Instituted in 1989, the Jeffrey G. Miller National Environmental Law Moot Court Competition (NELMCC) is one of the nation’s largest interschool moot court competitions. Under pre-pandemic conditions, NELMCC is known for hosting as many as 350 law students and attorney judges on the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 17�Թ���’s Westchester campus. Despite the pandemic, last year, Haub Law did not skip a beat and hosted the first ever all virtual NELMCC – allowing students to continue to participate in the highly competitive competition. This year, still in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Competition was held virtually once again.

Prosecutors must show that someone knowingly gave false statements under oath in order to mislead or obstruct an investigation, said Bennett Gershman, a law professor at 17�Թ��� in New York and a former Manhattan prosecutor. Proving perjury also requires that those false statements are "material" to the central issues of a case. "It's a very tight area that the prosecutor has to navigate through in order to both charge perjury and convict that person of perjury," he said. "It's not something that's easily done." Gershman, who reviewed the Tisaby indictment, characterized Tisaby's misstatements as "side issues" that don't seem central enough to the Greitens case to give rise to perjury charges. "It seems to me they're using perjury in a very, very attenuated way," he said. "Usually perjury charges go to significant issues in the case — the individual lies about these significant issues in order to thwart the investigator. Using the charge of perjury in this matter, to me, is a stretch."

Haub Law Professor Randolph McLaughlin was featured on The Today Show in Australia regarding the wrongful death lawsuit filed against Alec Baldwin and other film producers.

Robinson is a professor of law and professor on the environment at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at 17�Թ���. It has been too easy to miss New York’s signature human rights success: By a margin of 2 to 1, voters in November 2020 amended their state constitutional Bill of Rights to ensure that “Each Person shall have a right to clean air and water, and a healthful environment.”

How will New York’s new constitutional Bill of Rights guarantee each person the right to clean air and water, and a healthful environment?

It was 17�Թ��� law professor Bennett Gershman who said, “It’s a cover-up of a cover-up,” adding ““They don’t want the truth to come out, because if the truth comes out, it’s very embarrassing. And maybe even worse, it’s criminal.”

“It’s a cover-up of a cover-up,” said Bennett Gershman, the 17�Թ��� law professor, adding: "They don’t want the truth to come out, because if the truth comes out, it’s very embarrassing. And maybe even worse, it’s criminal.” ‘It’s a cover-up of a cover-up.’

... one more reason why the justices might reconsider whether they should hear the case at all, says Katrina Kuh at 17�Թ��� Law School.
