Legal Beagle: Ece's Best Friend May Be The Civil Law, Gerard V. Bradley
Journal Articles
The Everson no-aid principle is still the law, though barely so. We are within sight, meaning that we are within a single vote on the Supreme Court, of return to the tradition described by the bishops. Consummation of this development must loom large in any plan for legal action in light of ECE. Short of the tradition's second coming, the only potential civil law cost of implementing ECE is this: if a Catholic college is deemed to be "pervasively sectarian" then, but only then, "direct" public aid to the institution will be constitutionally suspect. But no court is likely to …

La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
La Doctrine Et L'Interprétation Du Code Civil, Stéphane Beaulac
Dalhousie Law Journal
Les Éditions Thémis publiaient en 1997 un livre intitulé La doctrine et l'interprétation du Code civil, par Me Sylvie Parent. Cette étude constitue le fruit de ses recherches et de sa réflection effectuées dans le cadre de ses travaux de maîtrise en droit à l'Université de Montreal; son directeur de thèse était le professeur Pieffe-André Côté, éminent auteur dans le domaine de l'interprétation des lois. C'est à ce dernier qu'est revenu l'honneur de rédiger la préface de cet ouvrage. Il n'a point hésité, à juste titre d'ailleurs, d'ajouter le nom de Me Parent à la liste d'auteurs contemporains ayant contribué, …

Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza
Religion And The Public Defender, Sadiq Reza
Faculty Scholarship
This Essay will argue that the public defender, or any other attorney appointed by the court to defend adults or juveniles charged with criminal offenses, should not undertake, or fail to undertake, any action to the legal detriment of a client on the basis of a conflict the attorney perceives between religious and professional imperatives, except in the rare case of imminent death or serious bodily harm to another. This argument rests on the following four premises: (1) the public defender occupies a unique position in our legal system, and options that may be available to lawyers who serve private …

Bastardy And The Statute Of Wills: Interpreting A Sixteenth-Century Statute With Cases And Readings, M C. Mirow
Bastardy And The Statute Of Wills: Interpreting A Sixteenth-Century Statute With Cases And Readings, M C. Mirow
Faculty Publications
The Statute of Wills of 1540 created a tax loophole for transfers of property to illegitimate children. Assessments for wardships that would normally be imposed on certain transfers of land to children could be effectively avoided by establishing that the donee was illegitimate, and therefore a stranger to the donor for the purposes of the statute. English lawyers in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries educated their colleagues about this newly available loophole. In the inns of court, lawyers discussed the statutory provisions and recent revenue cases from the Court of Wards. This article sets out the loophole, examines how the …

Local Government Land Use Restrictions And Selected First Amendment Issues, Barbara Jo Nelson
Local Government Land Use Restrictions And Selected First Amendment Issues, Barbara Jo Nelson
LLM Theses and Essays
A local government's power to enact zoning regulations falls within the general power to provide for the health, safety, and welfare of its citizenry. This thesis addresses a few selected First Amendment issues as they apply to zoning and land use restrictions in Georgia. Free speech review of zoning ordinances applies to zoning for adult sex businesses, such as adult book stores and cinemas. The First Amendment balancing test that is applicable to adult entertainment ordinances is discussed in Chapter One. The free speech impact of restrictions on signs and billboards is discussed in Chapter Two. Finally, in Chapter Three, …

The View From The Bottomless Pit: Truth, Myth, And Irony In A Civil Action, Jerome P. Facher
Seattle University Law Review
This Article offers the observations, analysis, and commentary of Beatrice's chief trial counsel about some of the important issues and rulings in Anderson, the accuracy of the events reported in A Civil Action, and the misimpressions created by the book's undoubted tilt in the plaintiffs' direction. Wherever possible, this Article's effort to balance the scales relies on court records, trial and hearing transcripts, and on other actual trial materials in Anderson to present the relevant facts and events in the context in which they arose. Contrary to the erroneous impression of justice gone astray created by the book …

A Comparison Of New Zealand Taxpayers' Rights With Selected Civil Law And Common Law Countries, Adrian J. Sawyer
A Comparison Of New Zealand Taxpayers' Rights With Selected Civil Law And Common Law Countries, Adrian J. Sawyer
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
This article seeks to ascertain the breadth of rights that taxpayers enjoy in New Zealand in comparison with their counterparts in a number of common law and civil law jurisdictions. Such a comparison enables the wealth of experience that codification of rights in civil law countries can provide in comparison to the traditionally lower reliance on statutory protection in common law jurisdictions. From this comparative analysis common themes are distilled, as well as differences between New Zealand and various civil law and common law nations with respect to the legal position and state of taxpayers' rights. The author mounts a …

The Civil Law Trust, Maurizio Lupoi
The Civil Law Trust, Maurizio Lupoi
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
It is generally held that trusts are incompatible with the basic assumptions of civil law systems. In order to discuss this statement one would have to inquire, first, what is meant by the term "trusts"; second, what assumed common characteristics of the civil law systems are being envisaged and declared to bein compatible with trusts; and third, why those characteristics should be incompatible with trusts. It is also commonly held that the Hague Convention of 1984 on the law applicable to and the recognition of trusts concerns only those trusts that are foreign to the jurisdiction in which the rules …
International Recognition And Adaptation Of Trusts: The Influence Of The Hague Convention, Adair Dyere
International Recognition And Adaptation Of Trusts: The Influence Of The Hague Convention, Adair Dyere
Vanderbilt Journal of Transnational Law
The process of bringing English-style trusts into systems that do not have a similar device is fraught with difficulties. This is especially true with respect to efforts directed towards the creation of a domestic trust law within such a system, but it is also true about the adaptation of legal institutions that is necessary in order to recognize trusts created under foreign law, in accordance with Article 11 of the Hague Trusts Convention. Thus far, it can be said that no country that did not have trusts before the Hague Trusts Convention has reacted to the Convention by adopting a …

The Woburn Case: Is There A Better Way?, Michael B. Keating

This essay suggests that the intense public interest in the best selling novel, A Civil Action, and the subsequent film should be directed less to Academy Awards nominations and more toward ways to improve the methods that our legal system employs to resolve complex and important disputes.
