Intellectual Property And Domestic Relations: Issues To Consider When There Is An Artist, Author, Inventor, Or Celebrity In The House, Ann Bartow

Ann Bartow

This article articulates some of the special issues raised by intellectual property in the context of family-law-oriented concerns. It also necessarily explores the characteristics and properties of personal intellectual property in a broader sense. What follows is an overview of the special issues and concerns intellectual property might present in the context of divorce, estate planning, or probate. Please keep one important caveat in mind: Intellectual property has become a very dynamic area of the law. Governing federal patent, copyright, and trademark statutes are extensively amended with astounding frequency. Right of publicity and trade secret law are also constantly evolving. …

4. Let’S Not Exaggerate The Suggestibility Of Children., Thomas D. Lyon Aug 2001

4. Let’S Not Exaggerate The Suggestibility Of Children., Thomas D. Lyon

Thomas D. Lyon

I’m grateful to Dr. Martindale for introducing the reader to an important and lively debate among practitioners and academics over the relevance of recent research on children’s suggestibility. In my Cornell Law Review article, I argued that the recent research on suggestibility was inspired by highly coercive interviewing techniques in widely publicized cases that are not the norm in child sexual abuse investigations. These techniques include telling children that they have been abused, telling children that a particular person is the abuser, and asking children to imagine details regarding how abuse could have taken place. Moreover, I argued that the …

The New Asylum Rule: Improved But Still Unfair, Michele Pistone, P. Schrag Jul 2001

The New Asylum Rule: Improved But Still Unfair, Michele Pistone, P. Schrag

Michele R. Pistone

In 1996, Congress passed the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA). This article discusses how two specific provisions of the IIRIRA - the one-year deadline on asylum applications and the expedited removal provisions - unnecessarily cause hardship and injustice to asylum-seekers. It also assesses the response of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and suggests needed regulatory and statutory reform. Recognizing that even regulatory reforms will not eliminate many of the injustices caused by the IIRIRA, the article recommends enactment of the Refugee Protection Act, currently pending in Congress. First, the article discussed the one year filing deadline …

Payee Tax Representations & The Isda Master Agreement, Christian Johnson Jul 2001

Payee Tax Representations & The Isda Master Agreement, Christian Johnson

Christian A. Johnson

Negotiations over the payee tax representations to be made in an ISDA Master Agreement are often confusing, acrimonious and slow. U.S. negotiators, at the urging of expensive tax counsel, often insist that their foreign counterparties make comprehensive tax representations for U.S. tax purposes and deliver certain IRS tax forms to them. Typically, foreign counterparties resist making these representations because they don't understand the purposes behind them. However, these payee tax representations, and the related delivery of tax forms, serve important purposes.

Buffalo's "Prophet Of Protest": The Political Leadership And Activism Of Reverend Dr. Bennett W. Smith, Sr., Sherri Wallace Jun 2001

Buffalo's "Prophet Of Protest": The Political Leadership And Activism Of Reverend Dr. Bennett W. Smith, Sr., Sherri Wallace

Sherri L. Wallace

Recently voted as one of Western New York's most influential people for the twentieth century (Gallivan 1999), the Reverend Dr. [Bennett W. Smith, Sr.] Sr.'s own electoral and political activism clearly emanate from the ethical expressions of the social justice ministry of his late friend and comrade, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. King characterized social justice in terms of "comprehensive social empowerment." He believed that freedom for African-Americans without empowerment (i.e. "Civil Rights"), land and/or other social/economic resources, was not "true" freedom (Walker 1991, 24). King's philosophy, similar to Stokely Carmichael's view of "Black Power," articulated a "call …

"Thou Shalt Not Put A Stumbling Block Before The Blind": The Americans With Disabilities Act And Public Transit For The Disabled, Michael E Lewyn Jun 2001

"Thou Shalt Not Put A Stumbling Block Before The Blind": The Americans With Disabilities Act And Public Transit For The Disabled, Michael E Lewyn

Michael E Lewyn

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) ordered local governments to make bus and train systems more accessible to the disabled. The ADA imposed costly requirements upon local public transit systems but did not give local governments funds with which to satisfy this mandate. By reducing the funds available to transit systems, the ADA has sometimes forced cutbacks in transit service for everyone (including, ironically, the disabled to the extent that disabled people were able to use public transit before the ADA's enactment). Thus, the ADA has occasionally been counterproductive.

The root cause of the ADA's inadequacy is that the ADA …

Implementing The First Best In An Agency Relationship With Renegotiation: A Corrigendum, Aaron S. Edlin, Benjamin Hermalin Jun 2001

Implementing The First Best In An Agency Relationship With Renegotiation: A Corrigendum, Aaron S. Edlin, Benjamin Hermalin

Aaron Edlin

The proof in Proposition 4 in Hermalin and Katz (1991) is incorrect because it fails to check post-renegotiation utilities against the incentive compatibility constraints. This note states and proves a comparable proposition with a slightly stronger assumption regarding the monotonicity of bargaining. This result vindicates the central intuition of Hermalin and Katz about the potential insignificance of the observable, but unverifiable distinction in contracting.
