Torts, Ralph Michael Stein
Torts, Ralph Michael Stein
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
While the last several years have witnessed significant change in the field of tort law, viewed as advancement by some and regression by others, 1985 was a relatively stable year, at least in the courtroom. With a sometimes real, sometimes imagined, crisis in the liability insurance field, the drive to change, reform, improve, and re-package the law of civil wrongs has been in full swing. A myriad of legislative proposals followed a continued public debate, fueled by high pressure advertising campaigns, about the societal cost of the common law tort system. Local governments threatened to close parks and police departments; …
Thinking About The State: Law Reform And The Crown In Canada, David S. Cohen
Thinking About The State: Law Reform And The Crown In Canada, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In August 1985, the Law Reform Commission of Canada released a working paper entitled "The Legal Status of the Federal Administration." The working paper calls for a re-examination of the concept of the federal Crown in Canadian law. In this article, Professor Cohen undertakes a critical examination of the focus and methodology of the Commission's work. Professor Cohen commends the Commission for its excursion into the field of law reform and the state, but points out that this working paper represents an incomplete and flawed treatment of the subject. In light of this, Professor Cohen proceeds to describe and evaluate …
Why Prosecutors Misbehave, Bennett L. Gershman
Why Prosecutors Misbehave, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The author, perhaps the nation's top authority on prosecutorial misconduct, raises and analyzes two questions: Why does this misconduct occur? (It often pays off.) And why does it continue? (There are no effective sanctions.)
The Representation Of Children: A Summary And Analysis Of The Bar Association Law Guardian Study, Merril Sobie
The Representation Of Children: A Summary And Analysis Of The Bar Association Law Guardian Study, Merril Sobie
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The law guardian system constitutes a unique opportunity to protect the interests and rights of New York's children. Inaugurated in 1962 and expanded greatly in the past twenty years, the system's goals are laudatory. However, a lack of structure and responsibility has seriously compromised the effectiveness of counsel. Representation is frequently characterized by perfunctory preparation and a waiver of substantive and procedural rights. Moreover, the system is needlessly bifurcated and incapable of providing the education, experience and assistance required for effective counsel. The Bar Association study provides a blueprint for improvement. Legislative restructuring to establish an independent board and office …
The Burger Court And Prosecutorial Misconduct, Bennett L. Gershman
The Burger Court And Prosecutorial Misconduct, Bennett L. Gershman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Professor Gershman critically examines a series of recent Supreme Court decisions dealing with prosecutorial misconduct. In each case, the Court reversed the lower court and reinstated the conviction.
There are a broad range of issues involved; from suppression of evidence to trial misconduct. As a former prosecutor in New York City, the author is forced to conclude that, "Prosecutorial misconduct occurs because it works and because sanctions for misbehavior are virtually nonexistent."
"We The People": John Locke, Collective Constitutional Rights, And Standing To Challenge Government Action, Donald L. Doernberg
"We The People": John Locke, Collective Constitutional Rights, And Standing To Challenge Government Action, Donald L. Doernberg
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The Article is presented in three Parts. Part I documents the enormous effect that Locke's political philosophy had on the Constitution's Framers and traces the idea of collective rights through Locke's Second Treatise, showing how Locke viewed government as a trustee and society as the settlor-beneficiary that forms and gives legitimacy to the government. Part II reviews the development of the current doctrine of standing and demonstrates how the current standing model creates a class of cases where government may, with impunity, violate the Constitution. Part III demonstrates the anomaly of the Supreme Court's current doctrine in a society founded …
The Development Of Nonprofit Corporation Law And An Agenda For Reform, James J. Fishman
The Development Of Nonprofit Corporation Law And An Agenda For Reform, James J. Fishman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article examines the development of the law of “charitable corporations”' and attempts to explain why the charitable corporation rather than the charitable trust became the predominant organizational form for charitable and benevolent activities in the United States. It then discusses some of the inconsistencies of nonprofit corporation law and provides an agenda for future reform.
Torts, Ralph Michael Stein
Torts, Ralph Michael Stein
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
About the only thing a teacher of tort law can be sure of is that each year he or she will witness new efforts, some successful and most not, to extend the reach and effect of the law of private wrongs. Last year's Survey article analyzed a wide range of tort issues and while New York courts handed down fewer tort opinions of broad implication this Survey year, there is much to study and to apply in future litigation. As always, tort law is a somewhat quixotic but nonetheless valid barometer of shifting societal and judicial values about the nature …
"Guilty But Mentally Ill": The Real Verdict Is Guilty, Linda C. Fentiman
"Guilty But Mentally Ill": The Real Verdict Is Guilty, Linda C. Fentiman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article will first explore the reasons for the controversy over the insanity defense to provide insights, both historical and contemporary, into the purposes and functions of that defense. A brief examination will be made of judicial decisions in the last twenty years, which have largely, but not completely, eliminated the distinctions drawn historically between the "civilly" and "criminally" mentally ill. The article will then examine the growing numbers of "Guilty But Mentally Ill" (GBMI) laws, with some emphasis upon the Michigan statute as the archetypal GBMI law. It will be argued that the GBMI laws are fatally flawed in …
Commentary, Ralph Michael Stein
Commentary, Ralph Michael Stein
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
During the past year, the Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit decided a number of significant appeals involving constitutional issues. As is generally the case, most of the issues presented to the Second Circuit were also under judicial scrutiny in other federal appellate courts. Four first amendment cases decided by the court—three dealing primarily with freedom of religion and a fourth with freedom of the press—are particularly noteworthy and merit review.
Strengthening Of The Resource Conservation And Recovery Act In 1984: The Original Loopholes, The Amendments, And The Political Factors Behind Their Passage, Richard L. Ottinger
Strengthening Of The Resource Conservation And Recovery Act In 1984: The Original Loopholes, The Amendments, And The Political Factors Behind Their Passage, Richard L. Ottinger
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This commentary discusses the nature of the legal loopholes that existed in the original RCRA statute, and highlights several of the provisions of the 1984 RCRA amendments that serve to either rectify or ameliorate the prior deficiencies. It also examines the political factors that affected the passage of the 1984 amendments, enabling them to pass during a period of anti-regulatory emphasis.

Western Ideology, Japanese Product Safety Regulation And International Trade, David S. Cohen
Western Ideology, Japanese Product Safety Regulation And International Trade, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
For the purposes of this paper, the barriers to an open Japanese market will be divided into two categories: Direct Official Barriers, and Non-Tariff Barriers (NTBs). The first category consists of positive restraints on imports such as tariffs and quotas. In response to Western criticism the Japanese government has, since the early 1960s, undertaken measures to dismantle gradually the aggressive protectionist wall which may have been necessary to revive the Japanese economy after the Second World War. In fact, in terms of quotas and tariffs, many observers presently consider Japan to be less protectionist than many North American and European …

How Do You Decide On A Nonlegal Career?, Gary A. Munneke
How Do You Decide On A Nonlegal Career?, Gary A. Munneke
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Recent surveys have indicated that many young lawyers are dissatisfied with the direction that their careers have taken. There are always other options, and an increasingly attractive choice for many young lawyers is the nonlegal career.
Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen
Bleeding Hearts And Peeling Floors: Compensation For Economic Loss At The House Of Lords, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The decision of the House of Lords in Junior Books Ltd. v. Veitchi Ltd. represents an unwarranted development in the law of tort and contract, unless its rationale and limitations are fully appreciated. This reform in such an important area is premature "in the absence of hard data on the probable impact of such an extension of liability.” Much of the published commentary on recovery of economic loss in tort, and on this decision in particular, has been written from the ex post perspective of accident compensation doctrine and theory. Most writers have been concerned with the development of positive …
The Public And Private Law Dimensions Of The Uffi Problem: Part Ii, David S. Cohen
The Public And Private Law Dimensions Of The Uffi Problem: Part Ii, David S. Cohen
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The subject of this paper, then, is the private and public law dimensions of the formaldehyde problem. The topics which I have chosen to discuss are directly relevant to any inquiry into the nature of the bureaucratic and entrepreneurial processes which together created the UFFI problem. My concern is not to fix blame, and I have chosen not to draw conclusions in respect of the doctrinal and policy issues which I discuss. Rather, I have attempted to describe the regulatory process which was associated with the development of the product, and to discuss the role of the courts in reviewing …
Curtailment Of Early Election Predictions: Can We Predict The Outcome?, Leslie Yalof Garfield
Curtailment Of Early Election Predictions: Can We Predict The Outcome?, Leslie Yalof Garfield
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This note analyzes the constitutional ramifications of legislative attempts to restrict early election predictions. First, specific congressional proposals and state legislative enactments will be examined. Secondly, the various standards of review the Supreme Court applies when government regulation threatens to infringe upon first amendment free speech will be examined. Lastly, this paper will examine the competing interests involved in early election predictions and will conclude that limitations on this process would be an unconstitutional impairment of the public's first amendment rights.
Personal Jurisdiction In Federal Question Suits: Toward A Unified And Rational Theory For Personal Jurisdiction Over Non-Domiciliary And Alien Defendants, Irene D. Johnson
Personal Jurisdiction In Federal Question Suits: Toward A Unified And Rational Theory For Personal Jurisdiction Over Non-Domiciliary And Alien Defendants, Irene D. Johnson
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
No coherent or cohesive procedure or theory has emerged either in regard to the entire question of personal jurisdiction in federal courts or in regard to federal question cases. The cases and courts are in disarray, both as to when a federal standard should apply to the question of amenability to service of process and as to what a federal standard might require. The purpose of this article is to examine the problem in the context of the various types of cases in which it might arise and to prescribe some consistent, sensible scheme of personal jurisdiction in federal question …
The Juridical Status Of The Gulf Of Taranto: A Brief Reply, Gayl S. Westerman
The Juridical Status Of The Gulf Of Taranto: A Brief Reply, Gayl S. Westerman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The special problem of identifying the juridical nature of coastal indentations is but one aspect of a more fundamental problem: the need to accommodate the legitimate exclusive interests of coastal states in maximizing wealth, power, and national security with the inclusive interests of the community of states in maximizing freedom of the seas. Throughout historical cycles of mares liberum and clausum, this fundamental accommodation has remained the central focus of the international law of the sea. Even today, after thoroughgoing codification efforts in 1958 and 1982: the legal regime of the oceans remains in transition.

Torts, Ralph Michael Stein
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Tort law remains the most exciting and challenging area of private law to teach and practice. Tort law reflects, sometimes elegantly, often crudely, the evolving standards of civil conduct. New York courts last year were, as usual, confronted with litigants seeking to broaden the scope of duty and expand the range of damages. Most decisions conservatively preserved the legal status quo, some ventured forth intellectually. Most of the decisions were sound, but a few cases were wrongly decided.
Rethinking Selective Enforcement In The First Amendment Context, Karl S. Coplan
Rethinking Selective Enforcement In The First Amendment Context, Karl S. Coplan
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Note argues for the use of a balancing-of-interests approach in place of the current two-part test when enforcement policies are challenged on first amendment grounds. The Note begins by explaining the current two-part test and analyzing how it conflicts with other first amendment doctrines. Next, an inquiry into the development of current law reveals that the origins of both the selective prosecution defense and its motive requirement lie in equal protection review of administrative action. These roots suggest a defect in the application of an equal protection test in place of a direct application of the first amendment. The …
Due Process In Decisions Relating To Tenure In Higher Education, James J. Fishman
Due Process In Decisions Relating To Tenure In Higher Education, James J. Fishman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The Special Committee on Education and the Law first interested itself in tenure procedures when a subcommittee looked into recent cases that challenged the confidentiality of votes in tenure decisions. That inquiry led to a broader examination of the processes that are or should be used when universities decide whether to confer tenure, or (less frequently) move to terminate a tenured appointment. This report is the outcome of that study.
Protecting The Public Fisc: Fighting Accrual Abuse With Section 446 Discretion, Karl S. Coplan
Protecting The Public Fisc: Fighting Accrual Abuse With Section 446 Discretion, Karl S. Coplan
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This Note suggests an approach under the current Code and current legal doctrine that would enable the Commissioner to disallow accrual accounting when manipulated to avoid taxation. At the outset, the Note defines and illustrates tax avoidance through accounting manipulation. The Note then considers within the framework of judicial review of agency action the source and nature of the Commissioner's discretion to reject accounting methods. This analysis demonstrates the validity of the Commissioner's action whenever it is based on legally relevant factors. The Note then develops the emerging content of the “clearly reflect income” language as the source of the …
"The Right Of The People": Reconciling Collective And Individual Interests Under The Fourth Amendment, Donald L. Doernberg
"The Right Of The People": Reconciling Collective And Individual Interests Under The Fourth Amendment, Donald L. Doernberg
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Professor Doernberg examines a tension within fourth amendment jurisprudence and sugqests a means of resolving it. On the one hand, the Supreme Court has conferred fourth amendment standing only upon those whose personal privacy interests have been disturbed. On the other hand, the Court has allowed such persons to invoke the exclusionary rule only in circumstances where, in the Court's view, it would serve as an effective deterrent. Professor Doernberg traces these two po1icies to different conceptions of the fourth amendment: the first interprets the amendment as a guarantor of individual rights; the second construes it as an instrument for …
Family Choice: An Idea Whose Time Has Come And Gone?, James J. Fishman
Family Choice: An Idea Whose Time Has Come And Gone?, James J. Fishman
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
The heart of the criticism of the existing educational system is the feeling that public schools no longer meet the needs of society, educational bureaucracies account to no one, parents have little say or choice in the educational options for their children, there is little diversity in public schools, and the public school establishment has resisted any attempts at reform or distributing data that could be used to challenge the present system.

Defending Superfund And Rcra Imminent Hazard Cases, Jeffrey G. Miller
Defending Superfund And Rcra Imminent Hazard Cases, Jeffrey G. Miller
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Early development of a strategy involves a thorough knowledge of the facts of the case, a knowledge of possible legal defenses, and an ability to predict governmental concerns and actions. Since the facts will differ from case to case, no single strategy can be recommended although a number are suggested. The following discussion of possible legal defenses is by no means exhaustive. The government's announced intentions and attitudes are examined, together with some of the relevant forces at work on and in the government. From considering the facts, possible defenses, are probable government reactions, strategies can be developed and tactics …
