Legal Professional Privilege In Competition Proceedings Before The European Commission: Beyond The Cursory Glance, Eric Gippini-Fournier
Legal Professional Privilege In Competition Proceedings Before The European Commission: Beyond The Cursory Glance, Eric Gippini-Fournier
Fordham International Law Journal
Although set against the background of investigations by the European Commission in proceedings for the application of the main competition rules of the EU, the discussion remains at the level of broad principles. The driving notion of this article is that the basis and ratio for judicial recognition of a privileged communications doctrine in EU law must be defined explicitly, and that this definition may have important consequences as to the scope and practical administrability of the doctrine. Part I explores the principal rationales usually claimed for the privilege: the utilitarian view and the rights-based approach. This discussion serves as …
A Practitioner's Reflections: The Ongoing Relevance Of The Pro Bono Response To 9/11, Ronald J. Tabak
A Practitioner's Reflections: The Ongoing Relevance Of The Pro Bono Response To 9/11, Ronald J. Tabak
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article discusses the pro bono response to the horrendous events of 9/11 and its ongoing importance. This is not simply because these efforts could replicated or improved on as a response in the event of another catastrophe. More importantly, what was and was not accomplished and by whom, plus the spillover effects of 9/11-related pro bono efforts, all have great significance to efforts to increase "regular” pro bono activities.
Normalcy After 9/11: Public Service As The Crisis Fades, Russell Engler
Normalcy After 9/11: Public Service As The Crisis Fades, Russell Engler
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The legal community's response to 9/11 was fast, thoughtful, comprehensive, creative, and collaborative. The success of the legal community's efforts must be measured not only by analysis of the response to the 9/11 crisis itself, but also by consideration of whether the lessons learned paved the way for an improved response for the legal community to the legal crises facing families every day. The Report on the New York City Bar's response to 9/11 outlined unmet legal needs, many of which still remain unmet. There is also a risk that those responding to the crisis were diverted from attending to …
Should Public Relations Experts Ever Be Privileged Persons?, Deniza Gertsberg
Should Public Relations Experts Ever Be Privileged Persons?, Deniza Gertsberg
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Comment addresses the issue of whether, and under what circumstances, a lawyer’s communications with a public relations expert, whose advice is only valuable to the extent that it is communicated fully and freely with the attorney, will be protected by the attorney-client privilege. This Comment focuses on the role of public relations firms in the criminal law context, where constitutional concerns often arise. The author begins by laying out the history and background of the attorney-client privilege, and how the defense lawyer’s role has changed as a result of the rise of mass media. The Comment then goes on …
Leaders, Followers, And Free Riders: The Community Lawyer's Dilemma When Representing Non-Democratic Client Organizations, Michael Diamond, Aaron O'Toole
Leaders, Followers, And Free Riders: The Community Lawyer's Dilemma When Representing Non-Democratic Client Organizations, Michael Diamond, Aaron O'Toole
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article explores various aspects of the dissonance between the democratic ideal and the reality of groups in disenfranchised and disempowered communities. The authors discuss the intersection of democracy and community action by examining the sociology of groups and the social psychology of leaders and followers. They also examine the role of, and choices presented to, an attorney working in a community and for a local community group.
Public Service In A Time Of Crisis: A Report And Retrospective On The Legal Community's Response To The Events Of September 11, 2001
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The attacks on September 11, 2001 were unprecedented in scope, and the legal needs that grew out of the attacks were varied and far-reaching. This report summarizes the response of the legal community to these needs. The response was fast, thoughtful, comprehensive, and creative. And as a result, thousands of people were helped and thousands of lawyers were able to use their professional talents and skills in a manner that both led to important services being provided to people in need and resulted in great personal satisfaction. In response to 9/11, the institutions that make up the New York area …
Preparing For The Worst: Re-Envisioning Disaster Legal Relief In The Era Of Homeland Security, Martha F. Davis
Preparing For The Worst: Re-Envisioning Disaster Legal Relief In The Era Of Homeland Security, Martha F. Davis
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The New York legal community's response to the September 11th disaster provides an excellent example of pro bono assistance in a time of crisis. The New York response featured many well-trained lawyers with extensive resources and organizational efforts from the New York City bar. However, not all communities have the same resources and ability to mobilize for a large pro bono effort in response to a disaster. While the New York response was impressive, a lasting effect on pro bono participation or an improvement in the public's perception of the legal profession has not resulted. This essay explores whether, despite …
Broadening The Holistic Mindset: Incorporating Collateral Consequences And Reenty Into Criminal Defense Lawyering, Michael Pinard
Broadening The Holistic Mindset: Incorporating Collateral Consequences And Reenty Into Criminal Defense Lawyering, Michael Pinard
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Over the past two decades, public defender offices across the country have broadened the range of defense services provided to indigent clients. These expanded services, some of which involve representing clients on related non-criminal matters such as housing and public benefits, are included in what is now commonly referred to as "holistic representation."' This form of representation strives to encompass the various underlying issues that often lead to clients’ experiences with the criminal justice system, with the aim of addressing those circumstances and preventing future criminal involvement. Holistic representation signals a paradigmatic shift in defense philosophy and ideology and has …

The Treaty Establishing A Constitution For Europe, Jeremy Lever
The Treaty Establishing A Constitution For Europe, Jeremy Lever
Fordham International Law Journal
This Article contains some reflections concerning the Draft Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe (“the Draft Treaty”), which was approved by the European Council on September 28, 2004 and formally signed in Rome on October 29, 2004. At the time of writing in early 2005, it is presently in the process of ratification by the twenty-five Member States of the European Union (“EU”). The Article is primarily concerned with the extent to which the Treaty is a constitution, and its merits and demerits as such. It does not go in any depth into the political desirability of some of the …
Refuge In An Insecure Time: Seeking Asylum In The Post-9/11 United States, Eleanor Acer
Refuge In An Insecure Time: Seeking Asylum In The Post-9/11 United States, Eleanor Acer
Fordham International Law Journal
The current climate of insecurity has in a sense presented an opportunity for those with restrictive immigration agendas to use a new vocabulary to advance long desired objectives as well as new policies that sacrifice fairness and negatively affect immigrants. The result has been a decline in due process and the undermining of basic protections of international refugee and human rights law, including: the prohibition on arbitrary detention, embodied in Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights; the prohibition on returning a refugee to persecution, the cornerstone of the 1951 Convention Relating to the Status of …
Religious Lawyering In A Liberal Democracy: A Challenge And An Invitation William A. Brahms Lecture On Law & Religion, Russell G. Pearce
Religious Lawyering In A Liberal Democracy: A Challenge And An Invitation William A. Brahms Lecture On Law & Religion, Russell G. Pearce
Faculty Scholarship
At a time when many believe that law is no longer a noble profession, many lawyers see no reason to devote time and energy to promoting the public good. Religious lawyering may offer a powerful antidote: a robust framework for lawyers to integrate into their professional lives their most deeply rooted values, perspectives and critiques, and persuasive reasons to improve the quality of justice and work for the common good. At its best, religious lawyering echoes Martin Luther King's advice to the street sweeper. How wonderful it would be, indeed, if we practiced law so well that the host of …
Mississippi Class Actions And The Inevitability Of Mass Aggregate Litigation, Howard M. Erichson
Mississippi Class Actions And The Inevitability Of Mass Aggregate Litigation, Howard M. Erichson
Faculty Scholarship
It's not about whether there will be mass aggregate litigation, but how. As long as the economy features mass marketing, mass employment, mass entertainment, mass transportation, mass production of goods, and mass provision of services, disputes will arise in which a mass of claimants seek relief from a common defendant or set of defendants. Lawyers on both sides naturally handle such matters collectively rather than individually. With or without the judicial imprimatur of class certification, multi- claimant disputes routinely are litigated and resolved on a collective basis. The real question is not whether there will be mass litigation, but whether …

Homeless Legal Advocacy: New Challenges And Directions For The Future, L. Hafetz
Homeless Legal Advocacy: New Challenges And Directions For The Future, L. Hafetz
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Article examines the role of lawyers for homeless people. It argues that while even the most zealous legal advocacy cannot alone solve homelessness, it remains an important tool because of the assistance it provides to individuals, its impact on broader legal rules, and its potential role in shaping public perception and debate. The Article also maintains that legal advocacy works best when combined with a holistic approach that addresses homeless clients' non-legal needs, such as housing placement, case management, medical and psychiatric care, job training, and substance abuse counseling. It further argues that, to the extent possible, lawyers for …

Women In Shari'ah Courts: A Historical And Methodological Discussion, Amira Sonbol
Fordham International Law Journal
This Article focuses on qadis and courts before modern legal reforms with particular emphasis on the life of women and their interaction with the courts. A number of issues will be discussed and points made pertaining to the laws and madhahib [Islamic legal schools] applied in courts, the hierarchies and roles of qadis, and the accessibility of the legal system and knowledge of court procedures to the general public. Court culture, personnel, and record-keeping will also be discussed, as will the philosophy behind the law. The author hopes to illustrate that a viable court system existed before modernization. Although precedent …
