Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy
Bumper Cars: Themes Of Convergence In International Regulation, Michael P. Malloy
Fordham Law Review
In this Article, Professor Malloy examines the convergence of regulatory standards among international regulators, suggesting that the dynamic of financial services regulation can be best understood as a conceptualized version of the bumper cars ride at an amusement park. While Professor Malloy suggests that a certain degree of convergence has already occurred in international regulation, thus decreasing the number of "bumps" in the ride, he also recognizes that much of this convergence remains propsective rather than actual, and currently is dominated by a pattern of regionalized regulation. Professor Malloy argues that, unless a converged pattern of regulation continues to develop, …

Symposium: Brown V. Board Of Education And Its Legacy: A Tribute To Justice Thurgood Marshall, Public Law Litigation And The Ambiguties Of Brown, Mark Tushnet
Fordham Law Review
Professor Tushnet posits that the Supreme Court's concern for gradually carrying out desegregation in the public schools ironically gave rise to "'public law litigation"---an aggressive form ofjudicial review. Specifically. Professor Tushnet argues that the "all deliberate speed" standard, which separated the right from the remedy, enabled the courts to become a more powerful institution in shaping social policy. Throughout his speech, Professor Tushnet provides insight into the thought processes of the Supreme Court justices at the time of the Brown decision.
The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman
The Last Promissory Estoppel Article, Jay M. Feinman
Fordham Law Review
In this essay, Professor Feinman argues that the doctrine of promissory estoppel has outlived its usefulness as a theory of contract Professor Feinman relies on an article written by Professors Edward Yorio and Steven Thel as an illustration of the debate over whether promissory estoppel is based upon the enforcement of promises or the protection of reliance. Professor Feinman rejects the conceptual framework upon which this debate is based and ultimately proposes that contract law should move to a relational analysis, ignoring the distinction between promise and reliance and replacing it with an analysis of the obligations involved in a …

Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin
Indeterminacy, Justification And Truth In Constitutional Theory, Robert Justin Lipkin
Fordham Law Review
In this Article, Professor Lipkin continues the debate over the nature of indeterminacy in constitutional theory, arguing that epistemic indeterminacy is most relevant to the law, because epistemic indeterminacy is more closely tied to practical reasoning than is metaphysical indeterminacy. Professor Lipkin further argues that the controversy over metaphysical or epistemic indeterminacy is really a controversy over truth or justification as the primary form of validating constitutional rules. In Professor Lipkin's view, the search for constitutional truth should be abandoned or, at best, should be treated as a trivial result of the best justification. Finally, Professor Lipkin proposes a new …
The Value Of Friendship In Law And Literature, Michael J. Kaufman
The Value Of Friendship In Law And Literature, Michael J. Kaufman
Fordham Law Review
Once thought to be indespensible to a good life, the value of friendship has been swept away by the most recent trends in philosophical, literary, and legal thought. After tracing the subtle decline in the value of friendship, this Article employs these very trends to redefine and resurrect that value, particularly within American law. A good work of art is one which elevates its own art-form by successfully channeling the anxiety of influence created by competing art forms. A good judicial opinion, therefore, is one which elevates the art of judging above strong competing arts such as philosophy and literature. …

Toxic Reproductive And Genetic Hazards In The Workplace: Challenging The Myths Of The Tort And Workers' Compensation Systems, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen
Toxic Reproductive And Genetic Hazards In The Workplace: Challenging The Myths Of The Tort And Workers' Compensation Systems, Jean Macchiaroli Eggen
Fordham Law Review
In this Article, Professor Eggen discusses how various scientific studies suggest a causal connection between workers' reproductive and genetic injuries and their exposure to toxins in the workplace. Because of conflicts between scientific and legal causation standards, workers and affected family members often cannot prove a sufficient causal connection between toxic exposure and ensuing injury to recover under existing workers' compensation and tort laws. Thus, Professor Eggen proposes several specific reforms to both the workers' compensatoin and tort law systems to improve the availability of these relief mechanisms for toxic exposure victims.
Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld
Causal Comparisons, Robert N. Strassfeld
Fordham Law Review
Focusing on the multiple meanings of the statement "A was a more important cause of C than was B," Professor Strassfeld considers the feasibility of comparative causation as a means of apportioning legal responsibility for harms. He concludse that by combining two different interpretations of "more important cause"--judgments of comparative counterfactual similarity and the Uniform Comparative Fault Act approach of comparative responsibility--we can effectively make causal comparisons and avoid the effort to compare such incommensurables as the defendant's fault under a strict liability standard and the plaintiff's failt for failure to exercise reasonable care.

Turkey's New Financial Leasing Law And Industry, Unal Tekinalp
Turkey's New Financial Leasing Law And Industry, Unal Tekinalp
Fordham Law Review
In this Article, Professor Tekinalp describes Turkey's new and rapidly growing financial leasing industry. One of the reasons for this rapid growth is the newly enacted Law Concerning Financial Leasing ("LCFL"). Enacted before a financial leasing industry existed, the LCFL is unique in its heavy regulation of this industry. As a drafter of the LCFL, Professor Tekinalp offers insight into the operation and goals of the statute and provides fertile ground for comparison with other developments in international finance regulation.

The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
The Privacy Obstacle Course: Hurding Barriers To Transnational Financial Services, Joel R. Reidenberg
Fordham Law Review
Professor Reidenberg addresses the challenge to transnational financial services resulting from national regulation of information processing. National laws around the world seek to define fair information practices for the private sector and contain prohibitions on data transfers to foreign destinations that lack sufficient privacy protection. The effect of these laws for the financial services industry is significant because financial services depend on personal information. Professor Reidenberg argues that the international attempts to harmonize information processing encourage divergence of national standards for financial services. He argues that regulatory flexibility and customization is necessary to support financial sevices and accomodate, without circumventing, …
