California's Flexible Purpose Corporation: A Step Forward, A Step Back, Or No Step At All?, Christen Clarke

The Journal of Business, Entrepreneurship & the Law

The roads of social welfare and commercial enterprise have come to an intersection in recent years. Laws governing corporations are expanding to make room for new forms of business entities that seek to satisfy both social and financial goals. The two most prominent “hybrid” business forms are the Low-Profit Limited Liability Company and the Benefit Corporation. The newest hybrid entity to take effect is the Flexible Purpose Corporation, which was introduced in California at the beginning of 2012. With the existence of hybrid organizations that already fit into the mold of Corporations and Limited Liability Companies, is there really a …

Parental Consent And Notification Laws In The Abortion Context: Rejecting The "Maturity" Standard In Judicial Bypass Proceedings, Anna Bonny Aug 2006

Parental Consent And Notification Laws In The Abortion Context: Rejecting The "Maturity" Standard In Judicial Bypass Proceedings, Anna Bonny

ExpressO

The choice to become a parent, to give a baby up for adoption, or to terminate a pregnancy presents a life-altering decision for a minor. The majority of states require minors to engage their parents or legal guardians in their choice to obtain an abortion, but not in decisions to give their babies up for adoption or to become parents. Though the Supreme Court has held that parental consent and notification laws do not infringe on a minor's constitutional rights if judicial bypass options are available, the reality of these judicial proceedings demonstrates a biased and unworkable legal avenue. Even …

Decoupling Tax Exemption For Charitable Organizations, Charles A. Borek Jan 2004

Decoupling Tax Exemption For Charitable Organizations, Charles A. Borek

William Mitchell Law Review

[T]his article proposes a new approach to defining the term “charitable” for tax purposes that both respects the essence of tax-exempt eleemosynary activity and injects an element of clarity that has eluded the use of the term in modern tax parlance. Part I traces the evolution of the legal concept of charity, with emphasis on the shift in focus from poverty relief to social action facilitated through the device of trust law. I argue that it is in this shift of emphasis that the concept of charity became entangled in property concepts and thereby transformed into something wholly unrelated to …


Book Reviews, Edson R. Sunderland, Edwin D. Dickinson Dec 1919

Book Reviews, Edson R. Sunderland, Edwin D. Dickinson

Michigan Law Review

Unless lawyers are an unimaginative and hopelessly backward-looking social group, as some unkind critics have asserted, they will find this book one of he most suggestive and stimulating contributions to legal literature that has appeared in recent years. It touches in a broad way the whole field of the relation of legal institutions and the legal profession to the major problems of society. It demonstr4tes in a most striking manner how those who plan and administer the machinery of the law must awake to the fact that they form the front line of civilization's defense against anarchy. And it presents …
