Vanderbilt Law Review
This Article argues that general prohibitions against assisted suicide violate the Establishment Clause because they support a particular and religiously based moral position. Many laws overlap with religious proscriptions, of course. The conclusion that laws against assisted suicide are unconstitutional because of their religious origin is based on the specific historical context of these laws within our existing culture.

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
This Note will proffer a critical evaluation of the Italian government's current tactics for reclaiming its patrimony and argue that MBRAs are the most desired framework for resolving repatriation disputes, as they give rise to lasting collaborative relationships between source nations and cultural institutions and strive to keep valued works in the "public trust" without diminishing traditionally insular cultural identities. Thus, successful negotiations must account for competing interests including, inter alia: (i) the emotional currency of the object as assessed from the perspective of the source nation; (ii) the institution's desire to keep disputed works within the public sphere; (iii) …
