Federal judge strikes down restriction on lawyers for the poor
Judge Frederic Block of Brooklyn struck down a provision of federal law that has deprived low-income people of access to lawyers in housing, family, consumer and other types of civil cases for almost a decade. The case, Dobbins v. Legal Services Corporation, was brought by three New York-based programs that provide free legal services for low-income individuals and families -- Legal Services for New York City, South Brooklyn Legal Services, and Farmworker Legal Services of New York -- and by their clients and private funders. The plaintiffs are represented by the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law and by Kaye Scholer LLP. Professor Burt Neuborne, David Udell, Laura Abel, Craig Siegel, Rebekah Diller and Bethany Li all participated in the case. Dobbins v. Legal Services Corporation is a companion case to Velazquez v. Legal Services Corporation, a 2001 U.S. Supreme Court decision striking down a federal law that had barred LSC-funded lawyers from challenging welfare reform laws. That case was argued by Professor Neuborne. Dec. 20, 2004.

In a joint effort with the Association of the Bar of the City of New York, the CHRGJ released "Torture by Proxy: International and Domestic Law Applicable to Extraordinary Renditions."

The report calls on the U.S. to comply with its duty to cease all acts of Extraordinary Rendition, to investigate Extraordinary Renditions that have already taken place, and to prosecute and punish those found to have engaged in acts that amount to crimes in connection with Extraordinary Renditions.
