Dictionary of Legal Abbreviations Used in American Law Books by Doris Bieber
The proliferation of legal sources and abbreviations poses two related problems--first, the need for standardized citation forms,and second, the need for guides to commonly used abbreviations. The first problem has been difficult to solve, and universal acceptance of standard citations is unlikely to be achieved. A Uniform System of Citation, published by the Harvard Law Review Association, in collaboration with the Columbia Law Review, the University of Pennsylvania Law Review, and the Yale Law Journal, has attained wide acceptance and has become the authoritative guide for legal citations …

What Causes Fundamental Legal Ideas? Marital Property In England And France In The Thirteenth Century, Charles Donahue Jr.
What Causes Fundamental Legal Ideas? Marital Property In England And France In The Thirteenth Century, Charles Donahue Jr.
Michigan Law Review
Categorizing broadly, the marital property systems of the Western nations today are divided into two types: those in which husband and wife own all property separately except those items that they have expressly agreed to hold jointly (in a nontechnical sense) and those in which husband and wife own a substantial portion or even all of their property jointly unless they have expressly agreed to hold it separately. The system of separate property is the "common law" system, in force in most jurisdictions where the Anglo-American common law is in force. The system of joint property is the community property …

The Haitian Vacation: The Applicability Of Sham Doctrine To Year-End Divorces, Michigan Law Review
The Haitian Vacation: The Applicability Of Sham Doctrine To Year-End Divorces, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note examines the propriety of applying the sham doctrine to tax-motivated divorces. Section I outlines the evolution of the sham doctrine from its exposition in Gregory v. Helvering through its expression in two different tests for commercial transactions. Section II then studies the relationship between state divorce law and the marital status provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to demonstrate the clear congressional preference for incorporating state law by reference rather than creating an independent federal law of marriage. It also examines the history of the 1969 Tax Reform Act in a vain effort to discern a congressional desire …

Divorce Planning In Antenuptial Agreements: Toward A New Objectivity, Peter N. Swisher
Divorce Planning In Antenuptial Agreements: Toward A New Objectivity, Peter N. Swisher
Law Faculty Publications
Within the past fifty years, there have been numerous articles written about the validity and enforceability of antenuptial agreements. Such agreements are generally favored by the law when prospective spouses privately contract to vary, limit, or relinquish certain rights which they would otherwise acquire in each other's property or in each other's estate by reason of their impending marriage. Traditionally, this antenuptial agreement is typically made by older people who are about to be remarried, and who have acquired considerable property from a prior marriage that they wish to control.
However, unless the antenuptial agreement provisions fall squarely within this …
Constitutional Implications Of Parental Support Laws, Martin R. Levy, Sara W. Gross
Constitutional Implications Of Parental Support Laws, Martin R. Levy, Sara W. Gross
University of Richmond Law Review
This article addresses the constitutionality of those statutes known as "parental support laws" or "relative support statutes" in light of the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment to the United States Constitution. These statutes impose upon a person the duty to support an indigent parent or other impoverished relatives. This article focuses only on the statutory duty of children-under threat of punishment-to support indigent parents. In order to pass Constitutional muster under the requirements of the equal protection clause, there must be established at least a rational relationship between the class designated by the statute and the objective of …
Children's Rights: A Movement In Search Of Meaning, Stephen W. Bricker
Children's Rights: A Movement In Search Of Meaning, Stephen W. Bricker
University of Richmond Law Review
The children's rights movement is a unique phenomenon among the various "rights" efforts today. Nonetheless, it shares some superficial similarities with the other antildiscrimination movements. Children's rights, like those of blacks and women, concern the role of an identifiable segment of our society which has traditionally been placed at a legal and social disadvantage. The children's rights movement also espouses the reallocation of legal power as a means to correct this perceived imbalance. Further, it grew out of the same social currents, first apparent in the 1950's and 1960's, which produced the kindred civil rights efforts.
Federal Youth Corrections Act: The Continuing Charade, Wilfred J. Ritz
Federal Youth Corrections Act: The Continuing Charade, Wilfred J. Ritz
University of Richmond Law Review
No one will ever know, at least with any certainty, whether more harm than good has been done by the Federal Youth Corrections Act. The Act was enacted by Congress in 1950 upon the recommendation of a committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States. The youth offenders who have benefited under YCA are those who have committed the most serious crimes, such as murder, robbery, and rape, and those with the longest records of serious criminal conduct. Because of the YCA, some of these dangerous offenders have received less severe sentences, and some have been released on parole …

The Revision Of Virginia's Juvenile Court Law, Lelia Baum Hopper, Frank M. Slayton
University of Richmond Law Review
Since 1899, the year in which the state of Illinois established a separate statutory framework for addressing the problems of children before the courts, the juvenile justice system has been struggling to establish its identity in the jurisprudence of the United States. The juvenile court laws of this country, including those of the Commonwealth of Virginia, have historically been based on the doctrine of "parens patriae", which is formally defined as the "sovereign power of guardianship over persons under disability."' According to this doctrine, the state, through the court system, can be trusted to fulfill its obligation with respect to …

Post-Parham Remedies: The Involuntary Commitment Of Minors In Virginia After Parham V. J.R., Willis J. Spaulding
University of Richmond Law Review
This case raises the most important question of every child's constitutional right to liberty, not only the liberty that includes freedom from bodily restraint [citation omitted], but also the liberty that includes the freedom of an ordinary, every-day child in these United States of America-the freedom to live with mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters in whatever the family abode may be; the freedom to be loved and to be spanked; the freedom to go in and oat the door, to run and play, to laugh and cry, to fight and fuss, to stand up and fall down, to play childish …
