Destabilized Property
This book studies the rise of access over ownership and the sharing economy's challenges to the liberal vision of property.
Religiously Inspired Gender-Bias Disinheritance - What's Law Got to Do with It?
There are several religious groups that order a specific distribution of the estate, which includes disinheritance of daughters in favor of sons. A testator's choice to follow this rule presents a fascinating intersection of conflicting values, world-views, and belief systems. In this Article, I examine the legal treatment of such bequests, and present different solutions from different inheritance law systems. I review three types of systems, Continental law of forced heirship, family provision jurisdictions, and testamentary freedom systems. I claim that deciding these cases is ultimately connected to a legal system's perception of inheritance. In several systems this function includes recognizing a child's interest in belonging to the family. If we understand inheritance as communicating a message regarding a child's belongingness to her family, then gender bias disinheritance should be reviewed with caution. In testamentary freedom systems, the question seems to be quite simple as such a distribution is well within the testator's prerogative. However, I suggest a more intricate analysis based on the doctrine of public policy.
The Informal Property Rights of Boomerang Children in the Home
Adult children living with their parents represent an increasingly common social phenomenon in the Unites States that challenges the boundaries of both the family and formal property rights. What is the legal status of adult children living with their parents? Do parents have any additional duties when they rescind permission for their child to live with them? Property and family scholars have not addressed this important issue. This article fills the void. Instead of treating people who live together as strangers, owing no legal obligations to one another, I argue that under certain conditions living with others creates a property community in the home. I call this community "home sharing"....
Transnational Fiduciary Law
This book assesses the conceptualization and legal response to the social problem of abuse of fiduciary authority in transnational context.
Slices and Lumps
How things are divided up or pieced together matters. Half a bridge is of no use at all. Conversely, many things would do more good if they could be divided up differently: Perhaps you would prefer a job that involves a third less work and a third less pay or a car that materializes only when needed and is priced accordingly? Difficulties in “slicing” and “lumping” shape nearly every facet of how we live and work—and a great deal of law and policy as well. Lee Anne Fennell explores how both types of challenges—carving out useful slices and assembling useful lumps—surface in myriad contexts, from hot button issues like conservation and eminent domain to developments in the shari...

Property and Human Flourishing
Many people assume that what morally justifies private ownership of property is either individual freedom or social welfare, defined in terms of maximizing personal preference-satisfaction. This book offers an alternative way of understanding the moral underpinning of private ownership of property. Rather than identifying any single moral value, this book argues that human flourishing, understood as morally pluralistic and objective, is property's moral foundation. The book goes on to develop a theory that connects ownership and human flourishing with obligations. Owners have obligations to members of the communities that enabled the owners to live flourishing lives by cultivating in their c...

This handbook offers a comprehensive, international overview of how institutions, countries, and legal systems are responding to the technological disruption of the work world.
