Foreword: Conference On Legal Ethics: "What Needs Fixing?", Roy D. Simon
Foreword: Conference On Legal Ethics: "What Needs Fixing?", Roy D. Simon
Hofstra Law Review
The remarkable collection of papers in this special issue of the Hofstra Law Review grew out of Hofstra University School of Law's third major ethics conference, which was held at Hofstra from September 9 to September 11, 2001. The papers are linked together by the broad theme expressed in the conference's title: Legal Ethics: What Needs Fixing?
n this Foreword, I want to do three simple things. First, I want to talk about how Hofstra put the ethics conference together. Second, I want to comment on the connections between some of the papers. Third, I want to say a few …

The Twilight Of Organizational Form For Charity: Musings On Norman Silber, A Corporate Form Of Freedom: The Emergence Of The Modern Nonprofit Sector, Evelyn Brody
Hofstra Law Review
Norman Silber's exploration of a near-century of jurisprudential subjectivity reveals an extraordinary hunger for uniformity in the conception of the public good. In 1961, the New York Court of Appeals effectively ended the practice of substantive judicial review of nonprofit charters when it ordered the lower court to approve the articles of a white supremacist group. In the end, judicial discretion over charity incorporation fell during the general social rebellion against orthodoxy, the rise of advocacy and identity groups (notably the NAACP), the legal-process reform against ad-hoc judicial rulings in favor of administrative deliberation and consistency, and the reconception of …

Workplace Mythologies And Unemployment Insurance: Exit, Voice And Exhausting All Reasonable Alternatives To Quitting, Deborah Maranville
Workplace Mythologies And Unemployment Insurance: Exit, Voice And Exhausting All Reasonable Alternatives To Quitting, Deborah Maranville
Hofstra Law Review
This article argues that the requirement that workers exhaust alternatives to quitting in order to qualify for unemployment benefits is misguided. The requirement is premised on inaccurate assumptions about the world of work and the situation of employees. Albert Hirschman's Exit, Voice and Loyalty provides a theoretical framework for thinking about decisions to stay or leave in the economic and political realms. The exhaustion requirement is premised on a vision of employment as more like a political community than an economic marketplace. While this vision may be an attractive aspiration, it has little foundation in most twenty-first century workplaces.
Compensation For Victims Of Terror: A Specialized Jurisprudence Of Injury, Marshall S. Shapo
Compensation For Victims Of Terror: A Specialized Jurisprudence Of Injury, Marshall S. Shapo
Hofstra Law Review
The legislation and Rules creating the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund (the "Fund") constitute a new entry in the "jurisprudence of injury." The Fund presents challenges that cut across traditional tort and compensation law, economic theory, philosophy, psychology and political science. This article combines analysis of the statute and the Rules with suggestions about their political significance, including brief summaries of heated public discussion about the Fund and a couple of personalized anecdotes, selected for their symbolic power.
Trying to "broker the politics of injury," Congress in establishing the Fund created a "unique form of public choice," with "something for …

Minor Rights: The Adolescent Abortion Cases, Martin Guggenheim
Minor Rights: The Adolescent Abortion Cases, Martin Guggenheim
Hofstra Law Review
This article focuses on two Supreme Court decisions (Planned Parenthood v. Danforth and Bellotti v. Baird) in which the Court redefined the entire conception of children's rights. The article suggests that the Supreme Court used a construct of children's constitutional "rights" to restrict the rights of children. By doing so, the Court decisively derailed an incipient children's rights movement that had the potential to liberate children from the dominion of adults. In Danforth, the Court considered for the first time the constitutionality of a state statute that contained a mandatory parental consent provision. The Court struck down that part of …

Corporate Courtship Gone Sour: Applying A Bankruptcy Approach To Termination Fee Provisions In Merger And Acquisition Agreements, Ely R. Levy
Hofstra Law Review
This paper examines Delaware's judicial treatment of deal protection measures, particularly termination fee provisions. The paper explores the tension between the economic function of these provisions in inducing bidders and potentially compensating them for opportunity and transaction costs in the event of deal termination vs. the ability of large termination fees to constrain and coerce shareholder choice by obligating the target to pay out the fee in the event of a shareholder no vote.
In light of these issues, the paper explores the different standards of review that Delaware courts have and could potentially apply in ex post review of …
