Best of the Blogs
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Source: Marquette University Law School Faculty Blog
The first item that caught my eye this week was a little blog our student Priya Barnes is writing as she visits Germany, attending the Summer Session in Giessen, Germany, that Professor Fallone blogged about on Monday. So far, she’s only offered one entry, about her travels, but I intend to watch for more….
Mark Tushnet (who gave a terrific presentation at Marquette last week, co-sponsored by the student American Constitution Society organization and the local lawyer’s chapter of ACS) raises some interesting questions Republican-sponsored legislation that would require congressional review of proposed “major regulations.” The idea is that agency rules would be transformed into agency proposals, to be okayed by Congress. For “non-major” proposals, Congressional silence would equal assent, while majority votes of both chambers would be required for adoption of new “major regulations.”
His first post questioned how this scheme could be reconciled with Chadha, but his second one noted that the statute would have the effect of repealing all agency authority to adopt major rules, converting it to authority to convert rules into proposals. He suggests there may remain a constitutional problem, because even if...

Thursday, July 29th, 2010Source: Law.com - Newswire A Philadelphia judge has refused to strike down amendments to the federal Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act that require photographers and filmmakers -- professional or amateur -- to keep records verifying the age and identity of anyone depicted in a sexually explicit film or photo.

Benefits of Collaborative Divorce
Thursday, July 29th, 2010Source: Lawyers.com Blog
In a traditional divorce, the litigation process is adversary and, often, hostile. Lawyers often strive to win everything that they can for their clients. One benefit of a collaborative divorce is that the parties agree to be civil, which often times can eliminate the need for overly aggressive litigation strategies. Because there is less fighting, less damage is done to the parties and, most importantly, their children.
Another benefit of collaborative divorce is that it is often quicker than a traditional divorce. Traditional court centered divorce proceedings are generally long and drawn-out. If handled incorrectly, this process can become exhaustive emotionally and financially.
Learn more about the benefits of collaborative divorce by contacting Orange County based divorce attorney Brian A. Bayati of Bayati Law Group.
