Beyond The Core: Incorporating Transnational Crimes Into The Rome Statute, Regina Menachery Paulose

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The article argues that the International Criminal Court (ICC) should expand its jurisdiction to include transnational organized crime, such as drug trafficking, counterfeiting, and arms trade, to address the growing global threat posed by these crimes. While the Rome Statute currently excludes such crimes, the ICC’s role as a court of last resort and its independence make it an ideal institution to prosecute transnational organized crime, fostering international cooperation and enhancing deterrence. The article advocates for a unified definition of transnational organized crime and the inclusion of select crimes from the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (CATOC) and …

Haute Copyright: Tailoring Copyright Protection To High-Profile Fashion Designs, Alexandra Manfredi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that high-profile haute couture fashion designs, particularly those worn by celebrities at significant events, deserve copyright protection due to their artistic and economic value. It proposes modifying U.S. copyright law to protect these designs, balancing the need to safeguard designers' investments while avoiding stifling innovation or competition. The analysis suggests that such protection could be achieved through a narrowly tailored provision with specific requirements, such as mandatory registration and a short protection term, modeled after successful European frameworks.

Home Games: Legal Issues Concerning The Displacement Of Property Owners At The Site Of Olympic Venues, Jessica Blumert

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The Olympics, as the world's largest mega event, often lead to human rights violations, particularly regarding the right to adequate housing, as host cities displace residents and businesses. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has the unique ability to address these issues by incorporating binding human rights protections into its contracts with host countries, yet it has failed to enforce such standards effectively. The article argues that the IOC should amend its Charter to include specific housing rights criteria, drawing on international law and precedents from the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), to ensure compliance and protect vulnerable populations.

Negotiating Federalism Past The Zero-Sum Game, Erin Ryan

Scholarly Publications

Countless instances of intergovernmental bargaining offer a means of understanding the relationship between state and federal power that differs from the stylized model of “zero-sum” federalism that has come to dominate political discourse. The zero-sum model sees winner-takes-all jurisdictional competition between the federal and state governments for power, emphasizing sovereign antagonism within the federal system. Yet real-world interjurisdictional governance show that the boundary between state and federal authority is really an ongoing project of negotiation, taking place on levels both large and small. Reconceptualizing the relationship between state and federal power as one heavily mediated by negotiation reveals just how …

Rethinking Transboundary Ground Water Resources Management: A Local Approach Along The Mexico-U.S. Border, Gabriel E. Eckstein

Faculty Scholarship

Despite more than forty years of promises to the contrary, neither Mexico nor the United States have shown any inclination to pursue a border-wide pact to coordinate management of the border region’s transboundary ground water resources. As a result, these critical resources – which serve as the sole or primary source of fresh water for most border communities on both sides – are being overexploited and polluted, leaving the local population with little recourse. Imminently unsustainable, the situation portends a grim future for the region.

In the absence of national governmental interests and involvement on either side of the frontier, …

Rhetoric, Referential Communication, And The Novice Writer, Barbara P. Blumenfeld

Faculty Scholarship

Classical rhetoric is integral to teaching legal writing, and this essay argues that its use must be enhanced with audience awareness. This is so rhetoric can be successfully applied to teaching and the practice of legal writing.

This essay begins with a very brief overview of the relationship of rhetoric to legal writing and how audience awareness is a key factor in both. This overview leads to a definition of two distinct tasks that must be incorporated into the writing process: first, learning about and understanding specific audiences; second, learning how to implement writing that works for that audience.

There's No Place Like Home: Realizing The Vision Of Community-Based Mental Health Treatment For Children, Yael Cannon

Faculty Scholarship

On the heels of the recession, the recent U.S. Census data reveals that the percentage of children living in poverty in the United States has grown to almost a quarter. Because children from low-income families are more likely to be exposed to high levels of stress, violence, abuse, overcrowding and other risk factors, they are far more likely to develop a mental health disorder--and to have their mental health needs go unmet. Rather than receive the necessary educational and mental health services, these children are often suspended and expelled, funneled through the school-to-prison pipeline' into the juvenile and criminal justice …

Testing The Reach Of Ucc Article 9: The Question Of Tax Credit Collateral In Secured Transactions, Christopher K. Odinet

Faculty Scholarship

This Article addresses the open question related to the use of tax credits as a source of secured capital. It first lays a foundation by analyzing the theoretical underpinnings of the UCC’s category for general intangibles and shows how classification as a general intangible can and should comport with the legal substance of tax credits as a form of secured financing. The work also investigates the theory and nature that forms the basis of tax credits and their economic value. Next, the Article provides an overview of the relatively meager case law on tax credit financing and explains how courts …
