Law Review
The U.S. Supreme Court by an equally divided vote offour to four affirmed the Second Circuit's decision finding standing and jurisdiction in the case in American Electric Power Co. v. Connecticut. While not binding as precedent beyond the Second Circuit,the case offers clues to how the Court is likely to rule in future standing cases. This article discusses the likely identities of the four Justices on each side of the standing issue in the case, as well as how Justice Sotomayor might have voted if she had not recused herself. Furthermore, the article examines how the decision expand- ed on …
