The Truth About Truth in Sentencing: Tennessee’s Experience
David L. Raybin addresses the history of our criminal laws and arrives at the current legislation which rejects rehabilitation as a sentencing option, and advocates a more rational method of amending our criminal laws in "The Truth About Truth in Sentencing."
When a Revocable Trust is Not Revocable
“Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrariwise, what it is, it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” – Alice in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
“Ya think that it is, it is; if not, it isn’t.” – Run-DMC, “Down With the King”
With help from Alice and Run-DMC, Eddy Smith untangles the situations in which a revocable trust is actually not revocable.
