Bad Consequences, Lackland H. Bloom Jr. Jan 2002

Bad Consequences, Lackland H. Bloom Jr.

SMU Law Review

When faced with a decision, if one alternative is likely to lead to bad results, a rational person would presumably hesitate before choosing that course of action. Thus, the bad consequences argument tends to have logical and intuitive appeal. Moreover, it is an easy argument to make. Decisions, especially legal decisions, generally do have consequences, and it will usually be difficult to determine exactly what they will be with any certainty. The future, by definition, is uncertain. And yet, it only takes a modicum of imagination to speculate about what very well might happen. The argument of bad consequences can …


Home Equity Loans In Texas: Maintaining The Texas Tradition Of Homestead Protection, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers Jan 2002

Home Equity Loans In Texas: Maintaining The Texas Tradition Of Homestead Protection, Julia Patterson Forrester Rogers

SMU Law Review

This Article examines home equity financing in Texas, focusing on how continued protection of the homestead shelters Texas homeowners from problems experienced by some homeowners in other states. In Part I of the Article, I briefly explore the history of homestead protection and home equity loans in Texas, a subject on which Joe McKnight literally wrote the book. In Part II, I discuss the growth of home equity loans in other states, the reasons for their popularity, and the problems that have arisen for homeowners who have been victimized by predatory lenders. Part III examines the constitutional amendment that ultimately …


Interpretive Issues In Seminole And Alden, Lackland H. Bloom Jr. Jan 2002

Interpretive Issues In Seminole And Alden, Lackland H. Bloom Jr.

SMU Law Review

For students of constitutional interpretation, Seminole Tribe of Florida v. Florida and Alden v. Maine, two of the Court's most important recent Eleventh Amendment opinions, are gold mines. Each is a monumental opinion with lengthy and spirited debate between the majority and the dissents. Every significant method of constitutional interpretation (including textualism, original understanding, structure, precedent, doctrine, practice, and rhetoric) is employed by both the majorities and the dissents. Both the majorities and the dissents are able to advance solid and respectable arguments in favor of their positions. Arguably, these two cases could be used as texts for the study …

Rethinking Corporate Fiduciary Duties: The Inefficiency Of The Shareholder Primacy Norm, Gregory S. Crespi Jan 2002

Rethinking Corporate Fiduciary Duties: The Inefficiency Of The Shareholder Primacy Norm, Gregory S. Crespi

SMU Law Review

Current judicial practice regards the fiduciary duties of corporate officials as running exclusively to the common shareholders, and not to the bondholders or preferred shareholders, or to the corporation as a whole. In this article, the author addresses the question of whether defining the corporation as a whole as the subject of these fiduciary duties would better promote economic efficiency. Ultimately, the author concludes that economic efficiency would be enhanced if the locus of corporate officials' fiduciary duties was redefined as running to the corporation, both for larger corporations with publicly-held securities and smaller corporations whose securities may be more …
