Family Time: A Selection Of Bills From The Virginia 2023 Legislative Session Relating To Family, Intimate Partner Violence, And Child Welfare, 2023 University of Richmond
Family Time: A Selection Of Bills From The Virginia 2023 Legislative Session Relating To Family, Intimate Partner Violence, And Child Welfare, Valerie L'Herrou
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
In 2023, the Commonwealth of Virginia was forced to operate without a
finalized state budget following the adjournment of the regular session of its
legislative body. The Commonwealth waited (luckily without bated breath)
for its “caboose” budget for the 2023–2024 budget cycle for nearly six
months after the General Assembly adjourned sine die, which it did on its
normal date for a “short” (odd-numbered) year on February 25, 2023.
However, most other actions taken by the Virginia General Assembly during
its 2023 session did go into effect on July 1, 2023, as usual. These include a
number of bills that …
The Success Of Establishing Legislative Commissions To Address Complex And Critical Needs: Examining The Early Recommendations And Outcomes Of The Commission On School Construction And Modernization, 2023 University of Richmond
The Success Of Establishing Legislative Commissions To Address Complex And Critical Needs: Examining The Early Recommendations And Outcomes Of The Commission On School Construction And Modernization, Matthew P. Stanley
Richmond Public Interest Law Review
The 2020 creation of the Virginia Commission on School Construction and
Modernization proved to be a pivotal moment in addressing the longstanding
issue of school construction and modernization in the state. With
$1.25 billion in new resources allocated for school divisions in 2022,
including an increased Literary Fund and a flexible formula-based grant,
legislators took decisive action to support school infrastructure. The creation
of the School Construction Fund and School Construction Assistance
Program, with ongoing funding provided through taxes on casino revenues,
marked a significant step forward in providing ongoing resources for school
projects.
Despite several successful legislative outcomes, some …

Public Law Litigation And Electoral Time, 2023 Northwestern Pritzker School of Law
Public Law Litigation And Electoral Time, Zachary D. Clopton, Katherine Shaw
Articles
Public law litigation is often politics by other means. Yet scholars and practitioners have failed to appreciate how public law litigation intersects with an important aspect of politics—electoral time. This Essay identifies three temporal dimensions of public law litigation. First, the electoral time of government litigants—measured by the fixed terms of state and federal executive officials—may affect their conduct in litigation, such as when they engage in midnight litigation in the run-up to and aftermath of their election. Second, the electoral time of state courts—measured by the fixed terms of state judges—creates openings for strategic behavior among litigants (both public …
Written Testimony Of Philip Hackney For The Hearing On Growth Of The Tax-Exempt Sector And The Impact On The American Political Landscape (U.S. House Ways & Means Subcommittee On Oversight, December 13, 2023), 2023 University of Pittsburgh School of Law
Written Testimony Of Philip Hackney For The Hearing On Growth Of The Tax-Exempt Sector And The Impact On The American Political Landscape (U.S. House Ways & Means Subcommittee On Oversight, December 13, 2023), Philip Hackney
Testimony
In written testimony before the House Ways & Means Subcommittee on Oversight on December 13, 2023, Professor Hackney emphasized three points about tax-exempt organizations and politics: (1) a diverse nonprofit sector that fosters civic participation and engagement is a gem of the United States -- we should maintain that; (2) the IRS budget for Exempt Organizations continues to NOT be sufficient to ensure the laws are equally and fairly enforced; and (3) there are simple things the IRS could do to enforce the law that it is not doing.

Restitution For Haiti, Reparations For All: Haiti’S Place In The Global Reparations Movement, Brian Concannon Jr., Kristina Fried, Alexandra V. Filippova
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
Haiti’s claim for restitution of the debt coerced by France in exchange for Haiti’s 1804 independence has unique legal advantages that can open the door to broader reparations for the descendants of all people harmed by slavery. But in order to assert the claim, Haiti first needs help reclaiming its democracy from a corrupt, repressive regime propped up by the powerful countries that prospered through slavery and overthrew the Haitian President who dared to assert his country’s legal claim. This article explores Haiti’s Independence Debt, and the fight for restitution of it, in the context of two centuries of continued …
Haiti And The Indemnity Question, 2023 Wesleyan University
Haiti And The Indemnity Question, Alex Dupuy
University of Miami Inter-American Law Review
1) Haiti did not agree to pay an indemnity to France in 1825 because it feared a war with its former colonial power. In 1814, France sent envoys to Haiti to demand that King Henry Christophe, who controlled the north of Haiti, and President Alexandre Pétion, who controlled the south and west, resubmit to French sovereignty. Christophe had that envoy arrested and jailed. Pétion, on the other hand, offered to pay an indemnity to France to compensate the former colonial property owners in return for France’s official recognition of Haiti’s independence.
2) Jean-Pierre Boyer succeeded Pétion as president of the …

Exploring Local Elected Officials' Capacity To Govern Effectively, 2023 The University of Southern Mississippi
Exploring Local Elected Officials' Capacity To Govern Effectively, Mario King
Dissertations
A successful local government exemplifies inclusivity, innovation, and deliberate decision-making, all advancing responsible management of taxpayers' resources. In this qualitative investigation, a phenomenological approach is employed to delve into the lived experiences of local elected officials. The aim of this study was to gain insights into the capacity of these local elected officials for success in governance. Subsequently, the insights from these local elected officials' experiences are harnessed to evaluate their influence and impact on municipal performance.
The management of municipal performance encompasses the provision of social services, the maintenance of fiscal operations, and adherence to statutory obligations (Avellaneda, 2008). …
An Originalist Approach To Prospective Overruling, 2023 Northwestern University
An Originalist Approach To Prospective Overruling, John O. Mcginnis, Michael Rappaport
Notre Dame Law Review
Originalism has become a dominant jurisprudential theory on the Supreme Court. But a large number of precedents are inconsistent with the Constitution’s original meaning and overturning them risks creating enormous disruption to the legal order. This article defends a prospective overruling approach that would harmonize precedent with originalism’s rise and reduce the disruption from overrulings. Under prospective overruling, the Court declares that an existing statute violates the original meaning but will continue to be enforced because declaring it unconstitutional would produce enormous costs; however, future statutes of this type will be voided as unconstitutional. Under our approach, the Court would …
Wrong Or (Fundamental) Right?: Substantive Due Process And The Right To Exclude, 2023 University of Washington School of Law
Wrong Or (Fundamental) Right?: Substantive Due Process And The Right To Exclude, Jack May
Washington Law Review
Substantive due process provides heightened protection from government interference with enumerated constitutional rights and unenumerated—but nevertheless “fundamental”—rights. To date, the United States Supreme Court has never recognized any property right as a fundamental right for substantive due process purposes. But in Yim v. City of Seattle, a case recently decided by the Ninth Circuit, landlords and tenant screening companies argued that the right to exclude from one’s property should be a fundamental right. Yim involved a challenge to Seattle’s Fair Chance Housing Ordinance, which, among other things, prohibits landlords and tenant screening companies from inquiring about or considering a …
