Juvenile Detention Hearings: A Proposed Model Provision To Limit Discretion During The Preadjudicatory Stage, Carol Bombardi, Carol Bombardi, Carol Bombardi, Carol Bombardi

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note addresses constitutional issues relevant to pretrial detention and identifies problematic aspects in the existing juvenile justice system. It examines state and model provisions regarding the detention of youths prior to trial and concentrates on the inclusion of the detention hearing as an element of detention schemes. This Note proposes a model state provision that utilizes the detention hearing to protect the preadjudicatory rights of juveniles and to reduce the risk that detention will be unnecessarily ordered.


Local Government Action And Antitrust Policy: An Economic Analysis, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan Jan 1984

Local Government Action And Antitrust Policy: An Economic Analysis, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan, Timothy J. Brennan

Fordham Urban Law Journal

At least partly as a result of the Supreme Court decision in Community Communications Co. v. City of Boulder, cities are facing antitrust challenges to their rights to franchise cable television systems. Other municipal activities have been similarly challenged. The prospect of costly and uncertain antitrust litigation challenging local government actions will restrict the scope and extent of local regulatory activity. Such restrictions could, in turn, preempt city residents' ability to choose, through their elected representatives, the goods and services they prefer. This Article proposes that as a mater of policy the burden of proving a municipal antitrust violation should …

Unfair Dismissal: Emerging Issues In The Use Of Arbitration As A Dispute Resolution Alternative For The Nonunion Workforce, Eva Robins, Eva Robins, Eva Robins, Eva Robins

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article reviews the concept of just cause as a test for termination of employment and its applicability to the nonunion workforce. It addresses the feasibility of applying dispute resolution mechanisms found workable in labor-management relations under union contracts to employment-at-will disputes. It further outlines the standards and criteria utilized in the arbitration process and recognizes some problems of proof, evidence, remedy and procedure that will arise from the application of alternative methods of resolution to nonunion disputes. Finally, this Article identifies a substantial number of issues that need to be resolved if arbitration of just cause for termination of …


Nonemergency Municipal Curfew Ordinances And The Liberty Interests Of Minors, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill Jan 1984

Nonemergency Municipal Curfew Ordinances And The Liberty Interests Of Minors, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill, Paul M. Cahill

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Most crimes committed in the United States occur in cities, and a large proportion of these crimes are committed by juveniles under the age of eighteen. Although the total number of reported Crime Index offenses decreased slightly in 1982, surveys of popular attitudes toward crime show an increased fear of crime, especially among persons living in urban areas. One way states have addressed this challenge is by enacting nonemergency juvenile curfew amendments. This Note examines these amendments recently enacted in Trenton and Newark, New Jersey, and the Detroit, Michigan, ordinance which has recently been strictly enforced as part of a …


N.Y. General Municipal Law Section 50-E(5): Ameliorating New York's Notice Of Claim Requirements, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson Jan 1984

N.Y. General Municipal Law Section 50-E(5): Ameliorating New York's Notice Of Claim Requirements, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson, Lawrence M. Nessenson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

A multitude of provisions scattered throughout New York's consolidated and unconsolidated laws require that plaintiffs serve "notice of claim" of their tort actions on defendant public corporations. New York General Municipal Law section 50-e governs New York procedure for serving this notice of claim upon public corporations including when and upon whom service should be made, the form and contents of the notice of claim, and how notice of claim may be served. Compliance with the requirements of section 50-e is a condition precedent to commencement of a tort action against a public corporation wherever such notice of claim is …


Challenges To Employment Testing Under Title Vii: Creating "Built In Headwinds" For The Civil Service Employer, Ellen Zweig Jan 1984

Challenges To Employment Testing Under Title Vii: Creating "Built In Headwinds" For The Civil Service Employer, Ellen Zweig

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Since the Supreme Court held in Griggs that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 prohibits employers from using employment selection systems which are not job-related or which act as "built in headwinds" for minorities, employment tests have been subject to more challenges in courtrooms. Since Griggs, courts have presumed employment tests challenged pursuant to Title VII to be invalid once the plaintiffs establish that the tests produce an adverse impact upon minorities. However, these courts have not suggested many alternative methods of testing and those that have been suggested are generally unworkable for employers who must comply …


The Federal Judiciary's Role In The Prevention Of Communicable Diseases In State Prisons , Anthony L. Paccione Jan 1984

The Federal Judiciary's Role In The Prevention Of Communicable Diseases In State Prisons , Anthony L. Paccione

Fordham Urban Law Journal

Control over the spread of communicable diseases in prisons is a particularly important goal. The prison setting compounded with the high incidence of disease among entering inmates creates a potent combination for the spread of communicable diseases, such as AIDS and tuberculosis. Insufficient state legislation and unresponsive prison administrators have forced prisoners to seek federal judicial relief. However, federal courts have been reluctant to intervene due to the state interests of federalism and separation of powers. The prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment is not limited to specific acts directed at selected individuals, but is equally applicable to general prison …


Retribution: New York's Answer To The Multiple Felony Offender, Edward P. Abbot Jan 1984

Retribution: New York's Answer To The Multiple Felony Offender, Edward P. Abbot

Fordham Urban Law Journal

On May 31, 1983, Governor Cuomo signed an amendment to the New York Penal Law into effect. This amendment significantly increases the maximum prison term for multiple felony offenders. This amendment is primarily a provision, which stems from a retributivist theory of punishment. The intent of this amendment is twofold: first, to do justice by implementing a punishment more proportionate to the severity of the offender's crime(s) and second, to incapacitate the offender by his extended removal from society. Retribution has been an accepted rationale for imposing punishment and remains so today. Thus, the statute deserves prompt judicial recognition.
