“The basis for the litigation has disappeared because of the modification for the statue,” said Rich Schragger, a law professor at University of Virginia.
Some legal scholars say the state’s case is uncertain. The lawsuit that led to the injunction cites the 1890 deed conveying the site to the state, which stipulates that the statue must be “affectionately” preserved.Other court cases have reached a variety of conclusions on such language, said Alex Johnson, a professor at the University of Virginia who specializes in real estate and race issues. “There is no prevailing legal norm that would say, ‘Oh yeah, this is a slam dunk,’” Johnson said. He added, though, that the issue could wind up moot if the state invokes eminent domain and simply seize...
“Cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), which helps patients understand the behavioral and thought patterns that lead to long-term troubles with falling or staying asleep, has been shown to be very effective in adult cancer survivors. However, it has not been widely tested in the AYA survivor group.
