Property's Constitution, James Y. Stern

Faculty Publications

Long-standing disagreements over the definition of property as a matter of legal theory present a special problem in constitutional law. The Due Process and Takings Clauses establish individual rights that can be asserted only if “property” is at stake. Yet the leading cases interpreting constitutional property doctrines have never managed to articulate a coherent general view of property, and in some instances have reached opposite conclusions about its meaning. Most notably, government benefits provided in the form of individual legal entitlements are considered “property” for purposes of due process but not takings doctrines, a conflict the cases acknowledge but do ...

The Puzzling Persistence Of Horizontal Privity, Michael Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

A discussion of the horizontal privity doctrine. Under this doctrine, restrictive covenants are binding upon future grantees only if the original parties to the covenant share some property interest outside the covenant- for example, if they are grantor and grantee of the same land, or if they are landlord and tenant. Although the doctrine has been often criticized by scholars, no recent court has rejected the privity requirement.


A Process Account Of The Endowment Effect: Voluntary Debiasing Through Agents And Markets, Jennifer Arlen, Stephan Tontrup NELLCO

A Process Account Of The Endowment Effect: Voluntary Debiasing Through Agents And Markets, Jennifer Arlen, Stephan Tontrup

New York University Public Law and Legal Theory Working Papers

We contest the loss aversion theory of the endowment effect, in which the effect depends on the status of endowment alone. Instead, we propose that the nature of the trading process determines whether people resist or accept an exchange by affecting the responsibility people feel for their choice. The more they feel responsible for the decision, the more they expect experiencing regret over a negative outcome. Aversion to regret causes people to resist a rational trade and exhibit the endowment effect. In a series of experiments, we analyze two institutions that alter the trading process and reduce perceived responsibility --agency ...

Now Ucc Me, Now You Don't: The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court Ignores The Ucc In Requiring Unity Of Note And Mortgage For Foreclosure In Eaton V. Fannie Mae, Christopher Cifrino

Boston College Law Review

On June 22, 2012, in Eaton v. Federal National Mortgage Association, the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts upheld a trial court ruling and held that an entity must hold both note and mortgage in order to foreclose properly. Because this represented a significant shift in Massachusetts foreclosure law, the court applied its ruling only prospectively. To support its holding, the court relied on common law and statutory justifications. In so doing, the court did not address pertinent sections of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) that could have led to the same outcome. This Comment argues that examining the UCC in ...
