Sexual Orientation At The Crossroads, Johan D. Van Der Vyver
Sexual Orientation At The Crossroads, Johan D. Van Der Vyver
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
The decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of Bostock v. Clayton County that sexual orientation is included in the concept of “sex” in the non-discrimination provisions of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is historically indefensible. The Civil Rights Act was initiated by President John F. Kennedy to combat racial discrimination in the workplace and the word “sex” was included in the Act by a “claque of Southern Congressmen” as part of a filibuster attempt to prevent its enactment. It was accepted by proponents of the Act on the instructions of President Johnson merely to avoid the …
Gender Confirmation Surgery And The Federal Prison System: Eighth Amendment Framework And Proposed Alternatives, Julie Barnett
Gender Confirmation Surgery And The Federal Prison System: Eighth Amendment Framework And Proposed Alternatives, Julie Barnett
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
As reform for individuals with gender dysphoria has developed, the prison system's accommodation of those individuals' needs has underperformed. There have been a number of cases in the past few years where inmates who are experiencing gender dysphoria have not received adequate care in the form of gender confirmation surgery. Four of the Federal Appellate Circuit Courts have decided that a physician's refusal to provide an inmate with gender confirmation surgery is not a violation of the 8th Amendment. One circuit ruled differently and held that denial of the surgery to an inmate experiencing gender dysphoria does violate the 8th …

Is The Legal Profession Too Independent?, Limor Zer-Gutman, Eli Wald
Is The Legal Profession Too Independent?, Limor Zer-Gutman, Eli Wald
Marquette Law Review
Faced with mounting pressure to permit national law practice and increase
access to legal services for those who cannot afford to pay for them and
critiques about growing inequality and its failure to lead the battles for greater
gender and racial justice, the legal profession’s response has been to resist
reform proposals by invoking its independence. Lawyers and lawyers alone,
asserts the profession, ought to determine the pace and details of nationalizing
law practice, set the conditions under which nonlawyers and artificial
intelligence can offer legal services, and respond to growing inequality among
lawyers and concerns about the role lawyers …

Why Are Seemingly Satisfied Female Lawyers Running For The Exits? Resolving The Paradox Using National Data, Joni Hersch, Erin E. Meyers
Why Are Seemingly Satisfied Female Lawyers Running For The Exits? Resolving The Paradox Using National Data, Joni Hersch, Erin E. Meyers
Marquette Law Review
Despite the fact that women are leaving the practice of law at alarmingly high rates, most previous research finds no evidence of gender differences in job satisfaction among lawyers. This Article uses nationally representative data from the 2015 National Survey of College Graduates to examine gender differences in lawyers’ job satisfaction, and finds that any apparent similarity of job satisfaction between genders likely arises from dissatisfied female JDs sorting out of the legal profession at higher rates than their male counterparts, leaving behind the most satisfied women. This Article also provides a detailed examination of the specific working conditions that …
Questions Of Trust, Betrayal, And Authorial Control In The Avant-Garde: The Case Of Julius Eastman And John Cage, Toni Lester
Questions Of Trust, Betrayal, And Authorial Control In The Avant-Garde: The Case Of Julius Eastman And John Cage, Toni Lester
Marquette Intellectual Property Law Review
This article explores how the idea of trust-based dialogue can give us an alternative understanding about the nature of authorial control and inter-pretation across identity-based differences. Part One will discuss the respective personal stories, philosophies, and competing historical understandings that influenced Cage’s creation of Solo and Eastman’s interpretation thereof. Part Two will offer definitions of trust and communication from the fields of feminist relational psychology, philosophy, and law. Throughout Part Two, I will reflect on the extent to which a trust-based dialogue could have taken place between Cage and Eastman. My general sense is that the answer is “no.” Both …
The Parent Trap: Equality, Sex, And Partnership In The Modern Law Firm, Miranda Mcgowan
The Parent Trap: Equality, Sex, And Partnership In The Modern Law Firm, Miranda Mcgowan
Marquette Law Review
The fight for women’s equality in law has achieved a lot. Women have
made up nearly half of law students and law firm associates for the last two
decades. Despite this progress, the partnership ranks of law firms are
profoundly and intolerably sex segregated and will remain so for the
foreseeable future. Our profession, which has fought for and helped to achieve
legal equality on behalf of so many, is itself dogged by intractable inequality.
A standard set of solutions, which address structural barriers within law firms
and the effects of cognitive biases, have been urged for decades and yet …
Bias In The Boardroom: Implicit Bias In The Selection And Treatment Of Women Directors
Bias In The Boardroom: Implicit Bias In The Selection And Treatment Of Women Directors
Marquette Law Review
In light of the stagnation in growth of women directors on corporate boards, board diversity advocates and corporate leaders should look to the role implicit gender bias plays in the board nomination process and in challenges women directors face while serving on boards. Relevant stakeholders often overlook how implicit bias barriers prevent women from reaching the boardroom and persist as obstacles once women directors have earned their seats on the board. Incorporating social psychological research on implicit bias and recognized strategies to work around bias, such as objective assessments and guidelines, data analytics, and accountability mechanisms, this Article encourages companies …

Man Up Or Go Home: Exploring Perceptions Of Women In Leadership, Abigail Perdue
Man Up Or Go Home: Exploring Perceptions Of Women In Leadership, Abigail Perdue
Marquette Law Review
Throughout history, women in positions of authority have often been perceived as violating well-established gender norms. Perhaps as a result, female leadership has often been viewed as a threat to male power and privilege and thus provoked resistance. Female leaders challenge longstanding sex stereotypes and patriarchal structures, subverting the identities of androcentric institutions and the people who comprise them. In so doing, they redefine notions of what it means to be a leader as well as what it means to be a woman. Cisgender male subordinates in particular may feel that their masculinity is under assault when they are placed …
Comment: Transgender Employment Discrimination Equality In Wisconsin: The Demise Of A Former Lgbtiq+ Rights Trailblazer, Alexandra A. Klimko
Comment: Transgender Employment Discrimination Equality In Wisconsin: The Demise Of A Former Lgbtiq+ Rights Trailblazer, Alexandra A. Klimko
Marquette Benefits and Social Welfare Law Review
Wisconsin, once known as “The Gay Rights State” and a
pioneer of the LGBTIQ+ civil rights movement, has
disappointingly failed to create transgender-inclusive
employment discrimination legislation, much like the majority of
American states. As a result, Wisconsin transgender employees
face shocking workplace discrimination with saddening
repercussions felt by transgender individuals who call Wisconsin
home. This Comment identifies the federal, state, and city
approaches that have extended equal employment
discrimination legal protections to transgender workers in the
United States. Further, this Comment urges the Wisconsin
legislature to incorporate “gender identity or expression” to
Wisconsin’s Fair Employment Act as a non-discrimination
category, …
Not Your Mother's Will: Gender, Language, And Wills, Karen J. Sneddon
Not Your Mother's Will: Gender, Language, And Wills, Karen J. Sneddon
Marquette Law Review
“Boys will be boys, but girls must be young ladies” is an echoing patriarchal refrain from the past. Formal equality has not produced equality in all areas, as demonstrated by the continuing wage gap. Gender bias lingers and can be identified in language. This Article focuses on Wills, one of the oldest forms of legal documents, to explore the intersection of gender and language. With conceptual antecedents in pre-history, written Wills found in Ancient Egyptian tombs embody the core characteristics of modern Wills. The past endows the drafting and implementation of Wills with a wealth of traditions and experiences. The …
