Dyson Professor Jared Manasek and several NY education experts provide historical insights and context to LoHud/Gannett for a story about viewing the Israel-Hamas conflict through a historical and education lens.

Such arguments are “nonsensical,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at �鶹ֱ��, told Salon. “Every person, including Trump, has the right to engage in ‘forceful political advocacy,’” he said. “But Trump and his co-conspirators went far beyond advocacy. Trump and his cohorts engaged in a criminal conspiracy to subvert the results of a lawful election by illegal means. To endorse this argument would be to sanction any action taken under the guise of political advocacy, including violence and even political assassination.”

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Professor Bennett Gershman speaks with Salon about how former Trump lawyers could face “disbarment” and “possibly be jailed” over court stunts.

“Trump’s lawyers are perilously close to being sanctioned once again and more heavily by Judge Engoron for their misconduct,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at �鶹ֱ��, told Salon. “They are behaving in manifest bad faith by intentionally delaying and obstructing the proceedings and deliberately creating a spectacle to promote Trump's fundraising. Lawyers in any legal proceeding foresee an appeal if they lose and try to make a complete and proper record for appellate review.”

In a geometric sense, plating in odd numbers creates a line that the eye feels drawn to follow. One study by Terence Hines of �鶹ֱ�� found that odd numbers are literally more thought-provoking than even numbers. Hines displayed two numbers on a screen and asked participants to press a button only when the numbers were either both even, or both odd. On average, it took participants 20% longer to press the button when both numbers were odd, as it took the brain longer to process them.

Municipalities use local-level land use law for a variety of purposes. The Land Use Law Center at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at �鶹ֱ�� (the Center), in 2022, engaged in a project to analyze how municipalities are using their land use powers to advance the various goals of climate resilient development (CRD). The Center produced a set of by answering the following questions: 1. What CRD objectives does this strategy achieve, 2. What methods are there to ensure resilience, 3. What methods are there to avoid maladaptation, and 4. What is the feasibility of this strategy? These focus areas are borrowed from the Summary for Policymakers in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) Working Group II Sixth Assessment Report, , which featured CRD as one of the proposed solutions.

Darrin Porcher, a criminal justice professor at �鶹ֱ�� and former NYPD sergeant, said the city needs to do more to crack down on the increasingly lawless domain of scooters and mopeds, many of which don't even have license plates. "I believe the NYPD now has to construct an enforcement unit that specifically targets mopeds, scooters," Porcher said. "We have people that ride scooters and mopes that act with impunity as they drive through our streets. They commit crimes and nothing is being done about it."
