Toward A Model Whistleblowing Law, John D. Feerick Jan 1992

Toward A Model Whistleblowing Law, John D. Feerick

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The current state and local whistleblowing laws in New York provide inadequate protection for employees against employer retaliation in the public and private sector. These laws must be reformed so that employees can enjoy sufficient protection from employer retaliation, and so that a high standard of fairness, responsibility and honesty can be promoted throughout New York State and New York City.

Alfadda V. Fenn: Shifting The Standard For Applying U.S. Statutes To Predominantly Non-U.S. Transactions, Tara Ann Carroll Jan 1992

Alfadda V. Fenn: Shifting The Standard For Applying U.S. Statutes To Predominantly Non-U.S. Transactions, Tara Ann Carroll

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment argues that the Second Circuit, in Alfadda v. Fenn, properly held that the district court had subject matter jurisdiction over a controversy involving few U.S. activities and actors because the actors engaged in significant conduct in the United States. Part I examines the principles and pertinent case law governing the extraterritorial application of the civil RICO statute. Part II describes the facts and procedural his- tory of Alfadda v. Fenn, detailing the district court's denial of subject matter jurisdiction and the Second Circuit's subse- quent reversal. Part III argues that the Second Circuit cor- rectly applied the existing …


Cartels: Proof And Procedural Issues, Maurice Guerrin, Georgios Kyriazis Jan 1992

Cartels: Proof And Procedural Issues, Maurice Guerrin, Georgios Kyriazis

Fordham International Law Journal

The above considerations demonstrate, however, the importance of the questions regarding the nature and the scope of admissible cartel evidence, especially in regard to the issues of due process in general and of the obligation to safeguard the rights of the defense against the prosecution in particular. Obviously, the fundamental principle governing these issues is commonly known and universally accepted: no one can be prosecuted or condemned without concrete evidence of the infringement of which the defendant is accused. The legal and procedural requirements concerning cartel evidence are therefore closely related to the powers of investigation entrusted to the EC …


The New Germany And The New Europe. Edited By Paul B. Stares, Gregory F. Hauser Jan 1992

The New Germany And The New Europe. Edited By Paul B. Stares, Gregory F. Hauser

Fordham International Law Journal

The Brookings Institution's new book, The New Germany and the New Europe, is an attempt along these lines. Actually a collection of twelve scholarly papers, it is an in-depth examination of the roiled political and economic currents that washed away the Berlin Wall and the rest of the Iron Curtain and continue to affect the flow of so much of current events. There are two more substantive shortcomings that pervade the book. The first of these; to be fair, the book shares with many of the policy debates that presently occur on the planet: a persistent failure to consider the …


The North American Free Trade Agreement: The Need To Protect Transboundary Water Resources, Farah Khakee Jan 1992

The North American Free Trade Agreement: The Need To Protect Transboundary Water Resources, Farah Khakee

Fordham International Law Journal

This Comment argues that because NAFTA and the IEP do not safeguard environmental interests adequately, additional measures need to be taken to preserve and prevent pollution of transboundary water resources. Part I of this Comment discusses the present status of customary international law, existing treaties, and national environmental laws that govern international water pollution abatement and its judicial enforcement. This part specifically addresses liability under the U.S. Federal Water Pollution Control Act, commonly known as the Clean Water Act (the "CWA").20 Part II discusses aspects of evolving international law, NAFTA, and the IEP with respect to transboundary environmental resources. Part …


Pietro S. Nivola, Regulating Unfair Trade, Victor Essien Jan 1992

Pietro S. Nivola, Regulating Unfair Trade, Victor Essien

Fordham International Law Journal

In his earlier work, Nivola displayed his ability to urge acceptance of controversial viewpoints. In his most recent work, Regulating Unfair Trade,' Mr. Nivola has outdone himself. Even those who disagree with some of his analyses and conclusions will acknowledge that his views are informed and balanced. Furthermore, his presentation is thorough and his style is easy to follow. Mr. Nivola divides the discussion into seven chapters. In the first chapter, "Gulliver's Travail," he describes the objective for his enterprise. In the second chapter, he maps out the terrain. In chapter three, he sets the general tone for the discussion. …

Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin Jan 1992

Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin

Fordham Law Review

In this Article, Professor Lipkin continues the debate over the nature of indeterminacy in constitutional theory, arguing that epistemic indeterminacy is most relevant to the law, because epistemic indeterminacy is more closely tied to practical reasoning than is metaphysical indeterminacy. Professor Lipkin further argues that the controversy over metaphysical or epistemic indeterminacy is really a controversy over truth or justification as the primary form of validating constitutional rules. In Professor Lipkin's view, the search for constitutional truth should be abandoned or, at best, should be treated as a trivial result of the best justification. Finally, Professor Lipkin proposes a new …

The Case Against Strict Liability, Alan Schwartz Jan 1992

The Case Against Strict Liability, Alan Schwartz

Fordham Law Review

Professor Schwartz identifies the foundational assumptions of strict products liability law, and argues that these assumptions are either false, not supportive of banishing free contract, or not proven on the current evidence. After showing that, on the evidence now available, strict liability cannot be shown to be more efficient than free contract, Professor Schwartz argues that the choice among legal regimes should be made by a "representative consumer"--a person who knows what is knowable about markets and who knows that he lives in a liberal state, but who does not know what position he will occupy in that state. Professor …


Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld Jan 1992

Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld

Fordham Law Review

Focusing on the multiple meanings of the statement "A was a more important cause of C than was B," Professor Strassfeld considers the feasibility of comparative causation as a means of apportioning legal responsibility for harms. He concludse that by combining two different interpretations of "more important cause"--judgments of comparative counterfactual similarity and the Uniform Comparative Fault Act approach of comparative responsibility--we can effectively make causal comparisons and avoid the effort to compare such incommensurables as the defendant's fault under a strict liability standard and the plaintiff's failt for failure to exercise reasonable care.

U.S. Restructuring Legislation: Revising The International Banking Act Of 1978, For The Worse?, Cynthia C. Lichtenstein

Fordham Law Review

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 contains several sections dealing with the regulation of foreign banks in the United States.

The Compatibility Of The Unictral Model Law On International Credit Transfers With Article 4a Of The Ucc, Carl Felsenfeld

Fordham Law Review

Professor Felsenfeld concludes that the Model Law is ready for acceptance and adoption in the United States.

Mr. Doty examines the cooperation of securities authorities from around the globe, including the SEC, to address problems of fraudulent conduct, capital adequacy, and standards of disclosure. Mr. Doty concludes that the SEC has been, and should continue to be, a "standard-setter" in the globalization process.


Transnational Financial Services--Current Challenges For An Integrated Europe, Gerhard Wegen Jan 1992

Transnational Financial Services--Current Challenges For An Integrated Europe, Gerhard Wegen

Fordham Law Review

In this address, Dr. Wegen focuses on the challenges facing an integrated Europe. Dr. Wegen examines the existing regulatory scheme which governs the EC financial services industry. By discussing possible enlargement of the EC to include easter and central European countries. Dr. Wegen addresses the growing need to develop and expand structural devices, both governmental and informal, to bind the ED. The basis for such a union must be the free movement of goods, capital, services, and persons. Dr. Wegen concludes by stressing that the EC must prepare for global competition, rather than struggle over matters of national pride.


The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg Jan 1992

The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg

Fordham Law Review

Professor Reidenberg addresses the challenge to transnational financial services resulting from national regulation of information processing. National laws around the world seek to define fair information practices for the private sector and contain prohibitions on data transfers to foreign destinations that lack sufficient privacy protection. The effect of these laws for the financial services industry is significant because financial services depend on personal information. Professor Reidenberg argues that the international attempts to harmonize information processing encourage divergence of national standards for financial services. He argues that regulatory flexibility and customization is necessary to support financial sevices and accomodate, without circumventing, …
