Transactional Clinics As Change Agents In The Trump Era: Lessons From Two Contexts, Priya Baskaran, Michael Haber
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
The results of the 2016 presidential election and the efforts by the Trump administration to make sweeping changes to a wide range of federal policies have left communities across the country feeling overwhelmed and threatened.

The authors of this commentary run law clinics that provide pro …

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Two weeks into his presidency, George W. Bush issued an executive order establishing the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI) to encourage religious groups to provide federally funded social services. In particular, the OFBCI and its corresponding centers in various executive agencies sought to help religious organizations obtain federal grant monies by providing technical assistance to help them navigate the often byzantine bureaucracy surrounding federal grant-making. The OFBCI achieved its goal of increasing federal grants to religious organizations, in part by funding workshops and conferences designed to aid religious groups pursuing federal financing. Concerned that the Bush …

Sacred Visions Of Law, Robert Tsai
Sacred Visions Of Law, Robert Tsai
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
Around the time of the Bicentennial Celebration of the U.S. Constitution's framing, Professor Sanford Levinson called upon Americans to renew our constitutional faith. This article answers the call by examining how two legal symbols - Marbury v. Madison and Brown v. Board of Education - have been used by jurists over the years to tend the American community of faith. Blending constitutional theory and the study of religious form, the article argues that the decisions have become increasingly linked in the legal imagination even as they have come to signify very different sacred visions of law. One might think that …

Christians V. Crystal Evangelical Free Church: Interpreting Rfra In The Battle Among God, The Government, And The Bankruptcy Code, Susan Franck
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
In keeping with their religious traditions as devout Protestants, Bruce and Nancy Young regularly gave to their church in New Hope, Minnesota. From February 1991 to February 1992, the Youngs tithed $13,450 to their church.' Unfortunately-due to financial difficulties--the Youngs filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in February 1992. Because the Youngs tithed the $13,450 while insolvent, the bankruptcy trustee for their estate initiated a proceeding to void the transfers and return the contributions to the estate.
