Charitable Gifts Made By S Corporations: Opportunities And Challenges, Christopher R. Hoyt Dec 2010

Charitable Gifts Made By S Corporations: Opportunities And Challenges, Christopher R. Hoyt

ACTEC Law Journal

This article examines the tax opportunities and tax hazards when a subchapter S corporation makes a charitable gift. The article demonstrates that usually the shareholders of an S corporation and the charity are both better off when an S corporation makes a charitable gift compared to having a shareholder make a charitable gift of S corporation stock. Either way, the income tax benefit will be on the S corporation shareholder's personal income tax return. By having the S corporation make the gift, the parties avoid the "three bad things" that happen when a shareholder donates S corporation stock. The problems …

I Dig It, But Congress Shouldn't Let Me: Closing The Idgt Loophole, Daniel L. Ricks Dec 2010

I Dig It, But Congress Shouldn't Let Me: Closing The Idgt Loophole, Daniel L. Ricks

ACTEC Law Journal

By combining three tools that independently are beneficial to taxpayers, clever estate planners have devised a transaction - the installment sale of discounted assets to an intentionally defective grantor trust - that saves their ultra-wealthy clients millions of dollars in estate and gift taxes. This transaction, which is a foundational part of many estate plans, takes advantage of rules that Congress never intended to be used in this way. Becasue the Internal Revenue Service has conceded its inability to challenge the transaction based on current law, any solution lies with Congress. This Article proposes an amendment to § 2036 that …

The Civil Government Litigator: A View From The Jury Box, Bruce A. Green, Karen Bergreen Jan 2010

The Civil Government Litigator: A View From The Jury Box, Bruce A. Green, Karen Bergreen

Hofstra Law Review

This article examines the role and responsibilities of the government’s civil trial lawyers from the perspective of two jurors, one a law professor and the other a novelist and self-described recovering lawyer. It begins by telling the story of a trial in which the authors served as jurors: a personal-injury case brought against New York City by a tenant who claimed to have been injured when the ceiling of her city-owned apartment fell on her head. The article then explores the role of the city’s lawyer, whose performance failed to live up to the jury’s expectations. The article suggests that …

An Act For All Contexts: Incorporating The Pregnancy Discrimination Act Into Title Ix To Help Pregnant Students Gain And Retain Access To Education, Kendra Fershee Jan 2010

An Act For All Contexts: Incorporating The Pregnancy Discrimination Act Into Title Ix To Help Pregnant Students Gain And Retain Access To Education, Kendra Fershee

Hofstra Law Review

Few would agree that pregnancy discrimination is a tolerable by-product of a modern society. Yet there is at least one segment of society where pregnancy discrimination can thrive - federally funded schools. Even though Title IX was passed in 1972 to bar discrimination in school based on sex, it is quite possible for schools to discriminate based on pregnancy with little impunity. Worse, those who suffer the discrimination cannot sue for the harms they suffered in federal court, nor can they seek monetary redress, even if they were financially harmed by the discrimination.

The status of Supreme Court precedent, coupled …

The National Labor Relations Act At 75: In Need Of A Heart Transplant, Charles B. Craver Jan 2010

The National Labor Relations Act At 75: In Need Of A Heart Transplant, Charles B. Craver

Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal

When the NLRA was enacted in 1935, 13.2% of workers were union members. Industrial unions used the power provided in the NLRA to organize manufacturing workers and achieve a union membership of 35% by the mid-1950s. Although the NLRA was significantly amended in 1947 and 1959, it has not been meaningfully changed since then. As a result, a statute designed for mass production industries is no longer relevant to the service and white-collar positions occupied by most individuals today. The NLRA must be modified to include independent contractors who work like regular employees and perma-temps hired from employment agencies on …
