Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf
Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf
Fordham Urban Law Journal
“Half a century ago, in the Housing Act of 1949, Congress declared optimistically that every American should have access to safe, decent, affordable housing.3 In an effort to realize that ambitious objective, federal lawmakers have devised and bureaucrats have implemented a wide array of housing schemes. One commentator has provided nine categories for what he deems the ‘bewildering variety of housing-related programs:’ 1. a federally regulated mortgage finance system; 2. mortgage insurance; 3. interest rate subsidies to home owners, developers, and landlords; 4. tax deductions for mortgage interest; 5. special depreciation allowances for rental housing; 6. low-rent public housing; 7. …
Eviction Free Zones: The Economics Of Legal Bricolage In The Fight Against Displacement, Lawrence K. Kolodney
Eviction Free Zones: The Economics Of Legal Bricolage In The Fight Against Displacement, Lawrence K. Kolodney
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Gentrification, the influx of high-income dwellers into low-income neighborhoods, has in the past decade become a serious cause of concern to low-income tenants in older American cities. Although gentrification has had some positive effects, one important negative effect has been the displacement of existing neighborhood residents. Various schemes have been suggested to combat displacement caused by gentrification. One strategy entails seeking legislative relief in the form of rent control and condominium-conversion laws to directly curb the influx of high-income residents; another makes use of rent vouchers and public housing to ameliorate the effects of displacement. This Article analyzes an alternative …

Integrity And Ethical Standards In New York State Government: Final Report To The Governor, New York State Commission On Government Integrity
Integrity And Ethical Standards In New York State Government: Final Report To The Governor, New York State Commission On Government Integrity
Fordham Urban Law Journal
September 1990 letter from the New York State Commission on Government Integrity to Governor Mario M. Cuomo. “This letter constitutes the final report of the Commission on Government Integrity. The Commission was created by Executive Order 88.1 and directed to examine a wide variety of subjects concerning government integrity in New York State. Since its inception, the Commission has submitted 20 reports containing specific recommendations for reform of New York laws, regulations and procedures. Some of these recommendations can be implemented by executive order; others require action by the New York State Legislature. Most of the recommendations would impose no …
Tenements And Takings: Tenement House Department Of New York V. Moeschen As A Counterpoint To Lochner V. New York, Judith A. Gilbert
Tenements And Takings: Tenement House Department Of New York V. Moeschen As A Counterpoint To Lochner V. New York, Judith A. Gilbert
Fordham Urban Law Journal
“The sharp rightward shift in land use law, and particularly in ‘takings’ jurisprudence, in the 1980s prompted anguished responses from advocates of government regulation who characterized the trend as a ‘return to the good old days of Locke and Lochner,’ ‘the Reagan Revolution's Lochnerian [r]eturn,’ ‘a revival of decisions like Lochner,’ ‘origins [in] the set of beliefs associated with the Lochner era,’ and ‘Back to the Future: From Nollan to Lochner.’ Critics were reacting in particular to an ominous alignment in the constitutional heavens: a constellation of United States Supreme Court decisions restricting the ability of state and local governments …
Customary Law In A New South Africa: A Proposal, Lynn Berat
Customary Law In A New South Africa: A Proposal, Lynn Berat
Fordham International Law Journal
This Article explores avenues open to South African politicians and jurists in their search for a more equitable South Africa. Part I examines the international position of customary law. Part II considers the treatment of customary law elsewhere in Africa and gives particular attention to unification of laws and legal systems. Part III reviews the experiences of legal dualism in South Africa's neighbors, Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland. Part IV discusses customary law in South Africa. Part V contends that although the unification of laws is a desirable long-term goal for South Africa, at present it is impractical. Part V also …
In Re Harrods Ltd.: The Brussels Convention And The Proper Application Of Forum Non Conveniens To Non-Contracting States, Adam R. Schwartz
In Re Harrods Ltd.: The Brussels Convention And The Proper Application Of Forum Non Conveniens To Non-Contracting States, Adam R. Schwartz
Fordham International Law Journal
Although the doctrine of forum non conveniens is unknown in Continental legal systems, Community law does not prevent English courts from preserving their discretion to stay proceedings, in conflicts involving a defendant domiciliary, in favor of more appropriate courts in a non-Contracting State. Where the provisions of the Brussels Convention do not address a legal question, the answer must be sought in the objectives and scheme of the Convention. The English Court of Appeals in Harrods properly understood that Community law does not require ritualistic reliance on the Convention's jurisdiction conferring provisions in cases involving a defendant domiciled in a …
Joint Ventures Under Eec Law, Barry E. Hawk
Joint Ventures Under Eec Law, Barry E. Hawk
Fordham International Law Journal
This Article attempts to construct an intellectually coherent and predictable analysis of joint ventures, an undertaking which faces more serious problems under EEC law than U.S. law. First, EEC law makes it necessary to determine whether the Merger Regulation or Article 85 applies to any given joint venture. Second, Article 85's unfortunate bifurcation into paragraphs (1) and (3) (notification or nullity) and the resultant division of what should be a single antitrust analysis poses significant obstacles in the EEC treatment of joint ventures.
The Proposal For A Directive On The Right Of Establishment For Lawyers In The European Community, Heinz Weil
The Proposal For A Directive On The Right Of Establishment For Lawyers In The European Community, Heinz Weil
Fordham International Law Journal
This Commentary concerns the initiative of the Council of the Bars and Law Societies of the European Community to codify the right of establishment for lawyers. I would first like to give a short summary of the historical background, without which it would be rather difficult to understand the meaning of the CCBE's Draft Directive on the Right of Establishment for Lawyers. Then, without going into the technicalities of the text, I would like to summarize the content of the draft. Finally, I would like to say a few words about the present situation concerning the Draft Directive.
Choosing Law For Attributing Liability Under The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act: A Proposal For Uniformity, Sandra Engle
Choosing Law For Attributing Liability Under The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act: A Proposal For Uniformity, Sandra Engle
Fordham International Law Journal
This Note argues that federal common law should determine all attribution of liability issues in actions brought under the FSIA. Part I discusses the FSIA, its history and policies, and the sole U.S. Supreme Court decision to discuss the proper choice of law approach for attribution of liability under the FSIA. Part II examines subsequent cases that have either followed or distinguished the Supreme Court's choice of law approach in deciding questions of agency or respondeat superior. Part III argues that congressional intent demands the application of federal common law to determine questions of attribution of liability in actions brought …
