Did Five Supreme Court Justices Go "Completely Bonkers"?: Saul Goodman, Legal Advertising, And The First Amendment Since Bates V. State Bar Of Arizona, Eric T. Kasper, Troy A. Kozma

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

In Bates v. State Bar of Arizona (1977), the U.S. Supreme Court held for the first time that the First and Fourteenth Amendments' protection of the freedom of speech extends to truthful advertising of attorneys' services. The ruling set aside decades of ethics rules that had prohibited lawyers from engaging in this type of marketing that bar associations had deemed predatory and beneath the stature of the profession. Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is a pop culture representation of what legal advertising has become, both reflecting and shaping public perception of legal commercial publicity. But are …

The Design Patent Bar: An Occupational Licensing Failure, Christopher Buccafusco, Jeanne C. Curtis

Cardozo Arts & Entertainment Law Journal

Although any attorney can represent clients with complex property, tax, or administrative issues, only a certain class of attorneys can assist with obtaining and challenging patents before the United States Patent & Trademark Office (PTO). Only those who are members of the PTO's patent bar can prosecute patents, and eligibility for the patent bar is only available to people with substantial scientific or engineering credentials. However much sense the eligibility rules make for utility patents-those based on novel scientific or technical inventions-they are completely irrational when applied to design patents-those based on ornamental or aesthetic industrial design. Nevertheless, the PTO …

Abolish Ice . . . And Then What?, Peter L. Markowitz

Articles

In recent years, activists and then politicians began calling for the abolition of the United States’s interior immigration-enforcement agency: U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Many people have misinterpreted the call to “Abolish ICE” as merely a spontaneous rhetorical device used to express outrage at the current Administration’s brutal immigration policies. In fact, abolishing ICE is the natural extension of years of thoughtful organizing by a loose coalition of grassroots immigrant-rights groups. These organizations are serious, not only about their literal goal to eliminate the agency, but also about not replacing it with another dedicated agency of immigration police. Accordingly, …

Universal Representation, Lindsay Nash

Articles

In an era in which there is little good news for immigrant communities and even holding the line has become an ambitious goal, one progressive project has continued to gain steam: the movement to provide universal representation for noncitizens in removal proceedings. This effort, initially born out of a pilot project in New York City, has generated a host of replication projects throughout the nation and holds the promise of even broader expansion. But as it grows, this effort must confront challenges from within: the sort-of supporters who want to limit this representation system's coverage in a number of ways, …

The Narrative Of Costs, The Cost Of Narrative, Alexander A. Reinert

Cardozo Law Review

In this Article, I will highlight some of my concerns, but they boil down to this: in terms of diagnosis, I am simply not convinced that Judge Marrero has compellingly demonstrated that in the run of cases, our procedural rules are being abused in ways that undermine justice and increase cost and inefficiencies. In part, this is a data-driven critique-there is little empirical support for the proposition that our procedural system is too costly in most cases. But my critique is also an attitudinal one. Judge Marrero makes much of the extent to which litigants fail-claims that are dismissed, motions …

Union Co-Ops And The Revival Of Labor Law, Ariana R. Levinson

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This article, as the first to identify and suggest solutions for the numerous labor law issues that must be addressed when establishing a union co-op, contributes to the existing literature on workerownership and cooperative economics. This article proceeds in four sections. The first section provides background about what union co-ops are, why unionization makes sense in the co-op setting, and the initiative to scale up union cooperatives. The second section, drawing on original interview data, provides background about the Cincinnati Union Co-op Initiative and Our Harvest, the first union worker-owned co-op that the Cincinnati Union Co-op Initiative incubated. The third …

Selling Attorney's Fees, Anthony J. Sebok

Articles

Attorneys in the United States are under increasing pressure to change and adopt practices commonly found in the world of finance and business. Over the past thirty years, the bar and legal academics have debated what to do; the focus of this debate has been whether to change Model Rule of Professional Conduct 5.4 to allow partnerships between attorneys and nonlawyers or partnerships owned by nonlawyer shareholders.

One of the reasons attorneys are debating changes to Rule 5.4 is that the practice of law depends on capital, and the old methods for raising capital are no longer sufficient. Rather than …

Piloting Personhood: Reflections From The First Year Of A Supported Decision-Making Project, Kristin Booth Glen

Cardozo Law Review

The amazing Symposium on Personhood and Civic Engagement by People with Disabilities included a variety of perspectives: legal, cultural, historical, philosophical, and educational, including a panel on "Legal Barriers to Personhood" from which this article was derived. Despite legal analysis, theory, and even description, there was little "in the weeds" discussion of how personhood can actually be protected and preserved for persons with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD).1 Locating personhood within the human right of legal capacity, and positing guardianship in diametric opposition, this Article attempts to describe some of the lessons I have learned in the first year of …
