In 2012, Virginia Governor Robert F. McDonnell announced "The Governor's K-12 Education Reform Summit: Investing in Students Today, Creating the Workforce of Tomorrow.

The Grapes Of Wrath: Encouraging Fruitful Collaborations Between Local Governments And Farm Wineries In The Commonwealth, Andrew E. Tarne Jan 2013

The Grapes Of Wrath: Encouraging Fruitful Collaborations Between Local Governments And Farm Wineries In The Commonwealth, Andrew E. Tarne

Law Student Publications

While there is fairly substantial federal regulation in the field of wine law, this essay's scope will be limited to the interplay of Virginia's state and local laws that affect wineries close to home. Within that scope, this essay's purpose is threefold. First, it will highlight the key legislation and ordinances that affect farm wineries. Second, it will discuss the interplay between state and local level regulations, concluding that the General Assembly has intended to retain near exclusive regulatory powers over farm wineries. Third, it will briefly analyze the impact of the wine industry on three Virginia counties, concluding that …

Federalism As A Preventive Measure: Avoiding State Enforcement Of Federal Anti-Gun Legislation In 2013, Brielle Hunt

Law Student Publications

The comment will proceed as follows. Part II will address the constitutionality of House Bill 2340, compared against other kinds of legislation and in light of case law. It will be argued that the Federal Government …
