New York City's Pothole Law: In Need Of Repair, Terri J. Frank

Fordham Urban Law Journal

In 1979, New York City enacted a local law requiring prior written notice of a defect before the city may be found liable for injuries resulting from potholes. But a prior written notice statute interferes with the traditional negligence doctrine of constructive notice. This Note examines traditional common law negligence as it relates to municipal liability. The procedural requirements and legislative history of the Pothole Law are analyzed. In addition, the legal and policy considerations surrounding its enactment are discussed. This Note recommends an alternative solution to the statute which takes into account both the procedural inequities of the law …

This comment examines the impact of the Historic Green Springs decision, and focuses on the administration of the New York City landmarks law specifically. The comment argues that ordinances such as New York's are inadequate, and concludes that municipal bodies …

The Impact Of U.S. Control Of Foreign Assets On Refugees And Expatriates, Michael P. Malloy

Michigan Journal of International Law

The U.S. Treasury Department has the responsibility of administering several emergency-related programs that affect the property of certain countries (and usually the nationals thereof) designated by its regulations, where the property, or the persons dealing with the property, are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. These so-called "embargo controls" consist of trade sanctions (i.e., an "embargo" in the narrow sense of the term) and prohibitions on transactions involving assets in which the designated country or its nationals have any interest. These prohibitions, known collectively as a "blocking" of assets, have an impact on refugees and expatriates, …
