Bachchan V. India Abroad Publication Inc.: The Clash Between Protection Of Free Speech In The United States And Great Britain, Gregory T. Walters Jan 1992

Bachchan V. India Abroad Publication Inc.: The Clash Between Protection Of Free Speech In The United States And Great Britain, Gregory T. Walters

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment argues that, although the New York Supreme Court reached the correct opinion in Bachchan v. India Abroad Publ., but the scope of the court's decision must be limited limited in its application with respect to future enforcement proceedings involving non-U.S. libel judgments. Part I examines the contrasting defamation standards in the United States and Great Britain, and details the concept of comity. Part II sets forth the factual and procedural history of the case and examines the opinion of the court. Part III analyzes the Bachchan decision and argues that, while the result was appropriate to the facts …


Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin Jan 1992

Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Lipkin continues the debate over the nature of indeterminacy in constitutional theory, arguing that epistemic indeterminacy is most relevant to the law, because epistemic indeterminacy is more closely tied to practical reasoning than is metaphysical indeterminacy. Professor Lipkin further argues that the controversy over metaphysical or epistemic indeterminacy is really a controversy over truth or justification as the primary form of validating constitutional rules. In Professor Lipkin's view, the search for constitutional truth should be abandoned or, at best, should be treated as a trivial result of the best justification. Finally, Professor Lipkin proposes a new …


Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld Jan 1992

Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld

Fordham Law Review

Focusing on the multiple meanings of the statement "A was a more important cause of C than was B," Professor Strassfeld considers the feasibility of comparative causation as a means of apportioning legal responsibility for harms. He concludse that by combining two different interpretations of "more important cause"--judgments of comparative counterfactual similarity and the Uniform Comparative Fault Act approach of comparative responsibility--we can effectively make causal comparisons and avoid the effort to compare such incommensurables as the defendant's fault under a strict liability standard and the plaintiff's failt for failure to exercise reasonable care.

Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy Jan 1992

Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Malloy examines the convergence of regulatory standards among international regulators, suggesting that the dynamic of financial services regulation can be best understood as a conceptualized version of the bumper cars ride at an amusement park. While Professor Malloy suggests that a certain degree of convergence has already occurred in international regulation, thus decreasing the number of "bumps" in the ride, he also recognizes that much of this convergence remains propsective rather than actual, and currently is dominated by a pattern of regionalized regulation. Professor Malloy argues that, unless a converged pattern of regulation continues to develop, …

The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg Jan 1992

The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg

Fordham Law Review

Professor Reidenberg addresses the challenge to transnational financial services resulting from national regulation of information processing. National laws around the world seek to define fair information practices for the private sector and contain prohibitions on data transfers to foreign destinations that lack sufficient privacy protection. The effect of these laws for the financial services industry is significant because financial services depend on personal information. Professor Reidenberg argues that the international attempts to harmonize information processing encourage divergence of national standards for financial services. He argues that regulatory flexibility and customization is necessary to support financial sevices and accomodate, without circumventing, …

Fordham Law Review

As the first Director-Counsel of the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, otherwise known as the "Inc. Fund," Thurgood Marshall helped establish the Inc Fund's tradition of landmark civil rights litigation. Mr. Harper discusses in this article the role played by the Inc Fund and Justice Marshall in overthrowing Monroe v. Pape and its curtailment of civil rights suits against municipalities. The instrument for change was Harkdess v. Sweeny Independent School District, a suit filed on behalf of seventeen Black schoolteachers who were discriminatorily fired by a Texas school district.

Why So Many Lawyers? Are They Good Or Bad?, Robert C. Clark Jan 1992

Why So Many Lawyers? Are They Good Or Bad?, Robert C. Clark

Fordham Law Review

In this essay, Dean Clark examines the popular notion that the United States has too many lawyers and that this abundance burdens the nation. While acknowledging the great growth of law and lawyers in recent decades, Dean Clark argues that, before denouncing this trend, we should first seek to develop a fuller explanation of its causes and consequences. After discussing just what it is that lawyers do, Dean Clark critiques three current "cancerous growth" theories that attempt to explain why there has been such a great and unhealthy increase in the number of lawyers Dean Clark then offers and analyzes …


The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman Jan 1992

The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman

Fordham Law Review

In this essay, Professor Feinman argues that the doctrine of promissory estoppel has outlived its usefulness as a theory of contract Professor Feinman relies on an article written by Professors Edward Yorio and Steven Thel as an illustration of the debate over whether promissory estoppel is based upon the enforcement of promises or the protection of reliance. Professor Feinman rejects the conceptual framework upon which this debate is based and ultimately proposes that contract law should move to a relational analysis, ignoring the distinction between promise and reliance and replacing it with an analysis of the obligations involved in a …

New Legal Effects Resulting From The Failure Of States To Fulfill Obligations Under European Community Law: The Francovich Judgement, John Temple Lang

Fordham International Law Journal

This Article examines a decision of the Court of Justice of the European Communities that is likely both to ensure much greater protection for the rights of citizens and companies in the European Community, and to bring about a higher level of compliance with Community law by EC Member States. In brief, the Court ruled that in certain circumstances a Member State is liable to pay compensation to private parties if it has failed to implement a directive. To see how the Court of Justice reached this conclusion, and to assess the judgment's importance, it is necessary to summarize previous …


Eec Competiton Practice: A Thirty-Year Retrospective, Donald L. Holley Jan 1992

Eec Competiton Practice: A Thirty-Year Retrospective, Donald L. Holley

Fordham International Law Journal

The choice in this Article is to focus on a limited number of points, and then to offer some general conclusions. The plan is to move as much as possible on a chronological basis, starting with the early confrontation in 1962 with the notification process under Regulation 17 and arriving at Council Regulation No. 4064/89 (the "Merger Regulation"), treating in between individual aspects of practice, such as dealing with the DG-IV staff, sources of law, the role of economics, and the role of national courts. The potential scope of each of these points of course leaves wide options to an …

Valentine Korah & Warwick A. Rothnie, Exclusive Distribution And The Eec Competition Rules: Regulations 1983/83 & 1984/83, Peter Alexiadis Jan 1992

Valentine Korah & Warwick A. Rothnie, Exclusive Distribution And The Eec Competition Rules: Regulations 1983/83 & 1984/83, Peter Alexiadis

Fordham International Law Journal

The second edition of Exclusive Distribution is, quite frankly, an indispensable source when reviewing the compatibility of exclusive distribution agreements with Article 85 of the Treaty Establishing the European Economic Community (the "EEC Treaty"). Its indispensability lies, in part, in the fact that distribution issues comprise the vast bulk of an EEC competition practitioner's ongoing antitrust work. The provision of exclusive territories, or the promise to purchase on an exclusive basis are, in turn, the most popular forms of distribution arrangement used in the EEC. The indispensability also lies in the fact that the book manages to cover almost every …

Weakness Of The Collateral Consequences Doctrine: Counsel's Duty To Inform Aliens Of The Deportation Consequences Of Guilty Pleas, Guy Cohen

Part I analyzes the general test for ineffective assistance of counsel, the rules and standards related to guilty please and the overlap between criminal law and immigration law. Part II examines the split of authority in the lower courts over whether misinforming or failing to inform defendants about immigration reprecussions should result in reversal of guilty pleas. Part III argues that attorneys have a duty to inform aliens of the deportation possibilities of guilty pleas.
