Lawyers In The Shadow Of The Regulatory State: Transnational Governance On Business And Human Rights, Milton C. Regan Jr., Kath Hall

Nothing Could Be Finer?: The Role Of Agency General Counsel In North And South Carolina, Elizabeth Chambliss, Dana Remus
Nothing Could Be Finer?: The Role Of Agency General Counsel In North And South Carolina, Elizabeth Chambliss, Dana Remus
Fordham Law Review
This Article examines the role of agency general counsel in North and South Carolina. The two states offer a rich comparative context for research on agency general counsel. Though closely linked in both name and culture, they have different executive structures and recent political histories, and the agency counseling function has evolved and is currently organized in different ways. These structural and political differences at the state level illuminate commonalities and differences at the agency level and provide an accessible starting point for broader state-level research. Part I examines the structural evolution of the agency general counsel position and the …
The Laws Of Agency Lawyering, George M. Cohen
The Laws Of Agency Lawyering, George M. Cohen
Fordham Law Review

Part I lays the groundwork by briefly examining how the ABA Model Rules treat regulatory lawyering to raise the question of what regulatory gaps the agency rules might be expected to fill. Part II sets forth several possible theories of agency rule variation. Part III compares agency rules along a number of dimensions, examines some similarities and differences across agencies as well as between the agency rules and the Model Rules, and offers speculations about what may be driving the …
Lawyer Speech In The Regulatory State, Renee Newman Knake
Lawyer Speech In The Regulatory State, Renee Newman Knake
Fordham Law Review
A lawyer’s speech as advisor and advocate not only holds First Amendment value for the client and for the public, but also for the functioning of American democracy. This is supported both by foundational values undergirding the First Amendment as well as Supreme Court doctrine. This Article builds upon that analysis to posit that lawyers for the regulatory state ought not to be treated as government employees for purposes of the First Amendment when engaged in speech about workplace conditions related to curbing abuse of power, corruption, or other illegality. While this position runs counter to the existing precedent of …

Chevron’S Flexible Agency Expertise Model: Applying The Chevron Doctrine To The Bia’S Interpretation Of The Ina’S Criminal Law–Based Aggravated Felony Provision, Michael Dorfman-Gonzalez
Fordham Law Review
For nearly thirty years, courts have looked to the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling in Chevron, U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. when reviewing a challenge to an agency’s interpretation of statutory language and determining whether deference is appropriate. Despite Chevron’s longstanding role as one of administrative law’s most important legal doctrines, no specification exists as to whether judicial deference is required when an agency interprets language outside the scope of its expertise. As a result, the Second and Third Circuits have split on the issue of whether the Bureau of Immigration Appeals’ (BIA) interpretation of the term …
