GOLDBERG, HARRIET ANTCZAK & MARK MUSICO Family law literature, while diverse in its exploration of contemporary families, also offers important threads of consensus. These strong points of coherence, when brought together with relevant case law, can be a useful means of advancing the academic conversation as well as engaging directly with courts to shape the law's development. In a field as complex as family law, myriad academic viewpoints on any given issue often make it difficult to imagine scholarly discussion having utility for courts. As we aim to show here, however, amicus briefs can be important vehicles for synthesizing the literature, highlighting basic points of COLUMBIA JOURNAL OF GENDER AND LAW consensus and connecting family law scholarship to ongoing cases.

  • Touro College Jacob D. Fuchsberg Law Center Presents Charles A
    TOURO COLLEGE JACOB D. FUCHSBERG LAW CENTER PRESENTS CHARLES A. REICH (1928-2019) Charles Reich was born in New York City in 1928. His father Carl was a doctor who specialized in hematology. His mother pursued a career in school administration. Charles’ younger brother Peter was born in 1931. At his mother’s direction, Charles attended progressive schools in New York City. After high school, Charles attended Oberlin, where he excelled as a liberal arts student. Uncertain about what to do after graduation, he decided to apply to Yale Law School. This decision was made after speaking with Professor Tom Emerson, a family friend and professor at the law school. Reich was admitted and matriculated in the fall of 1949. Although he often shied away from speaking in class, Reich was an excellent law student. His strong academic performance earned him an early slot on the Yale Law Journal. Later he was elected editor-in-chief of the Yale Law Journal. During his last year of law school, Reich applied for a clerkship with Justice Hugo Black. He found Black’s dissents in a number of civil liberties cases inspiring and enlisted support from Dean Wesley Sturges, Professor Emerson, and Professor David Haber for his application. In his letter of recommendation, Professor Haber noted that “despite an outer appearance of reticence and modesty, [Reich] proves to be an extremely warm and outgoing person, quite sensitive to, and aware of some of the problems of leading a life that has integrity and meaning.” Reich interviewed with Justice Black, and was offered the clerkship.

Luckman et al.: Three Years Later THREE YEARS LATER, SANDY SURVIVORS REMAIN HOMELESS Melissa H. Luckman, Esq.*, Daniel Strafer, Esq.**, Christina Lipski*** I. INTRODUCTION Americans have long felt the devastating financial burden of the catastrophic effects of flooding. With annual economic losses averaging a whopping fifty billion dollars per year, flooding has no- toriously earned its place as the most costly, and unfortunately the most common, natural disaster to disrupt the United States. Flooding is the greatest financial danger among the possible hazards brought on by hurricanes, which often bring flooding hundreds of miles in- land, placing communities that normally would not be affected by the strongest hurricane winds in great danger. A mere few inches of wa- ter due to flooding could mean damages costing upwards of five fig- ures. On October 28, 2012, Superstorm Sandy (“Sandy”) pushed its way ashore in New Jersey and New York with a devastating storm surge, causing significant damage estimated to be the second-costliest cyclone to hit the United States since 1900.1 The Superstorm and its relentless storm surge resulted in damage or destruction to a mini- * Practitioner-in-Residence, Disaster Relief Clinic, Touro College, Jacob D.
