Caution, Cooperative Agreements, And The Actual State Of Things: A Reply To Professor Fletcher, Ezra Rosser
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This short article argues that tribal governments considering entering into cooperative agreements with federal, state, or local governments ought to maintain a healthy skepticism regarding the non-tribal governments sitting across from them at the negotiating table and the appropriateness of entering into cooperative agreements.
Rural Housing And Code Enforcement: Navigating Between Values And Housing Types, Ezra Rosser
Rural Housing And Code Enforcement: Navigating Between Values And Housing Types, Ezra Rosser
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
This paper focuses on the relationship between rural housing and building codes. The paper covers the relationship between the existing urban based literature on housing conditions and the rural housing situation as well as a theoretical exploration of different ways of understanding value in housing. Finally, two rural case studies - the Navajo Nation and a small Colorado subdivision - illustrate the challenges of rural housing code enforcement and demonstrate how officials could benefit from the model.
Is The Suite Life Truly Sweet? The Property Rights Luxury Box Owners Actually Acquire, Amanda Schlager
Is The Suite Life Truly Sweet? The Property Rights Luxury Box Owners Actually Acquire, Amanda Schlager
Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law
Part I of this Note offers a look at the rising trend of luxury boxes, with a discussion of what separates a license from a lease. Part II will look at the property rights frequently given to one who "leases" a luxury box and will analyze what interest in land he actually receives. Part III presents the implications of misnomers in luxury box leasing and presents possible repercussions for both luxury box owners and those to whom the owners would lease them. It also suggests a better method for creating and governing these arrangements. Finally, it asserts that because of …
Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes
Improving The Construction And Litigation Resolution Process: The 2005 Amendments To The Washington Condominium Act Are A Win-Win For Homeowners And Developers, Mark F. O'Donnell, David E. Chawes
Seattle University Law Review
On August 1, 2005, significant amendments to the Washington Condominium Act (WCA) became effective. These amendments were intended to substantially reduce water infiltration in multiunit residential buildings and to simplify the condominium construction dispute resolution process. The heart of the amendments is the implementation of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures, as well as fee-shiftingprovisions which require the non-prevailing party to pay the attorney fees and costs of the prevailing party. A decade of lawsuits brought under the WCA by condominium owners associations against builders and developers, and in turn by builders against subcontractors, alleging defects in the ability of the …

"We Shall Not Be Moved": Urban Communities, Eminent Domain And The Socioeconomics Of Just Compensation, James J. Kelly
"We Shall Not Be Moved": Urban Communities, Eminent Domain And The Socioeconomics Of Just Compensation, James J. Kelly
Journal Articles
If eminent domain is to serve true community development, statutory reforms must limit its propensity to abuse while still preserving its effectiveness. The first part of this article offers a normative legal theory of eminent domain as constrained by both the availability of alternative means of achieving public objectives and the inability of some condemnees to be made whole by cash compensation. The consideration of the land needs of both the condemnor and the condemnee is crucial to the respective evaluations of public use and just compensation as limitations on eminent domain. In the context of urban redevelopment, the theory …

Review Of Optional Law: The Structure Of Legal Entitlements, Omri Ben-Shahar
Review Of Optional Law: The Structure Of Legal Entitlements, Omri Ben-Shahar
Reviews
The concept of "property rights" plays a prominent role in economic theory. Economists have been studying how property rights emerged as a system of allocation, replacing regimes of open access and lack of legal order. Property rights are regularly viewed by economists as the primary policy tool to control the incentives to invest in new assets (e.g., in information) and to maintain existing assets (e.g., fisheries) when contracts are incomplete. Property rights are the endowments that individuals exchange in a market economy, the equity that investors trade in financial markets. Property rights are a basic building block in economics.
The Rose Theorem?, Michael Heller
The Rose Theorem?, Michael Heller
Faculty Scholarship
Law resists theorems. We have hypotheses, typologies, heuristics, and conundrums. But, until now, only one plausible theorem – and that we borrowed from economics. Could there be a second, the Rose Theorem?
Any theorem must generalize, be falsifiable, and have predictive power. Law's theorems, however, seem to require three additional qualities: they emerge from tales of ordinary stuff; are named for, not by, their creators; and have no single authoritative form. For example, Ronald Coase wrote of ranchers and farmers. He has always shied away from the Theorem project. When later scholars formalized his parable, they created multiple and inconsistent …
Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
Undeserving Heirs?--The Case Of The "Terminated" Parent, Richard Lewis Brown
University of Richmond Law Review
Every state has an intestate succession statute that prescribes how the property of those who die without a will should be distributed. Every state also by statute authorizes the government to intervene in the parent-child relationship in the most draconian manner possible by involuntarily terminating parental rights. This article explores how the law functions at the intersection of these two statutory schemes-the inheritance regime, as expressed through intestate succession statutes, and the child welfare regime, as expressed through termination of parental rights statutes ("TPR statutes").
Restoring Property Rights In Washington: Regulatory Takings Compensation Inspired By Oregon's Measure 37, Kelly Michelle Kelley
Restoring Property Rights In Washington: Regulatory Takings Compensation Inspired By Oregon's Measure 37, Kelly Michelle Kelley
Seattle University Law Review
Part II of this Comment provides a background of regulatory takings jurisprudence, outlining both the U.S. Supreme Court's and Washington courts' respective analyses of regulatory takings challenges under the takings clauses of both the U.S. and Washington Constitutions. Part III discusses the threshold compensation statutes that have been enacted by four states in an effort to remedy the problem of regulatory takings. Part IV examines Oregon's Measure 37 and the lawsuit that validated its constitutionality. Part V analyzes Washington's proposed property rights measure, Initiative 933, and argues that Washington needs a regulatory takings compensation statute. Finally, Part VI concludes that …
Thou Shalt Not Zone: The Overbroad Applications And Troubling Implications Of Rluipa's Land Use Provisions, Daniel P. Lennington
Thou Shalt Not Zone: The Overbroad Applications And Troubling Implications Of Rluipa's Land Use Provisions, Daniel P. Lennington
Seattle University Law Review
With five years of caselaw interpreting RLUIPA and a split among the courts regarding the breadth of the statute, now is an appropriate time to examine the statute's track record and consider its future. This Article will first examine RLUIPA's background, its text, and exactly what Congress intended when it passed the statute. Next, this Article will explain how courts have split on the application of RLUIPA's land use provisions, and in some cases, made it nearly impossible to zone churches, synagogues, mosques or any other religious land uses. Finally, this Article will propose a simple solution--an amendment to RLUIPA, …
Still Mortgaging The American Dream: Predatory Lending, Preemption, And Federally Supported Lenders, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers
Still Mortgaging The American Dream: Predatory Lending, Preemption, And Federally Supported Lenders, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
This Article discusses the continuing problem of predatory lending abuses in the subprime home mortgage lending market and federal and state attempts to address the problem. Over the protests of consumer advocates, federal agencies have recently issued regulations preempting state predatory lending statutes as applied to national banks and thrifts. In addition, Congress is considering legislation that would preempt state predatory lending laws for all lenders. The Article considers the preemption debate, particularly in the context of federally supported lenders-banks, thrifts, and the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs), Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Banks and thrifts receive support through the federal safety …

The Potential Impact Of Aboriginal Title On Aquaculture Policy, Diana Ginn
The Potential Impact Of Aboriginal Title On Aquaculture Policy, Diana Ginn
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
This chapter discusses the potential impact of aboriginal property rights on the development of aquaculture policy by considering whether such rights could provide a basis for First Nation peoples to participate in aquaculture or to manage the participation of others in this industry. The purpose of the chapter is to describe the relevant law as it now stands, to identify issues that have not yet been decided and to consider how the courts might approach such issues in the future.
A Principled Approach To Property Rights In Canadian Aquaculture, Phillip Saunders, Richard Finn
A Principled Approach To Property Rights In Canadian Aquaculture, Phillip Saunders, Richard Finn
Articles, Book Chapters, & Popular Press
The 1995 Federal Aquaculture Development Strategy summarized some of the difficulties facing aquaculture development in a federal state such as Canada, where the jurisdictional entitlements relevant to this “new” (or at least newly significant) industry are by no means clear:
Aquaculture is a formidable policy challenge. As a new industry, it straddles the line between fishing and farming, cuts across significant regional differences and is placed in a context involving the participation of municipal, provincial/territorial and federal governments.

Ownership And Possession In The Early Common Law, Joshua C. Tate
Ownership And Possession In The Early Common Law, Joshua C. Tate
Faculty Journal Articles and Book Chapters
Much has been written on the possible influence of Roman or canon law on the early English common law of property. Maitland thought that the canonist's actio spolii was the inspiration for the assize of novel disseisin. Sutherland argued that the assize borrowed from the Roman interdict unde vi. Milsom, by contrast, thinks that the early common-law writs must be understood within a feudal framework, and that the early common law took nothing from Roman law than the Latin language.
This Article offers a new perspective on ownership and possession in the early common law. It examines the theoretical development …

Competing Claims: The Struggle For Title In Nicaragua, Michael Roche
Competing Claims: The Struggle For Title In Nicaragua, Michael Roche
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
Nicaragua's Sandinista Revolution of the 1980s left the country's property scheme in a state of disarray. For eleven years, the leftist Sandinista government instituted mass land confiscations and agrarian reform that caused many individuals to lose their property and flee the country. The transition to democracy begun in 1990 has been a difficult process for the country's new presidents who have been forced to reconcile competing claims and fight corruption from within their own ranks. In this Note, the Author examines the property legacy created by the Sandinista Revolution. With another round of presidential elections scheduled for November 2006, the …
Historic Preservation In Southeast Asia: The Role Of Public-Private Partnerships, Patrick Stough
Historic Preservation In Southeast Asia: The Role Of Public-Private Partnerships, Patrick Stough
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The role of globalization in the rapid economic success of Southeast Asia is exemplified by the growing westernization of the region's cities. While globalization has its benefits, such as encouraging investment and global connectivity, it also threatens the cultural heritage of a given area by encouraging a sort of homogeneity that makes modern cities all look alike. In particular, the goal of economic development often stands at odds with the preservation of structures and properties that reflect the cultural heritage of the region. Furthermore, many of the countries of the region are under pressure to better protect property rights, another …
Social Software, Groups, And Governance, Michael J. Madison
Social Software, Groups, And Governance, Michael J. Madison
Articles
Formal groups play an important role in the law. Informal groups largely lie outside it. Should the law be more attentive to informal groups? The paper argues that this and related questions are appearing more frequently as a number of computer technologies, which I collect under the heading social software, increase the salience of groups. In turn, that salience raises important questions about both the significance and the benefits of informal groups. The paper suggests that there may be important social benefits associated with informal groups, and that the law should move towards a framework for encouraging and recognizing them. …
The Idea Of The Law Review: Scholarship, Prestige, And Open Access, Michael J. Madison
The Idea Of The Law Review: Scholarship, Prestige, And Open Access, Michael J. Madison
Articles
This Essay was written as part of a Symposium on open access publishing for legal scholarship. It makes the claim that open access publishing models will succeed, or not, to the extent that they account for the existing economy of prestige that drives law reviews and legal scholarship. What may seem like a lot of uncharitable commentary is intended instead as an expression of guarded optimism: Imaginative reuse of some existing tools of scholarly publishing (even by some marginalized members of the prestige economy - or perhaps especially by them) may facilitate the emergence of a viable open access norm.
