The Family Office Exclusion Under The Investment Advisers Act Of 1940, Nathan Crow, Greg S. Crespi Jan 2016

The Family Office Exclusion Under The Investment Advisers Act Of 1940, Nathan Crow, Greg S. Crespi

SMU Law Review

A family office is a private firm that manages the wealth of a high net worth family. This article explores Advisers Act Rule 202(a)(11)(G)1, the “Family Office Rule” which excludes qualifying family offices from regulation under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940.

Section II provides an overview of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, in order to put the family office exclusion in context. Section III comprehensively discusses the family office exclusion, including its origins in the Dodd-Frank Act of 2010 as well …


Reconstructing Pregnancy, Sarudzayi M. Matambanadzo Dr. Jan 2016

Reconstructing Pregnancy, Sarudzayi M. Matambanadzo Dr.

SMU Law Review

Congress passed the Pregnancy Discrimination Act in 1978 to amend Title VII’s prohibition against sex discrimination to include discrimination on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions. More than thirty-five years after the passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, courts have failed to fulfill its promise. This failure lies, in part, from a tendency to reduce pregnancy, with all of its social and cultural meaning, to its “purely” biological elements. For the purposes of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act, courts ground the legal conception of pregnancy in a form of biomedical essentialism that treats pregnancy as a universal given. …

Rethinking Deference: How The History Of Church Property Disputes Calls Into Question Long-Standing First Amendment Doctrine, Eric G. Osborne, Michael D. Bush Jan 2016

Rethinking Deference: How The History Of Church Property Disputes Calls Into Question Long-Standing First Amendment Doctrine, Eric G. Osborne, Michael D. Bush

SMU Law Review

Long-held constitutional principles state that where the factual foundation that underlies a decision is shown to have been wrong, the Supreme Court will reconsider that body of law. This article demonstrates that the foundations upon which the entire doctrine of church property law has been developed may be wrong, necessitating a reconsideration of that area of law. Watson v. Jones, 80 U.S. 679 (1871), a divisive church property dispute from Kentucky, marked the United States Supreme Court’s first entry into church property disputes. Prior to Watson, state courts had handled church property disputes according to the rules of …
