Community Water Systems, Joanne Hilton, Susan Kelly, Sarah Armstrong

Water Matters!

The water allocation issues are hotly contested in south-central New Mexico and the surrounding area. Today, the river and those who depend on it face more administrative challenges in the face of shrinking water supplies and increased population. These challenges have given rise to two ongoing lawsuits: the Lower Rio Grande Adjudication,New Mexico v. EBID, et al., 96-CV-888 (1996) (N.M. v. EBID) in the New Mexico Third Judicial District Court (adjudication court) and the New Mexico v. United States,et al., D.N.M. 11-CV-691 (2011) (N.M. v.U.S.) in United States District Court of New Mexico (U.S. District Court).

Las Voces De America: Reflecting On Mari Matsuda's Voice, Stories, And Analysis, Margaret E. Montoya Jan 2013

Las Voces De America: Reflecting On Mari Matsuda's Voice, Stories, And Analysis, Margaret E. Montoya

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Matsuda's exhortation to listen to people of color was certainly heard and seized by people of color. It spoke to me personally and inspired me as I was writing my first article, Mascaras, Trenzas y Grerias. Once the multiracial group of scholars that took the name "LatCrit" organized ourselves, we deliberately and intentionally centered our annual conferences around listening to the voices at the bottom, including the local activists in the cities in which we met. We listened to such voices as both method and substance.

A New Approach To State Corporate Taxation, Swaroop Chary Feb 2012

A New Approach To State Corporate Taxation, Swaroop Chary

Economics ETDs

State Corporate Income Taxes (CIT) generally conform to the basic design and provisions of the federal tax, which results in corporate income being taxed twice, once at the corporate level as it is earned, and again at the individual shareholder level. Most state corporate income taxes also incorporate at least some of the federal provisions that narrow the corporate income tax base, such as bonus depreciation and the domestic production activities deduction. State corporate income taxes also have very high compliance costs relative to revenue, and are a highly volatile source of state revenue. In addition, state corporate income taxes …

Picuris Pueblo Tribal Court Handbook (2012), Tribal Law Journal Staff

Without the necessary information to learn new rules and protocols many attorneys are understandably reluctant to practice in a new jurisdiction. As a result, tribal courts are underused or misused. This handbook is intended to help attorneys and advocates become more aware of the various individual tribal court systems and to learn their rules and protocol.

Lawyering Beyond Without Leaving Individual Clients Behind, April Land Oct 2011

Lawyering Beyond Without Leaving Individual Clients Behind, April Land

Faculty Scholarship

As clinical teachers answer the exciting call to move beyond the traditional model of individual client representation, we should not leave behind the vital lessons that law students learn from individual clients. Individual representation is ideal for teaching law students lawyering skills and values in a human context. Representing individual clients gives students the opportunity to experience full ownership over representation, to experience the role of the attorney, and to feel the profound weight of professional responsibility. Representationof individual clients also grounds the social justice objectives that clinical programs seek to achieve. As clinical programs and other areas of law …

Correcting Myopia In Domestic Violence Advocacy: Moving Forward In Lawyering And Law School Clinics, Camille Carey Jan 2011

Correcting Myopia In Domestic Violence Advocacy: Moving Forward In Lawyering And Law School Clinics, Camille Carey

Faculty Scholarship

Lawyers and law school clinics have become myopic in their approach to civil domestic violence lawyering. This article argues that domestic violence lawyering should expand beyond its current focus on family law to move domestic violence law and practice forward. Drawing on theoretical frameworks from criminal law and feminist legal theory, this article proposes a lawyering model that expands individual representation across a wide spectrum of case types while also challenging systems that enable battering or do not support victims in their efforts to secure safety. Holistic representation in family law, public benefits, immigration, housing, mortgage foreclosure, tort, and financial …

It Taxes A Village: The Problem With Routinely Taxing Barter Transactions, Sergio Pareja Jan 2010

It Taxes A Village: The Problem With Routinely Taxing Barter Transactions, Sergio Pareja

Faculty Scholarship

Under current law, all true barter transactions, such as babysitting cooperatives, create taxable income. Although the IRS often fails to catch unreported transactions, lawyers and accountants have an ethical duty to advise clients to report these taxable transactions on their income tax returns. This article proposes that Congress change the law to generally exclude barter transactions from income when they do not rise to the level of being a trade or business of the taxpayer. This simple change to the law will allow communities to work together without worrying about tax disincentives for doing so.
