Kim V. United Am. Land Llc
All Decisions
Tenant filed HP motion seeking court order to correct HMC violations in interim multiple dwelling and seeks finding of harrassment by landlord. Court dismissed HP proceeding in part (but issued Order to Correct 2 HPD violations) because of prior proceeding pending before the NYC Loft Board. J. Bacdayan determined the Code DOES allow court to enforce HMC violations in interim multiple dwellings, disagreeing with ruling in Baer (71 MISC 3d 1125).
Making The Case For Law Tech, Janet Kearney
Making The Case For Law Tech, Janet Kearney
Staff Publications
As the concept of a “practice-ready” attorney continues to grow in both law firms and law schools, law school libraries are meeting this need by offering programming related to legal technology. In this article, a law librarian from the United States discusses their successes and failures in creating and maintaining legal technology programming, a first step in a larger conversation on practice-ready law graduates. This article is based on a June 2021 presentation given at the annual conference of the British and Irish Association of Law Librarians.

Subversive Legal Education:Reformist Steps Towardabolitionist Visions, Christina John, Russell G. Pearce, Aundray Jermaine Archer, Sarah Medina Camiscoli, Aron Pines, Maryam Salmanova, Vira Tarnavska
Fordham Law Review
Exclusivity in legal education divides traditional scholars, students, and impacted communities most disproportionately harmed by the legal education system. While traditional legal scholars tend to embrace traditional legal education, organic jurists—those who are historically excluded from legal education and those who educate themselves and their communities about their legal rights and realities—often reject the inaccessibility of legal education and its power. This Essay joins a team of community legal writers to imagine a set of principles for subversive legal education. Together, we—formerly incarcerated pro se litigants, paralegals for intergenerational movement lawyering initiatives, first-generation law students and lawyers, persons with years …

Policy By The People, For The People:Designing Responsiveregulation And Buildingdemocratic Power, Scott L. Cummings, Doug Smith
Fordham Law Review
Policymaking in American democracy is often a process that happens to people rather than by them. This is especially the case with respect to policy that affects people with less power in low-income communities and communities of color. Urban policy, in particular, has historically been driven by business elites and white homeowners’ interests, which have shaped exclusionary policies, such as redlining and single-family zoning— etching racial and economic segregation into the fabric of city space. Even when outsider interest groups and social movement organizations gain enough power to shape the policy agenda, give input into the content of policy, and …

Afrofuturism And The Law, I. Bennett Capers
Afrofuturism And The Law, I. Bennett Capers
Faculty Scholarship
Long before the film Black Panther captured the public’s imagination, the cultural critic Mark Dery coined the term “Afrofuturism” to describe “speculative fiction that treats African-American themes and addresses African-American concerns in the context of twentieth-century technoculture.” Since then, the term has been applied to speculative creatives as diverse as the pop artist Janelle Monae, the science fiction writer Octavia Butler, and the visual artist Nick Cave. But only recently have thinkers turned to how Afrofuturism might guide, and shape, law. This special issue, “Afrofuturism and the Law,” features articles that explore the many ways Afrofuturism can inform a range …
A Tale Of Two Civil Procedures, Pamela K. Bookman, Colleen F. Shanahan
A Tale Of Two Civil Procedures, Pamela K. Bookman, Colleen F. Shanahan
Faculty Scholarship
In the United States, there are two kinds of courts: federal and state. Civil procedure classes and scholarship tend to focus on the federal, but refer to and make certain assumptions about state courts. While this dichotomy makes sense when discussing some issues, like federal subject matter jurisdiction, for many aspects of procedure this breakdown can be misleading. When understanding American civil justice, two different categories of courts are just as salient: those that routinely include lawyers, and those where lawyers are fundamentally absent.
This essay urges civil procedure teachers and scholars to think about our courts as “lawyered” courts—which …
Nonprofit Board Composition, Atinuke O. Adediran
Nonprofit Board Composition, Atinuke O. Adediran
Faculty Scholarship
This Article addresses a critical gap in the literature and current debates about the composition of nonprofit boards. The law of fiduciary duties and nonprofit governance best practices do not provide sufficient guidance on how to compose boards to empower the communities they serve. And even as the corporate sector is seizing on current important moments to debate the inclusion of employees and racial and ethnic minorities on corporate boards, nonprofit boards are largely left out of these debates. The Article introduces the concept of board capital, which originated from the for-profit management literature, but has gained a stronghold in …
Traveling Judges, Alyssa S. King, Pamela K. Bookman
Traveling Judges, Alyssa S. King, Pamela K. Bookman
Faculty Scholarship
Around the world, domestic courts focused on commercial disputes hire foreign judges. The practice seems to resemble arbitration, but is also rooted in colonialism. These traveling judges are predominantly retired English judges hired by small, market-dominant jurisdictions, like Hong Kong or Dubai. The judges’ identities reveal efforts to harness business preferences for English common law into domestic court systems. While judges aspire to spread the rule of law, local politics may dictate these courts’ futures. This Article maps the practice of traveling judges and explores its implications.

Disclosures For Equity, Atinuke O. Adediran
Disclosures For Equity, Atinuke O. Adediran
Faculty Scholarship
This Article addresses how to increase funding to nonprofit organizations that are led by minorities or serve communities of color and how to hold corporations and private foundations who make public commitments to fund these organizations accountable for those commitments. The Article makes two policy recommendations to address these problems, while engaging with Supreme Court jurisprudence on mandatory disclosures to ensure that the proposals are narrowly tailored to institutional donors and include an opt-out provision so as not to chill the constitutional protection of the freedom of association. The first is for charities to publicly disclose their institutional donors in …

Negotiating Status: Pro Bono Partners And Counsels In Large Law Firms, Atinuke O. Adediran
Faculty Scholarship
Law firm pro bono work provides access to justice to low-income people and other vulnerable populations. The professionals that manage pro bono programs are at the forefront of that process. The limited available research on these professionals do not often distinguish lawyers from other managers or theorize about their status vis-à-vis other law firm lawyers. Yet the status of lawyers who are also managers of pro bono programs influences both their identities and the management and provision of legal services and advocacy. Drawing on original demographic and interview data, this article shows how law firm pro bono partners and counsels …
Lawyers And The Lies They Tell, Bruce A. Green, Rebecca Roiphe
Lawyers And The Lies They Tell, Bruce A. Green, Rebecca Roiphe
Faculty Scholarship
The law holds lawyers to a more demanding standard of conduct than others when it comes to aspects of their fiduciary relationships with courts and clients. For instance, states can sanction lawyers for some speech inside a courtroom that would be protected if uttered by a non-lawyer. This Article explores whether lawyers’ free speech rights should also be different from those of other speakers when lawyers, acting on their own behalf, participate in political discourse. Applying the current First Amendment framework, the authors question the bar’s assumption that, simply because lawyers are subject to rules of professional conduct, courts can …

Corporate Law's Forgotten Constituents: Reimagining Corporate Lawyering In Routine Business Contexts, Melissa E. Romanovich
Corporate Law's Forgotten Constituents: Reimagining Corporate Lawyering In Routine Business Contexts, Melissa E. Romanovich
Fordham Law Review
Although they are artificial entities, corporations are operated, managed, and represented by people. Sometimes, these people have personal interests at stake—interests that are separate and distinct from the corporation’s interests and that arise from these people acting in their corporate roles. These personal interests and related potential liabilities range from employment concerns and civil liability to criminal prosecution and imprisonment. Until now, however, the law has determined that, in most situations, a corporation’s lawyer neither represents the corporation’s constituents nor their personal interests. The corporate lawyer, therefore, has the challenging role of discharging the proper ethical and legal obligations to …

Jones V. New York City Hous. Auth.: Managed By Borinquen Plaza I Houses
All Decisions
In this illegal lock out case brought against NYCHA, the court declines to restore petitioner to possession. Here petitioner was the son of tenant of record who moved in to help his ailing mother over two years before the lock out occurred but never asked to be added to the household and “kept a low profile” although he did have limited interactions with NYCHA management. The court finds under recent AT, 2nd Dept caselaw that he lacks standing to be restored as a licencee, rejecting the HSTPA RPAPL 768 argument petitioner put forward.

J. Slade grants landlord’s motion for use and occupancy pendente lite from the date oral application was made in this 2018 non payment proceeding. Here a succession claim was asserted. The court noted this is a pre-HSTPA case but given unique history (lengthy APS delays, landlord’s motion for discovery) and sets use and occupancy at one third of respondent’s social security check amount. Ed Josephson sent an e mail about this case’s significance when it was sent last week in the Slip Op format and provided a practice advisory regarding it as the court here indicates it has discretion outside …

11-15 New Montrose Ave Tenant Assn V. 11-15 New Montrose Ave Hdfc
All Decisions
J. Stoller denies petitioner’s application for adjournment of trial so that they can seek summary judgment on harassment claim. The court goes into the history of the modern housing court with trial and resolution parts and notes that two weeks were set aside for the trial of this matter and appears rather outraged that despite this the petitioners waited until the morning of trial to let the court know they were not ready for the trial. The court, finding them not ready to proceed dismisses harassment claim.
