Attorneys As Gatekeepers To The Court: The Potential Liability Of Attorneys Bringing Suits Based On Recovered Memories Of Childhood Sexual Abuse, Cynthia Grant Bowman, Elizabeth Mertz

Hofstra Law Review

This Article examines the appropriate role of attorneys as gate­ keepers to the courts in suits involving recovered memories of child­ hood sexual abuse. Lawsuits brought by adults claiming that they had been sexually abused during childhood, but had forgotten the abuse until it emerged sometime later, are a relatively recent phenomenon. They surfaced only after the "discovery" of childhood sexual abuse and its construction as a social problem in the 1970s and 1980s and became feasible only when the legal system responded by extending the statutes of limitations applicable to such cases. Although many highly­ publicized cases have involved …

Caveat Lector: Conflicts Of Interest Of Ali Members In Drafting The Restatements, Monroe H. Freedman

Hofstra Law Review

The American Law Institute's reputation for impartial judgment in formulating Restatements of the Law has been compromised by conflicts of interest on the part of ALI members who vote on Restatement provisions. That is, there is a significant risk that the independent professional judgment of ALI members has been materially and adversely affected by the interests of members' clients and by the members' own interests. As a result, no judge, scholar, or student can rely on a Restatement rule or comment as representing the objective judgment of ALI members, unaffected by the partisanship of advocates who are creating precedents to …

Measuring Progress; Evaluating The Strengthening Of Communities, Phil Bartle

Evaluation/Reflection

Our goal is stated; we want to strengthen communities. We feel that we have a methodology to do so, but how can we know when we have succeeded, or to what extent?

What we may mean by the above question, is, "How do we measure the strengthening of communities that we claim we are doing?" Put in other ways, "What do we mean by strengthening communities, by increasing their capacities, by empowering them?" We can use these three (1 empowering, 2 strengthening, 3 capacity building) interchangeably, although one or another may be more acceptable to different people. …

The "Power Of Appraisal" (Pouvoir D'Appreciation) Of The Commission Of The European Communities Vis-À-Vis The Powers Of Judicial Review Of The Communities' Court Of Justice And Court Of First Instance, Virpi Tiili, Jan Vanhamme

Fordham International Law Journal

It is, therefore, clear that the Courts must test the soundness of the Commission's appraisals. This means, however, that judges are obliged to examine the administrative file, thereby inevitably bringing themselves intellectually close to building their own bridge from the facts, via the legal framework of the case, to a legal outcome in casu. In some instances, it may prove almost impossible to disguise the conflict between the Court’s and the Commission's assessments in the judgment, especially if annulment or damages is the outcome of the case. It is in this regard that an appropriate balance must be found between …
