Disenfranchisement Of The College Student Vote: When A Resident Is Not A Resident, Joseph A. Bollhofer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The standards used by state and local election officials to determine whether students may vote as residents of the communities in which they attend college vary significantly among the fifty states. Two fundamental rights conflict in determining whether college students should be entitled to vote as residents of their college communities: the right of students to equal protection of the laws and eh right of states to limit the right to vote to bona fide residents. This Comment demonstrates the need for the education of election officials and college students in the common law principles of domicile. Moreover, it will …


Municipal Liability For Requiring Unfit Police Officers To Carry Guns, Pamela A. Keating Jan 1983

Municipal Liability For Requiring Unfit Police Officers To Carry Guns, Pamela A. Keating

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The stress of police work is evidenced by high rates of suicide, marital problems, alcoholism, heart disease, and psychosomatic illnesses. Additionally, police are required to carry a gun while off duty. Given these stresses, there is often a heightened risk for unwarranted shootings. However, municipalities are not traditionally liable under respondeat superior for the actions of its police unless a victim was shot by a police officer in very limited set of circumstances. Therefore, few municipalities impose psychological screenings on its police force. This Note proposes that municipalities take greater initiative in monitoring the fitness of its police officers, and, …


New York City Zoning Resolution Section 12-10: A Third Phase In The Evolution Of Airspace Law, Terence Kennedy Jan 1983

New York City Zoning Resolution Section 12-10: A Third Phase In The Evolution Of Airspace Law, Terence Kennedy

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Originally, airspace was considered to be a form of land inseparable from the soil owned by the surface landowner. Over time, however, the law has allowed airspace to be severed from the soil, enabling the surface landowner to alienate the airspace while retaining title to the soil. New York City Zoning Resolution section 12-10 has advanced this modern notion by limiting buildable floorspace and permitting transfer of airspace. This Note details the history and uses of airspace, and proposes that the amended section of 12-10 both modernizes our stationary concept of real property and establishes airspace property interests as being …


Rediscovering The Individual In Federal Election Law, Susan H. Marren Jan 1983

Rediscovering The Individual In Federal Election Law, Susan H. Marren

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The importance of the federal electoral process has traditionally been viewed by Congress as creating the need for heavy regulation to insure its strength and vitality. However, the contribution limitations provisions of the Federal Election Campaign Act of 1971 (FECA) has a detrimental effect to the individual voter, forcing candidates to overlook individual citizens in favor of organizations with large fundraising capabilities. FECA was initially enacted to compel candidates to appeal to more individual voters, mainly by limiting contributions from either individual citizens or corporations. Yet, the Act also permits a corporation or labor organization to create a separate segregated …


The Phoenix Court, Howard T. Markey Jan 1983

The Phoenix Court, Howard T. Markey

Cleveland State Law Review

Like the famed Phoenix, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit rose on October 1, 1982, from the ashes of two former courts. On that day, the 127 year old United States Court of Claims and the 73 year old United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals went out of existence, leaving a history of outstanding contributions to the administration of justice. Though every federal court serves the role on numerous occasions, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit should in a special way earn the title of "The Conscience of the Government." This article …


Patent Litigation Before The New Claims Court, Joseph V. Colaianni Jan 1983

Patent Litigation Before The New Claims Court, Joseph V. Colaianni

Cleveland State Law Review

The final chapter was written recently on the United States Court of Claims, a court which from its creation in 1855 had served as the nation's conscience. The existence of this court, which had served long and well in carrying out the task of a sovereign rendering justice against itself, along with the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals, was terminated on October 1, 1982, and replaced by the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and the United States Claims Court. It is not the purpose of this paper to outline the history of the Court of …

Local Rules And Procedures Of The United States Court Of Appeals For The Federal Circuit, George E. Hutchinson, Ernest C. Baynard Iii

Cleveland State Law Review

The Federal Courts Improvement Act of 1982 abolished the United States Court of Claims and the United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals and created the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the United States Claims Court. The Act provided for an advisory committee to be appointed by the CAFC in order to study the proposed rules of practice and internal operating procedures of the court. The recommendations of the advisory committee were given considerable weight when the court promulgated the Rules of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC …


The Endless Debate: Refugees Law And Policy And The 1980 Refugee Act, Kenneth D. Brill Jan 1983

The Endless Debate: Refugees Law And Policy And The 1980 Refugee Act, Kenneth D. Brill

Cleveland State Law Review

Refugee policy and law have developed largely in an ad hoc manner, as the nation has responded to crises around the world with both altruism and political self-interest. Against the foreground of refugee and asylum claims by unfortunate individuals there has been an unending struggle among the three branches of the United States government to make the rules for handling these claims. Part II discusses the way refugee policy became a weapon in the Cold War and the formal abandonment of that approach with the adoption of the 1980 Refugee Act. Part III contains an analysis of the claims of …
