The Successor Employer's Obligation To Bargain: Current Problems In The Presumption Of A Union's Majority Status, Peter Blasier
The Successor Employer's Obligation To Bargain: Current Problems In The Presumption Of A Union's Majority Status, Peter Blasier
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note examines federal labor policy as it relates to successor employers' duty to negotiate with the labor union of the previous employer. Specifically, this Note analyzes the impact that the successor employers' right to refuse to negotiate if it has a "good faith doubt" that the union retains its majority status has on employee's freedom of choice. Finally, it examines national labor policy and concludes that the policy of the National Labor Relations Board unduly "sacrifices the determination of actual employee free choice."
Warrantless Container Searches Under The Automobile And Search Incident Exceptions, Jody Cosgrove
Warrantless Container Searches Under The Automobile And Search Incident Exceptions, Jody Cosgrove
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Warrantless searches of containers had historically been sustained under the exceptions to the fourth amendment protections developed for cases where exigent circumstances require immediate action. The Supreme Court of the United States then limited warantless container searches in United States v. Chadwick and Arkansas v. Sanders but these limitations were subject to various interpretations by the lower courts. This Note examines the various interpretations of these conflicts and their areas of conflict. It then argues for a strict interpretation of the Supreme Court limitations which is more consistent with the traditional exceptions to the fourth amendment's protections against unreasonable searches …

Local Finance: A Brief Constitutional History, Robert W. Cockren, Maria L. Vecchiotti, Donna M. Zerbo
Local Finance: A Brief Constitutional History, Robert W. Cockren, Maria L. Vecchiotti, Donna M. Zerbo
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Comment traces the constitutional history of local finance from the seventeeth century through the present. The authors conclude that the New York City Bar Association Committee on Municipal Affairs' report places the New York State Legislature at a crossroad in its history of dealing with local finances, and the well travelled path of patchwork amendment and politically expedient compromise is unacceptable for the future in light of New York City's recent fiscal problems. However, the authors recognize that the alternative may be politically dangerous to members of the legislature hiding from the challenge and may jeopardize the fiscal stability …
The Legalization And Control Of Casino Gambling, Nelson Rose
The Legalization And Control Of Casino Gambling, Nelson Rose
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article seeks to demonstrate that the spread of legalized gambling is inevitable as states recognize the immense revenue generating capabilities of casinos. However, in order to realize these revenues and take advantage of them, without incurring the potential negative social side affects, states must control and regulate casinos. Thus, this article examines, through their theoretical structure and practical realities, the four different methods for legalized casino gambling regulation: (1) Nevada's free enterprise model; (2) New Jersey's and Puerto Rico's tourist area revitalization model; (3) England's strict social control model; and (4) the model of complete or partial state ownership.

Criminal Discovery In New York: The Effect Of The New Article 240 , Thomas N. Kendris
Criminal Discovery In New York: The Effect Of The New Article 240 , Thomas N. Kendris
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Despite the many persuasive reasons for criminal discovery, its development in New York took place in a gradual, ad hoc manner. This led the New York State Legislature to enact the original article 240 in the Criminal Procedure Act (CPL) in 1971 which provided the courts with a consistent framework to discovery and significantly expanded an accused rights to evidence. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the original article 240, some significant problems that arose under it, and how the new enacted article 240 attempted to address the problems. The author then argues that the new statute could have …
Federal Legislative Proposals For The Protection Of Privacy , Ludmila Kaniuga-Golad
Federal Legislative Proposals For The Protection Of Privacy , Ludmila Kaniuga-Golad
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Previously, privacy rights had to be litigated under one of the four recognized tort claim of actions.

At the time this article was written, several privacy related bills were before congress. The note examines the benefits of the bills proposed, and the (justified) failure of the proposals to consider a single federal information data bank due to its inability to safeguard privacy.

State Taxation Of Unitary Businesses , Peter G. Chen
State Taxation Of Unitary Businesses , Peter G. Chen
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The income taxation of multistate businesses has created problems for tax administrators, primarily with regard to the question of how to divide the income taxation amongst the multiple states. To address this, the concepts of unitary business and formula apportionment have been created. However, the non-uniform state taxation practices create difficulties even with the existence of these concepts. Some states have adopted the Multistate Tax Compact, but for it to be completely effective there still must be a uniform view adopted on what constitutes a unitary business. This note examines the constitutional issues attendant to developing a standard definition of …
Fire Insurance Recovery Rights Of The Foreclosing Mortgagee: Is His Lien Lost In The Ashes?, J. Burke Mccormick
Fire Insurance Recovery Rights Of The Foreclosing Mortgagee: Is His Lien Lost In The Ashes?, J. Burke Mccormick
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This note explores the question of a mortgagee's insurable interest under a standard mortgage clause as the process of foreclosure ripens his status from that of mortgagee to property owner. The author argues that while fire insurance recovery rights of the foreclosing mortgagee may appear to be a viable solution to apportionment of indemnity, when the rules are applied to deny recovery, the system becomes unjust. This creates an incentive for the mortgagee to avoid the foreclosure sale (when there is a fire loss to the property), so as to force the loss on the insurance carrier.
Selective Use Of The Executive Immunity Power: A Denial Of Due Process?, Howard Schwartz
Selective Use Of The Executive Immunity Power: A Denial Of Due Process?, Howard Schwartz
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Attacks on the government's power to grant immunity to cooperative witnesses have been premised on several grounds, including the due process clause of the fifth amendment. It is upon this clause that the United States District Court of the Southern District of New York based a decision that a defendant was denied due process when the government refused to immunize him after granting immunization to its own witnesses. This article examines traditional arguments against challenging a prosecutor's immunity discretion, the procedural and substantive factors necessary in substantiating a defendant's due process claim, and the effect of immunization on the government's …
The Effect Of The New Sec Rules On The Constitutionality Of State Takeover Statutes, Kathleen E. Slusser
The Effect Of The New Sec Rules On The Constitutionality Of State Takeover Statutes, Kathleen E. Slusser

This Note examines the constitutionality of state takeover statutes in light of the SEC's 1979 adoption of new merger rules governing tender offers. It discusses the procedural and substantive requirements of both the Williams Act and the new SEC rules, the state takeover statutes, and the preemption question that is raised by the combination of these laws. The author then argues that state takeover statutes are unconstitutional by virtue of their conflict with specific provisions of the new SEC rules.
The Application Of New York's Driving While Intoxicated Statute, Elizabeth Gross
The Application Of New York's Driving While Intoxicated Statute, Elizabeth Gross
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note analyzes the constitutional issues raised by section 1192 of New York State's Vehicle and Traffic Law. The argument it addresses is that the statute is unconstitutionally vague as it does not define the words "impaired" and "intoxicated." The lack of definition is especially keen where, because of the absence of chemical tests, the courts must decide intoxication cases on objective criteria. The Note then sets forth the major elements necessary for a conviction under the statute with the purpose of clarifying the distinction between intoxication and impairment.

Mandating Disclosure In Municipal Securities Issues: Proposed New York Legislation, Thomas S. Currier
Mandating Disclosure In Municipal Securities Issues: Proposed New York Legislation, Thomas S. Currier
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article surveys the existing mechanisims (primarily stemming from federal law) resulting in financial disclosure in connection with the offering and sale to the public of securities of New York municipal issuers. It also describes and compares alternative models for regimes of municipal issuer financial disclosure, such as the MFOA Guidelines, the federal Williams Bill and Industrial Bond Act and New York's Disclosure Proposals.
