Public Policy And Antisocial Testators, Ronald J. Scalise Jr. Mar 2011

Public Policy And Antisocial Testators, Ronald J. Scalise Jr.

Cardozo Law Review

This Article challenges the conventional wisdom that "deadhand" control by testators in certain situations is violative of public policy and should not be enforced. Specifically, it argues that many legacies conditioned on a beneficiary acting a certain way or doing a certain thing, such as not marrying or remarrying, should be enforced. This Article argues that the modern approach of disallowing conditions or restrictions on marital freedom in legacies is a product of a bygone era and that the reasons employed for invalidating such conditions are no longer sufficient justifications in the modern day for the current approach of courts. …

Sending The Principal To The Warden's Office: Holding School Officials Criminally Liable For Failing To Report Cyberbullying, Scott Farbish Jan 2011

Sending The Principal To The Warden's Office: Holding School Officials Criminally Liable For Failing To Report Cyberbullying, Scott Farbish

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that current state anti-cyberbullying statutes are insufficient to protect students and that holding school officials criminally liable for failing to address cyberbullying incidents would be a more effective deterrent. It contends that while legislatures have made progress in addressing cyberbullying, the lack of clear definitions and comprehensive measures leaves victims without adequate remedies. The note proposes that criminal liability for school officials would incentivize proactive measures to prevent cyberbullying, particularly in cases where off-campus incidents disrupt the school environment.


The First Amendment Degraded: Milkovich V. Lorain And A Continuing Sense Of Loss On Its 20th Birthday, Richard H. Weisberg Oct 2010

The First Amendment Degraded: Milkovich V. Lorain And A Continuing Sense Of Loss On Its 20th Birthday, Richard H. Weisberg

Articles

The article critiques the Supreme Court's decision in Milkovich v. Alabama, arguing that it undermines First Amendment protections by narrowing the distinction between fact and opinion in defamation cases. The Court's ruling, led by Chief Justice Rehnquist, held that statements implying false facts are actionable, even if framed as opinions. This decision, the article contends, reverses the constitutional logic of earlier precedents like New York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which trusted audiences to discern fact from opinion. The article warns that Milkovich erodes the First Amendment's faith in audience discernment, fostering a paternalistic judicial approach that stifles public debate.

Regulating The Airwaves In Israel's Burgeoning Democracy: Why The Israeli High Court Of Justice Should Have Acknowledged Free Speech In The Case Of Arutz Seven, Maya Tarr

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note examines the role of the Supreme Court of Israel in promoting democracy and freedom of speech, highlighting its interpretation of Basic Laws to include these rights. It critiques the Court's analysis in the Hok Habezek amendment case for not adequately addressing freedom of speech, despite its significant rulings in cases like Kol Haam v. Minister of Interior Affairs.

Prescribing Orthodoxy, Kelly Sarabyn Apr 2010

Prescribing Orthodoxy, Kelly Sarabyn

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article examines the constitutional implications of government actions that compel ideological conformity, particularly focusing on the First Amendment's prohibition against coerced ideological speech. It argues that while the Supreme Court has established that the government cannot force citizens to adopt specific ideological beliefs, the legal framework remains unclear and inconsistent. The analysis emphasizes the need for a structured approach to determine when such coercion crosses constitutional boundaries, especially in cases involving captive audiences and government speech. The author proposes that the prohibition on prescribing orthodoxy should explicitly ban the use of nonrational methods to influence citizens' beliefs, ensuring a …


A Right To Bare All? Female Public Toplessness And Dealing With The Laws That Prohibit, Danielle Moriber Apr 2010

A Right To Bare All? Female Public Toplessness And Dealing With The Laws That Prohibit, Danielle Moriber

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note examines the legal and societal implications of women's right to be topless in public, arguing that this issue intersects with First Amendment rights, equal protection under the law, and cultural perceptions of gender and modesty. It contends that while societal norms heavily influence laws restricting female toplessness, such restrictions often disproportionately target women and raise constitutional concerns. The analysis advocates for a balanced approach, such as zoning regulations, to address these issues while respecting individual rights and community standards.


Proving Fair Use: Burden Of Proof As Burden Of Speech, Ned Snow Apr 2010

Proving Fair Use: Burden Of Proof As Burden Of Speech, Ned Snow

Cardozo Law Review

Courts have created a burden of proof in copyright that chills protected speech. The doctrine of fair use purports to ensure that copyright law does not trample rights of speakers whose expression employs copyrighted material. Yet those speakers face a burden of proof that weighs heavily in the fair use analysis, where factual inquiries are often subjective and speculative. Failure to satisfy the burden means severe penalties, which prospect quickly chills the free exercise of speech that constitutes a fair use. The fair-use burden of proof is repugnant to the fair use purpose. Today, copyright holders are exploiting the burden …

"Cover My Pills": Contraceptive Equity And Religious Liberty In Catholic Charities V. Dinallo, Ayelet S. Lebovicz Jan 2010

"Cover My Pills": Contraceptive Equity And Religious Liberty In Catholic Charities V. Dinallo, Ayelet S. Lebovicz

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note  examines the tension between the New York Womens Health and Wellness Act's (WHWA) goal of promoting women's health through contraceptive access and its burden on the First Amendment rights of religious employers. It argues that while the WHWA advances significant public health interests, its contraceptive mandate imposes substantial burdens on religious freedom and free speech, necessitating strict scrutiny. The analysis critiques the New York Court of Appeals' decision for failing to fully consider the plaintiffs' hybrid-rights claims under Supreme Court precedent, highlighting the need for lawmakers to balance competing interests while adhering to constitutional protections.


Behavioral Decision Theory And Implications For The Supreme Court's Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Molly J. Walker Wilson Jan 2010

Behavioral Decision Theory And Implications For The Supreme Court's Campaign Finance Jurisprudence, Molly J. Walker Wilson

Cardozo Law Review

America stands at a moment in history when advances in the understanding of human decision-making are increasing the strategic efficacy of political strategy. As campaign spending for the presidential race reaches hundreds of millions of dollars, the potential for harnessing the power of psychological tactics becomes considerable. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has characterized campaign money as "speech" and has required evidence of corruption or the appearance of corruption in order to uphold restrictions on campaign expenditures. Ultimately, the Court has rejected virtually all restrictions on campaign spending on the ground that expenditures, unlike contributions, do not contribute to corruption or …

Disclosure Of Juror Identities To The Press: Who Will Speak For The Jurors?, Kenneth J. Melilli Oct 2009

Disclosure Of Juror Identities To The Press: Who Will Speak For The Jurors?, Kenneth J. Melilli

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that courts misapply the First Amendment right of access by disclosing juror identities, which can lead to harassment. It advocates for concealing juror information to protect them, similar to how soldiers are protected after service. The solution proposed is to respect jurors' preferences regarding disclosure.


Safeguarding The Integrity Of Tribal Elections Through Campaign Finance Regulation, Paul W. Shagen Oct 2009

Safeguarding The Integrity Of Tribal Elections Through Campaign Finance Regulation, Paul W. Shagen

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The article argues that Indian tribes must enact comprehensive campaign finance regulations to protect the integrity of their electoral processes, balancing the need to prevent corruption with First Amendment rights. These regulations must navigate the restrictive framework set by the Montana ruling, which limits tribal authority over nonmembers, while leveraging tribal sovereignty and cultural values to uphold self-governance. The analysis emphasizes the importance of aligning such regulations with both the Buckley framework and tribal constitutions to ensure enforceability and respect for collective interests.
