IU McKinney Professor, Alumnae Have Lead Article in Ohio Law Review
04/07/2015
IU McKinney Professor Margaret Ryznar, Angelique Devaux, LL.M. ’12, and DeAnna R. Beckner, ’14, have the lead article in the Ohio Northern University Law Review.
Titled “The Trust as More than a Common Law Creature,” the article will be published in the upcoming issue.
The article examines the introduction of trust-like devices into civil law countries. This is currently at play in Europe, where nations that have been traditionally skeptical of common law items like trusts now much determine how to implement them because of the European Union’s new regulation that requires the harmonization of succession laws.
Professor Ryznar teaches family law; international and comparative family law; juvenile law; income taxation of individuals, fiduciaries and business associations; and trusts and estates. In addition to contributing to the Huffington Post, she edits the Family Law Prof Blog.
