Cooperatives and Condominiums

Richard Siegler, a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan and an adjunct professor at New York Law School, and Eva Talel, also a partner at Stroock, write that increasingly, condominiums are acting like co-ops in order to obtain greater control over apartment transfers. However, without a court ruling on the lawfulness of these provisions, it is uncertain whether condominiums have crossed the line and enacted provisions which constitute unreasonable restraints on alienation.

Ethics and Criminal Practice

Joel Cohen, a partner at Stroock & Stroock & Lavan and adjunct professor of law at Fordham Law School, and Danielle Alfonzo Walsman, an associate at Stroock, write that although Judiciary Law §487 was dusted off in People v. Bergrin, it is hardly likely that every prosecutor across the region will open a "Major Lies Bureau" and prosecute each lawyer who appears to make false representations to a judge or party. Nor are judges likely to install polygraph sensors at each podium and counsel's table any time soon. However, the Bergrin case should underscore for every lawyer the seriousness of the issue and that there, in fact, exists no wiggle room on the matter.

Pro Bono at the Crossroads

Kevin J. Curnin, a partner and the director of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan's Public Service Project, writes: Today, the law's impact on how we live and die is omnipresent. Health care reform, climate control accords and market regulation are the dominant examples, but there are others, less dramatic but no less deeply impactful: housing, bankruptcy, benefits, immigration, disability. The imbalance between "the haves and the have-nots" is with us now more than ever. Pro bono lawyers, at least part of the time, align with the "have-nots," the uneducated, the marginalized, the unprotected.
