Weakness Of The Collateral Consequences Doctrine: Counsel's Duty To Inform Aliens Of The Deportation Consequences Of Guilty Pleas, Guy Cohen Jan 1992

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

Fordham International Law Journal

This Note argues that attorneys have an affirmative duty to inform defendants of the immigration ramifications of guilty please. 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.


Pietro S. Nivola, Regulating Unfair Trade, Victor Essien Jan 1992

Pietro S. Nivola, Regulating Unfair Trade, Victor Essien

Fordham International Law Journal

In his earlier work, Nivola displayed his ability to urge acceptance of controversial viewpoints. In his most recent work, Regulating Unfair Trade,' Mr. Nivola has outdone himself. Even those who disagree with some of his analyses and conclusions will acknowledge that his views are informed and balanced. Furthermore, his presentation is thorough and his style is easy to follow. Mr. Nivola divides the discussion into seven chapters. In the first chapter, "Gulliver's Travail," he describes the objective for his enterprise. In the second chapter, he maps out the terrain. In chapter three, he sets the general tone for the discussion. …

Lethal Fiction: The Meaning Of "Counsel" In The Sixth Amendment , Bruce A. Green Jan 1992

Lethal Fiction: The Meaning Of "Counsel" In The Sixth Amendment , Bruce A. Green

Faculty Scholarship

Charles Bell, Donald Paradis, and Shirley Tyler were tried in different states for murder. Each was convicted and sentenced to death. Charles Bell was represented at trial by a recent law school graduate who had never before tried a criminal case to completion. Donald Paradis's lawyer had passed the bar exam six months earlier, had never previously represented a criminal accused, and had not elected courses in criminal law, criminal procedure, or trial advocacy while in law school. Shirley Tyler's trial lawyer was also a member of the bar for only a few months. He had defended one previous assault …


"Death Is Different" And Other Twists Of Fate, Deborah W. Denno Jan 1992

"Death Is Different" And Other Twists Of Fate, Deborah W. Denno

Faculty Scholarship

Professor Welsh White's book, The Death Penalty in the Nineties, reviews those United States Supreme Court decisions and developments that have occurred in the four years since the publication of his earlier book, The Death Penalty in the Eighties. In The Nineties, White claims that these recent developments, which have significantly limited capital defendants' habeas corpus appeals, are likely to increase both the rate and the geographical reach of executions which, in the past, have occurred mostly in the South. After discussing some of the analytical and methodological shortcomings of The Nineties, this review will focus on The Nineties' most …

But The Proposed Uniform Commercial Code Was Adopted Is The Ucc Dead, Or Alive And Well, Carl Felsenfeld Jan 1992

But The Proposed Uniform Commercial Code Was Adopted Is The Ucc Dead, Or Alive And Well, Carl Felsenfeld

Faculty Scholarship

The oldest living resident may recognize that the title above is de- rived from an article written by Professor Frederick K. Beutel of the Yale Law School, which appeared in the 1952 Yale Law Journal. Professor Beutel began his article by stating that the UCC should not be adopted and concluded by advising that it would "mark the beginning of the end of fairness and uniformity in the commercial law." Beutel's advice was not taken, and, with relatively modest modifications, the UCC has been adopted in all states. This Essay investigates whether Professor Beutel's concerns were justified.

The Political Balance Of The Religion Clauses, Abner S. Greene Jan 1992

The Political Balance Of The Religion Clauses, Abner S. Greene

Faculty Scholarship

When the Supreme Court held in Employment Division v. Smith that the Free Exercise Clause does not protect religious practices from otherwise valid laws that incidentally burden those practices, it followed a particular theory of democratic politics. That some laws might unintentionally burden certain religious practices is, said the Court, an "unavoidable consequence of democratic government [that] must be preferred to a system in which each conscience is a law unto itself." The Court was certainly right in one sense: To claim that conscientious objection to an otherwise valid law should exempt one from that law is to claim that …

Tenements And Takings: Tenement House Department Of New York V. Moeschen As A Counterpoint To Lochner V. New York, Judith A. Gilbert

Fordham Urban Law Journal

“The sharp rightward shift in land use law, and particularly in ‘takings’ jurisprudence, in the 1980s prompted anguished responses from advocates of government regulation who characterized the trend as a ‘return to the good old days of Locke and Lochner,’ ‘the Reagan Revolution's Lochnerian [r]eturn,’ ‘a revival of decisions like Lochner,’ ‘origins [in] the set of beliefs associated with the Lochner era,’ and ‘Back to the Future: From Nollan to Lochner.’ Critics were reacting in particular to an ominous alignment in the constitutional heavens: a constellation of United States Supreme Court decisions restricting the ability of state and local governments …


Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf Jan 1991

Hud And Housing In The 1990s: Crises In Affordability And Accountability, Michael Allan Wolf

Fordham Urban Law Journal

“Half a century ago, in the Housing Act of 1949, Congress declared optimistically that every American should have access to safe, decent, affordable housing.3 In an effort to realize that ambitious objective, federal lawmakers have devised and bureaucrats have implemented a wide array of housing schemes. One commentator has provided nine categories for what he deems the ‘bewildering variety of housing-related programs:’ 1. a federally regulated mortgage finance system; 2. mortgage insurance; 3. interest rate subsidies to home owners, developers, and landlords; 4. tax deductions for mortgage interest; 5. special depreciation allowances for rental housing; 6. low-rent public housing; 7. …
