What Feminists Have To Lose In Same-Sex Marriage Litigation, Mary Anne Case Jan 2010

What Feminists Have To Lose In Same-Sex Marriage Litigation, Mary Anne Case

Articles

This Article highlights both the rewards in accepting and the risks in rejecting a claim of sex discrimination as one constitutional basis for invalidating restrictions on marriage for same-sex couples. It argues that recognition of same-sex marriage and elimination of enforced sex roles are as inextricably intertwined as the duck is with the rabbit in the famous optical illusion. As the Article demonstrates, this has long been clear to opponents, from the pope to David Blankenhorn, but needs to become as clear to proponents and to judges deciding same-sex marriage cases if we are to preserve and extend the liberty …


The Rights Of Migrants: An Optimal Contract Framework, Adam B. Cox, Eric A. Posner Jan 2010

The Rights Of Migrants: An Optimal Contract Framework, Adam B. Cox, Eric A. Posner

Articles

Why do migrants enjoy some of the rights associated with citizenship? Existing accounts typically answer this question in terms of obligation-of a duty on the part of states to confer citizenship. Moreover, scholars tend to lump together the rights conventionally associated with citizenship when they answer this question. In contrast, this Article disaggregates the rights associated with citizenship, asks what both states and migrants want, and inquires into how the suite of rights associated with citizenship might advance those interests. States want to encourage migrants to enter their territory and to make country-specific investments, but states also have an interest …

How To Undermine Tax Increment Financing: The Lessons Of City Of Chicago V. Prologis, Richard A. Epstein Jan 2010

How To Undermine Tax Increment Financing: The Lessons Of City Of Chicago V. Prologis, Richard A. Epstein

Articles

This Article examines the appropriate level of constitutional protection against outside governments that condemn property located within a given local municipality that uses tax increment financing (TIF) to fund local improvements The standard TIF arrangement does not provide the TIF lenders with liens against any particular asset, because to do so would be to abandon the tax-exempt status of the municipal bonds that are issued. Yet these agreements guarantee that the local government that issued the bonds will take no steps to compromise their repayment from (incremental) tax dollars. These protections allow TIF bonds to trade in ordinary financial markets. …

Antibankruptcy, Douglas G. Baird, Robert K. Rasmussen Jan 2010

Antibankruptcy, Douglas G. Baird, Robert K. Rasmussen

Articles

In large Chapter 11 cases, the prototypical creditor is no longer a small player holding a claim much like everyone else's, but rather a distressed debt professional advancing her own agenda. Secured creditors are more pervasive and enjoy much more control than they had even a decade ago. Moreover, financial innovation has dramatically increased the complexity of each investor's position. As a result of these and other changes, the legal system now faces a challenge that is much like assembling a city block that has been broken up into many parcels. There exists an anticommons problem, a world in which …

Reunifying Privacy Law, Lior Strahilevitz Jan 2010

Reunifying Privacy Law, Lior Strahilevitz

Articles

In the years since Samuel Warren and Louis Brandeis proposed a unified theory of invasion of privacy tort liability, American information privacy law became increasingly fragmented and decreasingly coherent. William Prosser's 1960 article, Privacy, which heavily influenced the Restatement of Torts, endorsed and hastened this trend toward fragmentation, which spread from tort law to the various statutory branches of information privacy law. This Article argues for the reunification of information privacy law in two connected ways. First, Prosser's fragmented privacy tort should be replaced with a unitary tort for invasion of privacy that looks to the private or public nature …

What Judges Think Of The Quality Of Legal Representation, Richard A. Posner, Albert H. Yoon Jan 2010

What Judges Think Of The Quality Of Legal Representation, Richard A. Posner, Albert H. Yoon

Articles

Studying the legal profession poses several challenges. The evolution of law has moved lawyers away from a generalist practice towards increased specialization. This makes it difficult to compare lawyers across different practice areas meaningfully and to provide a comprehensive assessment of the legal profession. Judges are well situated to provide such an evaluation, given their experience and scope of cases. This Article reports the responses of federal and state judges to a survey we conducted in 2008. The questions relate to their perceptions of the quality of legal representation, generally and in criminal and civil cases; how the quality of …
