Law For Sale: Alaska And Delaware Compete For The Asset Protection Trust Market And The Wealth That Follows, Amy L. Wagenfeld

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

For years, U.S. citizens have looked to offshore jurisdictions to create trusts that protect a settlor's assets from the claims of creditors, yet allow the settlor to be named as a beneficiary. United States law and public policy have long been against the idea of allowing a person to enjoy benefits from assets that are simultaneously shielded from creditors' claims. However, despite this existing public policy, Alaska and Delaware have enacted statutes that attempt to do just that. Essentially, these statutes claim to make what used to be possible only offshore, now possible in the United States.

Roundtable Discussion, David Aronofsky, Barry S. Engel, Eric Henzy, Gideon Rothschild, Jeffrey A. Schoenblum

Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law

Welcome to the Roundtable panel discussion. Each of the speakers is going to open with a few minutes statement.

And then, any questions you may have we believe we'll have sufficient time to ask those questions and have them answered. You may get very different views. And then we've just decided that the jury will decide whether asset protection trusts are a good thing or a bad thing. Okay. So pay attention.

Working Without Rights: Recognizing Housestaff Unionization--An Argument For The Reversal Of "Cedars-Sinai Medical Center And St. Clare's Hospital", Jennifer A. Shorb

Vanderbilt Law Review

Increased competition in today's health care industry has contributed to the industry's growing emphasis on cost-containment. Concerns about this focus on the bottom line have motivated some caregivers to attempt to improve working conditions and the quality of patient care through unionization. One such group, "housestaff' or "house officers," is comprised of hospital interns, residents, and fellows. These individuals are medical school graduates seeking additional training for licensure and specialization. Housestaff are often overworked, underpaid, and forced to deal with working conditions that adversely affect patient care. Such conditions force many house officers to join union organizations and seek the …

Regulatory Takings: Analyzing Governmental Invasions Of Private Property Rights, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The complicated arena of takings jurisprudence has confused lawyers, scholars, and courts for well over a century. Generally, a taking is deemed to have occurred when a governmental body takes a property right away from a private individual without providing just compensation. However, courts are unlikely to find that a regulation constitutes a taking if the regulation benefits the greater good of the public. Takings come in several varieties, most notably, “invasions” which include physical occupation and “total takings”, which deprive landowners of all economic value of their property. This article discusses how takings law has evolved into its present …
