The N.Y.U. Law Review is proud to welcome its newest members from the NYU Law Class of 2014, the Staff Editors of Volumes 87-88. For a full list of Staff Editors, see the current masthead.

We are proud to recognize N.Y.U. Law Review members Anthony Enriquez, Mae Nguyen, Natasha Rivera-Silber, and Kevin Terry for their work with the Immigrant Rights Clinic, which was recently featured in this New York Law Journal article. In the words of a judge who was quoted for the article: “What this clinic is trying to do is ensure that this generation of immigrants has the opportunity to thrive in this country and make this country even greater.”

Nikki Reisch (Articles Editor ‘12) was lauded for her “exceptional oral advocacy” by Chief Judge McKee of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit at FN 29 in Oliva-Ramos v. Att’y Gen., 2012 WL 4017478 (3d Cir. Sept. 13, 2012). Ms. Reisch and Stephen Kang (Notes Editor ’11) represented the petitioner pro bono as part of the Immigrant Rights Clinic, seeking to have his removal order vacated and the case remanded. The court granted the petition, vacated the removal order, and held that the exclusionary rule may apply in removal proceedings where an alien shows egregious violations of the Fourth Amendment that might transgress notions of fundamental fairness and undermine the probative value of the evidence obtained. We congratulate them on their victory.

N.Y.U. Law Review alumni have been selected to clerk for the Supreme Court during the 2012-2013 term. Brian Burgess (Senior Articles Editor ’09) will be clerking for Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Ian Samuel (Articles Editor ’08) will be clerking for Justice Antonin Scalia.
