ALSO IN THIS ISSUE Criminal Law and Mechanisms of Social Control: Recent Faculty Scholarship The 50th Anniversary of the Root-Tilden-Kern The Scholarship Program AND Recent Initiatives in Public Interest Law Law School THE MAGAZINE OF NEW YORK UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW AUTUMN 2003 Training Environmental and Land Use Lawyers for the New Millennium Message from Dean Revesz have now completed my first academic year as dean of NYU School of Law. It has been such a great privilege! Having spent 17 years on the faculty before becoming dean, I knew that the Law School was blessed by extraordinary professors, exceptional stu- I dents, and accomplished administrators and staff members. These were the individuals with whom I interacted every day and who made my job as a faculty member so special. One of the highlights of this year has been to spend consider- able time with another group, our alumni body — through law firm visits, regional trips, academic events, and individual and small-group meetings. The remarkable transformation of the Law School in the last 50 years is due in large part to the love and loyalty that alumni have for the Law School, and to the extent that they are willing to contribute their time, expertise, good judgment, and resources to continuing on this extraordinary journey. The last issue of The Law School began the practice of focusing on one substan- tive area of law in which NYU School of Law has extraordinary strengths. Last year, we described how the Law School’s standing as the leader in international legal education following the founding of the Hauser Global Law School Program in 1994 had been solidified by the recent addition of several outstanding professors to an already extraordinary faculty and by the creation of the Institute for International Law and Justice and the Center for Human Rights and Global Justice. In this issue, we highlight our environmental and land use program. As a faculty member in this area, I marvel at my world-class faculty colleagues, seriously committed students, rich array of curricular offerings, and path-breaking research. The strength of our program ensures that our graduates will have the intellectual tools, problem-solving skills, and practical experience necessary to be leaders in national and international efforts to tackle the serious environmental threats that plague us. At the same time, the Law School’s dedication to enabling diverse forms of scholarship guaran- tees that our faculty will continue to have a significant impact on the development of public policy. I am confident that an independent peer review would conclude that, among the leading law schools in the country, we have the strongest programs in international law and in environmental and land use law. In the coming years, we will write about other programs that meet this ambitious standard. Our other feature, “Public Interest: Yesterday and Today,” focuses on the Root-Tilden-Kern Scholarship Program, which has produced many outstanding leaders in diverse sectors of the legal profession who share an overarching com- mitment to public service. This academic year marks the 50th anniversary of the graduation of the first Root-Tilden class — a wonderful reason for celebration. Through the Root-Tilden-Kern program and our other public interest initiatives, we further our goal of becoming not only the leading law school, but also the law school that leads in public service by providing the education, scholarship, and vision needed to improve our nation and the world. Richard Revesz Table of Contents 24 Training Environmental and Land Use Lawyers for the New Millennium NYU School of Law offers a broad, unparalleled program in environmental and land use law. The program boasts a world-class faculty, a rich curriculum, path-breaking research cen- ters and initiatives, and exciting opportunities for students and alumni. This article details the innovative program and the Law School’s com- mitment to training future leaders in this evolving field.

Carl Weisbrod Director Department of City Planning 22 Reade Street, 2nd Floor New York, NY 10007 Dear Director Weisbrod: We write this letter to highlight a number of concerns we have that have been reinforced by Manhattan Community Board 2 and affected constituents on the existing zoning framework created in 1971 in the SoHo and NoHo neighborhoods. A continuing flood of special permits and variances being processed by the Department of City Planning (DCP) and the Board of Standards and Appeals (BSA), respectively, have raised serious questions about our planning strategy for this neighborhood. These actions add-up to a de facto rezoning but with little planning coherence and limited public benefit. We believe it is time to revisit the zoning to create a framework which works for the present and looks forward. This framework, among other goals, should strengthen the varied, small-scale retail character, promote a diversity of uses and a diverse employment base, and encourage the development and preservation of affordable housing. As you know, the current M1-5A/M1-5B framework embodied in the New York City Zoning Resolution Section 42-14, inclusive, was created in 1971 in order to protect the manufacturing and industrial sector. In 1982, the New York City Loft Board was established to provide a legal framework for artists to legally reside in these buildings as live-work spaces.

No. TR-1269; 394-400 South 2nd Street, Brooklyn, N.Y.] Loft tenants sought coverage and protected occupancy of Brooklyn building. Testimony and documentation established residential occupancy and coverage of eight of ten units and protected occupancy for the current occupants of the covered units. The evidence did not support a finding that the remaining two units are entitled to coverage or the current occupants entitled to protected occupancy. Loft Board adopts all of ALJ’s findings except it disagrees that when assessing primary residency, one should look to the applicant’s status at the time the application was filed. Instead, the Board ruled that the entire administrative record must be considered when assessing primary residency. ______________________________________________________ NEW YORK CITY OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATIVE TRIALS AND HEARINGS In the Matter of 400 SOUTH 2ND STREET TENANTS, Petitioners ______________________________________________________ REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION SUSAN J.

    Joseph Pell Lombardi, Architect LOFTS Pioneering in the Urban Wilderness -- Title of a 1977 book by James Stratton INTRODUCTION “He adored New York City. He idolized it all out of proportion. Uh, no, make it he, he, romanticized it all out of proportion”. --The movie Manhattan by Woody Allen I have always sought out the older, forsaken buildings of New York City. In the 1940s and 1950s, as a child, I observed the then deteriorating residential areas of Harlem. In the 1960s, as a young architect, preservationist and investor, I became immersed in restoring multi-tenant rooming houses back to one family townhouses in the Upper West Side and the Kips Bay/Murray Hill areas of Manhattan. At the beginning of the 1970s, as I began to discover the fading magnifi cent commercial buildings of lower Manhattan, my focus shifted to converting warehouse and commercial buildings to residential use. At that time, lower Manhattan had hundreds of spectacular buildings which were physically and economically distressed. Like the townhouses of the 1960s, exploring lower Manhattan was the discovery of treasures; behind the beautiful, but dusty and poorly maintained, facades of lower Manhattan were magnifi cent lobbies, high ceilinged spaces with large windows, top fl oors with multiple skylights and, often, fully detailed interiors -- it was a preservation architect’s dream. At fi rst there was little competition in the residential conversion fi eld from other architects because it was an off -beat specialty consisting less of conventional architecture and more about preservation, retrofi tting, zoning obstacles and building code issues. It was also a waiting opportunity.

    TENANTS’ RIGHTS GUIDE Office of the New York State Attorney General A Note from the Office of the New York State Attorney General The contract between a tenant and landlord, whether it is based on a written lease or a handshake, is one of the most common and important deals that are made across our state. It defines how renters will enjoy their homes, how owners will maintain their property, it can affect a neighborhood’s stability. That’s why it’s important that everyone understands their rights and responsibilities under the law. In New York State, there are several different laws governing this relationship, and they can be different depending upon the county or town you live in. This booklet explains many of the laws tenants need to know and provides resources for where you can find more information about landlord and tenant issues. The Office of the New York State Attorney General protects the rights of all New Yorkers. Whether the issue involves civil rights or consumer affairs, healthcare or investment fraud — we may be able to help.

INTRODUCTION: Chairperson Hylton welcomed those present to the September 5, 2019, public meeting of the New York City Loft Board. He then briefly summarized Section 282 of the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law, which establishes the New York City Loft Board; and described the general operation of the Board as consistent with Article 7-C of the New York State Multiple Dwelling Law. __________________________________________________________________________________________ Mr. Hylton: Last month, we had agreed to devote a fifteen-minute period at this meeting to discuss the new Loft Board forms. So I’d like to open the floor up to the Board members for that maximum amount of time to offer any comments or feedback they might have. Mr. DeLaney: Mr. Chairman, before we do that, I’d like to ask a couple of questions, if I might, on general topics. First and foremost, over the past couple of months, I’ve learned of several buildings where gas service has been interrupted. I believe a number of them have been referred to the Loft Board. This seems to be a function, in some cases, of service being interrupted due to some concern, real or imagined. In other instances, it seems there are owners who are interested in converting from electric to gas.

Mosley, Director of the Federal Register. John W. Carlin, Archivist of the United States. On the cover: The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) is proud to acknowledge its role in the Presidential election process. NARA’s Office of the Federal Register (OFR) acts as the administrator of the Electoral College on behalf of the States, the Congress, and the American people. In this role, the OFR is charged with helping the States carry out their election responsibilities, ensuring the completeness and integrity of the Electoral College documents submitted to Congress, and informing the public about the Presidential election process. The Electoral College system was established under Article II (section 1) and Amendment 12 of the U.S. Constitution. In each State, the voters choose electors to select the President and Vice President of the United States, based on the results of the November general election. Prior to the general election, the OFR sends an informational package to each State’s Governor to officially notify them of their electoral responsibilities. As the results of the popular vote are finalized in each State, election officials send to the OFR Certificates of Ascertainment, which establish the credentials of their electors. In December, the electors hold meetings in each State to cast their votes for President and Vice President.
