Sorting Out Federal And State Judicial Roles In State Insitutional Reform: Abstention's Potential Role, Charles R. Wise, Robert K. Christensen
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The U.S. Supreme Court has given federal courts the authority to abstain from hearing certain cases and defer to state courts in some cases where constitutional or federal statutory rights have been violated. This piece attempts to clarify the abstention requirements and provide a clear rationale for the doctrine. Part I of this piece discusses the origin and development of the abstention doctrine, focusing specifically on the Burford abstention, a kind of abstention particularly salient to institutional reform cases. Part I also illustrates the inconsistencies inherent in the application of the abstention doctrine in its current form. Parts II and …
A Precept Of Managerial Responsibility: Securing Collective Justice In Instituational Reform Litigation, Anthony M. Bertelli, Laurence E. Lynn Jr.
A Precept Of Managerial Responsibility: Securing Collective Justice In Instituational Reform Litigation, Anthony M. Bertelli, Laurence E. Lynn Jr.
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Institutional reform litigation confronts public administrators with troubling dilemmas, court directives often contradict the duties and responsibilities of public managers. Thus, the argument for judicial intervention is rarely straightforward. The authors argue that federal courts should refuse to hear institutional reform cases not only when federal court intervention would upset a state administrative scheme, but also when the institutional defendant is governed by a precept of managerial responsibility. When the agency's challenged actions have comported with this precept, they urge federal courts to let their state counterparts determine the agency's managerial responsibility in a common law process. The analysis begins, …

Why The New York State System For Obtaining A License To Carry A Concealed Weapon Is Unconstitutional, Suzanne Novak
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The New York State administrative system for obtaining a license to carry a concealed weapon violates the state constitution and the tenets of administrative law vital to a democratic society. This article discusses the failures of the New York State administrative procedures for issuing carry licenses. In addition, this article asserts that by avoiding policy determinations, the legislature has created a system that disadvantages both individual applicants and the public at large. This article concludes that both the New York Legislature and courts must act to rectify the state's unconstitutional and undemocratic scheme for issuing carry licenses.

Modifying The Escalera Consent Decree: A Case Study On The Application Of The Rufo Test, Valerie D. White
Modifying The Escalera Consent Decree: A Case Study On The Application Of The Rufo Test, Valerie D. White
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Note argues that modifying the Escalera degree is appropriate under Rufo and would allow NYCHA to maintain a safe environment for its residents. It expains the standard used in modifying a consent decree, pre- and post-Rufo, as well as the difficulties in applying the Rufo test. It traces the history of the Escalera Consent Decree, outlines the arguments for and against modification, and applies Rufo to the proposed modification of Escalera, arguing that modification is appropriate because the facts have changed significantly since the Decree was signed, and the modification sought is appropriately tailored to those changed circumstances.

The Brown V. Giuliani Injunction: Combating Bureaucratic Disentitlement, Maria Fazzolari
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This Comment supports the preliminary injunction decision in Brown v. Giuliani, and demonstrates why judicial intervention is appropriate in welfare litigation to protect the constitutional rights of welfare recipients. It describes the New York City welfare administration system and its statutory framework, detailing the bureaucratic problems facing the system. It also describes "bureaucratic disentitlement," whereby largely obscure administrative proceedings function to effectively delay of deny welfare payments to eligible recipients. It examines the traditional judicial remedies and their general impotence in combating bureaucratic disentitlement, and the preliminary injunction decision granted in Brown and the justiciability of separation of powers issues …
Adjudicative Retroactivity In Administrative Law , Abner S. Greene
Adjudicative Retroactivity In Administrative Law , Abner S. Greene
Faculty Scholarship
Although decided forty-five years ago, SEC v Cbenery Corp. ("Cbenery II") remains the Supreme Court's leading statement on the issue of retroactivity in administrative adjudication. According to Chenery II, administrative agencies may give meaning to statutory terms through adjudication, even if the rules applied in a particular adjudication have not been previously announced. The Court acknowledged that "announcing and applying a new standard of conduct" in an adjudicative proceeding would have a retroactive effect, but concluded that the agency's duty to be faithful to the "statutory design or to legal and equitable principles" may override concerns about retroactivity. The Court …

There May Be Cracks In The Foundation: An Analysis Of Pennsylvania's Current Approach To Legislative Review Of Agency Rulemaking , Nicholas J. Johnson
Faculty Scholarship
As the legislative delegation of power to administrative agencies has grown over recent decades, so have calls for controls on agencies exercise of that power and particularly for controls on agency rulemaking. In response, various state legislatures have introduced a myriad of designs introducing legislative oversight and control over administrative regulations. Pennsylvania has joined these states by offering a means of legislative review of agency rulemaking in the form of the Regulatory Review Act of 1989 (Act 19). Pursuant to the Act, the Pennsylvania Legislature created an entity called the Independent Regulatory Review Commission and assigned to the Commission the …

Section III of this article …
New Business Development, Hugh L. Carey
New Business Development, Hugh L. Carey
Fordham Urban Law Journal
This article discusses ways in which the states and the federal government can promote the continued development of new business. Carey identifies three reforms in which states could institute that would improve the business climate: taxes, development finance initiatives and regulatory reform. He discusses how current tax policies discourage risk taking behavior and suggests that any tax cut should aim to increase the liquidity available for capital investment, such as exempting investments made within a firm's first five years of existence from state capital gains tax, refunding investment tax credits, and broadening state sales tax exemptions. Carey also highlights how …
Federal Financing Of Urban Economic Development, S. William Green, Nancy W. Hunt
Federal Financing Of Urban Economic Development, S. William Green, Nancy W. Hunt
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Green and Hunt address the issue of whether the federal government should focus on "solving the nation's macroeconomic problems" with the hope that it will encourage local economic activity, or focus directly on "localities that are in social, economic or fiscal distress." They discuss and highlight the shortcomings of past federal initiatives to aid declining urban areas such as Hoover's Reconstruction Finance Corporation, the Housing Act of 1954, the Urban Development Action Grant program, the Community Development Block Grant, the Area Redevelopment Act, the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965 and the Reagan Administrations Kemp-Garcia plan. Green and …
