Regulating Immigration Legal Service Provider: In Adequate Representation And Notario Fraud, Careen Shannon Jan 2009

Regulating Immigration Legal Service Provider: In Adequate Representation And Notario Fraud, Careen Shannon

Fordham Law Review

Immigrants are often easy prey for bogus or incompetent attorneys, "notarios," scam artists, and other bad actors who take advantage of immigrants' limited knowledge of U.S. law, lack of English fluency, and lack of cultural knowledge to charge exorbitant fees for wild promises of green cards and citizenship that the bad actors annot-or in some cases never inteded to-deliver. Such exploitation is merely a symptom, however, of the larger prolem of inadequate access to competent legal counsel by foreign nationals seeking to navigate our labyrinthine scheme of immigration laws, regulations, and policies. ontrary to popular belief, not all of these …


The Attorney-Client Privilege And Information Disclosed To An Attorney With The Intention That The Attorney Draft A Document To Be Released To Third Parties: Public Policy Calls For At Least The Strictest Application Of The Attorney-Client Privilege, Daniel Northrop Jan 2009

The Attorney-Client Privilege And Information Disclosed To An Attorney With The Intention That The Attorney Draft A Document To Be Released To Third Parties: Public Policy Calls For At Least The Strictest Application Of The Attorney-Client Privilege, Daniel Northrop

Fordham Law Review

The attorney-client privilege is the oldest evidentiary privilege known to the common law. It exists to encourage clients to openly communicate with their attorneys. Some commentators, however, have questioned the value of the privilege and called for its elimination. This policy debate, though unlikely to influence typical privilege disputes, is important when the application of the attorney-client privilege is unclear. One example is when a client conveys information to her attorney with the intent that the attorney draft a document to be released to a third party. This Note seeks to shed light on the arguments for and against the …

The Intersection Of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 And The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Suzanne Solomon Jan 2008

The Intersection Of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 And The Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, Suzanne Solomon

Fordham Law Review

This Note reviews the history, structure, and purpose of 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It then describes how the two statutes intersect and interact. Next, this Note examines the existing split in the U.S. Courts of Appeals regarding the availability of § 1983 as a remedy for violations of the IDEA. This Note ultimately contends that Congress intended § 1983 suits to prevail under the IDEA and argues that school districts will be deterred from violating the statute's provisions if such suits are allowed to proceed.

The Progress Of Women Lawyers At Big Firms: Steadied Or Simply Studied?, Judith S. Kaye, Anne C. Reddy Jan 2008

The Progress Of Women Lawyers At Big Firms: Steadied Or Simply Studied?, Judith S. Kaye, Anne C. Reddy

Fordham Law Review

In the twenty years since now-Chief Judge Judith S. Kaye published her essay on women lawyers in big firms, interest in the subject has mushroomed, as the profession continues to grapple with issues of gender equity. This update reflects voluminous new literature and looks behind the statistics to find fresh efforts and pathways to solutions that can benefit women as well as the profession generally.


Revisiting The Legal Standards That Govern Requests To Sterilize Profoundly Incompetent Children: In Light Of The "Ashley Treatment," Is A New Standard Appropriate?, Christine Ryan Jan 2008

Revisiting The Legal Standards That Govern Requests To Sterilize Profoundly Incompetent Children: In Light Of The "Ashley Treatment," Is A New Standard Appropriate?, Christine Ryan

Fordham Law Review

This Note discusses the recent controversy surrounding a six-year-old girl named Ashley, whose parents chose to purposefully stunt her growth and remove her reproductive organs for nonmedical reasons. A federal investigation determined that Ashley’s rights had been violated because doctors performed the procedure, now referred to as the “Ashley Treatment,” without first obtaining a court order. However, the investigation did not make any conclusions regarding whether the “Ashley Treatment” could present a legally permissible treatment option in the future. After discussing the constitutional rights that the “Ashley Treatment” implicates and the current legal standards in place, this Note examines how …


Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus Jan 2007

Circuit Split Or A Matter Of Semantics? The Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision On Rule 10b-5 "Scheme Liability" And Its Implications For Tax Shelter Fraud Litigation, Mark S. Pincus

Fordham Law Review

After Internal Revenue Service investigations exposed widespread fraud among tax shelter promoters, angry investors sued for securities fraud under Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 10b-5, which provides a cause of action against “primary violators” of the Rule but not against mere “aiders and abettors.” This controversial distinction is further complicated by the recent introduction of “scheme liability” lawsuits under two previously obscure provisions of Rule 10b-5. This Note examines the circuit split over the “primary violator”/“aider and abettor” distinction in scheme liability claims, arguing that the circuits' conflicting concepts of scheme liability actually cover similar conduct, and that tax shelter …
