Virginia Law Affecting Churches - Restated, J. Rodney Johnson
Virginia Law Affecting Churches - Restated, J. Rodney Johnson
Law Faculty Publications
Twenty-five years ago, the late William T. Muse, then Dean of the University of Richmond School of Law, observed that although there was considerable law in Virginia relating to churches this law was widely scattered throughout the statutes and the cases. To remedy this state of affairs, Dean Muse wrote a concise but complete summary of these laws. In the quarter-century that has elapsed since Dean Muse's article was published, Virginia has adopted a new constitution, many church-related statutes have been enacted and a number of church-related cases have been decided, some of which have refined established principles and others …

Teaching The Theories Of Evolution And Scientific Creationism In The Public Schools: The First Amendment Religion Clauses And Permissible Relief, J. Greg Whitehair
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note explores the propriety of teaching the theory of evolution and the scientific creation model in public elementary and secondary schools. Part I discusses the powers of the state and its political subdivisions to set public school policy and curriculum content and the extent to which those powers are circumscribed by the religion clauses of the first amendment. Part I concludes that the religion clauses permit the teaching of evolutionary theory in public schools. Part II examines the variety of judicial and legislative relief potentially available to creationists where the teaching of evolution theory interferes with their religious beliefs …

Bequests For Masses: Doctrine, History And Legal Status, Nicolas P. Cafardi
Bequests For Masses: Doctrine, History And Legal Status, Nicolas P. Cafardi
Duquesne Law Review
A bequest for Masses is a testamentary gift to a Roman Catholic religious agency, coupled with a request that Masses be celebrated on the decedent's behalf. English courts during the Reformation voided bequests for Masses as illegal and superstitious. Modern courts generally hold them valid as charitable trusts, although poorly drafted bequests can run afoul of state Mortmain, lapse and charitable trust statutes. The author examines the checkered legal history of bequests for Masses and concludes that problems often arise because courts may not understand that a bequest for Masses is not payment for religious services to benefit one person.

Exiting From The Soviet Union: Emigrés Or Refugees?, Zvi Gitelman
Exiting From The Soviet Union: Emigrés Or Refugees?, Zvi Gitelman
Michigan Journal of International Law
One of the most dramatic developments in the Soviet Union during the past decade has been the mass emigration of citizens, mostly of Jewish, German, and Armenian nationality. Emigration from the USSR had not been permitted, except for a tiny handful, since the early 1920s, although in the aftermath of World War II several hundred thousand Soviet citizens managed to remain in the West. These were either prisoners of war, slave laborers, Nazi collaborators, or simply people who took advantage of wartime chaos to flee the Soviet Union. But between 1971 and the end of 1980, over 300,000 Soviet citizens …
