A silly smear on the Justice Department
Editorial
March 8, 2010

EXCERPT:

This is a manufactured and silly "scandal." Providing legal representation even for the guilty is in the finest traditions of this country's legal system. And it's not at all uncommon for Justice Department lawyers to have worked in areas that overlap with what they do in government service. As legal ethicist Monroe Freedman has noted, it's no more improper for lawyers who represented detainees to join the Justice Department than it was for Thurgood Marshall, the legendary civil rights litigator and future Supreme Court justice, to serve President Lyndon B. Johnson as solicitor general. (Under ethics rules, Obama's appointees may not participate in particular matters involving previous clients.)

Professor Susan H. Joffe’s article, “Learning to Write or Writing to Learn?: Integration Efforts in Doctrinal Classrooms” has been published in The Learning Curve, a publication of the American Association of Law School section on Academic Support. The article describes a number of techniques for incorporating writing into doctrinal courses.

Money Is Speech: Why the Citizens United v. FEC Ruling Is Bad for Politics and the Market
by Daniel J.H. Greenwood
March 3, 2010

EXCERPT:

If we allow markets to control the political process, we lose democracy. Moreover, we will lose our markets—since successful corporations will simply use money from their past success to buy legislation to guarantee them still more market power.

Professor Ashira Ostrow’s article, JUDICIAL REVIEW OF LOCAL LAND USE DECISIONS: LESSONS FROM RLUIPA, 31 Harv. J.L. & Pub. Pol'y 717 (2008) was recently cited by a federal district court. See, United States v. Boender, 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 15716 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 23, 2010).

Calvin Boender, a real estate developer, was accused of bribing a city alderman (zoning official) as part of a scheme to have property rezoned. Several other alderman were subpoenaed to provide testimony on the zoning decision. The alderman asked the Court to bar inquiry into the question of why they voted for the rezoning (and other legislative matters) at trial, should they be called to testify.

The Court refused to bar inquiry into this matter, noting:

Ashira Pelman Ostrow, Judicial Review of Local Land Use Decisions: Lessons from RLUIPA, 31 HARV. J. L. & PUB. POL'Y 717, 727 (2008) (arguing against deferential judicial review of zoning decisions, in contrast to most economic regulation, in part because a combination of structural [*24] factors "leaves ample room for inconsistency and corruption in the zoning process").

Consumer 10.0: The 'small print' strikes again
by Jeff Gelles
February 28, 2010

EXCERPT:

Retailers' return policies are often minefields. To get an outside perspective on Sixth Avenue's, I contacted Norman Silber, an expert in consumer law at Hofstra University. Without endorsing its particulars, Silber said the policy "doesn't fail the smell test."

Silber says companies can limit customers' options, as long as they adequately disclose their policies and as long as those policies meet the law's essential purpose: that a buyer is entitled to get what he or she paid for, and to a reasonable remedy if the product falls short.
