Feminist Legal Theories, Gary S. Lawson
Feminist Legal Theories, Gary S. Lawson
Faculty Scholarship
The issue before this panel is one of identification. What epistemologically justifies attaching to an idea or set of ideas the label "feminist legal theory"? In other words, how can one recognize an example of feminist legal theory if and when one comes across it?
Human Rights Environmentalism: Forging Common Ground, Gabriel Eckstein, Miriam Gitlin
Human Rights Environmentalism: Forging Common Ground, Gabriel Eckstein, Miriam Gitlin
Faculty Scholarship
Since the early 1970s, the international community has widely acknowledged the nexus between human rights and environmental protection. References to this association and even to a human right to some minimal quality of environment, can be found in numerous international instruments. The Stockholm Declaration on the Human Environment, for example, proclaims that human beings have the "fundamental right to freedom, equality and adequate conditions of life, in an environment of a quality that permits a life of dignity and well-being." Similarly, the Additional Protocol to the American Convention on Human Rights states that "everyone shall have the right to live …
The "Straight Mind" In Russ’S The Female Man, Susan Ayres
The "Straight Mind" In Russ’S The Female Man, Susan Ayres
Faculty Scholarship
In The Female Man Russ contrasts our present-day heterosexual society with two revolutionary alternatives: a utopian world of women and a dystopian world of women warring with men. The novel functions as what Monique Wittig calls a "literary war machine" because it tries "to pulverize the old forms and formal conventions." Specifically, Russ critiques the "straight mind"—heterosexual institutions that regulate gender—by showing how two representatives from "our world" respond to those institutions. She also shows two alternative worlds that further undermine, but do not solve, the way heterosexual institutions regulate gender.
In responding to the straight mind and to the …
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Nonprofit Hospital Mergers And Section 7 Of The Clayton Act: Closing An Antitrust Loophole, Laura Stephens
Faculty Scholarship
Nonprofit hospitals developed out of the charitable hospital movement, which began in the mid-nineteenth century.' The early voluntary hospitals depended upon local benefactors for financing.2 Originally conceived as charitable institutions providing long-term care, these hospitals began to change their focus around the turn of the century.3 A changed mission-providing care to all rather than just poor inpatients with chronic problems-required the latest medical technology.4 This in turn demanded increased construction of up-to-date facilities, as well as large operating expenses.
Recent years have seen further pressure on hospital budgets, as the health-care sector of the economy has become …

Its Time For A State Environmental Policy Act, Denise D. Fort
Its Time For A State Environmental Policy Act, Denise D. Fort
Faculty Scholarship
What single law should be the first step in protecting New Mexico's environment from the consequences of our cascading population? My nomination would go to a State Environmental Policy Act, commonly called a "state NEPA." These laws are on one level very simple, requiring only that state governments "stop and think" before taking actions with significant environmental costs. After twenty-five years of experience with the federal National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), however, we know that a law that allows citizens input into governmental action has a profound effect on governmental action.
Shrinking Indian Country: A State Offensive To Divest Tribal Sovereignty, Gloria Valencia-Weber
Shrinking Indian Country: A State Offensive To Divest Tribal Sovereignty, Gloria Valencia-Weber
Faculty Scholarship
In Sac and Fox, the Oklahoma Tax Commission (OTC) argued that the Sac and Fox reservation was disestablished in the 1891 Allotment Agreement, and therefore the tribe was deprived of a cognizable land base on which it could exercise governmental power immune from the reach of the state. Based on this characterization of the land base, the OTC then argued that it could reach into Sac and Fox land and impose income and vehicle taxes. The tribe, of course, rejected any such characterization of its land base and resisted any attempt by the state to interfere with its sovereign control …
The Transformation Of U.S. Banking And Finance: From Regulated Competition To Free Market Receivership, Timothy A. Canova
The Transformation Of U.S. Banking And Finance: From Regulated Competition To Free Market Receivership, Timothy A. Canova
Faculty Scholarship
This article offers a critique of the deregulation of banking and finance that started with the breakdown of the Bretton Woods regime of fixed exchange rates during the Nixon administration, accelerated with interest rate deregulation during the Carter administration, and was deepened during the Reagan administration. Deregulation is seen as a changing of paradigms, from the New Deal regulatory model that limited price competition and channeled credit to socially useful purposes. The monetary and fiscal implications are significant. The regulatory model, particularly in its heyday, served to limit the authority of the Federal Reserve, neutralized monetary policy, and invigorated other …

Domestic Violence And Partner Notification: Implications For Treatment And Counseling Of Women With Hiv, Karen H. Rothenberg, Stephen J. Paskey, Melissa M. Reuland, Sheryl I. Zimmerman, Richard L. North
Faculty Scholarship
Current public health policy encourages partner notification to protect those at risk of HIV infection. Provider experiences with partner notification, domestic violence, and women with HIV compel a reassessment of this strategy. In a survey of 136 health care providers in Baltimore, substantial numbers reported knowledge of their HIV-infected patients’ experiences with domestic violence before and after partner notification. Providers believed that fear of physical abuse, emotional abuse, and abandonment are important reasons why many female patients resist partner notification. Provider opposition to partner notification was strong in cases where female patients faced a risk of domestic violence. The realization …

Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Old Wine In New Bottles: The Constitutional Status Of Unconstitutional Speech, Mark A. Graber
Faculty Scholarship
This Article explores whether contemporary advocates of restrictions on bigoted expression have more in common with contemporary advocates of broad First Amendment rights or with past censors. The critical theorists who would ban some hate speech rely heavily on the equal citizenship principles that radical civil libertarians believe justify almost absolute speech rights. The First Amendment, past and present censors argue, does not fully protect speech inconsistent with what they believe are basic constitutional values. This claim repudiates a basic principle of American constitutionalism, the faith that "self-evident" constitutional values will triumph in the constitutional marketplace of ideas. The ideological …

Why Teach International Family Law In Conflicts?, William L. Reynolds
Why Teach International Family Law In Conflicts?, William L. Reynolds
Faculty Scholarship
[The author] sets forth a challenge to conflicts professors: to teach international family law in their conflict of laws classes. At present, many conflicts professors avoid teaching international family law, in part because the study of this subject is complicated by several statutes addressing particularly difficult issues. Ignorning international family law is unwise, because many United States citizens and lawyers are likely to confront such problems.

Nonrecourse Debt Revisited, Restructured And Redefined , Linda Sugin
Nonrecourse Debt Revisited, Restructured And Redefined , Linda Sugin
Faculty Scholarship
This article suggests that the foundation for the tax treatment of nonrecourse debt under current law-the true debt approach-is unworkable. It does not reflect economic reality or correctly measure income. It leads to bizarre and unpredictable consequences, and invites abuse, such as inflated seller financing and deduction shifting from low bracket to high bracket taxpayers. Much has been written about the role of nonrecourse debt in making abusive tax shelters profitable, and while abusive tax shelters no longer abound as they once did, nonrecourse debt continues to pose serious problems, even in the post-Tax Reform Act of 19862 era. If …

Famous Victory: Collective Bargaining Protections And The Statutory Aging Process, A , James J. Brudney
Faculty Scholarship
When it enacted the National Labor Relations Act in 1935, Congress gave statutory recognition to collectively bargained terms and conditions of employment. In recent decades, the number of cases in which the Supreme Court has interpreted the NLRA has declined, leaving the Act's interpretation and enforcement primarily to the National Labor Relations Board and the federal courts of appeals. In this Article, Professor Brudney presents the results of his study of 1,224 NLRB adjudications and their fate upon federal court review, from 1986 to 1993. Professor Brudney analyzes the reversal and affirmance data, and identifies areas of general Board-court agreement …
The Developing Role Of Non-Governmental Organizations In Global Policy And Law Making, Charlotte Ku
The Developing Role Of Non-Governmental Organizations In Global Policy And Law Making, Charlotte Ku
Faculty Scholarship
The history of international relations in the twentieth century may appear principally to be the story of the state.
At the same time, the history of international relations in the twentieth century is also one of international organizations as a means to support and strengthen the state's ability to discharge its primary functions of promoting order in the international system and ensuring the security of its own citizens.
An even more aggressive approach to meeting the needs of states is through aid programs like the UN Development Program.
These international organizations were created by governments, usually by treaty, to address …
