Taxes, Bankruptcy, And The Lazarus Problem, Alan L. Feld

Faculty Scholarship

[1] The Ninth Circuit recently barred the IRS from its day in court in a personal bankruptcy proceeding. ¹ The issue in the case concerned the effect, in a chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding, of a dismissal order followed later by an order reinstating the case. The Ninth Circuit counted the number of days between the dismissal and the reinstatement against the government and ordered the IRS proof of claim dismissed as untimely. As a result, the tax owing became subject to discharge in the bankruptcy without taxpayer payment.

[2] The result defeats the intent of the statute and creates waste …

String Citations-Part I, K.K. Duvivier

Sturm College of Law: Faculty Scholarship

Whenever you list more than one authority to support the same legal proposition, you are using a "string citation." The name arises from the impression that the writer is "stringing" together several citations. In a string citation, each authority follows the next in a proscribed order: (1) by strength of authority (primary before secondary, enacted law before case law); (2) by jurisdiction (federal before state, alphabetically among states); (3) by rank of court (highest to lowest court); and (4) by date (reverse chronological with most recent first).' Semi-colons are placed between each authority.

Global Finance And The International Monetary Fund's Neoliberal Agenda: The Threat To The Employment, Ethnic Identity, And Cultural Pluralism Of Latina/O Communities, Timothy A. Canova

Faculty Scholarship

This Article places recent Lat-Crit scholarship in an institutional and inter-disciplinary context. It serves not just as an indictment of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agenda of structural adjustment and liberalization. It also questions the positioning of Lat-Crit scholars to remain silent or complicit with the IMF's agenda. Canova provides a counter-narrative that is rich in historical revisionism, heterodox economics, and sociological conclusions. His recognition of the global unemployment crisis - made largely invisible by orthodox economics and flawed government measurements - is combined with existential insights about the nature of underemployment on the formation of individual identity and cultural …

The Legal Characterization Of The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) And The Individual Action Plans In International Law, Sedfrey M. Candelaria

Ateneo School of Law Publications

The emergence of various economic groupings in different parts of the world has given rise to the accompanying issue of compliance by member States with their commitments under the respective charters or codes of conduct of their economic or trade regimes. A fundamental concern confronting these regimes is the need to design a system of effectively enforcing the obligations and commitments assumed by member States. Historically, the evolution of law in the realm of international economic transactions took a cautious route. While States have traditionally entered into bilateral agreements in the form of friendship, commerce and navigation treaties, the concept …

The Bankruptcy Trust As A Legal Person, Thomas E. Plank

Scholarly Works

The purpose of this article is to show how the Bankruptcy Code authorizes the creation of the bankruptcy trust as a legal person. The filing of a petition under the Bankruptcy Code creates an "estate" consisting of enumerated property interests. The Code also provides for the appointment of a trustee-a separate bankruptcy trustee or, in chapter 11 or chapter 12 cases, the debtor in possession-with broad powers to act as the representative of the estate. The Code does not, however, expressly define the status of the estate as a legal entity. Although the Code occasionally speaks of the estate as …

Bifurcation Unbound, Steven S. Gensler

Washington Law Review

The bifurcation of issues in a federal trial under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(b) offers many benefits for both litigants and the judiciary. One of the greatest potential benefits of issue bifurcation is increased judicial efficiency. Frequently the jury's disposition of the first issue will obviate the need to try the remaining issues. Despite this efficiency potential, bifurcation is controversial. Historically, the opponents of bifurcation have leveled three primary criticisms against bifurcation: (1) that it skews verdict outcomes in favor of defendants, (2) that it infringes on the role of the civil jury, and (3) that it creates a …

One Crime, Many Convicted: Dissociative Identity Disorder And The Exclusion Of Expert Testimony In State V. Greene, Mary Eileen Crego

Washington Law Review

In State v. Greene, the Supreme Court of Washington held that expert testimony about Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) was not admissible to support an insanity or diminished-capacity defense. Even though the court acknowledged DID as a generally accepted medical disorder, the court reasoned that such testimony would not be helpful to the trier of fact, as required by Washington Evidence Rule (ER) 702, because the court has not established a specific standard for determining the legal responsibility of a defendant with multiple personalities. This Note argues that the Greene court had sufficient scientific evidence to establish a legal standard …

Some Questions For Civil Society-Revivalists, Linda C. Mcclain, James E. Fleming

Faculty Scholarship

The Article raises some questions for proponents of reviving civil society as a cure for many of our nation's political, civic, and moral ills (whom McClain and Fleming designate as "civil society-revivalists"). How does civil society serve as "seedbeds of virtue" and foster self-government? Have liberal conceptions of the person corroded civil society and undermined self-government? Does the revivalists' focus on the family focus on the right problems? Have gains in equality and liberty caused the decline of civil society? Should we revive civil society or "a civil society"? Would a revitalized civil society support democratic self-government or supplant it? …

Latinas And Religion: Subordination Or State Of Grace?, Laura M. Padilla

How Level Is The Playing Field - Should Employers Be Able To Circumvent State Workers' Compensation Schemes By Creating Their Own Employee Compensation Plans - Strawn V. Afc Enterprises, D/B/A Church's Chicken, Nathan E. Ross

Journal of Dispute Resolution

Disputes resulting from workplace incidents are consuming increasingly greater proportions of our courts' dockets.2 In recent years, "[e]mployment litigation has grown at a rate many times greater than litigation in general ... almost one thousand percent greater than the increase in all other types of civil litigation combined."3 Due to the unequal bargaining power employers possess over employees in these disputes, states have passed workers' compensation laws to level the playing field.' However, employers have chosen not to subscribe to their states' workers' compensation systems, but instead have created their own employee compensation plans.' In addition, these employer-created compensation plans …
