At Albany Law School, you will gain the intellectual foundation and the practical experience you need for career success as a practicing attorney, or for any range of careers that can be strengthened by quality education in law.
Professor Raymond Brescia authored the piece "Crash Test Ratings for Banks: Move Your Money Somewhere Safe" for The Huffington Post 2/1/10.
A provision to require trial-level review could
be part of new legislation being drafted by Mr. Perkins, said Amy Lavine, a staff attorney with Albany Law
School's Government Law Center, who is advising the state
senator. At the top of her list is substituting a specific definition of
blight for the current standard of "substandard and
insanitary."
One model might be Pennsylvania's law
from 2006, which permits a blight finding only when a substantial number
of properties meet certain conditions like being "unfit for public
habitation" or having been tax delinquent for two years.
"It's about making sure there are objective standards relating to
public health and safety," Ms. Lavine said.
Ms. Lavine said
she also supported lengthening the 30-day time limit for mounting a
condemnation challenge.

Laurie Shanks, a clinical professor at Albany Law School, said she expects them to start showing up in smaller airports such as Albany "because it's a big money-maker. There are people who are going to make millions of dollars off these machines."
She noted that former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff has been giving interviews saying that the federal government needs to purchase more scanners, even though his security consulting company includes a client that manufactures the machines.
Shanks said expanding the use of scanners would unnecessarily erode privacy.
