We are alumni of the City University of New York School of Law, Class (“CUNY Law”) of 2007 and founders of Common Law, an organization that uses legal education and legal services to support and increase organizing and activism.

Multiculturalist Liberalism And Harms To Women: Lookin Through The Issue Of "The Veil", Anissa Helie, Marie Ashe

Publications and Research

Hélie & Ashe law review writing raises and responds to a reformulated and broadened version of Susan Okin’s 1999 inquiry, Is Multiculturalism Bad for Women? It identifies social and political developments, as well as legal and theoretical developments, that have occurred in the 21^st century and that demand that reformulation.

Not limiting itself (as did Okin’s question) to interrogating the relationship between women’s equality interests and interests in “religious freedom” advanced by minority-religious groups, Hélie & Ashe is the broader inquiry, critical for liberal theory of the 21^st century which has been greatly affected by the “ethos …

Weaponizing Tear Gas: Bahrain’S Unprecedented Use Of Toxic Chemical Agents Against Civilians., Richard Sollom, Holly G. Atkinson

Publications and Research

The Bahraini government’s response to the early 2011 pro-democracy protests was brutal, systematic, and violent. In addition to birdshot and rubber bullets, government law enforcement attacked unarmed protestors with toxic chemical agents including tear gas. The government’s crackdown on the medical profession was especially harmful, as security forces arrested and detained doctors, raided health facilities, and obstructed patients from receiving necessary care. This report’s findings are based on field research that the authors conducted in Bahrain (April 2012) to investigate excessive use of force by law enforcement officials since June 2011—the end of Bahrain’s state of emergency. The medico-legal team …

Recalibrating After Kiobel: Evaluating The Utility Of The Racketeer Influenced And Corrupt Organizations Act ("Rico") In Litigating International Corporate Abuse, Julian Simcock

City University of New York Law Review

This analysis seeks to explore the unexamined question of whether the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO” or “The Act”) could one day become a useful surrogate for the Alien Tort Statute (“ATS”) in litigating international corporate abuses. Decades after the ATS became a robust tool for bringing claims for international violations in U.S. courts, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit recently ruled in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum Co. that corporations cannot be held liable for torts in violation of the law of nations under the ATS.Rulings by the D.C Circuit and the Seventh Circuit …
