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.

  • PUBLIC SCHOOL 39, 417 Sixth Avenue, Borough of Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission March 8, 1977, Number 3 LP-0952 PUBLIC SCHOOL 39, 417 Sixth Avenue, Borough of Brooklyn. Bui It 1876-77; Samuel B. Leonard, Superintendent of Sui ldings for the Board of Education. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 1000, Lot I. On January II, 1977, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of Public School 39 and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 5). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of 1law. Sixteen witnesses, including City Council Majority Leader Thomas Cuite and a delegation of students, faculty, and parents from the school, spoke in favor of designation. There were no speakers in opposition to designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Public School 39, also known as the Henry Bristow School, has been a neighborhood institution in the southern section of Park Slope for one hundred years. Prominently sited at the corner of Sixth Avenue and Eighth Street, it is a handsome and distrinctive brick school building which combines features of the ltalianate and French Second Empire styles. Opened in 1877, the school is a symbolic I ink to the early history of education in Brooklyn. In 1661, the Town of Breuckelen organized its first public school in a small church. Although the early schools were free, the Dutch, not wishing to accept "charity", insisted on paying an annual tuition of three to four guilders per child. The English, shortly after taking control in 1664, abolished this free school system. It was not until 1795 that New York State passed an act for "the encouragement of schools" which provided for appropriations from the State Treasury for education.

  • 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.
