In September, we were honored to have the 14th Dalai Lama as a guest in our Law School library one day after his lecture to 172 30,000 at UB’s football stadium. His Holiness had a 90-minute conversation with 15 select- ed legal scholars and delivered a message of the centrality of compassion not only for our Alumni Profiles correspondence – but an even greater responsibility as an associate justice of New York’s highest court. He was appointed in August by Gov. George E. Pataki, the last high court ap- pointment by the Republican governor, who called him “a man of extraordinary character, intelligence, integrity, colle- giality and commitment to the rule of law.” Pigott had made the shortlist three times previously for a seat on the Court of Appeals. The move comes as the crowning achievement of a long legal career that began at UB Law School but was incu- bated when he was growing up on a family farm near Rochester, with Perry Mason on TV. “I always wanted to be a trial lawyer,” Pigott says, “and I always thought, and still do, that trial lawyers are the jet pilots of the profession.” He graduated from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, and enrolled at UB Law in 1968 – only to be drafted, yanked out of class in November of his first year, and sent to Vietnam as an interpreter. “I was in a Civil Affairs unit and was called a lo- gistics adviser,” he says. “My job was to talk to the locals as we would rebuild EASTWARD the schools and offices that had been destroyed.

  • Securities Market Structure and Regulation
    INTRODUCTION In beginning this symposium on the structure and regulation of the securities markets, I’m sure we will all keep in mind George Santayana’s caution that: “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”1 Although enormous changes have taken place over the past few decades, we keep hearing echoes of the past. When the London Stock Exchange (LSE) switched from floor-based to electronic trading exactly twenty years ago, it decided that the transformation might be too traumatic for its members, so it adopted a hybrid market—an electronic market combined with traditional floor trading. The hybrid market lasted just over four months, at which time the LSE closed its floor for trading in equities. Will the New York Stock Exchange’s experience with its new hybrid market be the same or different? The Consolidated Limited Order Book (CLOB), which I expect will be discussed today, was first proposed to the SEC thirty years ago by Professor Peake, one of today’s speakers, in 1976, a year after Congress told the SEC to create a national market system. The CLOB, which would execute investors’ orders electronically under a rule of time and price priority, seemed to him the best way to assure best execution of investors’ orders throughout the national market system. In 1978, the SEC told the exchanges to create a CLOB. A year later the Commission had second thoughts: it feared that a CLOB would lead to the elimination of exchange trading floors by inexorably forcing all trading into a fully automated trading system.

In our globalized era, it is tempting to imagine that urban experiences have a quality of sameness: skyscrapers, subways and chain stores; a density of bricks and humanity; a sense of urgency and striving. The essays in Mthis collection make clear how wrong that assumption would be: from the dreamland of Jonathan Kellerman’s Los Angeles to the vibrant awakening of Edna Buchanan’s Miami; from the mid-century tenements of Pete Hamill’s beloved Brooklyn to the haunted viaducts of Stuart Dybek’s Pilsen neighborhood in Chicago; from the natural beauty and human diversity of Charles Johnson’s Seattle to the past and present myths of Richard Ford’s New Orleans, these reminiscences and musings conjure for us the richness and strangeness of any individual’s urban life, the way that our Claire Messud is the author of three imaginations and identities and literary histories are intertwined in a novels and a book of novellas.

  • The Common Law Powers of the New York State Attorney General
    THE COMMON LAW POWERS OF THE NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL Bennett Liebman* The role of the Attorney General in New York State has become increasingly active, shifting from mostly defensive representation of New York to also encompass affirmative litigation on behalf of the state and its citizens. As newly-active state Attorneys General across the country begin to play a larger role in national politics and policymaking, the scope of the powers of the Attorney General in New York State has never been more important. This Article traces the constitutional and historical development of the At- torney General in New York State, arguing that the office retains a signifi- cant body of common law powers, many of which are underutilized. The Article concludes with a discussion of how these powers might influence the actions of the Attorney General in New York State in the future.

    STATEWIDE RACES • GOVERNOR• Democratic Primary PREFERRED CANDIDATE - ELIOT SPITZER - DEM, WFP, IND Has returned questionnaire; view responses at www.citizensunion.org Occupation: Attorney General, NYS Education: Princeton University (AB); Harvard Law School (JD) Eliot Spitzer was elected Attorney General in 1998 in what was an upset victory over then Attorney General Dennis Vacco that took almost two months for the winner to be declared. In his 8 years in the office, Spitzer has become what many describe as the one of the most effective Attorney Generals in the history of the State of New York, and perhaps the nation. While his accomplishments as an Attorney General are impressive, he is facing a very credible challenger for the Democratic nomination, as well as an accomplished and well known candidate from the Republican Party, should he win the Democratic nomination. As Attorney General, Spitzer has become most well known for the aggressive and directed focus he brought to bear in his pursuit of unethical business practices on Wall Street, where there has been some criticism of his tactics in that pursuit. His prosecution of those companies has played a major part in forcing greater corporate accountability and transparency throughout the nation. His pursuits of unethical business practices has extended to the entertainment industry as well, most notably the action he brought against SONY/BMG Music Entertainment for their role in making payments and providing expensive gifts to radio stations and their employ- ees in return for “airplay” for the company’s songs. Spitzer’s candidacy is built largely upon this established record of action and accom- plishment.

  • Introduction
    1 Introduction n the late 20th century and into the 21st, criminal “profiling” became ubiqui- I tous. Profilers, some but not all lacking professional credentials, appeared on media talk shows, wrote books, or offered their services to policedistribute to help identify and apprehend suspects. At times, the profilers were law enforcement agents or former agents; at other times, they were individuals with academic backgrounds in psychology, psychiatry, criminology, or even literature. orOccasionally, the profilers held dubious degrees from questionable correspondence schools. This range of backgrounds—from the person who has extensive experience in criminal investi- gation or psychological research to the person with minimal credentials seeking the media spotlight—continues today. In crime news, the media sometimes cover stories in which profilers help solve crimes, while other stories indicate theypost, were not accurate in their predictions. Among the most notable in the latter category is the Beltway Sniper case in the fall of 2002, when 10 people were killed and 3 were critically wounded in shootings in Maryland and Virginia and the general Washington, D.C., area over a 3-week period. In that case, profilers told police the sniper probably was white, lived in the vicinity, and acted alone. Because white panel trucks were seen at the site of many of the shootings, atten- tion was placed on these vehicles. The snipers were apprehended without resistance at a rest stop as theycopy, slept in their blue Chevrolet Caprice sedan with a shooting hole cut out of its trunk. They were identified as 41-year-old John Allen Muhammad and his 17-year-old companion, Lee Boyd Malvo.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. Introduction Today, terrorism takes many forms. However, the rise of the self- radicalized lone wolf terrorist has created an increasing dilemma in today’s security environment. This type of emerging terrorism is increasingly found among right-wing reactionaries and religiously radicalized jihadists. With increasingly effective security environments, leaderless resistance has emerged as a threat and tactic facilitated by the internet and other modern information outlets. The unabomber, Oklahoma City bomber, Fort Hood and Oslo assailants are examples of this new form of terrorist. Through the development of a sociologically informed typology that categorizes lone wolf terrorism in terms of motivation, extent of radicalization, form, and risk-awareness, a more relevant understanding of this type of non-normative behavior is proposed. Terrorism, as a social construct, takes place within a given historical and social context (Schmid:1992).
