A Testamentary Gift of a Felony: Avoiding Criminal Penalties From Estate Firearms

[sorrowmonkey]

So, the Quinnipiac Probate Law Journal has offerred to publish my student note next year. Titled A Testamentary Gift of a Felony: Avoiding Criminal Penalties From Estate Firearms, it goes over how federal and state law interacts in the context of testate and intestate transfers.

I've spent the entire year bleeding over the 53 pages. Apparently that has paid off in an offer of publication (contingent on another year of rewriting) and full membership in the journal. Shortly, we will find out who are going to be the editors in next year's volume. I'll admit, I am hopeful that I, and the other folks I think are responsible, will get the important positions.


The journal work has definitely killed me all year, but I guess this is the payoff now. Next year will still be a pile of work, but it is a huge difference between being a candidate and a member. Also, next year I'm only taking classes I really care about, and I'm not going to take classes that make for an icky schedule. It's just not worth it.

Congratulations! That's great news! P.S. I'd be interested in the "cliff notes version" as we are starting to do estates at my office. I don't think it applies to any of the ones we are working on yet, but will definately apply to one in my own family. Good job!
