Save The Marriage Before (Not After) The Ceremony: The Marriage Preparation Act - Can We Have A Public Response To A Private Problem, Lundy Langston
Save The Marriage Before (Not After) The Ceremony: The Marriage Preparation Act - Can We Have A Public Response To A Private Problem, Lundy Langston

Two individuals meet, engage in an intimate, not necessarily sexual, relationship and marry. The two join in a union with the promise to spend the remainder of their natural lives together. But forever is not forever. On a national level, over 50 percent of marriages end in divorce.' Perhaps marriage vows should include a statement about the inevitability of divorce. States' divorce laws vary, from faultbased, to no-fault, to a statutory period of separation. Some states recently made it easier for individuals to be granted a divorce. Reasons for making it easier to end marriages could have been related to …

The American 'Legal' Dilemma: Colorblind I/Colorblind Ii--The Rules Have Changed Again: A Semantic Apothegmatic Permutation, John C. Duncan Jr
The American 'Legal' Dilemma: Colorblind I/Colorblind Ii--The Rules Have Changed Again: A Semantic Apothegmatic Permutation, John C. Duncan Jr
Journal Publications
"Our Constitution is colorblind" initially meant that white majority preferences could not and should not be reflected in government action. The maxim now means race should not be reflected at all in government action. The answer to racism lies somewhere between well-reasoned "blind" hope and historically-proven skepticism. Part I of this Article discusses the ideal of the colorblind society; Part II discusses what this Article deems as Colorblind I. Part III places each colorblind argument in perspective, and seeks to illustrate that the concept of colorblindness could be an ideal, but has rather become meaningless rhetoric in an endless racial …
Convenient Shorthand: The Supreme Court And The Language Of State Sovereignty, Benjamin Priester, H. Jefferson Powell
Convenient Shorthand: The Supreme Court And The Language Of State Sovereignty, Benjamin Priester, H. Jefferson Powell
Journal Publications
Recent Supreme Court decisions have dramatically underscored the significance of the states as vital entities within the United States constitutional system. The Court has repeatedly protected the states' political and legal integrity against congressional conscription' and federal court litigation. In addition, the Court has broadened the effective range of state autonomy through its revival of content-based limitations on the scope of Congress's delegated powers. This recent wave of federalism has generated opinions that often seem to turn on The problem with this principle of respect for state sovereignty is that its meaning is not self-evident. The states plainly are not …
Advertisements And Sponsorships In Charitable Cyberspace: Virtual Reality Meets Legal Fiction, Darryll K. Jones
Advertisements And Sponsorships In Charitable Cyberspace: Virtual Reality Meets Legal Fiction, Darryll K. Jones
Journal Publications
By now, it is perhaps cliche to quote Sir Walter Scott's familiar refrain' when referring to communications occurring via the World Wide Web (the Web). And yet, that age-old wisdom comes readily to mind when one considers the unrelated business income tax (UBIT) as it relates to charities that, for consideration paid, participate in a profit-seeker's web-based marketing communications. That first lie, to be precise, is that a charity's payment-induced, unlimited public display of a profit-seeker's logo, slogan and product, when unaccompanied by "comparative or qualitative descriptions" or explicit requests to buy, results in no trade or business income for …
The Scintilla Of Individual Profit: In Search Of Private Inurement And Excess Benefit, Darryll K. Jones
The Scintilla Of Individual Profit: In Search Of Private Inurement And Excess Benefit, Darryll K. Jones
Journal Publications
Private inurement certainly manifests itself in "protean" ways, but regardless of form, the prohibition against private inurement must be rendered consistent with the generally accepted notion that exempt entities are singularly distinguishable from taxable entities by the act of forbearance with respect to individual profit, since that is the distinction the prohibition was originally intended to enforce. Rendering the prohibition consistent with the single notion underlying the existence and theories of tax-exemption will resolve much of its elasticity, elusiveness, and long-lasting evolution. Such a result is necessary and good not only because of the imposition of personal liability under section …
The Spratly Islands Dispute: China Defines The New Millennium, Omar Saleem
The Spratly Islands Dispute: China Defines The New Millennium, Omar Saleem
Journal Publications
China is a growing and prosperous nation that many predict will become the second most powerful military and economic nation in the world, behind the United States, within the early part of the new millennium. China's developmental goals include a claim of right to the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea. The China/Taiwan claim to the Spratly Islands is antagonistic towards the claims asserted by Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Vietnam who each claim the Spratly Islands in whole or in part. This Article focuses on China's perception of the Spratly Islands dispute and China's potential courses of conduct …
