The 1986 And 1987 Affirmative Action Cases: It's All Over But The Shouting, Herman Schwartz
The 1986 And 1987 Affirmative Action Cases: It's All Over But The Shouting, Herman Schwartz
Michigan Law Review
For the moment, the affirmative action wars are over. In a ten-year set of decisions, culminating in five during the last two terms, the Court has now legitimated almost all types of race and gender preferences, even if they benefit nonvictims, including voluntarily adopted preferences in hiring, promotion, university admissions, and government contracting; hiring and promotion preferences in consent decrees; and court-ordered hiring and promotions. It has approved preferences by both public and private bodies, and for both racial-ethnic minorities and women. It has barred only layoffs of white (and presumably male) employees who have more seniority than employees hired …

Women's Banks And Women's Access To Credit: Competition Between Marketplace And Regulatory Solutions To Gender Discrimination, Kenneth Anderson
Women's Banks And Women's Access To Credit: Competition Between Marketplace And Regulatory Solutions To Gender Discrimination, Kenneth Anderson
Articles in Law Reviews & Other Academic Journals
During the 1970's, as more women entered the work force as managers, laborers and entrepreneurs, women's credit and financing needs intensified. Yet banks and other financial institutions persisted in discriminating against women in extending credit. This discrimination reflected a view that women were bad credit risks because they generallyhad no independent source or control of income. Without access to credit, women could not develop independent sources of income, build an asset base or develop their own credit histories. This in turn precluded future extensions of credit to women. Denial of access to credit for women was a cause as well …

The Impact Of Medical Technology On The Pregnant Woman's Right To Privacy, George J. Annas
Faculty Scholarship
In the context of the bicentennial of the Constitution and science's relationship to society, it has been argued that "the advance of science and technology in the West has changed not only the relation of man to nature but of man to man."' This seemingly immodest statement may soon prove an understatement. In the arena of human reproduction, the marriage of science and technology in medicine may change not only the relationship of man to nature and man to man, but more significantly, the very concept of what it means to be human. This, in turn, will directly affect how …

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulation Of Radiation Hazards In The Workplace: Present Problems And New Approaches To Reproductive Health, Michael S. Baram, Neal Smith
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Regulation Of Radiation Hazards In The Workplace: Present Problems And New Approaches To Reproductive Health, Michael S. Baram, Neal Smith
Faculty Scholarship
On December 20, 1985, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) proposed revisions to its Standards for Protection Against Radiation [hereinafter Standards].1 If adopted, the new Standards will provide additional protection for millions of workers and their unborn children. The effects of the Standards will extend, however, far beyond the health of those exposed to radiation. Specifically, the NRC's proposal may provide a new paradigm for regulating health hazards that have no safe threshold level of exposure. It will also focus debate on whether or not women should be precluded from working in fetotoxic environments
Prenatal Caretaking: Limits Of State Intervention With And Without Roe, Sharon E. Rush
Prenatal Caretaking: Limits Of State Intervention With And Without Roe, Sharon E. Rush
UF Law Faculty Publications
With or without Roe, difficult questions regarding the state's role in prenatal caretaking remain. Unless the Supreme Court addresses the assumptions underlying the abortion controversy, overruling Roe would not resolve the problem of allocating decisionmaking responsibility between the woman and the state during the woman's pregnancy. Fundamental constitutional questions about life and death, parental authority over the fetus, and the scope of the woman's right of privacy outside of abortion have not been answered by the Supreme Court.

Report Of The New York Task Force On Women In The Courts
Report Of The New York Task Force On Women In The Courts
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Charged by the New York State Unified Court System with the responsibilities of reviewing and reporting on gender biases existing throughout the New York legal industry, the New York Task Force on Women, comprised of judges, leading practitioners, and academic scholars, set forth a plethora of evidence revealing the depth of gender biases in the New York legal industry. Concluding that gender bias is rampant and pervasive both in the court system and in the private legal industry, the Report reasons that the quickest and most effective way by which reform can be achieved is through the enlistment of the …
