Killers Shouldn't Inherit From Their Victims . . . Or Should They?, Carla Spivack

Carla Spivack

The article offers a profound reassessment of so-called “Slayer Rules,” laws that, in all states, bar killers from inheriting from their victims. For the first time in the literature, this piece questions the underlying rationale for these rules by examining the context of family violence and mental illness in which these killing occur, and argues that, given that context, these rules are often neither legally nor morally justified. My argument is as follows: at first glance, the idea behind Slayer Rules seems reasonable, indeed, morally obvious: a killer should not be able to profit from his or her crime. This …

Opening Doors: Preventing Youth Homelessness Through Housing And Education Collaboration, Courtney L. Anderson

Courtney L Anderson

This article will contribute to the general literature on homelessness by recommending that permanent supportive housing units for homeless children, youth and families provide education services in order to prevent and end homelessness among families, youth and children. I will explain how the legal framework for such housing requires a broad interpretation of the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and assert that federal programs provide a foundation for the creation of such housing. Identifying and educating homeless youth is particularly challenging as the majority of homeless youth live on the streets or in the homes of others, suffer from serious mental …

Entrusting The Commons: Agricultural Land Conservation And Shared Heritage Protection, Angela Labrador

Angela M Labrador

The start of the twenty-first century is marked by new levels of globaliza- tion, environmental degradation, and social conflict that are endangering the cultural landscapes and agrarian heritage of rural areas. In the wake of these threats, heritage profes- sionals are imagining new, holistic models for shared cultural and natural heritage protec- tion that support active community engagement around issues of cultural identity, material and ecological sustainability, and shared ethical values. Agricultural land conservation is fertile terrain in which to theorize how heritage protection can contribute to the mobiliza- tion of social cohesion to restore a balanced human ecology. Agrarian …

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 …
