The Emergence Of A General Reformation Doctrine For Wills, Lawrence W. Waggoner, John H. Langbein

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

Although it has been axiomatic that our courts do not entertain suits to reform wills on the ground of mistake, appellate courts in New York, Michigan, New Jersey, and California have decided cases within the last several years that may presage the abandonment of the ancient "no-reformation" rule. (In re Snide, 52 N.Y.2d 193, 418 N.E.2d 656, 437 N.Y.S.2d 63 (1981); Estate of Kremlick, 331 N.W.2d 228 (Mich. 1983); Engle v. Siegel, 74 N.J. 287, 377 A.2d 892 (1977); and Estate of Taff, 63 Cal.

What Do Tax Limitation Votes Mean?, Daniel Rubinfeld, Paul N. Courant, Edward M. Gramlich

Law Quadrangle (formerly Law Quad Notes)

In response to the tax limitation movement which received national attention with the passage of California's Proposition 13 and which gave rise to a slate of tax limitation referends on the Michigan ballot in 1978, we began a theoretical and empirical study of the relationship between the size of state and local governing units and issues in public finance.
