Paige Taylor REACTION TO: WEALTH, POVERTY, AND THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE 3 Georgetown Journal of Law & Modern Critical Race Perspectives 201 (Fall, 2011) While Modarres makes clear that the courts have failed to recognize wealth as a suspect classification, he has based his thesis on the convergence of race and poverty, which ha[s] made it a virtual impossibility to consider poverty in a race-neutral manner. Therefore, he argues mostly about racial dynamics rather than proving a factual basis to... 2011
Sarah Pei Woo REGULATORY BANKRUPTCY: HOW BANK REGULATION CAUSES FIRE SALES 99 Georgetown Law Journal 1615 (August, 2011) Bankruptcy policy has long been founded upon the assumption that creditors seek to maximize the value of their assets. The radical changes that have swept the banking sector over the last two decades, however, have rendered this assumption unreliable. Banks, which are responsible for the majority of the outstanding credit in the United States, are... 2011

Martha T. McCluskey TAXING THE FAMILY WORK: AID FOR AFFLUENT HUSBAND CARE 21 Columbia Journal of Gender and Law 109 (2011) The income of the classic breadwinner married to a homemaker receives a tax advantage under federal income tax law.

Angela Littwin THE AFFORDABILITY PARADOX: HOW CONSUMER BANKRUPTCY'S GREATEST WEAKNESS MAY ACCOUNT FOR ITS SURPRISING SUCCESS 52 William and Mary Law Review 1933 (May, 2011) When the 2005 Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) made consumer bankruptcy more expensive for all debtors, it inadvertently reignited a debate about how to make the system more affordable for its neediest beneficiaries.
