Evaluating Article 2 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Preliminary Empirical Expedition, James J. White
Evaluating Article 2 Of The Uniform Commercial Code: A Preliminary Empirical Expedition, James J. White
Articles
A proponent of commercial law codification, Mr. Eaton was one of the first American lawyers to perceive that mere codification of the law did not necessarily produce certainty and lack of discord in the law of commercial transactions. Indeed, in the same article Eaton reveals that of the 1,091 cases that had arisen under the Negotiable Instruments Law, only 704 cited the Act and in the other 387 "the Negotiable Instruments Law [was] ignored by the courts in the decisions, and (so far as the reports show) by the counsel in these cases...." Unlike Bentham, Carter, and Field, each of …

Note: Child Abuse And Maltreatment: The Development Of New York's Child Protection Laws, Iris Ann Albstein
Note: Child Abuse And Maltreatment: The Development Of New York's Child Protection Laws, Iris Ann Albstein
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Each year over 200,000 children in the United States are abused or neglected by their parents. While many of these children are very young and come from poor families, children of every age and income bracket are victimized. In the early 1960s the federal government took some affirmative action by amending the Social Security Act to provide funds for the states in order to establish comprehensive child welfare services for children receiving substandard care. Until recently the states had done little to help these children. Each state now has laws offering protection and services to abused and neglected children. New …

The Recodified New York Election Law: A Small Step In The Right Direction, John J. Keohane, Michael A. Vaccari
Fordham Urban Law Journal
During the 1976 national and local election campaigns, the New York State Election Law and its "Byzantine" procedures came under withering attack by both the candidates and the press. The inadequacies of the existing law had long been recognized and decried by numerous citizens groups and legislators. The first step toward much-needed substantive election law reform has been taken recently with the passage of an Election Law Recodification Act. The new law, passed under the sponsorship of Assemblyman Melvin H. Miller, Chairman of the Election Law Committee, went into effect on December 1, 1977. The Election Law Recodification is characterized …
Note: Constitutional Chellanges To New York's Youthful Offender Statute, John M. Tyd
Note: Constitutional Chellanges To New York's Youthful Offender Statute, John M. Tyd
Fordham Urban Law Journal
New York's Youthful Offender Statute has been described as "humane and progressive legislation intended for the benefit of a youth who makes his first mistake and that he should not be branded as a criminal therefor..." In keeping with this philosophy, the statute provides a system whereby a youth (i.e., an individual between the ages of sixteen and eighteen) can avoid the serious consequences which result from being convicted of a crime. Upon determination that youthful offender status should be granted, the conviction is vacated and replaced with a youthful offender finding. Prior to 1975, those youths indicted for crimes …
