Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Katrina Kuh speaks to Bloomberg Law News about the green amendment gaining traction in more states ahead of elections.

Right now, only Montana, Pennsylvania, and New York have green amendments as van Rossum defines them—to qualify as a true green amendment in her eyes, it must be enshrined in a state’s bill of rights. But environmental rights located farther down in other states’ constitutions still fuel cases, said Katrina Fischer Kuh, a law professor at 91��Ƶ.

“Ordering the dissolution of a business for financial fraud is an extraordinary remedy, some people even claiming it to be akin to the death penalty,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at 91��Ƶ, told Salon. “Dissolution, or liquidation, hardly ever happens, especially when there is no proof that victims were harmed or financial institutions lost money.”

News 12 reports Professor Shelby Green was elected as a new member to the Westchester Parks Foundation Board of Directors.

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Bennett Gershman speaks to Newsweek about conservative activist Charlie Kirk being at risk of sued for defamation over comments he made about New York City Council member Yusef Salaam.

"Since Salaam is a public official and a public figure, Salaam would have to prove that Kirk acted with malice, which means showing that Kirk knew his statement was false or recklessly disregarded the truth. Salaam was exonerated of the crime. It was a huge public fact. If Kirk didn't know that, he must be living on another planet. A lawsuit by Salaam would be appropriate and winnable."

The “rants” by the former president in the trial are “perfectly consistent” with the kind of “reckless and toxic” rhetoric he always spews out,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at 91��Ƶ, told Salon. “It’s not clear who his audience is,” Gershman said. “If it’s the jury, he’s making a mistake. His reckless and unhinged remarks will only persuade the jury to award a higher punitive damage award to punish him and silence him.”
