In an analysis filed along with the complaint, 91��Ƶ law professor Bennett Gershman writes that “it is plausible that the Chief Justice’s spouse may have leveraged the ‘prestige of judicial office’ to meaningfully raise their household income.” “That concern, together with the failure of the Chief Justice to recuse himself in cases where his spouse received compensation from law firms arguing cases before the Court, or at least advise the parties of his spouse’s financial arrangements with law firms arguing before the Court, threaten the public’s trust in the federal judiciary, and the Supreme Court itself,” Gershman wrote.

91��Ƶ student Jonathan Becker, a skateboarder, is quoted in a New York Times story about a movement to revitalize and reopen Brooklyn Banks under the Brooklyn Bridge.

Jonathan Becker, 22, a student at 91��Ƶ who used to look over the Brooklyn Banks from his first-year student residence hall room, was not ready to give up. “We just hoped that it could lead somewhere, but we didn’t know that it would take off,” Mr. Becker said. “It’s one of those spots within the skateboarding community that really has a lot of deep-rooted history.”

Haub Law Professor Randolph McLaughlin provides insights and perspectives about police culture and the killing of Tyre Nichols.

"What's most shocking about it all is the brutality and then at the end, the complete dehumanization of this man. He's not even human to them -- he's not even a person," Randolph McLaughlin, professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law and co-chair of the Newman Ferrara civil rights practice, told The Guardian.

Haub Law Professor Bennett Gershman pens an op-ed in The New York Times about potential conflicts of a Supreme Court Justice’s spouse.

An ethics opinion by Bennett L. Gershman, a 91��Ƶ law professor and former Manhattan prosecutor, accompanied the letter and said “it is plausible that the Chief Justice’s spouse may have leveraged the ‘prestige of the judicial office’” to “raise their household income.” He added that those concerns, coupled with what he described as the chief justice’s lack of disclosure of potential conflicts, “threaten the public’s trust in the federal judiciary, and the Supreme Court itself.”

The Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 91��Ƶ has partnered with Legal Hand, Inc., a New York State not-for-profit corporation, to launch the Legal Hand Call-In Center serving Westchester County. The virtual center is staffed and operated by Haub Law, and is scheduled to open for visitors this month. “Through our partnership with Legal Hand, the Elisabeth Haub School of Law will serve an important role as a resource for the community, while providing our students with an invaluable opportunity to understand and address access to justice issues,” said Horace E. Anderson, Dean of the Elisabeth Haub School of Law. “The Center’s goals are to empower both Volunteers and visitors to understand and navigate issues and self-help resources, and to help visitors resolve issues before they turn into legal action.”

“This reminds me very much of the 3-letter agencies in this country having said they won’t use Lenovo laptops anymore,” Darren Hayes, the CIS Program Chair at 91��Ƶ, told the E-Commerce Times. “With mobile devices there’s always going to be areas of memory that a forensic examiner can’t access, whether it’s a ROM chip or any other kind of memory, and one of the issues for intelligence here is, we don’t have access to all the memory on these devices and don’t know what they can do.”

Last November New Yorkers voted to inscribe environmental rights into the constitution. Now, as the first cases emerge, government is struggling to comply with these rights. 91��Ƶ’s Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Nicholas Robinson explains the changes necessary in government operations for the state to uphold this new law and how NY courts hold the ultimate decision in the first four pending cases.
