The Path Out Of Washington's Takings Quagmire: The Case For Adopting The Federal Takings Analysis, Roger D. Wynne 2011 University of Washington School of Law

The Path Out Of Washington's Takings Quagmire: The Case For Adopting The Federal Takings Analysis, Roger D. Wynne

Washington Law Review

A quagmire awaits anyone attempting to understand the analysis Washington courts employ to determine whether government action constitutes a “taking” of property for which compensation is due under the U.S. Constitution. The Washington takings analysis is complex and confounding, especially when compared to the relatively straightforward takings analysis established by the U.S. Supreme Court. This Article argues that the Washington State Supreme Court should reject the Washington takings analysis and adopt the federal analysis. Comparing the federal and Washington analyses underscores how, as a matter of form, the Washington analysis easily stymies those who must work with it. Substantively, the …

Virtual Takings: The Coming Fifth Amendment Challenge To Net Neutrality Regulation, Daniel Lyons 2011 Boston College Law School

Virtual Takings: The Coming Fifth Amendment Challenge To Net Neutrality Regulation, Daniel Lyons

Daniel Lyons

“Net neutrality” refers to the principle that broadband providers should not limit the content and applications available over the Internet. Long a rallying cry of techies and academics, it has become one of the central pillars of the Obama Administration’s telecommunications policy. The Federal Communications Commission’s efforts to regulate the “onramp to the Internet” have attracted significant attention from the telecommunications industry and the academic community, which have debated whether the proposed restrictions violate broadband providers’ First Amendment rights. But there is an additional constitutional implication of net neutrality that has not yet been sufficiently addressed in the scholarly literature: …


Solar Rights For Texas Property Owners, Sara Bronin 2011 University of Connecticut School of Law

Solar Rights For Texas Property Owners, Sara Bronin

Faculty Articles and Papers

In response to Jamie France's note, "A Proposed Solar Access Law for the State of Texas," Professor Bronin urges future commentators to focus on three additional areas of inquiry related to proposed solar rights regimes. Bronin argues that such proposals would be strengthened by discussion of potential legal challenges to the proposals, related political issues, and renewable energy microgrids.Ms. France’s proposal for the State of Texas includes the elimination of preexisting private property restrictions that negatively affect solar access. Bronin argues that this proposal would be strengthened by a discussion of potential challenges under federal and state takings clauses. Additionally, …

New Mexico’S Major Reservoirs: An Overview, Susan Kelly, Diego Urbina 2011 University of New Mexico

New Mexico’S Major Reservoirs: An Overview, Susan Kelly, Diego Urbina

Water Matters!

This paper describes the salient facts about the major water storage reservoirs in New Mexico. For each reservoir, we address the purposes of water storage allowed by law, storage capacity, the responsible operating agency, and some key operational issues. This is by necessity a vast simplification of the topic.Books, articles, research reports, operation manuals, and other materials on these topics run into the hundreds. Millions of dollars have been spent on technical studies and computer models to understand,and sometimes alter, the operations of various dams and reservoirs.


Globalizing Conservation Easements: Private Law Approaches For International Environmental Protection, Gerald Korngold 2011 New York Law School

Globalizing Conservation Easements: Private Law Approaches For International Environmental Protection, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

For the past thirty years nonprofit organizations have revolutionized open space and habitat conservation in the United States through the use of conservation easements. Pursuant to legislation, nonprofits may now acquire and hold perpetual restrictions that prevent alteration of the subject land’s natural and ecological features. These rights can be held “in gross,” with the result that the nonprofit need not own land near the restricted property and can be based in a distant location.

As a result of this success, proponents in more recent years have advocated the export of “conservation easements” from the United States to other countries. …


The Great American Housing Bubble : The Road To Collapse, Robert M. Hardaway 2011 University of Denver

The Great American Housing Bubble : The Road To Collapse, Robert M. Hardaway

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

In the aftermath of the American housing collapse in 2008, many ask why. The Great American Housing Bubble: The Road to Collapse asks a different and more fundamental question - how the bubble was created in the first place. To answer that question, it examines the causes, both political and economic, of the American housing bubble created between 1940 and 2007. Those causes encompass everything from federal income tax subsidies for housing to local exclusionary policies, banking, accounting, real estate appraisal, and credit agency rating practices and policies. The book also takes into account the impact of greed, government regulation, …

Origins Of The Social Function Of Property In Chile, M C. Mirow 2011 Florida International University College of Law

Origins Of The Social Function Of Property In Chile, M C. Mirow

Faculty Publications

In 1925, Chile was one of the first countries in Latin America to adopt a social-function limitation on property. This study traces the importance of Duguit’s work in the construction of the property provisions of the Chilean Constitution of 1925. This contribution notes the shift from the earlier expressions of property as an absolute right, as found in the Constitution of 1833, to the language of the Constitution of 1925 that submits property to “the maintenance and progress of the social order.” It tracks the debates in the drafting committees to expose the various concepts of property open to the …

The Social Function Of Property And The Human Capacity To Flourish, Colin Crawford 2011 Golden Gate University School of Law

The Social Function Of Property And The Human Capacity To Flourish, Colin Crawford

Publications

This Article offers suggestions about the appropriate definition of the five words "the social function of property"-so pregnant with meaning and promise, yet for many so ill defined. Although the Article does not address the development of the notion of the social function of property within a particular national tradition or experience, it makes reference to a wide range (with respect both to location and type of property) of examples from across Latin America and the Caribbean. In doing so, the Article seeks to do three things. First, it makes the normative case that "the social function of property" can …
