GHOSTING IN TAX LAW: SUNSET PROVISIONS AND THEIR UNFAITHFULNESS |
46 Hastings Constitutional Law Quarterly 479 (Winter, 2019) |
Sunset provisions, a special type of legislation with a built-in expiration date, were once heralded as a cure to the ills of inefficient government, a legislative device capable of eliminating obsolete and antiquated statutes, and of keeping stodgy regulatory bureaucracies efficient and effective. However, what was once a weapon for good... |

HOUSING SUPPLY AND THE COMMON WEALTH |
53 University of Richmond Law Review 1031 (March, 2019) |
It's a powerful thing to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, something that actually happened and has actually had an effect. I grew up in segregated Virginia, so I have a pretty powerful sense of the passage of time here. It's given us the opportunity today to review and mark human progress, to take stock of where we are... |

LOW INCOME HOUSING TAX CREDITS AND THE DANGERS OF PRIVATIZATION |
16 Pittsburgh Tax Review 247 (Spring, 2019) |
Current federal affordable housing policy is ineffective because it is being used as a business platform to attract economic development instead of improving the quality of affordable housing. The low-income housing tax credit program (LIHTC or the Credit) is the largest national low-income affordable housing program. The federal government enacted... |

MEASURING THE EFFECT OF SOCIAL BACKGROUND ON JUDICIAL DECISION-MAKING IN TAX CASES |
22 Florida Tax Review 579 (2019) |
Judicial decision-making is an important part of the law-making process. The positive research of judicial decision-making is expanding, and its normative significance is undeniable. Even so, judicial decision-making in tax cases has not yet received much empirical attention. This study contributes to the existing literature, empirically evaluating... |

PAVING A PATH BETWEEN THE CAMPUS AND THE CHAPEL: A REVISED SECTION 501(C)(3) STANDARD FOR DETERMINING TAX EXEMPTIONS |
69 Emory Law Journal 321 (2019) |
Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code grants an exemption from federal income taxes to organizations that are formed for religious purposes. While religious tax exemptions are a deep-rooted principle long embodied in U.S. tax law, issues can arise when a tax-exempt institution engages in discrimination which conflicts with national public... |

REFORMING INSTITUTIONS: THE JUDICIAL FUNCTION IN BANKRUPTCY AND PUBLIC LAW LITIGATION |
94 Indiana Law Journal 545 (Spring, 2019) |
Public law litigation (PLL) is among the most important and controversial types of dispute that courts face. These civil class actions seek to reform public agencies such as police departments, prison systems, and child welfare agencies that have failed to meet basic statutory or constitutional obligations. They are controversial because critics... |

SCHOOL CHOICES IN THE SUNFLOWER STATE: THE KANSAS TAX CREDIT SCHOLARSHIP FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS PROGRAM |
28-SPG Kansas Journal of Law & Public Policy 197 (Spring, 2019) |
In many of the nation's--and Kansas'--metropolitan areas, schools are unequal in terms of resources and student outcomes. Throughout the country's metropolitan areas, including those in Kansas City, Topeka, and Wichita, suburban school districts tend to be better resourced and student success rates excel compared to urban school districts. These... |

SEVEN STEPS TO TRULY REFORM THE TAX CODE AND ENGENDER SOCIO-ECONOMIC MOBILITY |
82 Albany Law Review 601 (2018-2019) |
The election of President Trump was a backlash against the socio-economic immobility felt by the vast majority of Americans that a true tax reform would have addressed. His recently enacted tax reform, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, was described by conservatives as a needed tax reform that will spur economic growth. The problem for the U.S.... |

SHOULD THE IRS KNOW YOUR RACE? THE CHALLENGE OF COLORBLIND TAX DATA |
73 Tax Law Review 1 (Fall, 2019) |
In 2003, conservative activists successfully placed Proposition 54, also known as the Racial Privacy Initiative, on the statewide ballot in California. This constitutional amendment would have prohibited state and local government from asking Californians to report their race or ethnicity on government forms. The American Civil Liberties Union... |

STUDENT LOANS AND BANKRUPTCY |
55-AUG Tennessee Bar Journal 17 (August, 2019) |
Student loans weigh heavy on many. Borrowers owe nearly $30,000 on average, and Americans collectively owe $1.5 trillion in student loan debt. For some borrowers, bankruptcy may offer relief. But for most in Tennessee, bankruptcy is currently not a viable option to help borrowers rid themselves of burdensome student loan debt. The most common... |

The tax system both reacts to and helps create attitudes about the value of certain behaviors and choices. This Article makes three principal claims--one empirical, one normative, and one interpretative. The Article demonstrates through data that a representative sample of fertility clinics in the United States does not make information about the... |

TAX: DIFFERENT, NOT EXCEPTIONAL |
71 Administrative Law Review 663 (Fall, 2019) |
Tax law is law unto itself. Tax is different from other fields of law, just as any field of law is different from others. But tax scholarship, judicial opinions in tax litigation, and public attitudes toward taxation have long claimed more than difference in doctrinal details. They have claimed that tax is different in kind from other fields of... |

Robots and other artificial intelligence-based technologies are increasingly outperforming humans in jobs previously thought safe from automation. This has led to growing concerns about the future of jobs, wages, economic equality, and government revenues. To address these issues, there have been multiple calls around the world to tax the robots.... |

TEMPERING BANKRUPTCY NONDISCHARGEABILITY TO PROMOTE THE PURPOSES OF STUDENT LOANS |
72 SMU Law Review 725 (Fall, 2019) |
Student loans, unlike other debts, are not dischargeable in bankruptcy unless the debtor starts a special proceeding and proves that repayment would cause undue hardship. This requirement probably accounts for the fact that only a tiny fraction of bankrupt debtors succeed in discharging their student loans. This article is the first to make the... |

THE CRITICAL TAX PROJECT, FEMINIST THEORY, AND REWRITING JUDICIAL OPINIONS |
16 Pittsburgh Tax Review 115 (Spring, 2019) |
In most social settings, disclosing that one is a tax professor usually stops conversation--and not in a good way. People tend to smile politely; they might inquire about a recent change to the tax law, complain that tax day is approaching, or ask for some free tax advice. Then the conversation topic tends to switch relatively quickly. This is... |

THE DEATH AND LIFE OF THE STATE AND LOCAL TAX DEDUCTION |
72 Tax Law Review 151 (Spring, 2019) |
More than a century and a half after its birth, the federal income tax deduction for nonbusiness state and local taxes has shrunk to a shadow of its former self. While a series of legislative enactments over the past several decades had already chipped away at the deduction's scope, the 2017 Act struck the biggest blow to the deduction yet. For the... |

2019 Wisconsin Law Review 745 (2019) |
Place-based investment tax incentives, which encourage taxpayers to invest in poor areas, constitute a particularly controversial, yet undertheorized, category of tax laws. The central problem presented by current place-based investment tax incentives is a contradiction between rhetoric and reality. They are presented as laws that benefit... |

Thirty-five states impose a sales tax on menstrual hygiene products, while products like spermicidal condoms and erectile dysfunction medications are tax-free.

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS: THE TRIAL TAX AND THE PROCESS OF PUNISHMENT |
48 Crime and Justice 313 (2019) |
The jury trial has long been a keystone of the American criminal justice system. Few defendants exercise their right to trial, however, and those who do tend to receive significantly harsher punishments if convicted. This phenomenon, known as a trial tax or, conversely, as a guilty plea discount, is one of the most profound and consistent findings... |

"OUR TAXES ARE TOO DAMN HIGH": INSTITUTIONAL RACISM, PROPERTY TAX ASSESSMENTS, AND THE FAIR HOUSING ACT |

To prevent inflated property tax bills, the Michigan Constitution prohibits property tax assessments from exceeding 50% of a property's market value.
