Reply Brief Of The Petitioners-Taxpayers Edward A. And Doris Zelinsky, Edward A. Zelinsky

Amicus Briefs

The Division’s Brief confirms that the Tribunal should rule for the taxpayers, Edward A. and Doris Zelinsky Perhaps most egregiously, the Division disparages binding factual stipulations to which the parties agreed at the outset of this litigation. These stipulations confirm that, from March 15, 2020 through December 31, 2020 (“the COVID period”), Professor Zelinsky had no New York office or classroom available to him. Consequently, Professor Zelinsky taught his classes and met with students exclusively on zoom from his Connecticut home. He did not step foot in New York for this nine and one-half month period.

Book Bans, Academic Freedom, And The Academic Law Library: Reflections On An Aall Discussion Den, Olivia Smith Schlinck

Library Staff Online Writings

Discussion Dens are consistently among my favorite programs at the AALL Annual Meeting, and Leslie Street’s Book Bans, Academic Freedom, and the Academic Law Library discussion was truly a highlight of AALL 2023. Street approached this difficult and ever-evolving issue with expertise, passion, and open-mindedness, guiding the group to consider: what can law librarians do to support our colleagues in states facing books bans on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) bases?

The Public Administration Of Justice, Nicholas R. Bednar

Cardozo Law Review

Adjudicatory agencies decide who receives social-welfare benefits, which inventions deserve patents, and which noncitizens get to remain in the United States. Scholars have argued that agency adjudication lacks sufficient structural and procedural protections to ensure unbiased decision-making. Yet these critiques miss a -key problem with agency adjudication: the lack of adjudicatory capacity. This Article argues that low-capacity agencies cannot satisfy the Due Process Clause's demand for accurate decision-making. To produce accurate decisions, adjudicatory agencies need sufficient levels of capacity: (1) material resources, (2) expert adjudicators, and (3) support staff When agencies lack these resources, their adjudicators rely on various coping …

Horizontal Price Exchanges, Joseph E. Harrington Jr., Christopher R. Leslie

Cardozo Law Review

The private exchange of prices by competitors has long been a source of anticompetitive concern. Based on claims of possible procompetitive effects, the Supreme Court decided that antitrust challenges to these exchanges should be evaluated under the rule of reason. In reviewing the jurisprudence applying the rule of reason approach to horizontal price exchanges, we find it suspect as it is long on claims of procompetitive benefits but short on economic theory and evidence substantiating those claims. To fill this gap, this Article injects economic reasoning into the judicial discussion. While our analysis identifies several reasons for these exchanges to …

The Meta Oversight Board's Human Rights Future, Laurence R. Helfer, Molly K. Land

Cardozo Law Review

Responses to the new Oversight Board created by Facebook (now Meta) have run the gamut from enthusiastic to overtly suspicious. Many observers are highly skeptical of the Board's ability to hold Meta accountable or to protect the company's users. Much of this skepticism is based on a misplaced analogy between the Board and domestic courts. We argue, in contrast, that the core challenges and opportunities that the Oversight Board faces are similar to those confronted by international human rights tribunals. Analyzing the Oversight Board as a de facto human rights tribunal sheds light on the strengths and weaknesses of its …

Demystifying The Elusive Quest For Cyber Insurance Protection: The Need For New Contract Language, Deborah L. Johnson

Cardozo Law Review

Cyberattacks and electronic data breaches are on the rise, and the costs associated with those breaches can be astronomical. In response, the insurance industry has created a specialty market for cyber coverage. However, despite the number of cyber insurance policies currently offered on the market, insurers frequently deny claims for cyber coverage under both these specialty and traditional policies.

Examining the evolution of cyberattacks, data breaches, and the massive harm they can cause to businesses, this Article explores the legal and market obstacles to obtaining adequate cyber insurance coverage and offers potential solutions to policyholders and insurers to satisfy this …

Jefferson's Ghost: The Local Action Rule In Federal Courts, Jeffrey L. Rensberger

Cardozo Law Review

The local action rule required that certain actions concerning real property be adjudicated in the federal court in the state (and perhaps the district) containing the property. This rule had been apart of the law of the United States since the early days of the nation. In 2011, Congress eliminated the local action rule as a matter of venue. But some courts have held that the local action rule pertains to subject matter jurisdiction, not merely venue, and that it survived Congress's elimination of the venue aspect of the rule. This is wrong as to cases in federal court involving …
