Law School As Straight Space, Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen Mar 2023

Law School As Straight Space, Swethaa S. Ballakrishnen

Fordham Law Review

In honoring Professor Deborah L. Rhode’s commitment to making space for the marginal in legal education and clarifying the “no-problem” problems in our midst, Professor Ballakrishnen’s Essay focuses on one strain of nonnormative experience—that of genderqueer persons—to clarify the ways in which law schools reinforce linear hierarchies of identity and performance. Professor Ballakrishnen catalogues ethnographic student interview data to highlight perspectives of genderqueer law students, the result of which suggests that “normal” professional practices in law school reinforce the rigidity of the gender binary. They conclude by suggesting that paying attention to these student subpopulations is crucial to reform legal …


Why State Courts Should Authorize Nonlawyers To Practice Law, Bruce A. Green Mar 2023

Why State Courts Should Authorize Nonlawyers To Practice Law, Bruce A. Green

Fordham Law Review

The unauthorized practice of law (“UPL”) is a crime in most states. Many scholars have criticized UPL laws as unnecessary impediments to low-income individuals’ ability to obtain legal help. Meanwhile, courts often defend these laws by analogizing the dangers posed by unlicensed legal practice to those posed by unlicensed medical practice. Chronicling two notable UPL suits to illustrate how nonlawyers may help low-income individuals seeking legal assistance and arguing that comparison to the medical profession in many ways favors liberalizing UPL enforcement, Professor Bruce Green concludes that state courts should allow nonlawyers greater freedom to provide legal assistance.


The Reality Of Materiality: Why A Heightened Adversity Standard Has No Place In Title Vii Discrimination Claims, Abigail Mccabe Mar 2023

The Reality Of Materiality: Why A Heightened Adversity Standard Has No Place In Title Vii Discrimination Claims, Abigail Mccabe

Fordham Law Review

Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 forbids discrimination in the workplace. Except, according to certain lower courts’ limiting interpretations, for when it does not. Circuit courts have spent decades imposing an extratextual materiality requirement onto Title VII in contravention of its broad remedial purpose. Accordingly, countless victims of discrimination are unable to seek recourse because their alleged harm was purportedly too insignificant to constitute actionable discrimination under Title VII. This materiality requirement not only presents an additional substantive hurdle for plaintiffs, but also leads to inconsistency and unpredictability, as each circuit fumbles to define what conduct is …

Rhode Was Right (About Character And Fitness), Leslie C. Levin Mar 2023

Rhode Was Right (About Character And Fitness), Leslie C. Levin

Fordham Law Review

In this Essay, Professor Leslie C. Levin revives Professor Deborah L. Rhode’s forty-year-old critique of the character and fitness process and shows that not much has changed. Levin exposes the process’s core problems, including the lack of public information available about character and fitness decisions, the process’s subjectivity, the disconnect between information sought and future lawyer misconduct, and the deterrent effect on individuals considering a legal career. Levin proposes that task forces reexamine problematic application questions, such as those targeting decriminalized conduct and mental health, and push for more transparency and disclosure.


Rationalizing Relatedness: Understanding Personal Jurisdiction's Relatedness Prong In The Wake Of Bristol-Myers Squibb And Ford Motor Co., Anthony Petrosino Mar 2023

Rationalizing Relatedness: Understanding Personal Jurisdiction's Relatedness Prong In The Wake Of Bristol-Myers Squibb And Ford Motor Co., Anthony Petrosino

Fordham Law Review

Ford Motor Co. v. Montana Eighth Judicial District Court marked a watershed in the U.S. Supreme Court’s personal jurisdiction jurisprudence. There, the Court came to a reasonable conclusion: Ford, a multinational conglomerate carrying on extensive business throughout the United States, was subject to personal jurisdiction in states where it maintained substantial contacts that were related to the injuries that prompted the suits. This was so, even though the business it conducted in those states was not the direct cause of the suit. While justifying that conclusion, however, the Court drastically altered the personal jurisdiction inquiry’s relatedness prong, which concerns whether …

All Decisions

The court granted the tenant's motion to dismiss the landlord's nonpayment petition. Although the petition alleged the existence of a lease agreement which the tenant defaulted on, it was established during the proceeding that no written lease existed between the parties. The court found that without a lease agreement, the landlord was prohibited from commencing the nonpayment proceeding under RPAPL 711(2). The landlord's argument that it did not need to offer a lease unless the tenant requested one also failed, as the tenant and his counsel both requested a written lease which the landlord did not rebut or provide evidence …
