Cardozo Law Review

Nearly thirty percent of all women murdered in America are killed by their husbands or boyfriends, and as many as ninety percent of them have been stalked.

The Americans With Disabilities Act “Readily Achievable” Requirement For Barrier Removal: A Proposal For The Allocation Of Responsibility Between Landlord And Tenant, Karen E. Field

Cardozo Law Review

The Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA") was enacted July 26, 1990. Title III of the ADA, which prohibits discrimination in privately owned places of public accommodation, became effective on January 26, 1992. Members of both the legal and business communities have expressed concern over the attendant costs of compliance with what is commonly referred to as the "barrier removal" requirement of Title III. This provision requires that-to insure that disabled individuals have complete access to goods and serviceslandlords and tenants must "remove architectural, and communication barriers that are structural in nature, in existing facilities ... where such removal is readily …

Rational Choice At The Office Of Legal Counsel, Nelson Lund

Cardozo Law Review

Discussions of the Attorney General's advisory function, indeed most discussions of the Attorney General's role in general, are carried out in the intellectual shadows cast by two contrasting images. At one extreme, we imagine someone like the man Edward Bates conjured when he said that "the office I hold is not properly political, but strictly legal; and it is my duty, above all other ministers of state, to uphold the law and to resist all encroachment, from whatever quarter, of mere will and power.'' At the other extreme, we think of someone like John Mitchell, who went to prison as …

Dedication, Jacob Burns (1902-1993)

Cardozo Law Review

We dedicate this issue of the Cardozo Law Review to Jacob Bums, a benefactor whose love for the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law was without limit. Although he will be honored for his tangible contributions, he will be revered for his indomitable spirit which, like gentle rain, touched and refreshed us all.

Being A Jacob Burns Scholar, David S. Kahn

Cardozo Law Review

Not long after I was admitted to the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, I was told that I had been awarded a Jacob Burns scholarship. It was this scholarship that was the deciding factor in my decision to attend Cardozo, and it has had a great effect on my studies over the past two years.

Jacob Burns's Generosity, June D. Wolfman

Cardozo Law Review

At Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, as in so many other places, Mr. Jacob Bums is known for his exceptionally generous financial contributions. Through the Jacob Bums Scholars Program, I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Bums on several occasions. It was clear to me, and to all of us in the program, that Mr. Bums's support of our school and its students was far more than financial. Mr. Bums supported our student body from his heart.

Models Of The Opinion Function Of The Attorney General: A Normative, Descriptive, And Historical Prolegomenon, John O. Mcginnis

Cardozo Law Review

The judiciary is not the only branch of government that offers authoritative constructions of the Constitution and other federal laws. Since the beginning of the Republic, the executive branch has made formal pronouncements on constitutional and statutory issues of such a substantial scope and variety that they rival the opinions of the Supreme Court. A public recording of the executive branch's most authoritative legal voice is contained in forty-three volumes of published opinions of the Attorney General and sixteen volumes of published opinions of the Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC")-the office to which the Attorney General now delegates the great …

The Movement For Quality In Government V. State Of Israel, Meir Shamgar, Aharon Barak, Eliahu Mazza, Dov Levin, Eliezer Goldberg

Translated Opinions

These petitions concern the continued tenure in office of the fourth respondent as a Minister in the Government, after he was charged with accepting a bribe, breach of trust on the part of a public servant, obtaining something by deceit under aggravating circumstances, false entry in corporate documents and stealing by a director

The petitioner in H.C. 4319, 3094/93, argued that proper legal and public norms demand an immediate end to the 4th respondent's tenure of office as a Minister. This petitioner's approach is similar to that of the third respondent, as expressed in his application to the second respondent. …

Bargil V. Government Of Israel, Meir Shamgar, Theodor Or, Eliezer Goldberg

Translated Opinions

The petition asks the court to find the Government’s policy of allowing
Israeli citizens to settle in the occupied territories of Judea, Samaria and the Gaza
Strip to be illegal. The court held that the petition was too general to be justiciable.

Eximin Sa V. Itel Style Ferarri, Meir Shamgar, Yaakov Malz, Eliezer Goldberg

Translated Opinions

Facts: the appellant bought 3,000 pairs of denim boots from the respondent for a customer of the appellant in the United States. The boots had a pocket on which a letter ‘V’ was sewn. When the boots reached the United States, they were detained in customs because the design violated a trade mark registered in the United States.

The issue in dispute was: who was responsible for ignoring the question of whether the design involved a breach of a registered trade mark?

Held: (Majority opinion — President M. Shamgar, Justice Y. Malz) Since both parties knew of the possibility that …

Levy V. Mabat Building Ltd, Meir Shamgar, Dov Levin, Theodor Or

Translated Opinions

Facts: The appellants bought an apartment from the respondent. The apartment suffered from water penetration and the respondent failed to make effective repairs. After several years the appellants sued the respondent in the District Court for rescission of the contract, restitution of the purchase price and damages. The District Court found that the appellants were entitled to rescind the contract.

The main issue in the appeal was the ruling of the District Court that the appellants must pay the respondent a sum of $16,000 for use of the apartment during the years that they lived in it. The appellants argued …

Manning V. Attorney General, Eliezer Goldberg, Aharon Barak, Eliahu Mazza, Dalia Dorner, Shlomo Levin

Translated Opinions

Facts: The petitioner was tried for murder in the United States. The trial was declared a mistrial after the jury failed to reach an unanimous verdict, and the prosecution cancelled the indictment, reserving the right to submit a new one.

The petitioner returned to Israel. The United States requested her extradition to stand trial for the same murder, and the District Court declared her to be extraditable. Her appeal to the Supreme Court was denied, but the President of the Supreme Court granted her application to hold a further hearing on the question of whether the defence of double jeopardy …

Jabrin V. Jabrin, Aharon Barak, Theodor Or, Shlomo Levin

Translated Opinions

Facts: The appellant (the wife) and the first respondent (the husband) built a house on the property of the second respondent (the husband’s father) with his consent. The spouses later divorced. The wife sued the husband and his father, arguing against the husband that she was entitled to the value of half the rights in the house by virtue of the equitable rule of joint ownership between spouses, and against the husband’s father that he had unjustly enriched himself at her expense. The lower court found for the wife against the husband, but denied her claim against the father. The …
