Perpetuities: Three Essays in Honor of My Father

The Rule Against Perpetuities is afrequent source offrustration and puzzlement for property students, professors, and practitioners In this Article, the Author presents three essays; her method of analyzing perpetuities problems, a proposalf or refinement of the common law rule, and an examination of the possible benefits of dead hand control. Although the Author has followed in her father\u27s footsteps, becoming a property professor, some of her views on perpetuities diverge from his. Because scholarly discussion of perpetuities historically has taken the form of Article and Reply in various Law Reviews, Professor Robert L Fletcher\u27s response follows his daughter\u27s essays

Application of the Antilapse Statutes to Appointments Made by Will

Although litigation involving powers of appointment has been relatively infrequent, the increasing use of powers over the last few decades forebodes increasing litigation in this field. Anticipating this development, several states have enacted fairly comprehensive statutes which attempt to set forth in accessible form certain aspects of the common law of powers, make certain revisions in the common law, and replace outmoded statutes on powers. One area in which both the common law and the recent statutes are inadequate is in the application of antilapse statutes to appointments made by will. This article examines the development of the common law in this area and the modern statutory treatment of the application of antilapse statutes to testamentary appointments. The problems created by both are then analyzed, possible judicial solutions are explored, and finally a statutory solution is proposed

Cases and Text on Property 6th Ed.

Cases and Text on Property, Sixth Edition, preserves the character of its esteemed predecessors with: Introductory chapters that unveil the important historical perspective that infuses the book as the authors put contemporary property law in historical context; classic cases and absorbing text that match the high standard of quality established by the late Casner and Leach; problems that are seamlessly integrated with cases and notes; a broad scope of coverage that ranges from interests protected as property, to title transfers, landlord and tenant law, housing discrimination, and land-use regulation.https://digitalcommons.nyls.edu/fac_books/1039/thumbnail.jp

The Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment - A plan for integrated, large fire-atmosphere field campaigns

The Fire and Smoke Model Evaluation Experiment (FASMEE) is designed to collect integrated observations from large wildland fires and provide evaluation datasets for new models and operational systems. Wildland fire, smoke dispersion, and atmospheric chemistry models have become more sophisticated, and next-generation operational models will require evaluation datasets that are coordinated and comprehensive for their evaluation and advancement. Integrated measurements are required, including ground-based observations of fuels and fire behavior, estimates of fire-emitted heat and emissions fluxes, and observations of near-source micrometeorology, plume properties, smoke dispersion, and atmospheric chemistry. To address these requirements the FASMEE campaign design includes a study plan to guide the suite of required measurements in forested sites representative of many prescribed burning programs in the southeastern United States and increasingly common high-intensity fires in the western United States. Here we provide an overview of the proposed experiment and recommendations for key measurements. The FASMEE study provides a template for additional large-scale experimental campaigns to advance fire science and operational fire and smoke models
