A Return To Eyes On The Prize: Litigating Under The Restored New York City Human Rights Law, Craig Gurian Jan 2006

A Return To Eyes On The Prize: Litigating Under The Restored New York City Human Rights Law, Craig Gurian

Fordham Urban Law Journal

The recent enactment of the Local Civil Rights Restoration Act ("Restoration Act") reflects the New York City Council's concern that the City Human Rights Law "has been construed too narrowly." The law explicitly rejects the "carbon copy" theory and seeks an independent construction from similar or identical provisions of New York state or federal statutes. The Restoration Act proceeds along two basic tracks. One track consists of a series of amendments to particular sections of the law. These amendments expand retaliation protection, raise the maximum civil penalties that can be awarded in proceeding brought administratively, protect domestic partners against all …

Human Rights And Transnational Culture: Regulating Gender Violence Through Global Law, Sally Engle Merry Jan 2006

Human Rights And Transnational Culture: Regulating Gender Violence Through Global Law, Sally Engle Merry

Osgoode Hall Law Journal
