Enough Is As Good As A Feast, Noah C. Chauvin
Enough Is As Good As A Feast, Noah C. Chauvin
Seattle University Law Review
Ipse Dixit, the podcast on legal scholarship, provides a valuable service to the legal community and particularly to the legal academy. The podcast’s hosts skillfully interview guests about their legal and law-related scholarship, helping those guests communicate their ideas clearly and concisely. In this review essay, I argue that Ipse Dixit has made a major contribution to legal scholarship by demonstrating in its interview episodes that law review articles are neither the only nor the best way of communicating scholarly ideas. This contribution should be considered “scholarship,” because one of the primary goals of scholarship is to communicate new ideas.

Debt Stigma And Social Class, Michael D. Sousa
Debt Stigma And Social Class, Michael D. Sousa
Seattle University Law Review
For as long as creditors have been extending credit to consumer debtors, Western society has stigmatized those individuals who failed to repay their financial obligations or who found themselves swamped by unmanageable debt. Over the past three decades, scholars have studied whether the stigma surrounding indebtedness and bankruptcy has declined or increased in American society, mainly due to the sharp spike in consumer bankruptcy filings during the 1990s. These studies have resulted in a general debate over whether debt stigma still exists in society. Absent from the scholarly literature to date is an exploration of whether debtors from different social …
Bringing Continuity To Cryptocurrency: Commercial Law As A Guide To The Asset Categorization Of Bitcoin, Evan Hewitt
Bringing Continuity To Cryptocurrency: Commercial Law As A Guide To The Asset Categorization Of Bitcoin, Evan Hewitt
Seattle University Law Review
This Note will undertake to analyze bitcoin under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and the Internal Revenue Code (IRC)—two important sources of commercial law—to see whether any existing asset categories adequately protect bitcoin’s commercial viability. This Note will demonstrate that although commercial law dictates that bitcoin should—nay must—be regulated as a currency in order to sustain its existence, the very definition of currency seems to preclude that from happening. Therefore, this Note will recommend that we experiment with a new type of asset that receives currency-like treatment, specifically designed for cryptocurrencies, under which bitcoin can be categorized in order to …
Of More Than Usual Interest: The Taxing Problem Of Debt Principal, Charlene D. Luke
Of More Than Usual Interest: The Taxing Problem Of Debt Principal, Charlene D. Luke
Seattle University Law Review
Leverage is an essential but often troubling component of the U.S. market. The financial crisis highlighted the risks and complexity of a leverage web that includes flesh-and-blood people from all walks of life and paper people from all corners of the business and investment world. In the tax area, the potentially problematic incentive effects of interest deductibility have long engaged a wide array of tax commentators and policymakers. While interest deductibility rightly receives widespread scrutiny, a more comprehensive approach to leverage is needed. This Article focuses on the surprisingly complicated tax treatment of cash (and cash equivalent) borrowings. This Article …
Nothing Natural About It: Still Searching For A Solution To The Chapter 11 Stamp Tax Exemption, Lindsay K. Taft
Nothing Natural About It: Still Searching For A Solution To The Chapter 11 Stamp Tax Exemption, Lindsay K. Taft
Seattle University Law Review
In June of 2008, in Florida Department of Revenue v. Piccadilly Cafeterias, Inc., the Supreme Court settled a circuit split and issued a bright line rule stating that asset transfers made prior to the confirmation of a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization no longer benefit from certain tax exemptions. As a result, the cost of selling assets in a bankruptcy case outside of a plan will increase. The provision at issue in the case, which exempts asset transfers and sales from certain state taxes, contains language ambiguous enough that four federal circuit courts have contemplated which types of asset …
Your Licensor Has A License To Kill, And It May Be Yours: Why The Ninth Circuit Should Resist Bankruptcy Law That Threatens Intellectual Property Licensing Rights, Jon Minear
Seattle University Law Review
In recent opinions, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit has interpreted the Bankruptcy Code ("the Code") in a manner that makes inaction or ignorance perilous for IP licensees whose licensor declares bankruptcy. Although Congress amended the Code to protect a licensee from losing technology rights in these situations, the Seventh Circuit has narrowly interpreted a strikingly similar bankruptcy provision involving real-estate leases and, in doing so, has cast doubt on the efficacy of the licensee protections found in section 365(n) of the Code. In addition, this circuit has broadly interpreted another Code section dealing with title-clearing sales …
Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies
Rescuing The Rescued: Stemming The Tide Of Foreclosure Rescue Scams In Washington, Zachary E. Davies
Seattle University Law Review
While foreclosure rescue scam (FRS) victims have many remedies under existing statutes, remedies are inadequate because they fail to holistically address the FRS problem. A successful statutory approach to combating the spread of this insidious scam must rest on three legs: education, enforcement, and litigation. First, homeowners facing foreclosure need timely warnings regarding the existence and prevalence of the FRS before the onslaught of FRSA solicitations begins. Next, in addition to education,homeowners need effective enforcement of the statutes that are supposed to protect them. Finally, homeowners wronged by FRSAs need to be able to seek civil relief that both adequately …
Article Iii And The "Related To" Bankruptcy Jurisdiction: A Case Study In Protective Jurisdiction, Thomas C. Galligan, Jr.
Article Iii And The "Related To" Bankruptcy Jurisdiction: A Case Study In Protective Jurisdiction, Thomas C. Galligan, Jr.
Seattle University Law Review
Section II of this paper briefly sets out the jurisdictional scheme of the 1984 Act. Section III presents and describes the argument that the "related to" bankruptcy jurisdiction is unconstitutional. Statements in the legislative history indicate that some legislators believed it would be unconstitutional for a federal court to take jurisdiction in a non-diversity case with Marathon-type state law issues. Several cases have adopted this reasoning and have held that in order for a federal court to have "related to" bankruptcy jurisdiction there must be an independent basis for federal jurisdiction. The Supreme Court cases supporting "related to" jurisdiction are …
A Fresh Start Through Bankruptcy: Fact Or Frustration For The Student Loan Debtor?, Barbara Linde
A Fresh Start Through Bankruptcy: Fact Or Frustration For The Student Loan Debtor?, Barbara Linde
Seattle University Law Review
The rapidly increasing number of student loans maturing under the relatively new guaranteed student loan program have spawned a dramatic increase in the number of educational loans discharged in bankruptcy. This comment will examine former students' ability to obtain college transcripts after discharge of their student loans through bankruptcy. It will discuss the two cases holding that a private college can deny transcripts to bankrupts, but a state college cannot." Furthermore, it will inquire into the purposes of the Bankruptcy Act, the correctness of the restrictive judicial interpretation of the 1970 amendments," and alternative judicial approaches that better reflect the …
