Recent Development: In Re Victoria C.: Children Are Third Parties For Purposes Of Child Visitation; Siblings Must Make A Prima Facie Case Of Parental Unfitness Or Exceptional Circumstances Before Applying The Best Interest Of Child Standard, Allyson Bloom
University of Baltimore Law Forum
The Court of Appeals of Maryland held that a child is considered a third party for purposes of sibling visitation rights. In re Victoria C., 437 Md. 567, 591, 88 A.3d 749, 764(2014). The court further held that the sibling seeking visitation with a minor sibling must first make a prima facie case showing parental unfitness or exceptional circumstances before the court can apply the best interest of the child standard.
Emerging Issues: Overthrowing The Government: What Boko Haram Means For Women, Kimberly R. Frazier
Emerging Issues: Overthrowing The Government: What Boko Haram Means For Women, Kimberly R. Frazier
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
Boko Haram has been active since 2002, however, most of the world became familiar with the Islamic terrorist group in April of 2014 after they kidnapped approximately 276 girls from a boarding school in northeastern Nigeria.1 The group’s leader, Abubakar Shekau, announced in a video that the kidnapping was an act of retaliation after Nigerian security forces kidnapped the wives and children of Boko Haram leaders.2 He also stated that the girls would be forced to convert to Islam and sold into the slave market to begin their new lives as “servants.”3 The kidnapping was not the first act of …
Interim Measures In Inter-State Proceedings Before The European Court Of Human Rights: Ukraine V. Russia, Stefan Kirchner
Interim Measures In Inter-State Proceedings Before The European Court Of Human Rights: Ukraine V. Russia, Stefan Kirchner
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
Over the course of the year 2014, the situation in Ukraine has turned from a domestic political issue involving protests, killings, and the ouster of the former president, into a military confrontation with Russia. At the time of writing (August 2014), Russia has annexed Crimea and is supporting separatists, who are in a state of civil war against the Ukrainian state, in Eastern parts of the country. This conflict is ongoing and an unknown number of civilians have been killed, notably the passengers of the Malaysia Airlines flight MH17, which is thought to have been shot down over the conflict …
After Partition: The Perils Of South Sudan, Mario Silva
After Partition: The Perils Of South Sudan, Mario Silva
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
The partition of South Sudan from the largest country on the African continent – Sudan, took place on July 9, 2011.1 The northern portion retained the name Sudan while the newly formed southern state would be known as South Sudan. South Sudan became the newest member of the United Nations (UN) with comparatively little infrastructure and limited arrangements for shared sovereignty by the international community. The partition process was undertaken with oversight from the United Nations and the African Union. It was rather idealistically considered a prelude to an enduring peace within this traditionally troubled African region. The former unitary …

Emerging Issues: The Underlying Economics Of The South China Sea Conflict, Christopher Stock
Emerging Issues: The Underlying Economics Of The South China Sea Conflict, Christopher Stock
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
The countries of southeastern Asia and China are currently in a territorial dispute over the Spratly and Paracel island chains in the South China Sea. The South China Sea encompasses roughly 1.4 million square miles of the Pacific Ocean, spanning throughout most of southeastern Asia. A majority of the islands located within the sea are uninhabited and have never had an indigenous population, which makes it nearly impossible to track the lineage to determine sovereignty over the islands. Because there has never been an indigenous population on a majority of the islands, there are now competing claims for many of …
Game Of Bombs: President Barack Obama’S Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime, Jeffrey F. Addicott
Game Of Bombs: President Barack Obama’S Nuclear Nonproliferation Regime, Jeffrey F. Addicott
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
One of President Barack Obama’s favorite solutions to reducing or halting armed conflict in the world centers around his often-stated desire to rid the world of nuclear weapons. While this simplistic formula for a more peaceful world has certainly been voiced by other occupants of the oval office, the world is, and always has been, an extremely dangerous place, and the machinations of competing spheres of power in a “Game of Thrones” will always exist in human history. Coupled with an aggressive Russia and China, the dangers associated with the new era of radical Islamic extremism rubricate the need to …
Student Comment: “Love Is Patient, Love Is Kind”: A Comparative Study Helping The United States Reach Marriage Equality, Nicole Rush
University of Baltimore Journal of International Law
This paper evaluates same-sex marriage policies in three industrialized countries: the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Canada. In assessing the legislative and judicial history of same-sex marriage policies in each country, as well as other influential factors leading to these policies, this research helps to create a roadmap to reach a nationwide policy for the United States. By comparing the current history of the United States’ same-sex marriage policies to that of the aforementioned countries, it is possible to develop a plan to achieve marriage equality in the U.S.

Maryland Personal Jurisdiction Law In The Cyberspace Content, Saad Gul
Maryland Personal Jurisdiction Law In The Cyberspace Content, Saad Gul
University of Baltimore Law Forum
A century ago, personal jurisdiction largely hinged on a simple litmus test: the defendant’s presence in the forum state. The issue of personal jurisdiction gained prevalence as the nation evolved from its earlier days of detached, semi-sovereign entities, whose citizens rarely interacted, to a nation where interstate commerce had increased, with interstate litigation growing correspondingly. In Pennoyer v. Neff, the Supreme Court of the United States effectively limited a state’s jurisdiction to persons physically present within its territorial borders. However, in today’s increasingly interconnected world, physical presence appears to represent an anachronism set in the post-Civil War, horse-and-buggy America of …

Keeping A Foot In Each Camp: Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances As Both A Concurrency Tool And Means Of Generating Revenue, Andrew Balashov
Keeping A Foot In Each Camp: Adequate Public Facilities Ordinances As Both A Concurrency Tool And Means Of Generating Revenue, Andrew Balashov
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
In late 2012 a bitter war was waged in a small Maryland town. Newspapers portrayed it as a David and Goliath type story; rural residents fighting big business developers to keep them from destroying their small town's charm and character. Yet underlying the conflict were commonplace issues of land use and planning, governed by a little known, yet surprisingly ubiquitous law, known as an Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance. To set the scene Frederick County, Maryland is like many other counties across the United States that are coping with the effects of growth and demographic change. In decades past its residents …

America is at a pivotal moment in maintaining and modernizing its public infrastructure. Our nation's roads, bridges, water systems and energy networks have long been in poor repair. Much of the country's public infrastructure was put into place over fifty years ago, and many of these systems are simply overwhelmed or worn out. Infrastructure that is in poor condition or disrepair is mostly a hidden problem until it inconveniently stops working or worse, when ghastly consequences ensue from catastrophic failures.
Cashing In On Green: Casino Development And Sustainability, Emily Mikles
Cashing In On Green: Casino Development And Sustainability, Emily Mikles
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
The development of the Horseshoe Casino in Baltimore, MD has created its fair share of contention and controversy for local residents. The typical residential concerns surrounding casino development- disparate impacts on surrounding businesses, employment concerns, and economic impact-are not raising eyebrows in the Baltimore area; rather, residents are concerned about the environmental impacts of the casino construction and development project. Several lawsuits have been filed attempting to halt casino construction due to the chemical contaminants that are seeping into the soil and into the bay through storm drains. These suits raise an interesting issue that some state legislatures and casino …

Comments: An Unnecessary "Solution": High-Performance Market-Rate Rental Housing, David Hornstein
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
On April 11, 2013, new rules and regulations regarding Baltimore City's property tax credits became effective. Similar to the payments in lieu of taxes program (PILOT), Baltimore City has enacted rules and regulations that afford property owners a major tax credit for developing and, or converting current buildings into high-performance market-rate rental housing. Baltimore City Mayor, Stephanie Rawlings- Blake, is optimistic about the tax credit, believing the credit will spur development within Baltimore City. The city believes that development projects will attract new residents to Baltimore City, as well as deter current residents from leaving the city for areas that …
Settlement Equals Another Missed Opportunity For The Supreme Court To Define Disparate Impact Claims Under The Fair Housing Act, Erika Flaschner
Settlement Equals Another Missed Opportunity For The Supreme Court To Define Disparate Impact Claims Under The Fair Housing Act, Erika Flaschner
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
In 2003, the New Jersey Township of Mount Holly designated a neighborhood known as the Gardens as a blighted, high crime area, and called for its redevelopment. The Township adopted a plan to demolish the Gardens and replace it with new residential units, of which only a fraction were designated for affordable housing. However, the predominately minority population of the Gardens filed suit to overturn the blight designation and stop the redevelopment plan on the grounds that the plan violated the Fair Housing Act (FHA) on a disparate impact theory.

Comments: Baltimore City's Green Building Standards, Building Towards An Uncertain Future, Gregory Franklin
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
In August 2007 the Baltimore City Council passed Council Bill 07-0602 mandating that newly built and "extensively modified" buildings over 10,000 square feet comply with "Green Building Standards." This law is considered among the first and most extensive green building codes to be passed so far in the United States. This law has not surprisingly sparked praise and criticism. While the law has been praised for its potential environmental benefits, it has also been criticized on the grounds that it is stricter than the laws of surrounding jurisdictions and has made building in Baltimore excessively expensive. Moreover, the law has …
Promise Vs. Performance: Why Public Subsidies Of Private Development Are Not Likely To Produce Fair Returns To The Taxpaying Public, Marc Knapp
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
On September 10, 2013, the Baltimore City Council gave final approval to Harbor Point, a $1 billion multi-use project to be built on a vacant, remediated brownfield that juts into Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Like many urban development or redevelopment projects, Harbor Point will be supported by significant taxpayer subsidies. Between a $107 million direct investment in project-related infrastructure largely parks that will surround the to-be-built offices, shops and residences, and a waterfront promenade - along with a mixed bag of real estate and income tax incentives, the visible public support to Harbor Point will exceed $200 million, 20% of projected …
Thank You Sir, May I Have Another: The Issue Of The Unsustainablity Of Low Income Housing Tax Credits And Proposed Solutions, John Baber
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
The Federal Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program is currently the nation's largest federal subsidy for the development and rehabilitation of affordable housing, having created or preserved over 2.5 million housing units and distributed over $7.5 billion in federal tax credits to developers of and investors in affordable housing from the program's inception in 1986 through 2007. However, despite its monumental size and impact, the program has some potentially fatal flaws that threaten the long-term financial and physical viability of the very affordable housing that it creates, and threatens the health of the neighborhoods that it is created in. Affordable …
Taking On Water: Local Government, Eminent Domain, And The Foreclosure Crisis, Brian Cullin
Taking On Water: Local Government, Eminent Domain, And The Foreclosure Crisis, Brian Cullin
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
The 2008 Financial Crisis and the ensuing Great Recession sent shockwaves throughout the U.S. and global economy, wreaking havoc from Wall Street to Main Street. The Crisis harkened economic contraction, high unemployment, and elevated rates of home foreclosure. While the financial industry recovered, spelling an end to one crisis, another continues - the Foreclosure Crisis. The rate of home foreclosure, already ominously on the rise before 2008 and growing in intensity and breadth in the aftermath of the Financial Crisis, provides the foundation for this paper. This article examines an innovative public-private partnership between a private firm, Mortgage Resolution Partners …

What Can Comparative Legal Studies Learn From Feminist Legal Theories In The Era Of Globalization, Dana Raigrodski
University of Baltimore Law Review
This article re-examines the field of comparative law and comparative legal studies through the lens of feminist legal theories/studies (FLT). It suggests that lessons learned from the development of FLT and insights from shared epistemology and methodology within FLT can inform the ongoing controversies within comparative legal studies and provide comparative legal scholars and practitioners with the tools to maximize the benefits of comparative legal studies in the era of increasing global interdependence.
