Hiv Name Reporting And Partner Notification In New York State, Sonia Bhatnager Jan 1999

Hiv Name Reporting And Partner Notification In New York State, Sonia Bhatnager

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article focuses on a 1998 New York law that required physicians and other health officials to report individuals who test positive for HIV, AIDS, or other HIV-related illnesses to the municipal health commissioner. As New York has the highest rate of reported AIDS cases, the Article notes that the state's decision to enact this law could have significant influence on other states. It begins by describing the partner notification system laws in the United States, and then presents arguments for and against partner notification. The Article ultimately argues for a modified version of the New York law. This refined …


Federalism For The New Millennium: Accounting For The Values Of Federalism, Dennis M. Cariello Jan 1999

Federalism For The New Millennium: Accounting For The Values Of Federalism, Dennis M. Cariello

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article explores the long and intricate history of federalism, the arrangement between the federal and local governments to serve the people, in the United States. It begins with the beginnings of federalism in pre-colonial times and continues to discuss how recent Supreme Court decisions have failed to articulate a cohesive test for federalism issues. Ultimately, the Article proposes a method for resolving federalism disputes. This method focuses on the sociopolitical and economic benefits of federalism as the Framers intended. Further, it argues that courts should inquire as to the utility of either the federal or local government regulating a …

More Trees Please: Utilizing Natural Resources In The Urban Environmental Management Of New York City, Vivian D. Encarnacion

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article discusses the impact of urban development on trees. It discusses the importance of having trees in urban neighborhoods by increasing property value and highly benefiting the ecological system. It also discusses alternative policies that other cities have implemented to deal with the impact of development on the environment. Finally, the Article proposes various solutions to the problems faced by New York City specifically, arguing that the city should adopt a comprehensive urban forestry program that would asses the current status of the urban forest, evaluate the environmental impact of development, and protect tree and landscaping ordinances.


Damned To The Inferno? A New Vision Of Lawyers At The Dawning Of The Millennium, Robert J. Cosgrove Jan 1999

Damned To The Inferno? A New Vision Of Lawyers At The Dawning Of The Millennium, Robert J. Cosgrove

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article seeks to explain the negative perception the legal profession and lawyers have in the eyes of the American public. Disregarding common answers such as the disproportionate amount of influence lawyers have or high salaries and extravagant lifestyles, this Article argues that a cultural shift has led many Americans to see the law as an arbitrary device. Consequently, this belief is reinforced by lawyers and and perpetuated by law schools, leading to the negative perception of the legal profession. In the process, the Article addresses five main issues: the definition and purpose of the law, the republican theory of …

Discovery Reform Redux, Carl W. Tobias Jan 1999

Discovery Reform Redux, Carl W. Tobias

Law Faculty Publications

The recent resolve of the Advisory Committee on the Civil Rules to revisit reform of the discovery rules, which the Supreme Court revised as recently as 1993, is replete with ironies. In August, 1998, that Committee, which has primary responsibility for studying the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and developing suggestions for their improvement, published proposals that would significantly revise the substantial 1993 revisions of the discovery rules. Ironies suffuse many specific aspects of the rule revision process and of the proposals to revise the 1993 revisions less than five years after their implementation. I emphasize the proposal to revise …

"High Crimes And Misdemeanors": Recovering The Intentions Of The Founders, Gary L. Mcdowell Jan 1999

"High Crimes And Misdemeanors": Recovering The Intentions Of The Founders, Gary L. Mcdowell

Law Faculty Publications

Such serious charges by so many distinguished historians demand a careful consideration of what the Founders meant by "high Crimes and Misdemeanors": Were they only indictable crimes or did they include what one of the Framers called "political crimes and misdemeanors?" Were they offenses that a President would commit only in "the exercise of executive power" or did they also include a President's malfeasance committed in his private capacity? Were they subject to a reasonably fixed meaning or were they to be determined simply by the exercise of the "awful discretion" of those in Congress called upon to impeach and …
