Revisiting Byrum, Brant J. Hellwig

In the landmark case of United States v. Byrum, the Supreme Court determined that a majority shareholder's retention of voting rights over stock transferred in trust did not cause the stock to be included in his gross estate under Section 2036(a)(1) or (a)(2). The Court grounded its decision in the fiduciary duty owed by the board of directors and the majority shareholder to exercise their discretion over corporate distributions to promote the best interests of the entity. Despite legislative action quickly reversing the Court's holding in Byrum, the case continued to influence decisions concerning the estate tax consequences of a …

After Enron: Remembering Loyalty Discourse In Corporate Law, Lyman P.Q. Johnson
After Enron: Remembering Loyalty Discourse In Corporate Law, Lyman P.Q. Johnson
Scholarly Articles
The demise of monetary damages as a remedy for breach of the corporate director duty of due care means that only a breach of the duty of loyalty or good faith affords the possibility of holding corporate directors personally liable for wrongdoing. The author argues that the fiduciary duty of loyalty contains both a widely appreciated, but rather minimal, "non-betrayal" aspect and a less appreciated, but more affirmative, "devotion" dimension. The affirmative. thrust of loyalty, grounded in widely-shared cultural norms and finding expression in myriad literary and religious stories, offers a doctrinal avenue for addressing a potentially broader range of …

Abusing State Power Or Controlling Risk?: Sex Offender Commitment And Sicherungverwahrung, Nora V. Demleitner
Abusing State Power Or Controlling Risk?: Sex Offender Commitment And Sicherungverwahrung, Nora V. Demleitner
Scholarly Articles
This article addresses a paradigmatic risk-based collateral sanction, the so-called civil confinement. In contrast to many other collateral sanctions, it does not follow automatically but is judicially imposed following a hearing. In Hendricks v. Kansas (1997) the Supreme Court specifically upheld involuntary confinement following a criminal justice sentence for a sexually violent predator. The Kansas statute mandated confinement based on an assessment of dangerousness which had to result from a mental abnormality. Once it characterized the sanction as civil, the Court concluded that procedural protections traditional in the criminal context, such as double jeopardy, do not apply. The narrow majority …

In response to the claim that many judges are deficient in their understanding of scientific methodology, this Article identifies in recent cases (i) a pragmatic perspective on the part of federal appellate judges when they reverse trial judges who tend to idealize science (i.e., who do not appreciate the local and practical goals and limitations of science), and (ii) an educational model of judicial gatekeeping that results in reversal of trial judges who defer to the social authority of science (i.e., who mistake authority for reliability). Next, this Article observes that courts (in the cases it analyzes) are not interested …

The Tenuous Nature Of The Medicaid Entitlement, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
The Tenuous Nature Of The Medicaid Entitlement, Timothy Stoltzfus Jost
Scholarly Articles
Though Medicare was from the outset an entitlement under federal law, the status of Medicaid has always been less certain. Arguably, it was the Supreme Court, rather than Congress that first recognized that Medicaid recipients (and providers) could sue the states in federal court to enforce federal Medicaid requirements. A recent widely reported federal court decision, however, called radically into question the continuing existence of a federal Medicaid entitlement. Though this decision has now been reversed, and rejected by other courts, it illustrates the tenuous nature of the Medicaid entitlement, and the need to reconstitute Medicaid as an exclusively federal …
