An Introduction To Property Theory, Gregory Alexander, Eduardo Peñalver Mar 2012

An Introduction To Property Theory, Gregory Alexander, Eduardo Peñalver

Gregory S Alexander

This book surveys the leading modern theories of property – Lockean, libertarian, utilitarian/law-and-economics, personhood, Kantian, and human flourishing – and then applies those theories to concrete contexts in which property issues have been especially controversial. These include redistribution, the right to exclude, regulatory takings, eminent domain, and intellectual property. The book highlights the Aristotelian human flourishing theory of property, providing the most comprehensive and accessible introduction to that theory to date.

Throw The Book At Them: Testing Mortgagor Remedies In Foreclosure Proceedings After U.S. Bank V. Ibanez, Claire Ward

Claire Alexis Ward

This article takes one state, Massachusetts, as its focus for a perspective on the residential mortgage foreclosure crisis. U.S. Bank v. Ibanez, in early 2011, signaled a changing tide which began to hold banks accountable for the shoddy practices they frequently used to foreclose. However, the promise of Ibanez was unfulfilled as successor cases failed to follow through with its vision. Mortgagor actions brought in the trial courts to prevent foreclosure have been unsuccessful with the elemental actions based in consumer protection, contract, and equity. However, this article proposes new and novel solutions to force banks to be held accountable …


Reunifying Property In The Classroom: Starting With The Questions, Not The Answers, Tim Iglesias Dec 2011

Reunifying Property In The Classroom: Starting With The Questions, Not The Answers, Tim Iglesias

Tim Iglesias
