Corporate Consolidation Of Rental Housing & The Case For National Rent Stabilization, Brandon Weiss Jan 2023

Corporate Consolidation Of Rental Housing & The Case For National Rent Stabilization, Brandon Weiss

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Rental housing in the United States is increasingly owned by corporate landlords that operate under a different set of incentives, behind a level of anonymity previously unavailable, and pursuant to practices that often exacerbate an already precarious housing landscape for tenants. Marketsensitive and nuanced rent stabilization laws have reemerged at the state and local level as a viable policy option to help regulate escalating rents and prevent tenant displacement. These laws, when well drafted, can address outdated critiques of strict rent caps and can complement alternative approaches, like those of the politically popular Yes In My Backyard (YIMBY) movement, which …


The Obsolescence Of Blue Laws In The 21st Century, Ira P. Robbins Oct 2022

The Obsolescence Of Blue Laws In The 21st Century, Ira P. Robbins

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

Depending on where in the United States one is located on any given Sunday or Christian holiday, it is against the law to buy a beer or a car, go shopping, hunt, or even play Bingo. This prohibition is a direct result of Blue Laws, alternatively called Sunday Closing Laws or Lord’s Day Acts. Blue Laws frustrate commerce and recreational activities. While at one time they might have aligned with societal values or served a practical secular purpose, such as providing workers with a day of rest, modern society renders Blue Laws obsolete and nonsensical.

Due to rapid change in …


Contracting For Process, David Snyder Jan 2022

Contracting For Process, David Snyder

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

This article introduces the concept of contracting for process and considers when it is likely to be the best contract design. Contracting for process is in widespread use, but it often goes unnoticed. Some characteristics of contracting for process suit it particularly well to situations of uncertainty, including the radical uncertainty that results from fundamental disruptions such as COVID-19. Parties can employ this design for both contracts made or renegotiated during a crisis and for contracts made in ordinary times. The concept articulated here, however, is not confined to contexts of uncertainty or complexity; it can be used to achieve …

Resolving The Crowdfunding Conundrum: The Experience Of The United States And Spain, Rafael A. Porrata-Doria Jr.

American University Business Law Review

The phenomenon known as crowdfunding has become an attractive alternative for businesses looking for investors without having to go through more well-established routes or without necessarily having to lure and impress professional investors. However, this new form of raising capital creates a series of issues and problems unique to crowdfunding, which has led to a struggle amongst governments to effectively regulate this new entrepreneurial opportunity. The crowdfunding conundrum government regulators are facing causes them to have to reconcile two contradictory missions: facilitating the acquisition of capital by businesses and protecting investors (and the market) from fraud and manipulation.

Transactional Clinics As Change Agents In The Trump Era: Lessons From Two Contexts, Priya Baskaran, Michael Haber

Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals

The results of the 2016 presidential election and the efforts by the Trump administration to make sweeping changes to a wide range of federal policies have left communities across the country feeling overwhelmed and threatened. In its first year, the Trump administration has been working steadily to slash budgets for health care, housing, infrastructure, schools, and other public benefits that help low-income and middle-class Americans, while adopting policies and engaging in rhetoric that has made many immigrants, Muslims, people of color, and LGBTQ people feel increasingly vulnerable and marginalized.
