Full Faith And Credit: Interstate Enforcement Of Protection Orders Under The Violence Against Women Act Of 1994, Catherine F. Klein
Full Faith And Credit: Interstate Enforcement Of Protection Orders Under The Violence Against Women Act Of 1994, Catherine F. Klein
Scholarly Articles
This article focuses on Title II, Safe Homes for Women, specifically, interstate enforcement of protection orders. Prior to the enactment of VAWA, the majority of states did not afford full faith and credit to protection orders issued in sister states! This was a serious breach in the protection afforded victims of domestic violence. Without full faith and credit statutes, a state only has the power to protect victims of domestic violence within its boundaries, limiting the protection afforded to victims if they are forced to move or flee to another state.
Prior to the VAWA, in order to receive protection …

The Department Of Labor’S Glass Ceiling Initiative: A New Approach To An Old Problem, Marshall J. Breger
The Department Of Labor’S Glass Ceiling Initiative: A New Approach To An Old Problem, Marshall J. Breger
Scholarly Articles
The concept of a "glass ceiling" is not a new one. At the turn of the century, Marie Curie almost singlehandedly created the field of nuclear chemistry and forever changed the course of science and society. But even the ultimate scientific creativity award did not help her to crack the barrier of the science establishment. She received the Nobel Prize but was denied membership in the French Academie des Sciences because of her gender. It was only after her second Nobel Prize that the ali male Academie reluctantly admitted her to the club. The problem that I have with this …

The New Reproductive Technologies And The Law: A Roman Catholic Perspective, William J. Wagner
The New Reproductive Technologies And The Law: A Roman Catholic Perspective, William J. Wagner
Scholarly Articles
In the next several years, the new reproductive technologies will, for better or worse, affect the civil law governing society's most basic relationships and the rights and duties that accompany them. As lawmakers deliberate over the social choices required by technological developments in human reproduction, the soundness of their decisions will depend on their understanding of the good that is at risk, and on their commitment to the law's role in defending it. In view of the fundamental nature of the societal relationships implicated, who will deny that much currently depends on the quality of lawmakers' decisions?

Fetal Abuse: Culpable Behavior By Pregnant Women Or Parental Immunity?, George P. Smith Ii
Scholarly Articles
The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate the pressing need of the law to take decisive action in imposing tort liability for willful and malicious conduct by drug addicted women during their pregnancy. Liability should be imposed notwithstanding the warnings from civil libertarians that the enforcement of such a policy would most assuredly give rise to "prenatal police patrols.'

Mediation Of Wife Abuse Cases: The Adverse Impact Of Informal Dispute Resolution On Women, Lisa G. Lerman
Mediation Of Wife Abuse Cases: The Adverse Impact Of Informal Dispute Resolution On Women, Lisa G. Lerman
Scholarly Articles
This Article articulates a law enforcement critique of domestic violence mediation. It will explain the feminist view that mediation in abuse cases is based on misconceptions about the nature of wife abuse, and that mediation not only fails to protect women from subsequent violence, but also perpetuates their continued victimization.
The Article will recommend that other remedies be preferred over mediation. Recognizing that many programs will persist in mediation of wife abuse cases, however, the Article recommends that those programs should adopt procedures which will offer protection to victims of abuse, will make clear to the abuser that stopping the …
