Over at Wills, Trusts, and Estates prof blog, Gerry Beyer has the details about a forthcoming volume on Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Trusts and Estates Opinions.
The editors are Deborah Gordon, Browne C. Lewis and Carla Spivack. The opinions they're rewriting (and discussing) are:
In re Strittmater's Estate, 53 A.2d 205 (N.J. 1947) (insane delusion)
In re Will of Moses, 227 So. 2d at 831 (Miss. 1969) (undue influence)
Estate of Wilson, 452 N.E.2d 1228 (N.Y. 1983) (charitable trust)
Cruzan v. Missouri Dep’t of Health, 497 U.S. 261 (1990)
Metro. Life Ins. Co. v. Fogle, 419 S.E.2d 825, 826 (S.C. Ct. App. 1992) (slayer)
O'Neal v. Wilkes, 439 S.E.2d 490 (Ga. 1994) (equitable adoption)
Via v. Putnam, 656 So. 2d 460 (Fla. 1995) (pretermitted spouses, mutual wills, and dower)
Estate of Myers, 594 N.W.2d 563 (Neb. 1999) (elective share and inter vivos trust)
Egelhof v. Egelhof, 532 U.S. 141 (2001) (ERISA preemption)
Drevenik v. Nardone, 862 A.2d 635 (Super. Ct. Pa. 2004) (spendthrift trust and child support)
Reece v. Elliot, 208 S.W.3d 419, 423 (Tenn. Ct. App. 2006) (antenuptial agreement)
Khabbaz v. Comm’r Soc. Sec. Admin., 930 A2d 1180 (N.H.2007) (reproductive technology)
Karsenty v. Schoukroun, 959 A.2d 1147 (Md. 2008) (elective share)
All super interesting cases. But what about Hinds v. Brazealle?! Or, Dees v. Metts for that matter (though maybe the majority doesn't need as much rewriting)!
