Courts could dismiss cases for one... |

THE RISE AND DECLINE OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY POWERS |
34 Campbell Law Review 525 (Symposium 2012) |

"HOT NEWS": THE ENDURING MYTH OF PROPERTY IN NEWS |
111 Columbia Law Review 419 (April, 2011) |
The hot news doctrine refers to a cause of action for the misappropriation of time-sensitive factual information that state laws afford purveyors of news against free riding by a direct competitor. Entirely the offshoot of the Supreme Court's decision in International News Service v. Associated Press, the doctrine enables an information gatherer... |

AFFORDABLE HOUSING AS INFRASTRUCTURE IN THE TIME OF GLOBAL WARMING |
42/43 Urban Lawyer 179 (Fall, 2010/Winter, 2011) |
Remedying the absence of an adequate supply of affordable housing has been a target of comprehensive planning for nearly two generations. Despite a number of jurisdictions making that goal a mandatory component of local planning, attempts to achieve it have proven Pyrrhic. During the current period of economic recession and real estate distress,... |

COMMUNITY PROPERTY V. THE ELECTIVE SHARE |
72 Louisiana Law Review 161 (Fall, 2011) |
There is certainly no doubt that community property has its faults. But, as with any flawed thing, one must look at it in comparison with the alternatives: separate property and its companion, the elective share. This Article argues that the elective share is so flawed that it should be jettisoned in favor of community property. The elective share... |

FAIRNESS IN DISPARITY: CHALLENGING THE APPLICATION OF DISPARATE IMPACT THEORY IN FAIR HOUSING CLAIMS AGAINST INSURERS |
21 George Mason University Civil Rights Law Journal 159 (Spring 2011) |
Risk discrimination is not race discrimination . . ., but is a higher [premium] for fire insurance in an inner city neighborhood attributable to risks of arson or to racial animus? Similarly, given the marked disparity between the credit scores of minorities and whites, does a facially race-neutral practice like credit-based insurance scoring... |

FINDING HOME IN THE WORLD: A DEONTOLOGICAL THEORY OF THE RIGHT TO BE ADOPTED |
55 New York Law School Law Review 701 (2010/2011) |
The family is a political institution, and it is so in two complementary ways. First, the family is political in the sense that it is usually on families that the development of the individual's mature capacities for political engagement first hinge. But the family is also political because political choices--whether in the form of legislative or... |

GOVERNMENT PROPERTY AND GOVERNMENT SPEECH |
52 William and Mary Law Review 1413 (April, 2011) |
The relationship between property and speech is close, but complicated. Speakers use places and things to deliver their messages, and rely on property rights both to protect expressive acts and to serve as an independent means of expression. And yet courts and scholars have struggled to make sense of the property-speech connection. Is property... |

The transfer of people with disablities from state institutions to residential housing is one of the great migrations in recent history, but finding adequate housing is difficult.
