The U.S. Government Taking Under Eminent Domain: When Just Compensation Is Unjust (Comment), Michael Perez
The U.S. Government Taking Under Eminent Domain: When Just Compensation Is Unjust (Comment), Michael Perez
The Scholar: St. Mary's Law Review on Race and Social Justice
The true effects of private takings do not occur in a vacuum and are not solely academic in nature. The consequence of losing property implicates loss of income, loss of value in residual property, and loss of familial land. The importance of protecting the rights of individual land-owners becomes increasingly apparent when analyzing the effect of the taking.
This comment will explore how the government’s taking of private property occurs—including how the government has loosened restrictions and procedural hurdles. The analysis will focus specifically on processes, policies, and statutes, created and used by the federal government to facilitate takings necessary …

Unlimited Liability For Banks: Deposits As Fraudulent Transfers, Katherine Zampas
Unlimited Liability For Banks: Deposits As Fraudulent Transfers, Katherine Zampas
St. Mary's Law Journal
One of a trustee’s most valuable resources in bankruptcy proceedings is his avoidance powers. A trustee is charged with the duty to recover and recapture any property wrongfully removed from the estate by way of fraudulent transfer or preference. In some cases, a trustee has attempted to treat a debtor’s deposit into a bank account as a transfer, rendering it subject to his avoidance powers. Such a result will leave banks collaterally responsible as a transferee for a debtor’s conduct despite their lack of culpability and control over the funds.
The definition of transfer within the Bankruptcy Code is comprehensive …

Municipal Annexation Reform In Texas: How A Victory For Property Rights Jeopardizes The State’S Financial Health, Julie Polansky Bell
Municipal Annexation Reform In Texas: How A Victory For Property Rights Jeopardizes The State’S Financial Health, Julie Polansky Bell
St. Mary's Law Journal
Municipal annexation is the expansion of city boundaries. The greatest motivator behind municipal annexation is maintaining and improving economic prosperity of the annexing authority. The issue of annexation involves a balance of rights between property owners and municipalities of the state. Historically, Texas cities had broad annexation authority under an involuntary annexation scheme. However, in recent years the power has shifted as lawmakers have given property owners greater control over the annexation process. This trend culminated in the passage of the Municipal Annexation Right to Vote Act (MARVA) by the 85th Texas Legislature, which severely limits annexation authority.
Texas municipalities …

Keep Suing All The Lawyers: Recent Developments In Claims Against Lawyers For Aiding & Abetting A Client’S Breach Of Fiduciary Duty, Katerina P. Lewinbuk
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
Lawyers have increasingly become subject to liability under various legal theories, ranging from traditional legal malpractice or negligence liability claims to various third-party actions. Most recently, state and federal courts across the country have recognized attorney liability for aiding and abetting a client’s breach of fiduciary duty. This Article will address the current status of the cause of action for a lawyer’s aiding and abetting her client’s breach of fiduciary duty, explain the commonalities and distinguish nuances as outlined by particular states, examine recent decisions by federal courts that have recognized the cause of action, and culminate in its conclusion …
The Limited Duties Of Lawyers To Protect The Funds And Property Of Nonclients, Vincent R. Johnson
The Limited Duties Of Lawyers To Protect The Funds And Property Of Nonclients, Vincent R. Johnson
St. Mary's Journal on Legal Malpractice & Ethics
Issues arise daily in law practice about the duties owed by lawyers to nonclients with respect to funds or property entrusted to them. In resolving those issues, care must be exercised when interpreting state versions of Model Rule 1.15, the American Bar Association’s pattern ethics rule on safekeeping of funds and property. Otherwise, a lawyer’s duties to third persons may too readily encroach on the performance of obligations owed to clients, as well as on the legitimate interests of lawyers themselves.
As numerous authorities have recognized, lawyers are obliged to protect the property interests of third persons only if they …

Ulta And Non-Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure In Texas., Patricia E. Rant
Ulta And Non-Judicial Mortgage Foreclosure In Texas., Patricia E. Rant
St. Mary's Law Journal
Much of the current law governing secured land transactions remains closely akin to common law practices of feudal England. Consequently, certain aspects of the law in this area are provincial, anachronistic, and ill-suited to the needs of the modern borrower and lender. Even a cursory examination of Texas mortgage foreclosure law demonstrates certain shortcomings of the existing system. The Uniform Land Transactions Act (ULTA) professes to simplify, modernize, and unify state laws relating to real estate transactions. ULTA expects to accomplish these various purposes through uniformity in foreclosure proceedings. ULTA suggests several distinct advantages not currently available under Texas law. …
