Each year the Connecticut Bar Foundation conducts two symposia on issues of concern to the Bar of the State of Connecticut. The goal of each symposium is to bring together 40-45 people who are knowledgeable about the issue at hand, for a discussion of the problem and possible solutions.

A Statement Of Progressive Property, Gregory S. Alexander, Eduardo M. Peñalver, Joseph W. Singer, Laura S. Underkuffler Feb 2015

A Statement Of Progressive Property, Gregory S. Alexander, Eduardo M. Peñalver, Joseph W. Singer, Laura S. Underkuffler

Laura S. Underkuffler

What would a progressive theory of property look like? Although such a theory might take root within any number of specific normative frameworks, this Statement of Progressive Property outlines several features progressive theories of property should have in common. The Statement argues that we should understand property as both an idea and an institution, that property confers power and shapes community, both in its legal and social dimensions, and that property should be understood as serving plural and incommensurable values whose accommodation is possible through reasoned deliberation and practical judgment.

The Just And The Wild, Laura S. Underkuffler Feb 2015

The Just And The Wild, Laura S. Underkuffler

Laura S. Underkuffler

The question of the extent to which previously recognized property rights should continue to be protected has undoubtedly bedeviled every legal system that has attempted to address it. On the one hand, the legal idea of property reflects a broad societal commitment to the continued honoring of historically based entitlements on which individuals depend. On the other hand, every complex society is acutely aware of the inadequacy of the simple idea of the legal protection of existing rights as a response to human poverty, environmental degradation, and other critical problems. This issue of who has what - or who can …

Odious Discrimination And The Religious Exemption Question, Laura S. Underkuffler Feb 2015

Odious Discrimination And The Religious Exemption Question, Laura S. Underkuffler

Laura S. Underkuffler

Recently, claims have been asserted that religious exemptions should be afforded to individuals who object to providing public and commercial services to gay and lesbian individuals, as otherwise mandated by law (e.g., municipal clerks who must grant same-sex marriage licenses, or commercial vendors who are asked to serve at same-sex weddings). This article argues that just as religious exemptions of this sort are not granted for discrimination on the basis of race, religion, national origin, or gender, they should not be granted for discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or transgender status. Discrimination on the basis of an individual's …


The "Blaine" Debate: Must States Fund Religious Schools?, Laura S. Underkuffler Feb 2015

The "Blaine" Debate: Must States Fund Religious Schools?, Laura S. Underkuffler

Laura S. Underkuffler

In Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, the United States Supreme Court held-by a vote of 5 to 4-that the funding of religious schools with taxpayer money through voucher programs does not violate the Establishment Clause of the United States Constitution. Emboldened by this success, voucher proponents now attack state constitutional provisions (often called "Blaine Amendments") that prohibit taxpayer funding of religious schools. These state provisions, which may stand in the way of religious-school voucher programs, are attacked as violative of the federal Constitution, rooted in anti-religious bias, or otherwise illegal or unwise. It is my view that efforts to force states to …
