Welcome to another edition of "The Letter of the Law," a periodic newsletter for friends and clients of Bruce Feffer, Attorney At Law . Since the last issue of this newsletter, I have been quite busy speaking to various groups regarding our legal system and the law. I have appeared before a class at PS183 in Manhattan, employees of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, and adult students at the Employment Training Center of the Chinese-American Planning Council. On June 15, 2000 I will be a panelist at a program entitled "Everything You Need to Know About Choosing An International Lawyer," sponsored by the Global Business Association. I will be addressing general issues relating to the attorney-client relationship. Call 212- 702-9590 for more details. I hope to see you there! The opportunity to help educate people of all ages and backgrounds about our legal system is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.

Co-op Law - New York State's highest court recently ruled that a co-op corporation may not indemnify one of its directors for certain misconduct or acts of "bad faith." The ruling came in a case involving a director who had denied a sublease application on the basis of race. Co-op boards in New York should become familiar with the decision in Biondi v.
