Bilingualism And Equality: Title Vii Claims For Language Discrimination In The Workplace, James Leonard
Bilingualism And Equality: Title Vii Claims For Language Discrimination In The Workplace, James Leonard
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
Linguistic diversity is a fact of contemporary American life. Nearly one in five Americans speak a language other than English in the home, and influxes of immigrants have been a constant feature of American history. The multiplicity of languages in American society has touched nearly all aspects of American culture, and specifically has added new and important challenges to the American workplace. Chief among these new concerns are the growing number of legal claims centered around language discrimination in the workplace. The common vehicle for these claims has been Title VII, and there is considerable support in the academic literature …
A Whole New Game: Recognizing The Changing Complexion Of Indian Gaming By Removing The "Governor's Veto" For Gaming On "After-Acquired Lands", Brian P. Mcclatchey
A Whole New Game: Recognizing The Changing Complexion Of Indian Gaming By Removing The "Governor's Veto" For Gaming On "After-Acquired Lands", Brian P. Mcclatchey
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
The recent explosive growth of the Indian gaming industry and judicial decisions analyzing a portion of the governing statute point to an inherent flaw in the mechanism provided by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (IGRA) for the establishment of off-reservation gaming enterprises. This Note argues for a reform of the so-called "after-acquired lands" provision of IGRA, which would remove the governor's concurrence requirement and place the decision to allow Indian gaming off-reservation into the negotiating process between states and tribes, as another term to be negotiated between sovereigns. Such a reform would allow states and tribes alike to extract their …

Balancing The Demands Of The Workplace With The Needs Of The Modern Family: Expanding Family And Medical Leave To Protect Domestic Partners, Kimberly Menashe Glassman
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Note addresses the importance of expanding the federal Family and Medical Leave Act and state family and medical leave laws to protect domestic partners. Congress passed the Family and Medical Leave Act to allow workers to balance their work lives and family lives by granting workers the right to take leave time to care for an immediate family member in times of medical necessity. The term 'family member," however, is generally limited to relation y blood, adoption, or marriage, and does not include an individual's domestic partner. The concept of family has evolved in our legal system and is …
Hearing The Danger Of An Armed Felon- Allowing For A Detention Hearing Under The Bail Reform Act For Those Who Unlawfully Possess Firearms, Matthew S. Miner
Hearing The Danger Of An Armed Felon- Allowing For A Detention Hearing Under The Bail Reform Act For Those Who Unlawfully Possess Firearms, Matthew S. Miner
University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform
This Article advocates an interpretation of the Bail Reform Act that affords courts the ability to hold detention hearings in gun crime cases to evaluate defendants' potential danger to the community. According to an interpretation advanced by some courts, gun possession offenses do not constitute "crimes of violence" within the meaning of the Act and therefore those charged with such crimes, even ifth ey have a prior felony conviction, are not subject to pre-trial detention. Arguing against this approach, the Article looks to the Bail Reform Act, the relevant federal case law, and the alarming statistics concerning the growing use …
