Preliminary Injunctions: In Defense Of The Merits, John Leubsdorf Jan 2007

Preliminary Injunctions: In Defense Of The Merits, John Leubsdorf

Fordham Law Review

A recent article by Richard Brooks and Warren Schwartz contends that the goal of preliminary injunctions should be to promote efficient conduct during a lawsuit. It would do this by granting injunctions to all plaintiffs who post a bond covering the defendant's damages provided that the plaintiff has some claim on the merits. This reply defends the more traditional approach theorized in a past article by this author and in an opinion of Judge Richard Posner. Under that approach, courts should continue to consider the merits of the plaintiff's claim and the irreparable injury to the parties' rights that an …


The Lethal Injection Quandary: How Medicine Has Dismantled The Death Penalty, Deborah W. Denno Jan 2007

The Lethal Injection Quandary: How Medicine Has Dismantled The Death Penalty, Deborah W. Denno

Fordham Law Review

On February 20, 2006, Michael Morales was hours away from execution in California when two anesthesiologists declined to participate in his lethal injection procedure, thereby halting all state executions. The events brought to the surface the long-running schism between law and medicine, raising the question of whether any beneficial connection between the professions ever existed in the execution context. History shows it seldom did. Decades of botched executions prove it. This Article examines how states ended up with such constitutionally vulnerable lethal injection procedures, suggesting that physician participation in executions, though looked upon with disdain, is more prevalent--and perhaps more …


The Criminalization Of Treating End Of Life Patients With Risky Pain Medication And The Role Of The Extreme Emergency Situation, Gina Castellano Jan 2007

The Criminalization Of Treating End Of Life Patients With Risky Pain Medication And The Role Of The Extreme Emergency Situation, Gina Castellano

Fordham Law Review

This Note examines the legality of physicians treating patients near the end of life with risky pain medication, specifically during an extreme emergency situation. The issues discussed include whether such treatment should be criminalized and, if criminalized, what standard should be used to determine culpability. This Note proposes that physicians should not be shielded from the criminal justice system, but that the standard of double effect intent should be expressly adopted in the adjudication of such cases.


Corporate Salvation Or Damnation? Proposed New Federal Legislation On Selective Waiver, Liesa L. Richter Jan 2007

Corporate Salvation Or Damnation? Proposed New Federal Legislation On Selective Waiver, Liesa L. Richter

Fordham Law Review

Recently, critics have attacked federal law enforcement policies that encourage corporate targets to disclose sensitive information protected by the corporate attorney-client privilege and work-product doctrine, arguing that the policies are coercive, fundamentally unfair, and destined to chill the free flow of information to corporate counsel. The most readily apparent collateral consequence of these policies, however, has been corporations' loss of privilege protection in subsequent litigation. Good corporate citizens that have chosen to cooperate with the government in this manner have been punished with broad findings of waiver and the dissemination of protected information to companies' civil adversaries. To protect companies …


Aids, Employment, And The Direct Threat Defense: The Burden Of Proof And The Circuit Court Split, Sarah R. Christie Jan 2007

Aids, Employment, And The Direct Threat Defense: The Burden Of Proof And The Circuit Court Split, Sarah R. Christie

Fordham Law Review

This Note examines disability-related discrimination in light of the protections afforded by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and in the context of an HIV- or AIDS-infected employee. Under the ADA, an employer may legally fire a worker who poses a direct threat to the individuals around him or her. It is unclear, however, whether the burden of proving or disproving the claim that an individual is a direct threat lies with the employer or the employee. This Note analyzes the circuit split over which party bears the burden of proof under the direct threat standard in light of prospective …


To Attach Or Not To Attach: The Continued Confusion Regarding Search Warrants And The Incorporation Of Supporting Documents, Michael Longyear Jan 2007

To Attach Or Not To Attach: The Continued Confusion Regarding Search Warrants And The Incorporation Of Supporting Documents, Michael Longyear

Fordham Law Review

The Fourth Amendment mandates that a search warrant particularly describe what is to be searched or seized. Courts have allowed officers to use supporting documentation, such as affidavits and other attachments, to define, but not expand, the limits of a search. However, the use of these supporting documents creates a problem when the document is referenced in the warrant but is not physically attached to the warrant. This Note argues that the protection of the Fourth Amendment is not the warrant itself, but the guarantee that a warrant, fully detailing the search to be undertaken, has been approved by a …


Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus Jan 2007

Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus

Fordham Law Review

After Internal Revenue Service investigations exposed widespread fraud among tax shelter promoters, angry investors sued for securities fraud under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, which provides a cause of action against “primary violators” of the Rule but not against mere “aiders and abettors.” This controversial distinction is further complicated by the recent introduction of “scheme liability” lawsuits under two previously obscure provisions of Rule 10b-5. This Note examines the circuit split over the “primary violator”/“aider and abettor” distinction in scheme liability claims, arguing that the circuits' conflicting concepts of scheme liability actually cover similar conduct, and that tax shelter …
