The Protection Of Women And Children In Islamic Law And International Humanitarian Law: A Critique Of John Kelsay”, Hamdard Islamicus, Xxv (3) (July-September 2002), Pp. 69-82, Muhammad Munir Dr. Jul 2002

The Protection Of Women And Children In Islamic Law And International Humanitarian Law: A Critique Of John Kelsay”, Hamdard Islamicus, Xxv (3) (July-September 2002), Pp. 69-82, Muhammad Munir Dr.

Dr. Muhammad Munir

Islam introduced the most humane rules in warfare before other religions or faiths could do it. Most authors acknowledge this fact, however, John Kelsay, Fredrick Donner, and few others doubt Islam's enormous contribution to bring in humanity in warfare. These authors assume that Islam has learned humanitarian principles, such as the principle of distinction, from the pre-Islamic practices; that Imam Al-Shafi'i allowed the killing of all women whether combatant or non-combatant; that even the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) allowed the killing of women and children; and that women and children can be enslaved. This work completely rebuts all …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Screening For Domestic Violence: Meeting The Challenge Of Identifying Domestic Relations Cases Involving Domestic Violence And Developing Strategies For Those Cases, Julie Kunce Field Jul 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Screening For Domestic Violence: Meeting The Challenge Of Identifying Domestic Relations Cases Involving Domestic Violence And Developing Strategies For Those Cases, Julie Kunce Field

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Domestic abuse is common. It includes emotional and psychological abuse as well as physical assaults. Children are harmed by it, even if they are not the direct victims of the physical violence.
Because domestic abuse is so prevalent and its effects are so far-reaching, court personnel must educate themselves to understand domestic violence and determine strategies for handling cases where it is present. Even if domestic violence is present but does not seem to have a direct impact on the case at hand, one should be aware of the power and control dynamics of domestic abuse to provide effective intervention …


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Making A Difference: Tools To Help Judges Support The Healing Of Children Exposed To Domestic Violence, Lavita Nadkarni, Barbara Zeek Shaw Jul 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Making A Difference: Tools To Help Judges Support The Healing Of Children Exposed To Domestic Violence, Lavita Nadkarni, Barbara Zeek Shaw

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Domestic violence has emerged from the privacy of one’s own home, where only the victims were aware of the abuse, to more public domains, where one can witness the impact of such abuse on society through our court system. Judges, in both the civil and criminal arenas, exercise considerable power in instituting a wide range of possible dispositions in cases involving domestic violence. The Family Violence Prevention Fund’s National Judicial Education Advisory Committee concluded that judges made the most significant decisions affecting the lives of victims, abusers, and their children. Judges can also play a significant role in shaping society’s …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Dealing With Complex Evidence Of Domestic Violence: A Primer For The Civil Bench, Jane H. Aiken, Jane C. Murphy

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

New laws and policies aimed at protecting victims of domestic violence have been adopted across the country throughout the last twenty years. The legal approaches taken to protect battered women and control family violence have brought about significant changes in family law. New laws include statutes permitting civil protection or restraining orders, and laws requiring that domestic violence be considered in custody and visitation decisions. Both of these types of statutory reforms can provide protection to adult victims of domestic violence and their children. Evaluating a parent’s fitness by considering past acts of violence to other family members results in …


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Firearms And Domestic Violence: A Primer For Judges, Darren Mitchell, Susan B. Carbon Jul 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Firearms And Domestic Violence: A Primer For Judges, Darren Mitchell, Susan B. Carbon

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Firearms and domestic violence are a deadly combination. As the examples on the following page show, abusers who gain access to firearms pose a lethal threat both to those they have abused and to the wider community. Even where laws exist to disarm abusers and prevent them from purchasing new firearms, absent effective implementation of the laws—by judges, as well as by others in the civil and criminal justice system— survivors of domestic violence and the broader community continue to remain at risk of death or serious injury.


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - President's Column, Francis X. Halligan Jr. Jul 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - President's Column, Francis X. Halligan Jr.

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

I have chosen for my initial column a topic that is of importance to all judges, regardless of jurisdiction or locality, yet is often ignored—courtroom and personal security. Given the domestic violence theme of this issue and the special security concerns involving courtrooms that conduct hearings involving domestic violence and family matters, I thought that this subject matter was most appropriate. I have been interested in courtroom security for many years, due to my law enforcement background, having served as a police officer in Washington, D.C., and in New Jersey. Given the limited space I have for this column, I …


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - The Parenting Of Men Who Batter, Lundy Bancroft Jul 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - The Parenting Of Men Who Batter, Lundy Bancroft

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

The published research on children’s exposure to domestic violence focuses largely on two aspects of their experience: the trauma of witnessing physical assaults against their mother, and the tension produced by living with a high level of conflict between their parents. As important as these factors are, they reflect only one aspect of many complex problems that typically pervade the children’s daily lives. The bulk of these difficulties have their roots in the fact that the children are living with a batterer present in their home. The parenting characteristics commonly observed in batterers have implications for the children’s emotional and …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Editor's Note

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Domestic violence is a subject about which judges need good initial education and continuing refresher courses. Quite simply, there is much about it that is counterintuitive. Why does a woman who is physically and mentally abused day after day, week after week, stay with the abuser? For most of us, the answer is neither self-evident nor a part of our personal life experience. Yet there is a large—and growing—body of good research in the area.

After Ellerth: The Tangible Employment Action In Sexual Harassment Analysis, Susan Grover Jun 2002

After Ellerth: The Tangible Employment Action In Sexual Harassment Analysis, Susan Grover

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

In this Article, Professor Grover argues that courts too readily allow employers to avoid vicarious liability for supervisors' unlawful sexual harassment of subordinates. The Article explores the breadth of the affirmative defense first introduced in the Supreme Court's 1998 cases of Faragher v. Boca Raton and Burlington Indus., Inc. v. Ellerth. That defense clears an employer of liability for a supervisor's unlawful sexual harassment if (a) the employer exercised reasonable care to prevent and correct promptly any sexually harassing behavior, and (b) the plaintiff employee unreasonably failed to take advantage of any preventive or corrective opportunities provided by the …

Festo: A Case Contravening The Convergence Of Doctrine Of Equivalents Jurisprudence In Germany, The United Kingdom, And The United States, Katherine E. White Jun 2002

Festo: A Case Contravening The Convergence Of Doctrine Of Equivalents Jurisprudence In Germany, The United Kingdom, And The United States, Katherine E. White

Michigan Telecommunications & Technology Law Review

Despite differences in patent law jurisprudence in Germany, the United Kingdom and the United States, the fundamental principles underlying each system serve the same basic purpose: to encourage technological innovation and dissemination of knowledge. In granting exclusive patent rights, it is important that the scope of patent protection not be so broad as to remove existing knowledge from the public domain. The scope of protection should strike a balance between granting adequate patent rights while preserving the public's ownership in the public domain or the prior art. To encourage innovation patentees must attain significant exclusive rights, while potential infringers receive …

Euclid Lives: The Survival Of Progressive Jurisprudence, Charles M. Haara, Michael Allan Wolf Jun 2002

Euclid Lives: The Survival Of Progressive Jurisprudence, Charles M. Haara, Michael Allan Wolf

UF Law Faculty Publications

The Supreme Court's expanded use of regulatory takings is making a highly controversial and confusing concept more difficult to apply and defend. The Court and commentators are invited to explore a different approach-- Progressive jurisprudence, as represented by the Court's enduring opinion in Village of Euclid v. Ambler Realty Co . This Commentary examines the reinvigoration of the Takings Clause and, in historical and ideological terms, discusses the Progressiveness of Euclid and of the regulatory scheme the Euclid Court approved. Professors Haar and Wolf identify and explore five inquiries concerning the character of regulations affecting the use, ownership, and value …

How Is Constitutional Law Made?, Tracey E. George, Robert J. Pushaw Jr. May 2002

How Is Constitutional Law Made?, Tracey E. George, Robert J. Pushaw Jr.

Michigan Law Review

Bismarck famously remarked: "Laws are like sausages. It's better not to see them being made." This witticism applies with peculiar force to constitutional law. Judges and commentators examine the sausage (the Supreme Court's doctrine), but ignore the messy details of its production. Maxwell Stearns has demonstrated, with brilliant originality, that the Court fashions constitutional law through process-based rules of decision such as outcome voting, stare decisis, and justiciability. Employing "social choice" economic theory, Professor Stearns argues that the Court, like all multimember decisionmaking bodies, strives to formulate rules that promote both rationality and fairness (p. 4). Viewed through the lens …


Taking Behavioralism Too Seriously? The Unwarranted Pessimism Of The New Behavioral Analysis Of Law, Gregory Mitchell Apr 2002

Taking Behavioralism Too Seriously? The Unwarranted Pessimism Of The New Behavioral Analysis Of Law, Gregory Mitchell

William & Mary Law Review

Legal scholars increasingly rely on a behavioral analysis of judgment and decision making to explain legal phenomena and argue for legal reforms. The. main argument of this new behavioral analysis of the law is twofold: (1)All human cognition is beset by systematic flaws in the way that judgments and decisions are made, and theseflaws lead to predictable irrational behaviors and (2) these widespread and systematic nonrational tendencies bring into serious question the assumption of procedural rationality underlying much legal doctrine. This Article examines the psychological research relied on by legal behavioralistst o form this argumenta nd demonstratest hat this research …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - A Crack At Federal Drafting, Joseph Kimble Apr 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - A Crack At Federal Drafting, Joseph Kimble

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

This will not be the first or last article that criticizes the style of drafting in federal statutes. But it will, I believe, be different in at least one respect: it will scrutinize the style in just one small slice of federal drafting in a way that should edify drafters of any legal document. In fact, this inspection should open the eyes of all legal writers—for I’ll identify some of the persistent, inexcusable failings that pervade all legal writing. I did this kind of thing once before in Court Review, using the final orders from the Clinton impeachment trial. If …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 2 - Judicial Candidate Speech After Republican Party Of Minnesota V. White, Jan Witold Baran

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

The people want to elect judges. Notwithstanding a typical Washington lawyer’s view of the judiciary enshrined in Article III of the Constitution, the citizens of 39 states insist that judges should be subject to electoral accountability and not be given lifetime appointments by the government elites. For that reason, 53% of state appellate judges must run in contested elections for an initial term on the bench (out of 1,243 judges). Likewise, 66% of state trial court judges (8,489) must first run in contested elections. Eight-seven percent of all state appellate and trial judges face some type of election for subsequent …

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - Recent Civil Decisions Of The United States Supreme Court: The 2001-2002 Term, Charles H. Whitebread

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

The United States Supreme Court’s 2001-2002 term marked Chief Justice Rehnquist’s 30th anniversary on the bench. Given the continuing prominence of 5-4 splits along typically ideological lines, the chief justice’s leadership is as significant as it ever was. In the context of the Court’s civil decisions, the chief justice’s importance to the conservative bloc was demonstrated in the case immunizing states from privateparty complaints adjudicated by administrative agencies and in the Court’s acceptance of a policy permitting public vouchers to be used for religious school tuition. The Court also confronted significant issues regarding the First Amendment and limitations on protecting …


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - Should Judges Be More Like Politicians?, Roy A. Schotland Apr 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - Should Judges Be More Like Politicians?, Roy A. Schotland

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Judges sometimes are unrealistic. Whatever one’s view of the recent Pledge of Allegiance decision, do you remember Clinton v. Jones, in which eight justices had no doubt that there were no serious risks in allowing Paula Jones’ lawsuit to proceed against a sitting President?
The Supreme Court’s decision about judicial elections shows how unrealistic five justices can be about what happens in election campaigns, and also—ironically—about how much judges differ from legislators and others who run for office. Reality was captured concisely by Robert Hirshon, president of the American Bar Association, who said, “This is a bad decision. It will …


Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - Editor's Note Apr 2002

Court Review: Volume 39, Issue 1 - Editor's Note

Court Review: The Journal of the American Judges Association

Most state court judges in the United States stand for election, whether it be one in which an opposing candidate can run or one in which an appointed judge stands for retention. Accordingly, questions concerning what judicial candidates can say during an election campaign are of great significance. At the end of its past term, the United States Supreme Court issued its first decision regarding the tension between the First Amendment and restrictions that have been placed by states on the speech of judicial candidates.
