Compensation And The Interconnectedness Of Property, Thomas W. Merrill
Compensation And The Interconnectedness Of Property, Thomas W. Merrill
Faculty Scholarship
Professor Joseph Sax's scholarship on the Takings Clause combines the craft of a first-class lawyer with the passion of a visionary. The good lawyer that he is, Sax's scholarship reflects a deep understanding of Supreme Court case law, legal history, and the practical dimensions of various kinds of land use disputes. Yet his work on takings is not animated by any desire for mere doctrinal tidiness. It is driven by a distinctive vision – one in which the earth's resources are becoming increasingly interconnected and in which there is an increasing need for the government to resolve conflicts regarding the …
Legal-Ware: Contract And Copyright In The Digital Age, Michael J. Madison
Legal-Ware: Contract And Copyright In The Digital Age, Michael J. Madison
Articles
ProCD, Inc. v. Zeidenberg, which enforced a shrinkwrap license for computer software, has encouraged the expansion of the shrinkwrap form beyond computer programs, forward, onto the Internet, and backward, toward such traditional works as books and magazines. Authors and publishers are using that case to advance norms of information use that exclude, practically and conceptually, a robust public domain and a meaningful doctrine of fair use. Contesting such efforts by focusing on the contractual nature of traditional shrinkwrap, by relying on market principles, on adhesion theory, on commercial law concepts of usage and custom, or on federal preemption doctrine, feeds …

The Law "On The State Registration Of Rights In Real Property": Encouraging Or Deterring Foreign Investment In The Russian Federation?, William R. Siegel
The Law "On The State Registration Of Rights In Real Property": Encouraging Or Deterring Foreign Investment In The Russian Federation?, William R. Siegel
Northwestern Journal of International Law & Business
The Law "On the State Registration of Rights in Real Property" of July 21, 1997 (the "Registration Law" or "the Law") constitutes a major step towards the achievement of an effective national registration system and, concomitantly, a viable real estate market for foreign investors in the Russian Federation ("RF"). Prior to this law, foreign investors could not rely upon a formal system of state registration to protect their interests in real property.To remedy this problem, the Registration Law creates a system that, at least on paper, is comparable to Western registration systems in its consistency, accessibility and certainty. However, the …
Marriage Contracts And The Family Economy, Katharine B. Silbaugh
Marriage Contracts And The Family Economy, Katharine B. Silbaugh
Faculty Scholarship
One simplified view of contract law is that the state enforces private bargains without looking into the substance of those bargains. From this contractual perspective marriage might look like a contract to exchange services and goods: love, money, the ability to have and raise children, housework, sex, emotional support, physical care in times of sickness, entertainment and so forth. But when the parties to a marriage put these terms in writing, courts only enforce the provisions governing money. This contract/family law rule of selective enforcement disproportionately benefits those who bring more money to a marriage, who are more likely to …
The Property Of Death, Tanya K. Hernandez
The Property Of Death, Tanya K. Hernandez
Faculty Scholarship
Who owns death and why do we care? The question of who owns death is implicitly deliberated each time a legal dispute ensues over who can direct the manner of a decedent's burial. There is no definitive legal rule as to who has the right to control the disposal of mortal remains because there is no agreement as to who owns a body after death or whether the cadaver is subject to traditional property rights. Although most states have probate laws and health codes which authorize a decedent (or in the alternative, a priority list of family members) to direct …
The Tax Status Of Ohio Property Used For Low-Income Housing, Christopher P. Conomy
The Tax Status Of Ohio Property Used For Low-Income Housing, Christopher P. Conomy
Cleveland State Law Review
This Note argues that the rule denying property tax exemption to low-income housing units is improper. The rule is improper in three significant regards. First, as a matter of social and public policy, the rule is misguided, because it hinders the fulfillment of an important need in Ohio and in American society at large. Second, as a purely legal matter, the original rule denying exemption for these properties resulted as a mistaken application of the existing law regarding the definition of "charitable" use. The third, and most compelling reason, is that the legal basis underlying the original rule has undergone …
Chicana/Chicano Land Tenure In The Agrarian Domain: On The Edge Of A "Naked Knife", Guadalupe T. Lunda
Chicana/Chicano Land Tenure In The Agrarian Domain: On The Edge Of A "Naked Knife", Guadalupe T. Lunda
Michigan Journal of Race and Law
Neither sovereignty nor property rights could forestall American geopolitical expansion in the first half of the nineteenth century. The conflicts that resulted from this clash of doctrine with desire are perhaps most evident in the history of the Chicanas/Chicanos of Texas, California, and the Southwest, who sought to maintain their land and property, as guaranteed by the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, in the aftermath of the U.S.- Mexico War. Integrating an exploration of case law with political and social histories of the period, the Author explores the sociolegal significance of Chicana/Chicano land dispossession; exposes the racial, economic, and political motivations …

Reforming The Law: The Payment Rule As A Paradigm , Dale A. Whitman
Reforming The Law: The Payment Rule As A Paradigm , Dale A. Whitman
Faculty Publications
The concept of negotiability of promissory notes is solidly entrenched in American commercial law. It derives from the English common law notion that a negotiable instrument is a reification of the obligation it describes; the instrument is regarded as a tangible form of the obligation. This notion has multiple ramifications, but three stand out. The first is the holder in due course doctrine which asserts that, when a negotiable instrument is transferred by the correct process (negotiation, which requires delivery of the paper) to someone with the right qualities (good faith, lack of notice, and payment of value), the maker …
Understanding Mahon In Historical Context, William Michael Treanor
Understanding Mahon In Historical Context, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Despite its enormous influence on constitutional law, Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon is just such an opinion; the primary purpose of the author’s article Jam for Justice Holmes: Reassessing the Significance of Mahon is to clarify Holmes's intent by placing the opinion in historical context and in the context of Holmes's other opinions. While other scholars have also sought to place Mahon in context, his account differs in large part because of its recognition, as part of the background of Mahon, of a separate line of cases involving businesses affected with a public interest.
The author argues that at …
Jam For Justice Holmes: Reassessing The Significance Of Mahon, William Michael Treanor
Jam For Justice Holmes: Reassessing The Significance Of Mahon, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
When courts and commentators discuss Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, they use the same word with remarkable regularity: famous. Mahon has achieved this fame in part because it was the occasion for conflict between judicial giants, and because the result seems ironic. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.--the great Lochner dissenter and a jurist generally considered a champion of judicial deference to legislatures in the sphere of economic decision-making--wrote the opinion striking down a Pennsylvania statute barring coal mining that could cause the surface to cave-in. Sharply dissenting from Holmes's opinion was his consistent ally on the Court, Justice Louis …
"Reasonable Accommodation" Under The Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, Robert L. Schonfeld
"Reasonable Accommodation" Under The Federal Fair Housing Amendments Act, Robert L. Schonfeld
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article reviews the legislative history and case law of the Fair Housing Act. It reviews the elements of a claim for reasonable accommodations for persons with disabilities under the FHA. It argues that some courts have incorrectly interpreted the statute restrictively defying the intentions of the drafters of the statute.
Protecting Property Rights With Strict Scrutiny: An Argument For The "Specifically And Uniquely Attributable" Standard , Daniel Williams Russo
Protecting Property Rights With Strict Scrutiny: An Argument For The "Specifically And Uniquely Attributable" Standard , Daniel Williams Russo
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article analyzes three levels of scrutiny states have applied to regulatory takings cases. These include 'judicial deterrence", "rational nexus", and "specifically and uniquely attributable". The author argues that the first two standards are inefficient and concludes in favor of the "specifically and uniquely attributable" standard.
The Tragedy Of The Anticommons: Property In The Transition From Marx To Markets, Michael A. Heller
The Tragedy Of The Anticommons: Property In The Transition From Marx To Markets, Michael A. Heller
Articles
Why are many storefronts in Moscow empty, while street kiosks in front are full of goods? In this Article, Professor Heller develops a theory of anticommons property to help explain the puzzle of empty storefronts and full kiosks. Anticommons property can be understood as the mirror image of commons property. By definition, in a commons, multiple owners are each endowed with the privilege to use a given resource, and no one has the right to exclude another When too many owners hold such privileges of use, the resource is prone to overuse - a tragedy of the commons. Depleted fisheries …
Property And The Right To Exclude, Thomas W. Merrill
Property And The Right To Exclude, Thomas W. Merrill
Faculty Scholarship
The Supreme Court is fond of saying that "the right to exclude others" is "one of the most essential sticks in the bundle of rights that are commonly characterized as property." I shall argue in this Essay that the right to exclude others is more than just "one of the most essential" constituents of property – it is the sine qua non. Give someone the right to exclude others from a valued resource, i.e., a resource that is scarce relative to the human demand for it, and you give them property. Deny someone the exclusion right and they do not …
Translation Without Fidelity: A Response To Richard Epstein’S Fidelity Without Translation, William Michael Treanor
Translation Without Fidelity: A Response To Richard Epstein’S Fidelity Without Translation, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
This article is a response to Fidelity Without Translation by Richard Epstein (1997).
Explaining why a body of work is influential is inevitably a complex matter, but part of the success of Professor Epstein’s writings undoubtedly stems from their grounding in the original understanding of the Constitution. He has claimed the mantle of the framers, and that claim gives his reading of the takings clause a deep resonance it would not otherwise have.
Explicitly rejecting Epstein’s reading of the clause and the history that lay behind its adoption, the author has previously advanced his own view of the original understanding …
Hands Off! Civil Court Involvement In Conflicts Over Religious Property, Kent Greenawalt
Hands Off! Civil Court Involvement In Conflicts Over Religious Property, Kent Greenawalt
Faculty Scholarship
In this Article, Professor Kent Greenawalt explores how civil courts can constitutionally resolve conflicts over religious property. Although the practical and theoretical significance of this part of First Amendment law has often been overlooked, issues concerning church property continue to raise difficulties for both the courts charged with their resolution and the church members who wish to avoid the courts' intervention entirely. This Article argues that the general approach of noninvolvement that the Supreme Court has advocated in this area is consonant with broader themes in religion clause adjudication. Within this more general approach, Professor Greenawalt considers the two alternative …
The Original Understanding Of The Takings Clause, William Michael Treanor
The Original Understanding Of The Takings Clause, William Michael Treanor
Georgetown Environmental Law & Policy Institute Papers & Reports
The champions of the property rights movement claim that they are fighting to restore the original understanding of the Takings Clause of the Fifth Amendment. They invoke James Madison and other founding fathers as support for proposed statutes that require the federal government to pay property owners when it prevents them from harming the environment or jeopardizing the survival of endangered species. Wetlands regulation, it is often said, "takes" property by diminishing its value, and the founders adopted the Takings Clause to ensure that, when government regulations diminished the value of property, the owner would receive compensation. Increasing numbers of …

Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Taxing Personhood: Estate Taxes And The Compelled Commodification Of Identity, Ray D. Madoff
Ray D. Madoff
In this Article, Professor Madoff explores the ways in which the blunt tools of the wealth tax, and in particular the estate tax, uses a one-size-fits-all system to impose a tax on all property interests owned at the time of one’s death. Professor Madoff illustrates the ways in which these blunt tools can produce problematic results by examining their application to the right of publicity, a newly recognized property interest. Professor Madoff suggests that the imposition of the estate tax can force the commodification of an individual’s identity, regardless of one’s desire to refrain from marketing their identity, and explores …
"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan
"Public Use" And The Independent Judiciary: Condemnation In An Interest-Group Perspective, Donald J. Kochan
Donald J. Kochan
This Article reexamines the doctrine of public use under the Takings Clause and its ability to impede takings for private use through an application of public choice theory. It argues that the judicial validation of interest-group capture of the condemnation power through a relaxed public use standard in Takings Clause review can be explained by interest group politics and public choice theory and by institutional tendencies inherent in the independent judiciary. Legislators can sell the eminent domain power to special interests for almost any use, promising durability in the deal given the low probability that the judiciary will invalidate it …
