Omission And Nondisclosure Under Sed Rule 10b-5: A Distinction In Search Of A Difference, George O. Richardson, Iii

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Note addresses a key element of Rule 10b-5 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934: causation.

Discretionarily Enhanced Sentences Based Upon Suspected Perjury At Trial , Robert M. Wetterer Jan 1979

Discretionarily Enhanced Sentences Based Upon Suspected Perjury At Trial , Robert M. Wetterer

Fordham Urban Law Journal

A judge's discretion is a vital aspect of our judicial system. However, a judge must be cognizant of the impact that his decisions and his beliefs have upon a defendant's constitutional rights. This note addresses the concern of judges enhancing sentencing of defendants convicted of a crime because the judges feel that at trial, the defendant may have committed perjury. Ultimately, it is important that the defendant not be penalized without a proper trial or proceeding to determine whether or not perjury actually occurred. In doing so, rights are protected and justice is served.

Torts 1978 Survey Of New York Law: Part Five: Miscellaneous, Michael M. Martin Jan 1979

Torts 1978 Survey Of New York Law: Part Five: Miscellaneous, Michael M. Martin

Faculty Scholarship

The principal torts decisions this Survey year, especially in the products liability area, seemed to leave as many questions unanswered as they resolved. The Court of Appeals held that a noncontracting user's claim for injuries from a defective product sounded in tort for limitations purposes, but the Court did not decide what limitation period would be applicable if a statutory breach of warranty claim were also asserted. The contributory negligence defense to a strict products liability claim was upheld by a reference to the appellate division's opinion in a second-collision case.

Charles D. Breitel - Judging In The Grand Style, Thomas Mayo Jan 1978

Charles D. Breitel - Judging In The Grand Style, Thomas Mayo

Fordham Law Review

When Chief Judge Charles D. Breitel retires from the New York Court of Appeals in December 1978, he will leave a legacy of judicial work that spans two and one-half decades, the last eleven years of which will have been a product of his years on New York's highest court. The process of sifting through not only the Chief Judge's many opinions but also his extrajudicial comments has no doubt begun in earnest in a number of quarters. This Article represents an initial attempt to evaluate Chief Judge Breitel's craftmanship as an appellate decisionmaker.
