Sincerity And Reason-Giving: When May Legal Decision Makers Lie, Mathilde Cohen

Faculty Articles and Papers

Public "reason giving" is an essential duty of democracies, said to promote better public decision-making by keeping the government's discretionary powers in check. However, this aim may be compromised if decision-makers cite insincere and misleading justifications as a means of preventing accountability. This Article contributes to rethinking sincerity in legal decision-making by asking both a normative and a descriptive question. The normative question is whether and to what extent should public institutions disclose the reasons for their decisions. The practical question is whether and how the fact that decision-makers have failed to fully disclose their reasons can be established. The …

Telling Through Type: Typography And Narrative In Legal Briefs, Derek H. Kiernan-Johnson

Publications

Most legal authors today self-publish, using basic word-processing software and letting the software’s default settings determine what their documents will look like when printed. As these settings are not optimized for legal texts, they do so at their peril. The default font Times New Roman, for example, as Chief Judge Frank Easterbrook warns, is "utterly inappropriate for long documents [such as] briefs."

Commentators have started urging a more deliberate approach to legal typography. Their suggestions, however, have been content-neutral, intended for all legal texts and focused on goals such as legibility and readability.

Typography, however, has much greater potential. The …

Assuring Access To Justice: The Role Of The Judge In Assisting Pro Se Litigants In Litigating Their Cases In New York City's Housing Court, Paris R. Baldacci

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article advocates for a multi-faceted approach to address the challenges faced by pro se litigants in New York City's Housing Court, emphasizing judicial reforms to enhance accessibility and fairness. It proposes measures such as judicial training, relaxed evidentiary rules, and an inquisitorial model to ensure pro se litigants receive equitable treatment without compromising judicial impartiality. The analysis highlights the need for systemic changes to prevent the denial of equal access to justice and calls for legislative and administrative support to implement these reforms effectively.

CityLand - 2005

The November 2005 issue of CityLand covers a wide range of land use and preservation developments across New York City. The City Council rejected the landmark designation of the Jamaica Savings Bank in Queens, while approving the Far West Village rezoning and the landmarking of the Plaza Hotel’s interior rooms.

The Planning Commission approved the transfer of Admiral’s Row to the Brooklyn Navy Yard and began concurrent review of Columbia University’s expansion and Community Board 9’s …
