Is It More Than Dodging Lions And Wastin' Time: Adequacy Of Counsel, Questions Of Competence, And The Judicial Process In Individual Right To Refuse Treatment Cases, Michael L. Perlin, Deborah Dorfman

Articles & Chapters

This article argues that, if the MacArthur Treatment Competence Study (e.g., P. S. Appelbaum and T. Grisso, Grisso et al, and Grisso and Appelbaum; see records 82:39258, 82:35494, and 82:37814, respectively) is to be meaningfully operationalized, it is necessary to consider the ways that counsel is provided in individual cases to institutionalized individuals wishing to assert the right to refuse antipsychotic drug treatment. It looks at the role of counsel in individual right to refuse cases, examines the ways that counsel is assigned in 3 states, and considers the underlying questions through the filters of "sanism" and "pretextuality." It concludes …

Reforming The Requirements For Due Execution Of Wills: Some Guidance From The Past, Lloyd Bonfield Jan 1996

Reforming The Requirements For Due Execution Of Wills: Some Guidance From The Past, Lloyd Bonfield

Articles & Chapters

The recent revision of the Uniform Probate Code (1990) accepted the "dispensing power" with respect to will execution, revocation, revival, and alteration. Under section 2-503, a will that has not been executed in conformity with the formalities of will execution should nevertheless be admitted to probate if the probate court finds "by clear and convincing evidence" that the decedent intended the document to stand as a will This Article reviews the literature supporting the change in wills acts and examines cases that have considered applying remedies for defectively executed wills. It is argued by the proponents of the dispensing power …

Rights, Remembrance And The Reconciliation Of Difference, David Engel, Frank W. Munger Jan 1996

Rights, Remembrance And The Reconciliation Of Difference, David Engel, Frank W. Munger

Articles & Chapters

Rights in American society present a paradox-critics increasingly assert that proliferation of rights is undermining Americans' sense of community, yet scholars continue to document Americans' reluctance to assert formal legal rights. We explore the meaning of rights in American society by describing the intersection between the evolving civil rights of a previously excluded minority, culminating in the, and the personal histories of two individuals who might potentially invoke or benefit from such rights. Tracing the life stories of "Sara Lane" and 'Jill Golding" from childhood through adolescence to adulthood and employment, we relate the everyday relevance or irrelevance of law …


Law And Inequality: Race, Gender…And, Of Course, Class, Carroll Serron, Frank W. Munger Jan 1996

Law And Inequality: Race, Gender…And, Of Course, Class, Carroll Serron, Frank W. Munger

Articles & Chapters

This chapter discusses the concept of class in an important subfield, the sociology of law. Class, a pivotal institution of society, was central to the earliest studies of legal institutions and of law and inequality in particular. More recently, class has played a less important role. This chapter argues for the continuing importance of class and provides examples of its potential use in contemporary sociolegal research. The first part reviews early work that employed class and instrumental models of the state. Grounded, anti-formal models of law provided a contrasting view. Following wider trends in the discipline, sociology of law turned …

Comparing The Concepts Of ‘Property’ And ‘Value’ In Real Estate Law And Real Property Taxation, Gerald Korngold Jan 1996

Comparing The Concepts Of ‘Property’ And ‘Value’ In Real Estate Law And Real Property Taxation, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

This article first explores property law 's model for addressing split ownership of land so that its relevance to real estate taxation can be examined. It then discusses the public policies and pragmatic concerns that influence the judicial definitions of "property" and "value" in real estate taxation. Finally, four areas, of property law are examined that raise questions of "property" and land "value" that are analogous to those in real estate taxation. Each of these four areas of property law teaches an important lesson about the comparative meanings of "property" and "value."

The New Community Reinvestment Act Regulations: An Attempt To Implement Performance-Based Standards, Richard D. Marsico Jan 1996

The New Community Reinvestment Act Regulations: An Attempt To Implement Performance-Based Standards, Richard D. Marsico

Articles & Chapters

On May 4, 1995, the federal banking regulatory agencies published new Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) regulations.' This culminated a process that began nearly two years earlier, in July 1993, when President Clinton called on the agencies to reform the CRA enforcement regime. The goal was to institute a regulatory scheme that emphasized lending performance over process, that was more objective and less subject to arbitrary interpretation, and that reduced unnecessary paperwork.2 With this presidential mandate, the agencies commenced a 21-month odyssey that included seven hearings around the country with more than 250 witnesses, two sets of proposed revisions to the …
