Money Can't Buy You Love: Valuing Contributions By Nonresidential Fathers, Laurie S. Kohn Jan 2015

Money Can't Buy You Love: Valuing Contributions By Nonresidential Fathers, Laurie S. Kohn

Brooklyn Law Review

Family law in the United States reflects and reinforces expectations about how fathers should interact with their children. Those expectations betray the legal system’s valuation of paternal roles in which financial contributions far outweigh other types of caretaking. This differential valuation, though advantageous to the overall wellbeing of some children, negatively affects low-income families, exacerbates cultural and societal pressures that drive men from being engaged parents, and compels mothers who seek paternal engagement to parent alone. As the populations of absent fathers and of fathers who are unable to meet their child support obligations increase, it is worth reevaluating the …


The Liar And The Loophole: Corporate Character Evidence And Impeachment, Geoffrey M. Stannard Jan 2015

The Liar And The Loophole: Corporate Character Evidence And Impeachment, Geoffrey M. Stannard

Brooklyn Law Review

The Federal Rules of Evidence limit the use of propensity character evidence to specific instances, including the impeachment of a witness. The character evidence rules focus textually on individuals, and it is unclear whether they apply to corporations. This note examines whether Rule 404, which prohibits propensity character evidence, and Rule 608, which makes an exception for the purposes of impeachment, apply to corporations. It explores whether corporations can possess character for the purposes of the Rules, examines how corporate vicarious testimony affects impeachment, and investigates whether the rationales for the character evidence rules are applicable to corporations. This note …


Defaulting The Purpose: The Future Of Foreign Sovereign Debt Restructuring In The Wake Of Argentina's Debt Crisis, Alexandria L. Todd Jan 2015

Defaulting The Purpose: The Future Of Foreign Sovereign Debt Restructuring In The Wake Of Argentina's Debt Crisis, Alexandria L. Todd

Brooklyn Law Review

The Second Circuit’s ruling in NML Capital, Ltd. v. Republic of Argentina, a case in which wealthy creditors sued Argentina for the repayment of defaulted debt bonds under New York law, sought to prevent Argentina from paying back creditors that accepted restructured bonds unless it also paid back holdout bondholders equally. This decision was the subject of much criticism and scholarly debate because it was one of the first instances of a court granting specific performance based on a pari passu, or equal footing, clause. While the court hoped that the creative relief would pressure Argentina into paying …


If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, It's Going To Ask For Your Personally Identifiable Information, Julia N. Mehlman Jan 2015

If You Give A Mouse A Cookie, It's Going To Ask For Your Personally Identifiable Information, Julia N. Mehlman

Brooklyn Law Review

The rise of technology and the Internet has made it increasingly difficult for people to maintain anonymity both online and offline. Although many people give out their personal information willingly, others, who do not intend for their personal information to be collected or sold, become unknowing targets of data brokers. This note examines data brokers and how their growing presence positively and negatively impacts our twenty-first century society. The lack of transparency and regulation surrounding the data-collection industry raises concerns about deception and under-the-table practices, which cloud individuals’ judgment about the trustworthiness of companies that buy and sell data. In …


A Derivative In Need: Rescuing U.S. Security-Based Swaps From The Race To The Bottom, Thomas J. Mccartin Jan 2015

A Derivative In Need: Rescuing U.S. Security-Based Swaps From The Race To The Bottom, Thomas J. Mccartin

Brooklyn Law Review

Over the past 30 years, the development and proliferation of new financial instruments has provided investors with fresh and innovative methods to gain exposure to foreign markets, hedge investments, and capitalize on speculation opportunities. These “derivatives” have increased the interconnectedness of investors all over the globe, and in particular, the derivative known as the “security-based swap” has facilitated cross-border investments that were previously impracticable, yet greatly sought after. These financial advancements came at a price, however, and in 2007 and 2008, a lack of regulation over derivatives that led to a global financial crisis and spurred a widespread public desire …


Breaching And Entering: When Data Scraping Should Be A Federal Computer Hacking Crime, Myra F. Din Jan 2015

Breaching And Entering: When Data Scraping Should Be A Federal Computer Hacking Crime, Myra F. Din

Brooklyn Law Review

The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) is a federal statute designed to combat computer hacking. The Act proscribes accessing data without authorization. Federal circuits have interpreted “authorization” both broadly and narrowly, resulting in a circuit split. Whereas the First, Fifth, and Eleventh Circuits have held that misuse of computer access can constitute hacking under the CFAA, the Fourth and Ninth Circuits have held that scrapers must circumvent a code or technical barrier in order to satisfy the CFAA’s mens rea requirement. This note focuses on the conduct of data scrapers. Scrapers are computer programs that aggregate data from various …


Is The Constitution Laissez-Faire?: The Framers, Original Meaning, And The Market, Stephen M. Feldman Jan 2015

Is The Constitution Laissez-Faire?: The Framers, Original Meaning, And The Market, Stephen M. Feldman

Brooklyn Law Review

Numerous scholars, as well as the conservative justices on the Roberts Court, are market fundamentalists. They believe that the United States should have minimal government and a largely unregulated economic marketplace. Often, these same scholars and Justices claim to follow an originalist interpretation of the Constitution. This article examines the historical evidence and concludes that the framers and their contemporaries did not intend to create a laissez-faire political-economic system. The framers were pragmatic realists who sought to construct a stable and workable government system that would mediate the conflict between private passions and interests, on the one side, and public …


Justice Scalia's Hat Trick And The Supreme Court's Flawed Understanding Of Twenty-First Century Arbitration, Jill I. Gross Jan 2015

Justice Scalia's Hat Trick And The Supreme Court's Flawed Understanding Of Twenty-First Century Arbitration, Jill I. Gross

Brooklyn Law Review

The Supreme Court has decided more than two dozen cases—arising primarily from commercial, consumer, employment, and securities disputes—under the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) since 2000. Those decisions, particularly those interpreting FAA section 2, have contributed to the Court’s modern arbitration jurisprudence, which creates a strong national policy favoring arbitration, enforces agreements to arbitrate against virtually any defense, pushes many individual claims into arbitration against the will of one or more parties, and suppresses other claims, particularly those of small dollar value. Yet those decisions describe the arbitration process as practiced when Congress enacted the FAA in 1925, not the process …


Let's Clear The Air: Regulating Electronic Cigarette Use In New York City, Sarah L. Hernandez Jan 2015

Let's Clear The Air: Regulating Electronic Cigarette Use In New York City, Sarah L. Hernandez

Brooklyn Law Review

On April 29, 2014, New York City passed Local Law 152, which amended the city’s existing antismoking legislation to require users of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) to abide by the same restrictions as traditional cigarette smokers. This note focuses on New York City’s legislation as a useful study on the effective regulation of e-cigarettes within a context of the devices’ uncertain health implications and the complex social dynamics regarding their use. It proposes that if the courts ultimately find Local Law 152 invalid, the New York City Council should fold e-cigarette products and usage within the current legislative definitions of “tobacco …
