Perpetuities: Basic Clarity, Muddled Reform, Robert L. Fletcher
Perpetuities: Basic Clarity, Muddled Reform, Robert L. Fletcher
Washington Law Review
This piece is intended to present the Rule Against Perpetuities, including its recent modifications, simply and understandably.

The goal is to ensure that the real core of the Rule is clearly portrayed.
