The "Foreign Agent Problem": An International Legal Solution To Domestic Restrictions On Non-Governmental Organizations, Jacqueline Van De Velde

Cardozo Law Review

The United States' Foreign Agent Registration Act (FARA), has recently come into the spotlight due to its use in the ongoing Russian election interference investigation. But the United States 'foreign agent restriction is only one of many: while FARA was the first of its kind, it now exists among a multitude of such restrictions. Too, the U.S. foreign agent restriction is lenient, compared to the restrictions appearing in other countries- restrictions that now are crippling civil society and to which international law is ill-equipped to respond. This Article analyzes this sudden avalanche of 'foreign agent" legislation: restrictive domestic legislation that …

Conspiracy: Contemporary Gang Policing And Prosecutions, Keegan Stephan

Cardozo Law Review

Part I of this Note reviews gang policing before Morales, explains the vagueness, equal protection, and policy and custom doctrines that helped shape gang policing, and details the practices of contemporary gang policing. Part II argues that contemporary gang policing violates equal protection under the innovative showing of discriminatory intent found in Floyd v. City of New York, and that contemporary gang policing violates both prongs of the vagueness doctrine when viewed in its totality-at least where it is proscribed by statute. Part III notes that the vagueness doctrine has historically been applied only to statutory law and …

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, …

How Strong Does The Evidence Against Kavanaugh Need To Be?, Katherine A. Shaw

Online Publications

The allegation made by Christine Blasey Ford — that at age 15 she was the victim of a sexual assault by a 17-year-old Brett Kavanaugh — has not only upended Judge Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court confirmation hearings, but has also left Americans wondering what standards should apply to an accusation like this.

Criminal Employment Law, Benjamain Levin

Cardozo Law Review

This Article diagnoses a phenomenon, "criminal employment law," which exists at the nexus of employment law and the criminal justice system. Courts and legislatures discourage employers from hiring workers with criminal records and encourage employers to discipline workers for non-work-related criminal misconduct. In analyzing this phenomenon, my goals are threefold: (1) to examine how criminal employment law works; (2) to hypothesize why criminal employment law has proliferated; and (3) to assess what is wrong with criminal employment law. This Article examines the ways in which the laws that govern the workplace create incentives for employers not to hire individuals with …

The Institutions Of Innocence Review: A Comparative Sociological Perspective, Jessica A. Roth

Articles

The last three decades have seen the rise of an international innocence movement that has forced participants in diverse criminal justice systems to confront their systems’ fallibility, previously thought more theoretical than real. The public acknowledgment of that fallibility has led to the creation of new institutional mechanisms to re-examine old convictions. This short essay prepared for a symposium issue of the Rutgers University Law Review on the theory of criminal law reform compares the error correction institutions created in the United Kingdom, Canada, and the United States, three English-speaking countries with common law roots and an adversarial structure, through …

Framed By Forensics: Fulfilling Daubert's Gatekeeping Function By Segregating Science From The Adversarial Model, Kayla Marie Mannucci

Cardozo Law Review

The note argues that flawed forensic expert testimony significantly contributes to wrongful convictions, undermining the criminal justice system's objective to acquit the innocent. It highlights how partisan bias, lack of scientific validation, and inadequate judicial gatekeeping under Daubert v. Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc. have led to the admission of unreliable forensic evidence. The note proposes a reform: requiring neutral, court-appointed experts in high-stakes forensic cases to ensure objective testimony and prevent partisan bias.

Take Me Out Of The Ballgame, Take Me Out To The Free Market: An Analysis Of Midterm Contract Renegotiation In Major League Baseball, Aaron Bretter

Cardozo International & Comparative Law Review

The note argues that mid-term contract renegotiations in Major League Baseball (MLB) should be permitted under specific legal doctrines, such as efficient breach, changed circumstances, and duress. It advocates for a more dynamic and equitable system where player compensation aligns with current performance, balancing fairness for players and practical considerations for teams. While the theory of efficient breach is intriguing, the doctrine of changed circumstances is posited as the most viable legal remedy for renegotiation, particularly when a player's performance significantly exceeds initial expectations.

The Influence Of Government Defenders On Affirmative Civil Rights Enforcement, Alexander A. Reinert

Articles

The federal government — in particular the Department of Justice — can be one of the most efficient and powerful vindicators of civil rights, while simultaneously one of the most effective advocates for imposing barriers to affirmative civil rights enforcement. At the same time that the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division (CRD) is entering federal court to vindicate important rights, attorneys in the Civil Division (either from Main Justice or in any number of U.S. Attorney’s offices) are appearing in court to prevent the same. No doubt a similar pattern can be observed in certain state governments that have active affirmative …
