California Egg Toss - The High Costs Of Avoiding Unenforceable Surrogacy Contracts, Jennifer Jackson

Jennifer Jackson

In an emotionally charged decision regarding surrogacy contracts, it is important to recognize the ramifications, costs, and policy. There are advantages to both “gestational carrier surrogacy” contracts and “traditional surrogacy” contracts. However, this paper focuses on the differences between these contracts using case law. Specifically, this paper will focus on the implications of California case law regarding surrogacy contracts. Cases such as Johnson v. Calvert and In Re Marriage of Moschetta provide a clear distinction between these contracts. This distinction will show that while gestational carrier surrogacy contracts are more expensive, public policy and court opinions will provide certainty and …

Dirty Harry Meets Dirty Diapers: Masculinities, At-Home Fathers & Making The Law Work For Families, Beth A. Burkstrand-Reid

Beth A. Burkstrand-Reid

Who is the “man”? Implicit in that question is whether the man at issue demonstrates traits traditionally associated with masculinity: traits such as power, rejecting all things associated with being female, aggression, and being the family breadwinner. If a man, then, abandons paid work and stays at home full-time with his children, is he still a “man” as typically defined? The answer to this question bears both on whether families are truly evolving away from the gendered construct that places men as family breadwinners and women as caregivers and whether work-family balance law meets the needs of these—and all—families. This …

When The Need To Know Outweighs Privacy: Granting Access To Child Welfare Records In The 50 States, Courtney Barclay

Courtney Barclay

In 2013, the Kansas City Star, reported that, despite thirteen years of transparency under a records disclosure law, the Missouri Department of Social Services initially declined to requests for information regarding three tragic cases of child abuse in 2012, including one fatality. The state disclosure law permits the director of DSS to release information in these kinds of cases. Yet, the Department refused to release records, citing the need to avoid “hinder[ing] the criminal justice system.” This refusal to provide information seemed contrary to more than a decade of policy since the passage of the Missouri disclosure law in 2000 …
