Carrying Capacity: Should Georgia Enact Surrogacy Regulation?, Madeline Mae Neel
Georgia Law Review
While modern gestational surrogacy technology has existed for almost forty years, surrogacy is viewed as a matter of state law because the United States has yet to regulate it at the federal level. Many have advocated for either federal legislation or their own individual states to enact legislation addressing surrogacy, but Georgia is one of many states that still lacks any laws regulating—or even mentioning—surrogacy agreements. To make the process more uncertain for couples contemplating surrogacy, Georgia also lacks any case law that could provide parties to surrogacy agreements with guidance on how to proceed or how any dispute may …

Our City has a serious vacant property challenge. To effectively address vacancy, we must understand and respond to the factors that cause and perpetuate it. Much of the story of vacancy in our city, like other cities, includes a legacy of racism, disinvestment, and disengagement that has led to a breakdown in trust. We know that vacancy can result from incomplete foreclosure, bankruptcy, prolonged probate or lack of proper probate, investors with little incentive to care, judgment proof owners, bank ownership, lack of resources to repair or redevelop, lack of value, the foreclosure crisis, sprawl and weak markets.1 In …

Waiving Federal Sovereign Immunity In Original Actions Between States, Sandra B. Zellmer
Faculty Law Review Articles
There are tremendous disparities between high stakes original actions between states before the US. Supreme Court, where there is no waiver of federal sovereign immunity, and other types of cases in the lower courts, where a plethora of immunity waivers allow states and other parties to seek relief from the federal government for Fifth Amendment takings, unlawful agency action, and tort claims. Federal actions or omissions are often at the heart of the dispute, and federal involvement may be crucial for purposes of providing an equitable remedy to the state parties, but there is no reliable mechanism for bringing the …

A State Is A 'They' Not An 'It': Intrastate Conflicts In Multistate Challenges To The Affordable Care Act, A. C. Johnstone
Faculty Law Review Articles
This article explores how multistate litigation over the Affordable Care Act (ACA) reveals the pluralistic nature of state governance, challenging the conventional view of states as unitary actors. It analyzes conflicts among attorneys general, governors, and legislatures in shaping state positions on federal policy, highlighting the interplay of federalism, separation of powers, and partisan dynamics. Through landmark cases such as NFIB v. Sebelius, King v. Burwell, and Texas v. United States, the article demonstrates how state officials mobilize along national party lines while maintaining structural independence under state constitutions. These intrastate divisions complicate judicial assumptions about accountability …

Many passages are simplified, including the calculation of compensation for a trustee, which can now be modified through different procedures. Finally, the Act codifies the role of trust directors.
