It's Time To Privatize, E.S. Savas
It's Time To Privatize, E.S. Savas
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Schools are failing, crime is commonplace, streets are filthy, transportation is a test of endurance, drug addiction is a curse, and millions have fled the city seeking a higher quality of life. The problem? New York City government. This paper argues that to fix the myriad of problems facing New Yorkers, the only solution is a restructuring of government that would lead to a privatization, allowing New Yorkers to rely more heavily on private industry instead of government. This system would force public agencies and private firms to compete for the privilege of providing public services and thereby earning taxpayers' …

The Fordham Urban Law Journal: Twenty Years Of Progress, Constantine N. Katsoris
Fordham Urban Law Journal
After Fordham University moved the School of Law to the cultural hub at Lincoln Center, the problems associated with our urban areas began to accelerate. It became apparent that a closer focus had to be directed specifically at the urban problems of the nation, with particular emphasis on the affairs of its then largest city and state - New York. Thus, the Fordham Urban Law Journal (ULJ or Journal) published its first issue in 1972, exactly 20 years ago. This article commemorates the 20th anniversary of the Urban Law Journal, reflecting on the Journal's most notable accomplishments and tracing its …

The Miner's Canary: Tribal Control Of American Indian Education And The First Amendment, John E. Silverman
Fordham Urban Law Journal
One legacy of America's mistreatment of its indigenous peoples has been an educational policy that has run roughshod over Native American Free Exercise rights. Today, American Indian tribes widely seek increased control over the education of their children. This position has received broad congressional and presidential support since the Nixon Administration, but more than twenty years later, Native Americans are still fighting to attain their goals. Federal statistics that rank American Indians as our least educated, most addicted, shortest-lived citizens suggest tremendous room for improvement in Indian education. Despite certain circuit court Free Exercise Clause decisions that unreasonably hold Indian …

Giving The Devil The Benefit Of Law: Pornographers, The Feminist Attack On Free Speech, And The First Amendment, John F. Wirenius
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The battle lines over the censorship of “pornographic” materials have been shifted by a faction of the women’s movement following the publication of Andrea Dworkin’s Pornography: Men Possessing Women. With Dworkin, Catharine A. MacKinnon, a vocal and influential female advocate, co-authored a prototypical ordinance to protect against the degradation of individuals, mainly women, in pornography. To these advocates, pornography causes direct harm to individuals coerced into sexual activity and indirect harm by inculcating society with the chauvinistic norms of the pornographic world. While Wirenius agrees with MacKinnon and Dworkin about the importance of pornography in First Amendment jurisprudence, he disagrees …
