The Mandatory Arrest Law: Police Reaction, Kevin Walsh
The Mandatory Arrest Law: Police Reaction, Kevin Walsh
Pace Law Review
The mandatory arrest requirement in certain domestic violence situations is unique, due to the fact that no other class of offense requires arrest. The Criminal Procedure Law states that a police officer "may arrest" for all other classes of offenses. The new subdivision states that a police officer "shall arrest a person, and shall not attempt to reconcile the parties or mediate .... ." The use of the word "shall," in contrast to "may," indicates obligation or necessity. Why has this class of offenses been singled out for mandatory arrest? What factors brought this mandatory arrest law about?

The Stable Door Is Open: New York's Statutes To Protect Farm Land, John R. Nolon
The Stable Door Is Open: New York's Statutes To Protect Farm Land, John R. Nolon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Daniel Webster, in his Remarks on Agriculture, asserted that "When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization." If Webster is right, civilization in New York State is floundering. Dutchess County recently witnessed the closing of the county's oldest dairy operation, Kay-Ray Farm. With Kay-Ray gone, Dutchess now has just over 50 farms left, down from over 100 in 1987 and from nearly 300 in 1972. What happened to this farm and this county is happening, to varying degrees, throughout the state. Legislatively, we have left the barn door ajar and the state's productive …
Should Taxpayers Pay People To Obey Environmental Laws?, John A. Humbach
Should Taxpayers Pay People To Obey Environmental Laws?, John A. Humbach
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Should taxpayers have to pay people not to put pollutants into streams and reservoirs? Should taxpayers have to pay people not to kill off entire species? Should taxpayers have to reach into their pockets and pay people not to disperse development seamlessly across the countryside, relentlessly consuming, fragmenting, and degrading our nation's remaining natural lands until almost all is gone? Should we, in short, have to pay people not to engage in land-uses that have been determined to be too socially unacceptable to allow?
The Internal Trade Agreement: Furthering The Canadian Economic Disunion?, David S. Cohen
The Internal Trade Agreement: Furthering The Canadian Economic Disunion?, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The premise of this article on the current status of the Canadian economic union and the meaning of the Internal Trade Agreement (the "Agreement") on that union, is that the union describes the economic relations among individual Canadians. The union is not comprised of the interconnections among political jurisdictions. The Canadian economic union, when conceived as the product of the relations between individual Canadians, is the market. We have decided that our material well-being as individuals and as a community is best served by decentralizing economic power and thereby permitting individuals, whether alone or in groups, to act relatively autonomously …
Overcoming "Stigmas": Lesbian And Gay Districts And Black Electoral Empowerment, Darren Rosenblum
Overcoming "Stigmas": Lesbian And Gay Districts And Black Electoral Empowerment, Darren Rosenblum
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article argues that the renewed disenfranchisement of blacks from districting remedies may be curbed through the use of community-based evidence similar to that used by lesbian and gay activists. Section One will explore the current position of blacks in the districting system, scrutinizing recent changes in the law that deprive blacks of their previously “protected” status under the Voting Rights Act. In 1995, the Miller v. Johnson decision notably held that race cannot be the predominant factor in the drawing of district lines. Blacks wishing to ensure that their interests are represented in the political process will therefore need …

New Insights On Waiver And The Inadvertent Disclosure Of Privileged Materials: Attorney Responsibility As The Governing Precept, Audrey Rogers
New Insights On Waiver And The Inadvertent Disclosure Of Privileged Materials: Attorney Responsibility As The Governing Precept, Audrey Rogers
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Article suggests that fostering the development of attorney responsibility should be the central goal in addressing the issues raised by the inadvertent disclosure. Deciding the waiver issue by concentrating on attorney responsibility will help prevent inadvertent disclosures (and resultant waivers) by impressing upon the attorney the need to take care to avoid them. When disclosures inadvertently occur, the amount of precautions the attorney took (albeit unsuccessfully) should determine whether the privilege is waived. Placing the onus of precautions against inadvertent disclosure on the attorney is not only beneficial to the client, but also aids the profession, and the overall …
Whatever Happened To The "Best Interests" Analysis In New York Relocation Cases? A Response, Merril Sobie
Whatever Happened To The "Best Interests" Analysis In New York Relocation Cases? A Response, Merril Sobie
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This response to Justice Sondra Miller’s article will first discuss the competing interests and expectations of the parties to a relocation dispute, and briefly outline the national view or views. In fact, there is no national standard, or anything approaching a consensus among the states. The New York experience under the exceptional circumstances standard will then be analyzed and appraised. My conclusion is that the standard should be maintained, although I believe that the Court of Appeals should revisit the issue to clarify the factors and criteria relevant to a determination.
The Economics Of Canadian National Railway V. Norsk Pacific Steamship (The Jervis Crown), David S. Cohen
The Economics Of Canadian National Railway V. Norsk Pacific Steamship (The Jervis Crown), David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Economic analysis of legal doctrine assumes, indeed its relevance largely depends upon the assumption, that judicial decisions will have an instrumental impact on the future behaviour of firms and individuals who are not themselves parties to the litigation which resulted in the specific doctrinal development being analysed. In other words, economic analysis assumes that the decisions of courts - and particularly, for what should be obvious reasons, the decisions of the Supreme Court of Canada - have a direct influence upon the manner in which non-litigants will choose to order their affairs following that decision. Thus, the focus of a …
Fictions, Fault, And Forgiveness: Jury Nullification In A New Context, David N. Dorfman
Fictions, Fault, And Forgiveness: Jury Nullification In A New Context, David N. Dorfman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Recently, critics of the Anglo-American jury system have complained that juries in criminal trials have been ignoring the law, in favor of defendants who claim that they lack criminal responsibility because they are afflicted by the various victimization syndromes now popularized in the mass media. In this Article, Professors Dorfman and Iijima counter this characterization of the "runaway" jury and argue that juries are not ignoring the law, but rather, are exercising a primary power of the jury, to nullify the application of the law when such application to a particular defendant is unjust. The Authors trace the development of …
Prosecutorial Misconduct In Presenting Evidence: "Backdooring" Hearsay, Bennett L. Gershman
Prosecutorial Misconduct In Presenting Evidence: "Backdooring" Hearsay, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Rules of evidence are designed to bring about just and informed decisions. One of these rules, the hearsay rule, is designed to ensure that juries receive reliable evidence, and that out-of-court statements ordinarily are inadmissible. Prosecutors are well aware of these evidentiary restrictions, but occasionally seek to circumvent them. The author describes methods used by some prosecutors to manipulate the hearsay rule and thereby distort the truth-finding process of the trial.
