Building A Commercial Practice, Stephen B. Cohen Jan 1988

Building A Commercial Practice, Stephen B. Cohen

Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

Commercial real estate law practice includes but is not limited to everything from new construction to complex exchanges, from strip shopping centers with a few stores to modern regional shopping centers, from the small two or three unit office building to the large downtown and suburban office/residential condo developments, and the sale of any type of business property. While it appears there is room for thousands of attorneys to handle the major transactions described above, this is generally not the case. It is well known that the commercial real estate bar in most large metropolitan areas is a rather select …

Some Aspects Of Householding In The Medieval Icelandic Commonwealth, William I. Miller Jan 1988

Some Aspects Of Householding In The Medieval Icelandic Commonwealth, William I. Miller

Articles

There has been much, mostly inconclusive, discussion about how to define the household in a manner suitable for comparative purposes. Certain conventional criteria are not very useful in the Icelandic context, where it appears that a person could be attached to more than one household, where the laws suggest it was possible for more than one household to be resident in the same uncompartmentalised farmhouse; and where headship might often be shared. Definitions, for example, based on co residence or on commensalism do not jibe all that well with the pastoral transhumance practised by the Icelanders. Sheep were tended and …

For Unifying Servitudes And Defeasible Fees: Property Law's Functional Equivalents, Gerald Korngold Jan 1988

For Unifying Servitudes And Defeasible Fees: Property Law's Functional Equivalents, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

While property scholars have argued persuasively for a unified law of servitudes and for a unified law of defeasible fees, Professor Korngold argues that further unification is necessary: the law should integrate servitudes and defeasible fees involving land use controls. Because these interests are functional equivalents, judicial results should not depend on the historical label attached to the interest. Courts should address the tension between freedom of contract and free alienability values that inhere in both interests. Professor Korngold focuses on significant issues that arise in both defeasible fees and servitudes contexts, including the forfeiture remedy, ownership in gross, permissible …


Washington's New Quasi-Community Property Act: Protecting The Immigrant Spouse, Thomas R. Andrews Jan 1988

Washington's New Quasi-Community Property Act: Protecting The Immigrant Spouse, Thomas R. Andrews

Articles

In 1986, Washington followed the lead of several other community property jurisdictions by adopting quasi-community property legislation. The act is designed to prevent a spouse who has onerously acquired property during marriage while the couple resided in a common law state from disinheriting his or her surviving spouse as to that property after moving to Washington. It has significant implications not only for married couples contemplating a move to Washington, but also for those who have moved to Washington from common law jurisdictions in the past. This article explains why the risk of disinheritance arises, describes the provisions of Washington's …


Foresight And The Law Of Servitudes, Stewart E. Sterk Jan 1988

Foresight And The Law Of Servitudes, Stewart E. Sterk

Articles

The article explores the debate over party autonomy in the law of servitudes, particularly focusing on the role of foresight and transaction costs. It argues that while freedom of contract is a foundational principle, the limitations of human foresight and the potential for high transaction costs justify limited judicial intervention to modify or terminate servitudes when circumstances change. The author critiques Professor Epstein's argument that perfect foresight would obviate the need for intervention, emphasizing that real-world contracting parties often fail to anticipate future changes adequately. The article ultimately advocates for a balanced approach that enforces servitudes but allows for judicial …
