Formal Recognition of Gay and Lesbian Relationships
February 27, 2008
According to the Human Rights Campaign, 26 states have adopted constitutional provisions limiting marriage to opposite-sex couples. Nineteen states have enacted similar statutory restrictions. Meanwhile, ten states and the District of Columbia have adopted varying levels of legal protection for same-sex couples and their children. While only one American jurisdiction allows same-sex couples to marry, at least five countries worldwide, including Canada, do so. Much is hazy in this legal landscape, but one thing is clear: In the short term, sister-state recognition of these relationships will be spotty at best, and will be fought out on a case-by-case basis.
Relocation Issues
February 27, 2008
In this day and age, when family units break apart and realign regularly, when employment is more transient than permanent, when transportation is affordable and global communication is instantaneous, relocating to another city or state, or even another country, is more common than ever. While the reasons for moving seem countless, a primary residential parent's ability to relocate with the children may be severally limited by the laws in his or her state.

'Atlantic Yards' Condemnation Upheld
February 27, 2008
The so-called 'Atlantic Yards' project in Brooklyn is a typical case of public/private partnership to develop an area that has long been the location of urban blight. The issue, from the standpoint of those who challenged the condemnation of their property for that project is that the property, which is the subject of the recent Second Circuit decision in Goldstein v. Pataki, for the most part is not considered blighted but is close or adjacent to blighted areas.
