| | "No Fault" Divorce Law | | | Many states have enacted no fault divorce laws, pursuant to which residents can obtain a divorce without establishing that the other party did something wrong. Typically, the trial court is permitted to grant a divorce if it finds that the marriage relationship has broken down to the extent that the objects of matrimony have been destroyed and there is no reasonable likelihood that the marriage can be preserved. Depending upon state law, issues of "fault" may still be relevant to child custody and the division of property. |

On September 4, 2007, Washington, DC Mayor Adrian Fenty and DC Attorney General Linda Singer appealed the ruling of the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit invalidating DC's handgun ban to the US Supreme Court. The court had found that the city's 30-year-old ban on private possession of handguns was unconstitutionally broad. The Supreme Court ruled against DC in the case, District of Columbia v. Heller, finding that the Second Amendment guarantees the right to private gun ownership. Learn more about the Second Amendment from Cornell University's Legal Information Institute.
On September 3, 2008, a Farmers Branch municipal ordinance prohibiting illegal immigrants from renting property was challenged in the US District Court for the Northern District of Texas. The plaintiffs argued it is unconstitutional because it violated the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution by regulating immigration and denying immigrants equal protection and due process rights. The lawsuit was successful, resulting in a permanent injunction against the law issued in March 2010. The city of Fremont, Nebraska passed a nearly identical housing scheme in July 2010, resulting in ongoing litigation. Learn more about US immigration law from the JURIST news archive.
