Circular 230 Redux: Questions Of Validity And Compliance Strategies, Jonathan G. Blattmachr, Mitchell M. Gans, Diana S.C. Zeydel, Tracy L. Bentley
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
In this article, the authors revisit their prior article on Circular 230 (see Tax Notes, Apr. 4, 2005, p. 61), focusing in particular on the amendments Treasury adopted on May 18. They consider the meaning of an important, new safe harbor under which transactions that are consistent with the code and its purpose are subject to less rigorous standards. They go on to discuss strategies for making certain that the advice practitioners provide after June 20 will be in compliance with the circular. They also provide a decision tree that will enable practitioners to classify their written advice and thereby …

Mend It Or End It? An Opportunity To Reconsider The Death Penalty, Eric M. Freedman
Mend It Or End It? An Opportunity To Reconsider The Death Penalty, Eric M. Freedman
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
The revised edition of the ABA's "Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Defense Counsel in Death Penalty Cases" offers a lens through which to consider whether retention of capital punishment is sensible public policy.
A reader of the Guidelines finds that the current death penalty system is characterized by severely impaired clients, pervasive racism, a structural bias in favor of guilty verdicts, less effective counsel than in non-capital cases, and a dysfunctional system of post-conviction review.
No amount of money can solve these problems; at best, sufficient expenditures can ameliorate them. But making even that attempt will be costly …
Quadpartite Will: Decoupling And The Next Generation Of Instruments, Mitchell M. Gans, Jonathan G. Blattmachr
Quadpartite Will: Decoupling And The Next Generation Of Instruments, Mitchell M. Gans, Jonathan G. Blattmachr
Hofstra Law Faculty Scholarship
This article will explore some planning steps which may be considered for married individuals domiciled in a state having an exemption which is less than the federal exemption. This problem may "disappear" (or may be reduced) in 2011, when the changes to the Internal Revenue Code made by EGTRRA "sunset (i.e., at the time, pre-EGTRRA provisions become effective, resulting in the restoration of the state death tax and the reduction in the federal estate tax exemption to $1 million). In other words, in many cases, the problem attributable to the smaller state estate tax exemption relative to the federal exemption …
Accidental Clients, Susan R. Martyn
Accidental Clients, Susan R. Martyn
Hofstra Law Review
Most of the time, lawyers represent clients. But lawyers can be consulted and paid, but not serve as lawyers for clients, for example when they are sought out as friends, escrow agents, corporate officers or expert witnesses. The law governing lawyers recognizes the significance of the client-lawyer relationship by imposing fiduciary duties on lawyers who undertake a client representation. These duties, the "4 C's," include communication, competence, confidentiality, and conflict of interest resolution. A wide variety of legal remedies for breach of the 4 C's, including malpractice, fee forfeiture, disqualification, constructive trust, and professional discipline also belong primarily to clients. …

Faragher V. City Of Boca Raton: A Personal Account Of A Sexual Discrimination Plaintiff, Beth Ann Faragher
Faragher V. City Of Boca Raton: A Personal Account Of A Sexual Discrimination Plaintiff, Beth Ann Faragher
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Former Supreme Court plaintiff Beth Ann Faragher ruminates on the circumstances that led to the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton. For Ms. Faragher, the case was about much more than the monetary issue involved, specifically whether she should have been awarded $1.00 under Title VII. The case became, in her words, "a national issue of human dignity and civil rights."
Affirmative Action In The Workplace: Forty Years Later, Richard N. Appel, Alison L. Gray, Nilufer Loy
Affirmative Action In The Workplace: Forty Years Later, Richard N. Appel, Alison L. Gray, Nilufer Loy
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
The authors, in order to sift through the increasingly muddy waters of affirmative action, provide an overview of the development of permissible preferential treatment based on race, national origin, or gender in the forty years since Title VII was enacted. The article discusses the state of the law for affirmative action plans adopted by government contractors as well as those that are judicially imposed. The focus of the piece is on the voluntary race, national origin and gender-conscious plans in the private sector. The authors conclude that although in the forty years since Title VII was enacted the validity of …
The Limits Of Multiple Rights And Remedies: A Call For Revisiting The Law Of The Workplace, Ann C. Hodges
The Limits Of Multiple Rights And Remedies: A Call For Revisiting The Law Of The Workplace, Ann C. Hodges
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Professor Hodges discusses the 2004 decision of the National Labor Relations Board in IBM Corp., and how this decision illustrates two major problems with current workplace regulation. First, there are two distinct but overlapping systems - the individual and the collective - which often collide. The result is, at best, an imperfect realization of rights under both systems, and perhaps more often, the sacrifice of rights under one to right under the other. Second, the multitude of forums available for litigation results in multiple claims arising out of the same action, as well as tribunals deciding issues outside their expertise. …

Why The Eeoc (Still) Matters, Anne Noel Occhialino, Daniel Vail
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Co-authored by two attorneys in the Office of General Counsel at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, this article first traces the history of the EEOC, which shares the same birthday as Title VII, with a focus on the Commission's charge processing, investigation, conciliation and litigation practices against private employers. Next, the article describes the Commission's current charge-processing system and litigation practice. Finally, the authors explore the question of whether the EEOC still matters forty years after Title VII's enactment.

Price Waterhouse V. Hopkins: A Personal Account Of A Sexual Discrimination Plaintiff, Ann Hopkins
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Former Supreme Court plaintiff Ann Hopkins ruminates on the circumstances that led to the Supreme Court's landmark decision in Price Waterhouse v. Hopkins.

A fascinating account, she ends her piece by offering advice to those who seek to combat workplace discrimination.

Title Vii At Forty: A Brief Look At The Birth, Death, And Resurrection Of The Disparate Impact Theory Of Discrimination, Robert Belton
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Professor Belton discusses the story of the campaign that led to the Supreme Court's decision in Griggs v. Duke Power Co., a story in which he played a major role. His piece identifies the genesis of the disparate impact theory, discusses its subsequent dismantling, examines its revival in the Civil Rights Act of 1991, and comments upon its impact and future.
How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Cases): Gender Stereotypes And Sexual Harassment Since The Passage Of Title Vii, Miriam A. Cherry
How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying (Cases): Gender Stereotypes And Sexual Harassment Since The Passage Of Title Vii, Miriam A. Cherry
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This Article, which is part of a symposium on the 40th Anniversary of Title VII appearing in the Hofstra Labor and Employment Law Journal, evaluates the progress of women in the workforce by critically analyzing the musical "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying." Written in the early 1960s and made into a 1967 movie, How to Succeed follows the adventures of J. Pierrepont Finch, a window washer who, with the aid of a sarcastic self-help book, schemes his way up the corporate ladder. It also includes the sexual exploits of the exclusively male executive corps among the female …
Drawing The Line After Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. V. Nlrb: Strategies For Protecting Undocumented Workers In The Title Vii Context And Beyond, Christopher Ho, Jennifer C. Chang
Drawing The Line After Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. V. Nlrb: Strategies For Protecting Undocumented Workers In The Title Vii Context And Beyond, Christopher Ho, Jennifer C. Chang
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This article examines two ways in which the Supreme Court's 2002 opinion in Hoffman Plastic Compounds, Inc. v. National Labor Relations Board should be construed narrowly. First, Hoffman's analysis - grounded in the specific purposes of the NLRA and the limited competence of the NLRB to referee apparent conflicts with other laws - cannot be fungibly imported into other statutory schemes. Second, Hoffman does not give license to defense counsel to utilize intrusive and threatening discovery tactics as a means of coercing withdrawals of claims or dismissals of plaintiffs, inasmuch as it does not address how, or even whether, discovery …
Are We There Yet? Forty Years After The Passage Of The Civil Rights Act: Revolution In The Workforce And The Unfulfilled Promises That Remain, Thomas H. Barnard, Adrienne L. Rapp
Are We There Yet? Forty Years After The Passage Of The Civil Rights Act: Revolution In The Workforce And The Unfulfilled Promises That Remain, Thomas H. Barnard, Adrienne L. Rapp
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
This Article provides an overview of the evolutionary developments in employment law, placed in the context of Title VII jurisprudence, with an eye toward whether we have achieved the lofty goals embodied in that legislation. Statistics covering discrimination incidents and charges filed with the EEOC are examined to trace the impact that anti-discrimination efforts have had on employment opportunities in this country. Through anecdotal evidence of the employment discrimination faced by Americans in each decade, this piece assesses the legal and social changes promised by the Act. The changes resulting from the enforcement of Title VII prohibitions are examined by …

Making Title Vii Law And Policy: The Supreme Court's Sexual Harassment Jursiprudence, Ronald Turner
Making Title Vii Law And Policy: The Supreme Court's Sexual Harassment Jursiprudence, Ronald Turner
Hofstra Labor & Employment Law Journal
Professor Turner's article focuses on judicial lawmaking and policy-making in an important area of antidiscrimination law - the statutory prohibition of workplace sexual harassment found in Title VII. The article highlights the ways in which the Supreme Court's interpretation and application of Title VII's ban on sex discrimination are contrary to, and fly in the face of the judges-should-make-no-law axiom.
