Carried Interest: Recent Tax Holding Envisions Need For New Legislation, Patrick Lucas Jan 2025

Carried Interest: Recent Tax Holding Envisions Need For New Legislation, Patrick Lucas

FIU Law Review

In the financial world, carried interest represents the share of the profits of a private equity fund allocated to its manager which is disproportionate when compared to the manager’s relative capital contribution. On May 3, 2023 the Tax Court issued its memorandum opinion in ES NPA Holding, LLC v. Commissioner. The decision quickly became popularized as providing reassurance to sponsors of private equity funds that they will rarely, if ever, realize income as a result of the issuance of a profits/carried interest (the so-called front-end issue for carried interest). The so-called back-end issue is how the income arising from a …


Artificial Intelligence: Catalyst For New Policies Or A New Wave Of Design Piracy?, Blagovesta Leroy Jan 2025

Artificial Intelligence: Catalyst For New Policies Or A New Wave Of Design Piracy?, Blagovesta Leroy

FIU Law Review

The absence of adequate intellectual property protection for fashion designs in the U.S.A. not only undermines the creativity and livelihoods of designers but also fosters the fast fashion industry, contributing to global resource unsustainability and human rights concerns in overseas manufacturing facilities. As Artificial Intelligence (“AI”) advances rapidly, there is a growing concern that its deployment in the fashion industry could accelerate these issues. This paper explores the impact of AI on the fashion industry, highlighting the shortcomings of the existing U.S. intellectual property framework in protecting designers from AI-driven design replication and counterfeiting. Drawing insights from the EU design …

The Legitimacy Of Israel: A Sociological Perspective, Luis Fleischman Jan 2025

The Legitimacy Of Israel: A Sociological Perspective, Luis Fleischman

FIU Law Review

The article focuses on the foundations of Israel’s legitimacy. It explores the issue of Israel’s legitimacy from the viewpoint of the sociology of law and the sociology of politics. It aims to provide perspective and nuance to some highly problematic and inherently anti-Zionist arguments raised by the Palestinian narrative and academic paradigms, such as "settler colonialism" and reductionist manichean theories of conflict.


Should Hate Speech Be Criminalized? Lessons From The Canadian Experience In R V. Zundel And R V. Keegstra, Kenneth Grad Jan 2025

Should Hate Speech Be Criminalized? Lessons From The Canadian Experience In R V. Zundel And R V. Keegstra, Kenneth Grad

FIU Law Review

There is a global trend toward increased use of criminal law to combat hate speech. In assessing this trend, one should be mindful of the experience of countries that have long had criminal laws targeting harmful expression. Canada is one such country. Using the leading Canadian cases of R v. Zundel and R v. Keegstra, this article argues that the Canadian experience suggests the criminal law is a flawed mechanism for countering harmful expression. This is so for at least three reasons. First, hate-speech prosecutions may undermine the group dignity and sense of inclusion of minority groups. Second, criminal laws …


White Christian Nationalism & Antisemitism: A True Threat, Doron Kalir Jan 2025

White Christian Nationalism & Antisemitism: A True Threat, Doron Kalir

FIU Law Review

The ideology of Jewish hatred, also known as antisemitism, has deep roots. In the United States, antisemitism has known a long and complicated history; in the early 1940s, it reached peak levels. Now, more than 80 years later, antisemitism again rears its ugly head, aiming to end the Golden Age of American Jewry. The exclusionary ideology aiming to obliterate the wall separating Church and state, and to institutionalize Christian identity and values into the public square, also known as White Christian Nationalism, has deep roots. In the United States, it had a long and complicated history; by the mid 1920s, …


Never Again: Zionism And The Jewess, Rona Kaufman Jan 2025

Never Again: Zionism And The Jewess, Rona Kaufman

FIU Law Review

The State of Israel was established, in part, to ensure that Jews would never again be killed with impunity. More specifically, the State of Israel was established to ensure that never again would Jewish women and girls be systematically raped, assaulted, violated, and mutilated in a pogrom-like attack against the Jewish people. It is well known that the sweep of history connects Jews with the land of Israel from ancient times to today and serves as an important foundation for political Zionism. Less understood is that the atrocities against Jewish women and girls, committed over thousands of years and across …


Cracking The Quotas: The 1948 New York Fair Educational Practices Act And The Jewish Quest For Color-Blindness, Miyuki Kita Jan 2025

Cracking The Quotas: The 1948 New York Fair Educational Practices Act And The Jewish Quest For Color-Blindness, Miyuki Kita

FIU Law Review

This article explores how vigorously Jews pushed to enact the 1948 New York Fair Educational Practices Act to fight anti-Jewish quotas in higher education. The Act was the first state-level legislation to prohibit higher educational institutions from excluding, limiting or otherwise discriminating against persons seeking admission as students because of race, religion, creed, color, or national origin. Seeking a way to overcome discrimination in university admissions, Jews sought to combat it by promoting racially and religiously neutral admission procedures within the broad context of the expansion of opportunities in higher education after World War II instead of directly attacking antisemitism. …


How To Teach A Course On Land Use And Anti-Jewish Discrimination, Michael Lewyn Jan 2025

How To Teach A Course On Land Use And Anti-Jewish Discrimination, Michael Lewyn

FIU Law Review

In 2022, I was asked to teach a one-week mini-course within a broader course on “Structural Barriers and the Pursuit of Equity,” a course focusing on various forms of structural discrimination The course is typically taught by over a dozen professors from various parts of Touro University, each of whom teaches for a week on a different topic. I chose to teach on issues related to land use law (because my scholarship focuses on that area) and in particular how land use law has been used by and against traditionally observant Jews (because that is the religious tradition I am …


Lessons For The Trump Administration From The Biden U.S. National Strategy To Counter Antisemitism, Lili Levi Jan 2025

Lessons For The Trump Administration From The Biden U.S. National Strategy To Counter Antisemitism, Lili Levi

FIU Law Review

In May 2023, the Biden Administration issued the first-ever U.S. National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism with a goal of hindering further normalization of antisemitism by increasing public awareness of antisemitism and highlighting positive Jewish contributions to America. Recent events, however, particularly the social and political upheaval over protests of the war in Gaza, have led to public contestation over Israel, increased instances of antisemitism, and the partisan politicization of Jewish issues. All this has raised questions about whether the National Strategy's assumptions about public attitudes, the viability of antisemitism awareness initiatives, and the possibility of whole-of-society agreement on countering antisemitism …


Sabbath Accommodations As A Civil Right: History, Title Vii, And The Path To Groff V. Dejoy, Isaac May Jan 2025

Sabbath Accommodations As A Civil Right: History, Title Vii, And The Path To Groff V. Dejoy, Isaac May

FIU Law Review

In Groff v. DeJoy, which concerned a Christian Sabbath observer, Jewish groups were vindicated by the Court’s overturning Hardison v. Transworld Airlines and strengthening Title VII’s protections for religion, particularly around employees’ Sabbath observance. This article positions Groff within the history of Jewish efforts to secure employment protections for Sabbath worship. Efforts to secure Sabbath accommodations were an outgrowth and expansion of early twentieth-century efforts to ensure Jews were protected by public accommodation laws and a product of attempts by litigators such as Leo Pfeffer to end mandatory Sunday closing laws in the mid-twentieth century. Sabbath accommodations became a critical …


Right Not To Work: Unions And Title Vii, Seth Oranburg Jan 2025

Right Not To Work: Unions And Title Vii, Seth Oranburg

FIU Law Review

This article explores how Title VII's mandate for religious accommodation conflicts with union seniority rights, as revealed in Groff v. DeJoy. It argues that labor unions often oppose Sabbath accommodations not out of hostility to religion, but to protect bargained-for entitlements. The piece highlights a growing legal tension: whether co-worker burdens count as “undue hardship” under Title VII—a question with major implications for religious liberty in unionized workplaces.


How Much Antisemitism Is There In The United States? Incidences Vs. Impacts, Ira Sheskin Jan 2025

How Much Antisemitism Is There In The United States? Incidences Vs. Impacts, Ira Sheskin

FIU Law Review

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) (www.adl.org), founded in 1913, is one of the nation's premier civil rights organizations and was formed to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. Every year since 1979, the ADL has published an Audit of Antisemitic Incidents in the US (https://www.adl.org/resources/report/audit-antisemitic-incidents-2023). The Audit receives significant publicity and is important in communicating the problem of serious antisemitic incidents and the year-to-year increases in such incidents. But, based on surveys of American Jews, the Audit underestimates the extent to which American Jews are being impacted by antisemitism. Survey data …

Exploring The Intersectionality Of Antisemitism And The Law: A Case Study Of The Crown Heights Riots And Aftermath, Stephen Sussman, Carole Huberman Jan 2025

Exploring The Intersectionality Of Antisemitism And The Law: A Case Study Of The Crown Heights Riots And Aftermath, Stephen Sussman, Carole Huberman

FIU Law Review

Antisemitism does not exist in isolation; it often intersects with other forms of discrimination and prejudice. Examining these intersections is crucial to understanding the broader dynamics of discrimination and developing effective strategies. Antisemitism and racism often intersect in complex ways. Historical examples include the portrayal of Jews as racially inferior or “other” during periods of heightened racial tension. This intersection has implications for policies related to hate crimes, racial profiling, and equal protection under the law. This research examines the complex interplay between antisemitism and the legal system, using the Crown Heights Riots of 1991 as a focal point. The …


Nil Collectives And The Disadvantage Dilemma: Disparities And Challenges In Collegiate Athletics, Arianna Garcia Jan 2025

Nil Collectives And The Disadvantage Dilemma: Disparities And Challenges In Collegiate Athletics, Arianna Garcia

FIU Law Review

For a long time, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)’s principle of amateurism, the concept that student-athletes should not profit from their name, image, and likeness (NIL) while competing in collegiate athletics, was strongly upheld. However, it quickly became a challenge for the NCAA to defend its principle of amateurism after thousands of advocates, including universities and student-athletes themselves, began to criticize the NCAA. Finally, after decades of fighting for more equitable rights for student-athletes, the NCAA made a change to its NIL Policy as a result of two major landmark cases. The NCAA, however, now faces another challenge amidst …

Climate Finance Needs More Market Discipline, Richard Morrison Jan 2025

Climate Finance Needs More Market Discipline, Richard Morrison

FIU Law Review

The market for climate and sustainability-driven products and services is potentially very large and thus attractive to many investors and entrepreneurs. However, its current reliance on public subsidies and capital flows is a significant weakness that often goes unacknowledged.

Adding Complexity To The International Climate Finance Framework: The Loss And Damage Fund, Henrique Schneider Jan 2025

Adding Complexity To The International Climate Finance Framework: The Loss And Damage Fund, Henrique Schneider

FIU Law Review

How do they relate to the other institutions engaged in climate finance? Responding to these questions helps understanding why setting up this fund was controversial among climate negotiators and remains a source of potential problems legally and from the point of view of climate economics. This text is organized as follows: Section 1 briefly describes the different types of global institutions dedicated to climate finance. Section 2 discusses the genesis of the Loss and Damage Fund. Section …

The Ethical Dilemma Of The Highest Court: Could Congress Constitutionally Impose A Binding Code Of Ethics On The United States Supreme Court?, Amys Serret Jan 2025

The Ethical Dilemma Of The Highest Court: Could Congress Constitutionally Impose A Binding Code Of Ethics On The United States Supreme Court?, Amys Serret

FIU Law Review

In response to mounting ethical concerns about Supreme Court Justices, the Court introduced its own Code of Conduct in November 2023, likely prompted by recent controversies involving Justice Clarence Thomas. This code aimed to dispel the public perception that Supreme Court Justices operate without ethical boundaries. The code mirrors the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, established in 1973, outlining ethical rules and principles for the Justices. It shares the same five canons and includes most provisions from the lower federal judges’ code, albeit with some differences. Although the Court’s ability to establish its own code is unquestioned, this …

“Modernizing Regulatory Review”: A Short-Lived Abandonment Of More Than Four Decades Of Regulatory Review And Benefit-Cost Analysis, Richard Belzer Jan 2025

“Modernizing Regulatory Review”: A Short-Lived Abandonment Of More Than Four Decades Of Regulatory Review And Benefit-Cost Analysis, Richard Belzer

FIU Law Review

"President Biden’s Modernizing Regulatory Review (MRR) initiative fundamentally altered regulatory procedures, practices, and centralized oversight that had been in place since 1981 when they were formalized by President Reagan in Executive Order 12,291. MRR proceeded in three phases. First, a Memorandum issued on President Biden’s first day in office telegraphing the broad outlines of the plan. Second, more than two years later, an Executive Order codifying the MRR memorandum was issued, combined with implementation guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). And third, OMB guidance on the conduct of regulatory BCA was radically revised, clearly with an …
