Parents Know Best: Revising Our Approach To Parental Custody Agreements, Linda Jellum Jan 2004

Parents Know Best: Revising Our Approach To Parental Custody Agreements, Linda Jellum

Articles

Historically, parents have not been able to determine custody of their children prior to marriage in the form of a prenuptial agreement. Although parents are able to enter into such agreements, courts normally have a great deal of latitude in ignoring these agreements. A majority of states merely consider the agreement as one factor in determining what is in the child's best interest, while the majority of the rest presume the agreement is in the best interest of the child unless the judge finds otherwise. Only two states defer to the parental agreement unless it would be harmful to the …

Citizenship, Standing, And Immigration Law, Adam B. Cox Jan 2004

Citizenship, Standing, And Immigration Law, Adam B. Cox

Articles

Courts and commentators typically evaluate constitutional immigration law from the perspective of aliens. But that approach pays insufficient attention to the ways immigration law affects the interests and rights of citizens. In particular, an alien-centered approach fails to consider the central role immigration law plays in national self-definition and, consequently, ignores the possibility that immigration law may injure citizens by defining the national political community in constitutionally impermissible ways. Considering federal immigration law from the perspective of citizens, this Article demonstrates that immigration policy, which contemporary constitutional doctrine largely insulates from attack, should not be immune to challenges by citizens. …

Executive Power Essentialism And Foreign Affairs, Curtis A. Bradley, Martin S. Flaherty Jan 2004

Executive Power Essentialism And Foreign Affairs, Curtis A. Bradley, Martin S. Flaherty

Articles

Conflict abroad almost always enhances executive power at home. This expectation has held true at least since the constitutions of antiquity.1 It holds no less true for modern constitutions, including the Constitution of the United States.2 Constitutional arguments for executive power likewise escalate with increased perceptions of foreign threat. It is therefore hardly surprising that broad assertions of presidential power have become commonplace after the events of September 11, 2001, and the ensuing war on international terrorism.

One perennial weapon in the executive arsenal is the so-called "Vesting Clause" of Article II of the Constitution. This clause, which …


Torsion-Free Weakly Transitive Abelian Groups, Brendan Goldsmith, Lutz Strungmann Jan 2004

Torsion-Free Weakly Transitive Abelian Groups, Brendan Goldsmith, Lutz Strungmann

Articles

We introduce the notion of weak transitivity for torsion-free abelian groups. A torsion-free abelian group G is called weakly transitive if for any pair of elements x, y ∈ G and endomorphisms ϕ, ψ ∈ End(G) such that xϕ = y, yψ = x, there exists an automorphism of G mapping x onto y. It is shown that every suitable ring can be realized as the endomorphism ring of a weakly transitive torsion-free abelian group, and we characterize up to a number-theoretical property the separable weakly transitive torsion-free abelian groups.

A Positive Right To Protection For Children, Tamar Ezer Jan 2004

A Positive Right To Protection For Children, Tamar Ezer

Articles

Concepts that are useful in other areas of human rights break down in the context of children. Because children are dependent on adults for their development, they are an anomaly in the liberal legal order, which views negative rights as implying fully rational, autonomous individuals that can exercise free choice. This Article argues for a positive right to protection for children, rooted in dignity, by probing the problematic nature of the positive/negative rights duality and exploring alternate legal approaches to protecting children 's rights in both international and comparative law. The adoption of positive rights for children would help assure …

Contracting Communities, Lee Anne Fennell Jan 2004

Contracting Communities, Lee Anne Fennell

Articles

Private residential developments governed by homeowners associations have rapidly proliferated in recent decades. The servitudes that form the backbone of these private developments are usually viewed as autonomy- and value-enhancing private contractual arrangements that are presumptively valid. Unfortunately, the appealing contractual justification for private land use regimes seems to have shut down many of the usual paths of inquiry into the ability of the resulting arrangements to deliver on consumer preferences. In this article, Professor Fennell seeks to bring the theory surrounding these developments up to speed by focusing on factors that can drive a wedge between homeowner preferences and …

Contracts Without Consent: Exploring A New Basis For Contractual Liability, Omri Ben-Shahar Jan 2004

Contracts Without Consent: Exploring A New Basis For Contractual Liability, Omri Ben-Shahar

Articles

This Essay explores an alternative to one of the pillars of contract law, that obligations arise only when there is "mutual assent "--when the parties reach consensus over the terms of the transaction. It explores a principle of "no-retraction," under which each party is obligated to terms it manifested and can retract only with some liability. In contrast to the all-or-nothing nature of the mutual assent regime, where preliminary forms of consent are either full-blown contracts or create no obligation, under the no-retraction regime, obligations emerge gradually, as the positions of the negotiating parties draw closer. Further, the no-retraction liability …
