The Business Bankruptcy “Big 3” And The Unanticipated Benefits Of Subchapter V, Marshall V. Ringwood
The Business Bankruptcy “Big 3” And The Unanticipated Benefits Of Subchapter V, Marshall V. Ringwood
BYU Law Review
The liberal bankruptcy venue rules in the United States have their defenders and advocates. Subchapter V of the Bankruptcy Code came into effect in 2020, justified as a bipartisan solution to a longstanding problem in corporate bankruptcy where restructuring under Chapter 11 was prohibitively expensive for small-business debtors. On June 21, 2024, Subchapter V’s extended debt limit of $7,500,000 in liabilities reverted back to a statutorily defined $3,024,725. In addition to the justifications offered by organizations such as the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) for both Subchapter V, generally, and a permanent increase to its debt limit, I argue that Subchapter …
The Inconvenience Doctrine, Alexi Pfeffer-Gillett
The Inconvenience Doctrine, Alexi Pfeffer-Gillett
BYU Law Review
In a nation of stark inequalities, the Roberts Court is often portrayed as siding with the wealthy and powerful. Many scholars argue that the Court has abandoned legal principles altogether and instead simply chooses winners and losers based on the conservative majority’s political agenda. Meanwhile, scholarly examinations of the legal reasoning underlying the Court’s most impactful decisions are largely confined to specific subject areas. Such compartmentalized analyses, though, overlook broader patterns in the Court’s rulings that transcend substantive legal boundaries.
This Article bridges the gap in these parallel conversations by connecting the Roberts Court’s reasoning across many legal fields with …
Standing In The Dark, Sharon Brett
Standing In The Dark, Sharon Brett
BYU Law Review
Demonstrating standing for injunctive relief in § 1983 police misconduct cases is undisputedly difficult for civil rights plaintiffs. Under City of Los Angeles v. Lyons, plaintiffs seeking injunctions must present more than evidence of past misconduct; they must show a significant ongoing risk that they will experience the same misconduct again. Scholarly attention to Lyons has focused primarily on doctrinal errors in the Court’s legal analysis, and for good reason. But the case raises another important yet overlooked question: Can civil rights plaintiffs realistically demonstrate risk of future harm given (a) the limited data kept by law enforcement about their …
The Market For Bankruptcy Courts: A Case For Regulation, Not Obliteration, Brook E. Gotberg
The Market For Bankruptcy Courts: A Case For Regulation, Not Obliteration, Brook E. Gotberg
BYU Law Review
Large corporate debtors typically file for bankruptcy only after conducting a thorough analysis as to the most favorable venue for the case. Recent legislation has proposed to severely limit all corporate debtors’ ability to select bankruptcy venue. The messaging behind calls for venue reform is outwardly altruistic: it is said to be necessary to facilitate access to justice and to prevent abuse of the system. However, the push for venue reform is largely driven by professional envy and a distrust of specific judges based on unpopular high-profile rulings. Placing new constraints on the ability to choose venue will not achieve …

The (Surprisingly) Prevalent Role Of States In An Era Of Federalized Class Actions, Linda S. Mullenix
BYU Law Review
In enacting the Class Action Fairness Act of 2005 (CAFA), Congress intended to expand access to the federal courts for interstate class actions by creating minimal diversity and removal jurisdiction. In Section 2 of the Act, “Findings and Purposes,” Congress stated that class action abuses undermined “the concept of diversity jurisdiction as intended by the Framers of the United States Constitution” in that state courts kept cases of national importance out of federal court and sometimes demonstrated bias against out-of-state defendants. Congress stated that a purpose of CAFA was to “restore the intent of the framers of the United States …

Who Will Control The Future Of Indian Gaming? "A Few Pages Of History Are Worth A Volume Of Logic", Kevin J. Worthen, Wayne R. Farnsworth
BYU Law Review
This Article attempts to place the current controversy concerning reservation gaming into perspective by viewing it not solely as a 1990s battle over casinos in IndianCountry, but as the latest round in a much longer and larger struggle among the federal, state and tribal governments over the States' role in governing Native American groups within state borders. The Article argues that federal-state relations on non-Indian issues often shape federal Indian policy more than a thoughtful consideration of the proper balance between state economic and tribal autonomy issues. What may begin as a dispute about tribal-state relations on a particular matter, …
