The Work/Family Balance: New York's Struggle To Harmonize Domestic And Employment Spheres, Kerry Anne Hoffman

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note examines the challenges faced by American workers in balancing work and family responsibilities, highlighting the limitations of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and advocating for the implementation of paid family leave policies. It emphasizes the need for both federal and state-level reforms to address the financial and societal barriers that prevent employees, particularly low-income families and single parents, from utilizing unpaid leave. The note also explores the progress made by states like California, New Jersey, and Washington in enacting paid family leave legislation, while noting the ongoing political opposition to such measures in New York. It …

Disaster Mediation: Lessons In Conflict Coordination And Collaboration, Mel Rubin Jan 2008

Disaster Mediation: Lessons In Conflict Coordination And Collaboration, Mel Rubin

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

All of us have been affected by disasters, either directly or indirectly. Although natural and manmade disasters have occurred throughout history, the size and scale of future disasters will surely reach regional, national and international proportions. Indeed, there is now and forevermore a disaster industry, in which Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) professionals will certainly play an important role.

Can The Australian Model Be Applied To U.S. Moral Rights Legislation?, Joan Pattarozzi Oct 2007

Can The Australian Model Be Applied To U.S. Moral Rights Legislation?, Joan Pattarozzi

Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law

The note argues that the U.S. should adopt a more comprehensive framework for moral rights in copyright law, drawing inspiration from Australia's balanced approach, to better protect authors' personal and reputational interests while addressing concerns about market disruption and litigation. It highlights the U.S.'s current emphasis on economic rights, its limited implementation of moral rights under the Visual Artists Rights Act (VARA), and the potential for Australia's model to serve as a template for U.S. legislation.


What Does Accidental Mean?: Autoerotic Asphyxiation As An Illustration Of The Problems Affecting Accident Insurance, Gabriel Burnham Jan 2007

What Does Accidental Mean?: Autoerotic Asphyxiation As An Illustration Of The Problems Affecting Accident Insurance, Gabriel Burnham

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The note argues that the legal system's inconsistent interpretation of what constitutes an "accident" in the context of accidental death insurance leads to confusion and inequitable outcomes, particularly in cases involving autoerotic asphyxiation. It advocates for federal regulation to standardize definitions and reduce discrepancies in court decisions.

Reasonableness For Free: Why Buy Employment Practices Liability Insurance When Eeoc.Gov Gives Protection Away?, Glenn Kramer Apr 2005

Reasonableness For Free: Why Buy Employment Practices Liability Insurance When Eeoc.Gov Gives Protection Away?, Glenn Kramer

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note argues that employers can effectively mitigate employment litigation risks by adhering to EEOC guidance and implementing anti-discrimination policies, reducing the need for Employment Practices Liability Insurance (EPLI). It emphasizes that the EEOC's free resources, including its Enforcement Guidance on Vicarious Employer Liability for Unlawful Harassment by Supervisors, provide clear standards and protections for employers, particularly smaller businesses, to avoid liability in harassment and discrimination cases. By following these guidelines, employers can demonstrate "reasonable care" and create a "safe harbor" against litigation, as supported by landmark Supreme Court rulings such as Faragher v. City of Boca Raton and …


Expert Testimony On Sexually Abused Child Syndrome In A Child Protective Proceeding: More Hurtful Than Helpful, Mary Ellen Reilly Apr 2005

Expert Testimony On Sexually Abused Child Syndrome In A Child Protective Proceeding: More Hurtful Than Helpful, Mary Ellen Reilly

Cardozo Public Law, Policy & Ethics Journal

The note argues that Sexually Abused Child Syndrome (SACS) testimony is unreliable and should not be admitted as corroborating evidence in child protective proceedings. It contends that SACS lacks scientific validity, is not recognized as a medical diagnosis, and fails to meet evidentiary standards for reliability. The author asserts that allowing SACS testimony violates due process rights and risks wrongful outcomes, advocating for stricter standards for expert testimony and alternative methods of substantiating abuse allegations.

Maybe Not The Best Solution, But A Solution: The German Foundation Agreement, Jolie Bell Jan 2004

Maybe Not The Best Solution, But A Solution: The German Foundation Agreement, Jolie Bell

Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution

This note will question whether the processes devised by the Agreement really favor survivors, helping them to realize some form of compensation for their insurance polices. Despite the efforts of the Agreement to prevent litigation of such insurance claims, there are still cases being filed, and legislation being proposed, to try to facilitate compensatory actions at a faster pace. While the Agreement on its face seems to be a welcome solution to the vast amount of litigation, it may be that the Agreement was a convenient way for Germany to dispose of the hundreds of thousands of life insurance policy …

Securities Regulation As Lobster Trap: A Credible Commitment Theory Of Mandatory Disclosure, Edward Rock Jan 2002

Securities Regulation As Lobster Trap: A Credible Commitment Theory Of Mandatory Disclosure, Edward Rock

Cardozo Law Review

What functions does the existing mandatory disclosure system serve? In this Article, I argue that the existing SEC system can be understood as providing issuers with a mechanism for making a credible commitment to high quality, comprehensive disclosure for an indefinite period into the future. This credible commitment device is particularly useful to new domestic issuers and to foreign issuers seeking to tap the U.S. capital markets. This credible commitment justification explains the striking but little discussed practical and formal asymmetry between the ease of entry into the SEC system and the difficulty of exit from it. I then consider …

Voidable Preferences And Proceeds: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson Oct 1997

Voidable Preferences And Proceeds: A Reconceptualization, David G. Carlson

Articles

The article examines the complexities surrounding voidable preferences and proceeds in bankruptcy law, particularly when a secured creditor holds a floating lien on a debtor's assets. It argues that payments made by the debtor to unsecured creditors using encumbered funds can be recovered by the bankruptcy trustee as voidable preferences, provided the creditor cannot trace the funds back to their trust property. The analysis critiques existing case law and proposes that the voidable preference right is never part of the debtor's estate, instead being held by the trustee. The article also challenges the notion that good faith purchasers should retain …


Introduction: Three Contributions To Three Important Problems In Evidence Scholarship, Peter Tillers Jul 1997

Introduction: Three Contributions To Three Important Problems In Evidence Scholarship, Peter Tillers

Cardozo Law Review

This issue of the Cardozo Law Review is graced with original contributions about three fundamental problems in evidence scholarship and the law of evidence. First, in an exchange of views about legal remedies for the wrongful infliction of "evidential damage," Professors Ariel Porat and Alex Stein, on the one hand, and Professor Richard Friedman, on the other, touch on some of the difficulties that are associated with the nearly oxymoronic task of measuring the harm done by the destruction or loss of unknown evidence. Second, in an article about the relationship between estimation of drug quantities and burdens of proof, …
